Cultural Bias Or Prejudice: Future Work With Clients
What form of cultural bias or prejudice are you most likely to hold without being aware of these biases? How might these biases affect your future work with clients?
The area of cultural bias I may not be aware of is religious bias. I was raised in the church and growing up religious played a big role in my life. I do believe there is a higher power and I have faith that when we leave here we go to a better place. There are times when I find it hard to understand or communicate with someone who does not have any religious beliefs. I struggle to understand them because to me religion provides a person with a sense of purpose. Whatever your religion is it encourages you to be caring and helpful toward your fellow neighbors and things in that

    A person's culture greatly influences the way they view others and the world. For example a person that grows up in the city would most likely see killing an animal as something you shouldn't do. Someone that grows up in the “country” would see it as a normal thing, thats his/her next supper. Another example would be fashion, in the modern day people dress flashy and purchase expensive brand name items. But people from certain cultures see that as stupid and don't think it makes sense.…

    I think that culture has a big affect on how we look at the world and other people because it's what makes us all unique.

Currently people are labeling others based on their appearance and have been saying stereotypes like ¨ All Mexicans own taco trucks¨…

    Do you sometimes have doubts about your perspective of yourself based on how society is or what is "popular", or even what someone tells you? Do you sometimes listen to them and sometimes not? Cultures do have a certain impact on our daily perceptions and how we view others, but we are still in control of our own being, our take on how people around us act, and how we choose to let them impact us or not. Outside judgment from society and our peers could also change or alter how we think of ourselves. One example of how cultures affect us is an Indian lady named Bharati Mukherjee sharing her experiences with people outside of her culture.…

    In order to be culturally competent we must come to the realization that even though we might see ourselves as a very welcoming and non-bias individual we probably are guilty of stereotyping and generalizing at some point in our lives. I am half Swedish and half Persian therefore, I was early on in life surrounded by two completely different cultures and this has definitely made me more open to other cultures than my own, but to say that I don’t stereotype or prejudice would be a lie, I think we all do it subconsciously sometimes.…

    While I acknowledge that I am a cultural being, and that I was raised in a specific culture and by parents who had very specific biases and attitudes about different cultural groups, I do not feel that I have any biases or attitudes against culturally different groups. I do have perceptions about culturally different groups as well beliefs. To me bias and attitude hold negative connotations and imply that the individuals who hold bias and attitudes are governed by them. I do not believe this to be the case with myself. While I do hold perceptions and beliefs about culturally different groups, these do not hold a negative connotation to me. By holding these perceptions and beliefs I am acknowledging that these groups are in fact different and that that is perfectly acceptable.…

    Given that I have had previous experience with people from various cultures and differing worldviews, I may have more of an advantage than most with this topic. I have lived in group housing that taught me valuable lessons in dealing with those who have different ideas and values than me, and found that if I allow myself to be open and receptive, I can see where others’ perspectives originate, and find something worthwhile in other’s disputes. On the other hand, people always surprise me and you never can be sure what someone is going to do or say. Even typically mild-mannered people can become volatile or upset, especially when interacting with others in emotional circumstances, myself included.…
