HUMN 4009 Walden University Week 5 Applying Cultural Humility to Relationships Paper

 

  • Describe a person you interact with on a regular basis who:
    • Does not share your cultural background
    • Challenges your assumptions or beliefs and/or subscribes to beliefs you may not hold (Some possibilities are a colleague, acquaintance, family member, someone in a service or retail position for an establishment you frequent, or a member of the public you serve in your job.)
  • Identify the challenges that you have faced in connecting and creating a relationship with this person. What steps do you need to take to overcome these challenges and develop an authentic relationship with this person?
  • Do you think this person wants/would welcome developing a more connected relationship with you? What disadvantages might there be for them in forging a closer relationship with you?
  • Considering your professional role, how will you create a cultural “third space,” as described by Abumrad, when interacting with people who are different from you?
  • What are the advantages of cultivating professional relationships with others outside your culture in this way?
