For the intercultural interview, I decided to interview my friend Medelyn, a 19 year old female of Honduran and Mexican descent. During the interview, I focused on her Honduran culture, as she was born in Honduras, I asked her a multitude of various questions ranging from formalities in her culture to gender roles to classism in her culture.. The interview lasted about twenty minutes, I asked her about fifteen questions, and after she answered each question there would be a small discussion about her answer. When interviewing Medelyn, it was important to rid myself of any ethnocentrism, assumed cultural similarity or differences, stereotyping, and anything that could create a bias and compromise the interview.

Mexican culture is colorful and rich, enriched with pride and heritage. Family values and strong moral constitution have sustained the culture for hundreds of years.

My cultural interview was with a coworker, 28 years of age and of Hispanic descent. While conducting the interview I learned a lot about the Hispanic culture. Many Hispanics like to be called Latino (a). Some do not like to be referred to as Mexican when they are from other countries other than Mexico. Hispanics also use slang within their culture just like African Americans. Within the culture the male is the dominant figure in the household.

Overall my mock interview went better than I had initially anticipated it would be. The mock interview allowed me to find out about skills I did not know I had as well as skills I need to hone in order to use them to my benefit in interviews in the future. I have had previous experience doing interviews for jobs and scholarships and have even practiced my interviewing skills in high school.

It is important to know how to formalize an answer on the spot without sounding unsure of the answer the

Gross also asked him personal questions that pertained to his own experiences with recreational drugs and being a neurologist. Therefore, in this paper, I will be discussing what techniques Gross used and whether or not they were successful in obtaining valuable information from Sacks.

I can only imagine what it would be like to be a student who is culturally different from their peers at school and not even the teachers or administrators know how to properly act around students of different cultural backgrounds. I personally would not be fond of being in an environment that made me feel uncomfortable or negative in any way.

We discussed our school related experiences throughout kindergarten and high school. The main focus of our differences was our race and how our experiences were affected by it. Stephanie shared about the experiences

Doing my practicum at the Regina Immigrant Women Centre had given me an opportunity to watch the staff interacting with the clients who came from different cultural backgrounds. It also provided me with an opportunity to develop and enhance my own cultural sensitivity when dealing with people that came from different cultural backgrounds. I also gained the opportunity to put into effect some of the theoretical skills such as acceptance of cultural differences between people, empathy, warmth, and a capacity to respond flexibly to a range of possible situations regarding settlement needs. I learned to be very respectful of each person’s culture because of the examples that were set by the RIWC staff and also was able to connect it to JS 460.
