SOCS350 Cultural Diversity in the Professions
Week 8 Discussion
DQ1 Appreciating Our Differences
We have been talking about the importance of understanding our own attitudes and prejudices in order to appreciate cultural differences. In light of this topic, why is it important? How have you dealt with situations in which you did or said things that you later learned or realized might have been offensive, or at least misunderstood?
Follow-Up Post Instructions
Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification. For example, what did you learn about your own attitudes and prejudices? Have you changed your perspective on any of the issues and/or topics presented in the class? Please explain with specific examples.
DQ2 Reflection
For the initial post, look back over the Course Outcomes and address the following:
What are you looking forward to learning more about throughout your education and career in the helping professions?
How will you be able to apply the information learned in this class to your role in the workplace? Specifically, reflect on the course by sharing some examples about the importance of valuing diversity and the importance of self-awareness in your role as a professional in a healthcare or helping professions environment.
