Description

The American Psychological Association defines culture as "the belief systems and value orientations that influence customs, norms, practices and social institutions, including psychological processes (language, caretaking practices, media, educational systems) and organizations ... these definitions suggest that culture is fluid and dynamic." Each of us is a cultural being, and digging into issues of diversity is a highly personal endeavor that can be very rewarding and tap into deep emotional reservoirs. As we take this journey together, we anticipate discovering similarities and differences.

Course Takeaways

Individuals will gain a deeper appreciation for "other" and a general understanding of cultural identity models.
