As a social worker, you may not often have the  ability to select your clients. Social workers must be able to work  within a variety of cross-cultural settings and possess the skills to  provide focused interventions to diverse populations. As a Walden  student, you will often be asked to reflect on culturally sensitive  approaches and ways that you would apply them to specific situations. 

By Day 7

Submit, using Kaltura Media, a 5- to 7-minute video in which you respond to the following:

Part A: Introduction

Provide  an innovative introduction of yourself. Include your name and any  interesting background information related to your ethnicity and/or any  other aspects of your identification. In your introduction, describe a  diverse population that you would like to work with or that you  currently work with. 

Part B: Definitions and Applications 

In  social work education and practice, you will often encounter a variety  of definitions. Below, you will find twelve words associated with the  concept of diversity and difference in practice. For this section,  provide a working definition for two of the following terms. Then,  describe how a vulnerable/diverse population might experience the word  that you have selected. For example, you may select “Marginalization.”  You will discuss how a specific population has experienced this. Be  specific. 

  Bias  Oppression  Marginalization  Ethnicity    Gender Identity and Expression  Privilege  Social Justice  Cultural Awareness    Diversity  Intersectionality  Cultural Humility  Empathy    

Part C: Developing Cultural Humility:

It  is highly recommended that you write a script before recording your  video. A good guide for translating the length of your written script  into video time is about 135 words per minute.
