DIRECTIONS:
1. Watch the following video on Cultural Competence (24.59mins) and complete the questions below.
1. Can you think of a situation where using cultural competencies could have improved an experience you witnessed that included a diverse group of people (this can be a personal experience or an experience you observed)? Based on what you know about cultural competencies now, how might this situation be handled differently?
2. How is cultural competency an important concept in your major/profession today? (As part of this question, please play either Are you a Dream Hoarder Game: https://www.brookings.edu/interactives/are-you-a-dream-hoarder/ or Spent - The Poverty Simulator: http://playspent.org/. Note, these games may trigger your emotions, so reflect on what you learned in this module when you answer.)
3. Final Reflection Post. Throughout this course module, we have explored cultural competencies. Look back at an international classmates' Mini Writing Assignment HW#1 (Cultural Diversity) and other discussion posts, then reflect on what you have learned about being a culturally competent global citizen by reviewing an assignment created by someone from a different country. Do you see anything in common and/or different with your own views of cultural competencies in the assignment you reviewed? What have you gained from this cross-cultural perspective/experience? What things do you find interesting about their perspectives? Any final thoughts?
