Working with diverse populations it is also important to remember that within a specific race there are different cultures and subcultures. Culture within a race includes knowledge, beliefs, morals and customs as a part of that society. It is important to remember that just because two people have the same skin color and share genetically the same race, culturally they can be very different. In North America Native Americans are unfortunately grouped together based on similar characteristics. Although many Native American tribes due share a great deal not only genetically but culturally, tribes have developed their own set of social norms and culture based on region and possible different spiritual beliefs. To further differentiate within the

It is important and beneficial to value and promote cultural diversity in your work with children because people come from all walks of life, we are now a multicultural society and even though we are a catholic school we have children who are not catholic in our classes. we have celebrated Chinese new year and the children in reception tried Chinese food, and we have just celebrated Judaism week where the children in year4/5 were taught about and made a

1. “Developing a knowledge base about cultural diversity”Teachers must know that culture is defined by a variety of important factors. “Among these are ethnic groups’ cultural values traditions, communications, learning styles, contributions, and relational patterns” (Gay, 2007, p. 107). Knowing these and how they apply to each culture will help create a stimulating and supportive environment for students.

The shifting paradigm trends describe by Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn (2008) can be used to delve further into the understanding of the organizational behavior that exists

New York City, the borough of Queens in particular is the most ethnically diverse urban center on the planet, with nearly 48% of the population of the borough being foreign born. My own neighborhood, Flushing, is home to numerous cultural groups (predominately Asian, Spanish and Greek). I learned to count in Chinese along with English, went to lunar festivals with friends, along with countless bar mitzvah’s and quincenieras, and still attended CCD on Wednesdays. I can tell you the way to properly eat Xiao Long Bao, where to find the best Spanikopita. There are two churches on my block alone, (one is Chinese, the other Korean), and meanwhile Temple Beth Sholom and St. Nicolas Orthodox are three blocks down and the Buddhist Temple in walking distance as well. Yet despite the cultures being so varied, not a soul feels out of place. The strength of the community is ever present, and it truly embodies the “melting pot” spirit that comes to mind when discussing American immigration. As Paine stated, ”The Union of these people [is] so impractical” however each lives in “cordial unison” with the other, and take advantage of the amazing opportunity given, to live and learn and understand those of other

The article explains the importance of understanding race. Racial diversity is spreading in numerous organizations, including religion. The author states that “interracial churches will need to placate white members’ and affirm their religiocultural preferences and interests in order to sustain a racially diverse

Every culture is different. From different countries, to different states, to different cities to different families. From a very young age each person establishes a culture of their own, revolving around beliefs, traditions and morals. Growing up, many people attend church with their parents. There, they learn how they ae expected to behave, what holidays they will celebrate, and sometimes that is where they make their first set of friends. When someone moves to a new place where they are expected to change their culture, the transition can be very difficult. For example, if someone attends the same church for the first ten years of their life, but then ends up switching due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as a parent getting deployed,

Your faithful participation does two things. Frist, it shows your support of the Pastor God given vision in the direction God is leading this Church. Second, it’s both affirmation and encouragement to your new pastor that you recognize that God is in this calling.

As educators, it is important for us to understand the cultural diversity we face in our classroom. We can strengthen our relationship by communicating with the student, as well as the family. Cultural diversity can help us when we expand our search in this area to better educate us and help prepare a curriculum to better educate our students in communicating with all cultures.

It is a challenge to provide important information about specific cultures without the appearances of stereotyping and many educational programs are focused on helping learners to understand how to communicate with individuals from other cultures or with beliefs and experiences that are different from their own. (Fetters, 2005, p. 1307)

First, the religious culture that impacts me is being Lutheran. A value we have is going to church to pray, we are expected to participate and be kind and respectful to everyone joining us. I do this by going to church on Sundays and Wednesdays, (confirmation), along with going to church choir too. I attend the services quietly, and always try to respect people´s space. Another value is our spiritual beliefs, we pray to

Reading through the few definitions of cultural competence in the attachment really spoke to me in regards to how to practically keep an environment that is accepting of diversity. What I really took from it is that we must have the capacity to do a cultural self-assessment. Sometimes it is easy to think we are loving and accepting of differences, but really thinking about how we treat people with differences will show the truth. We will have children in our classes that just act a little differently from the average. Frustration is an easy response, but remembering that this could just be a culture difference is so important. Once recognized, we can find out what the child needs. It might be a different need from the majority of the

Regardless of my town’s homogeneous population, I grew up accepting diversity and valuing individual differences even amid the same racial group. One of the first experiences of diversity I can vividly recall is the various religious beliefs within the Black community. My parents believed “exposure to the world around you” was one of the primary factors for raising a well-rounded individual. Therefore, we often visited different churches of various faiths.

It is always helpful to have some type of knowledge in case you meet or begin working with a person who is a member of a diverse group. If ever I encounter someone whose diversity I am not familiar with, I ask him or her questions to learn more. I do my best not to offend them by asking general questions and let them lead the conversation. I usually start off by asking where a person is from and go from there. I make it a point to let them know that I am always interested in learning about diverse groups so that they know I am curious about their culture.

Finally a pastor has to know the distinctions of Authority and power. It is not uncommon to see pastors are using power instead of the authority God given them. . "Authority" is responsibility that derived from someone greater than us. That means the full responsibility
