Cultural Sensitivity Video Analysis

Studies show physical evidence that college athletes deserve to be paid. Many studies were conducted to prove that athletes deserve to be paid. If student athletes have to balance their school work with their sports, they deserve some type of award. Some athletes do not go to the professional league and will not always get an award for moving on to the next level, some have to find a job, instead of still playing sports. Athletes deserve to receive money because they work harder than some professional athletes to get the recruiter's attention.

I. Executive summary (maximum 250 words) Training on cultural competence today is an urgent necessity for many organizations. As institutions expand their relationships and processes around the world, staff and executives themselves find themselves dealing with people from different cultures. Differences in behaviors and expectations arising from differences in cultural backgrounds make dealing in this global environment fraught with many possibilities of misinterpretation and disruption of communication. Practical solutions are to find realistic and ideal ways to preserve a climate and an environment that supports "cultural competence" by promoting respect for and understanding of diverse cultures and individuals.

Cultural competence is the ability to acknowledge, understand, respect and communicate with cultures and ethnicities different from one’s own. It encourages the acceptance of individual’s differences in appearance, behavior, and culture which offers positive changes in the way people interact with others. Furthermore, it offers an awareness and sensitivity to diverse cultures that often goes unrecognized (Hanser & Gomila, 2016). By fully understanding how to effectively interact with people from diverse cultures, the individual maximizes their ability to interact, not only in professional settings with staff and clients but in our growing society as a whole. Also, being culturally competent is beneficial because while it improves interactions between people of

My personal definition of Intersectionality is the study when society or someone classifies a person as race, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc. After viewing the video, it’s sad to say I was not really shocked at how the onlookers reacted to each person. In the video each person was categorized differently and had somewhat different experiences and reactions. In this case I believe the main intersectionality results that the three people experienced were race, gender and class.

In March of 2011, UCLA student Alexandra Wallace uploaded a video to YouTube in which she rants about how certain Asians act inside the library and in the campus dorms. The 3 minute video titled “Asians in the Library” would go on to become viral, with millions of views, and making its way around news agencies. The video also opened the gate to countless “video response” and parodies, with some being more atrocious compared to the Wallace video. In the video, Wallace describes “the hordes of Asians” at UCLA who in her view lack basic American manners. Wallace goes on to describe her annoyance with the families of Asian students who come to the dorms on weekends to help clean and cook for them, saying “these Asian students never learned to fend for themselves.” About a week after

The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa defines Cultural Awareness as “observing and being conscious of similarities and contrasts between cultural groups” (Ottawa, "Cultural Awareness or Sensitivity"). To me, I think the meaning of Cultural Awareness is to just be aware and respectful to others from different cultures who surround you. Rather than just ignoring all the different cultures and differences around you, you should be aware to gain more knowledge of your community or society. Cultural Sensitivity is similar to cultural awareness as Cultural Sensitivity builds upon the concept of Cultural Awareness. Cultural Sensitivity includes the awareness aspect and adds the concept of removing prejudice and assumptions, whether positive or negative. To me, I find that Cultural Sensitivity combines awareness with open-mindedness. When we are more respectful and open to learning about others around us we can become more Culturally Sensitive. In addition, Cultural Safety brings together both awareness and sensitivity by gaining and furthering knowledge, understanding, and respect for the other cultures surrounding you. Cultural Humility is the "ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is other-oriented (or open to the other) in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are most important to the [person]" (Waters & Asbill, "CYF News | August 2013 Reflections on cultural humility", 2013). Put simply, cultural humility is the process of opening yourself up to develop partnerships with other groups or cultures and to maintain equilibrium of power between

From my perspective, cultural competence goes beyond tolerance for differences like ethnicity, age, gender, religion or sexual orientation. It’s not just about understanding diversity; it’s about diversity and inclusion. It requires allowing your professional and personal selves to be put in situations that push you outside of your comfort zone.

The leaders that graduate from this program will prove to the people we are trying to work with from different cultures that we care about them by making an effort to understand their culture and work well within the culture. This will give our organization a competitive advantage.

Cultural shapes how individuals experience the world around them. These experiences are a vital component of how services are both delivered and received. Gladding (2012) describes three key aspects of a multicultural leader. The first key aspect is to be aware of a diverse population and the effect on group work interventions (Gladding, 2012). To better facilitate a multicultural group, a leader

Cultural sensitivity refers to therapist understanding peoples from different backgrounds having different values, practices, and beliefs. I have to be sensitive to those differences when working with individuals and families in therapy. Multicultural competence means effectively working with people who are from different cultural backgrounds. This means, as therapist, I have to learn to be aware of how my own cultural backgrounds affect us and our work.

Today’s management in the workforce is composed of all types of people verses thirty years ago when white males held a majority of upper-management positions in companies. These positions are now held by a mixture of ethnic back grounds and women who hold just as many if not more management positions then men. Just by looking at the changes in management demographics shows how important it is for people to understand cultural competency in the workplace. Dr. Roosevelt Thomas Jr. (1999) stated, “Diversity is the collective mixture of whomever we have in our workforce characterized by their differences and similarities” (p.11). Managers and supervisors must understand the characteristics of a diversity mature individual; they also need to be

Inclusive leadership is the practice of leadership that carefully includes the contributions of all stakeholders in the community or organization. The way a leadership mind is structured depend on how he structures his organization. An individual mindset might over shadow their ability to effectively overturn certain decision or behaviors. A leader’s values and characteristics strengthen the organization cultural diversity. Modern leaders use different styles and skills to shape human intuition. Their instinct reflect their ability to understand other’s cognitive ability. As a consultant in a global multicultural company, it will be very challenging to effectively lead an organization without implementing a strategic plan that promote respect, trust, loyal, and integrity. Prewitt, Weil, & McClure (2011) note, “Leadership involves creating a vision of the organizational future, devising a strategy for achieving that vision, and communicating that vision to all members of the organization” (p. 13). Depending on the structure of the organization, the leader’s mindset can and will change to adopt to the cultural diversity of the organization. Leadership, unlike management, is not dependent on position, title or privilege; instead it is an observable, understandable, and learnable set of skills that can be mastered by anyone that is willing to take the time and put forth the effort to learn them (Yukl, 1998). While implementing different strategies to improve the organizational

In any society, how we see ourselves and how others treat us depends on many factors. Race, ethnicity, and cultural background are identifiers of individuals. Most people have confronted prejudice based on these identifiers, either personally experiencing discrimination or knowing someone who has. Beyond ensuring organizational compliance with a country’s anti-discrimination laws, it is incumbent upon managers to support diversity in the workplace and to be culturally competent.

One text that has been influential in the understanding of my calling is the call of Samuel. This can be found in 1 Samuel 3:1-10. Samuel was called by God as a boy while he assisted Eli who ministered in the house of the Lord. While lying down in his designated place, Samuel
