Self- Reflection and Examination Andrea Scott Los Angeles Pacific University Psyc 430 Cultural Psychology Dr. Kimberly Smarr October 22nd, 2023
The concept of culture itself is a compound word, to gain a thorough understanding of its evolution would take decades as it differs from generation to generation. Self-mastery can be achieved through self-reflection, identifying personal biases, and carefully examining one's strengths and weaknesses. The cultural background of an individual significantly shapes their attitudes and behaviors. The customs and beliefs ingrained in a culture tend to influence the way people perceive and respond to various situations. Upon my initial review of Russell's chart, I had a preconceived notion about what steps he should take to alleviate his workload-induced stress and minimize the possibility of self-harm. I was also able to point out his isolation from others, his inability to make meaningful relationships, and managing his depression. Upon further review, I found that the stress, loneliness and isolation comes from a deeper place and that it stems from a trauma-informed upbringing that was traumatic and unstable during his childhood. Hence, the reason why he struggles in his current life.
