Introduction

As an informed person, my stance on cultural competence is very perfect since I do accept and respect everybody’s life choices including myself. From the previous, I discussed the gay marriage or same-sex relationships; this aspect of cultural identifier remains an ethical, societal, political as well as civil rights issue in most of the nations across the globe. For instance, the US recognizes same-sex marriages while in other places; people argue that marriage sanctity is meant for bounding a woman to a man. With that, marriage delineation makes same-sex relationships to be unacceptable in such communities.

Cultural Competence Continuum and Its Relationship to Cultural Identifier

The war against same-sex relationships is usually triggered by the idea that same-sex lovers should never be allowed destroy marriage purpose or meaning, have a separation by using a designation regarding the relationship they have or that they are deprived of their human rights. However, my stance is for the idea that everyone should be allowed to couple with whoever they choose thus ensuring enlightened delineation of the marriage meaning or purpose. For instance, my cousin is gay and he is in a loving relationship right now, he should, therefore, be allowed to express the love has for his partner without fear.

The Place on the Competence Continuum Reflection

I was brought up in a respectful family, therefore acceptance, value to humanity and respect for others opinion and ideas is something I value very much. Being a Black-American, I have learned that my family did go through so many tribulations but they overcame them. However, in August 2005 did change the out view on most of the things in our community. Hurricane Katrina disaster did occur at this time, it caused the death of more than 1,800 individuals, destroyed buildings flooded allover thus causing displacement and destroying many lives (Powelson, 2017). I have learned that when there are disasters, people do put things like prejudices, hate, anger, as well as mistrust aside to save lives. At such times, there are big acceptance and respect expressions within the communities affected. I would wish that such behaviors be carried even at times when there are no disasters and this should extend to every human being whether you are a same-sex individual or not.

The Reflection on Various Steps of Making one an Effective Educator

To be an effective educator within the society, it is upon me to accept and respect everybody regardless of their background. People do have different ways i.e. past, views; religion, as well as backgrounds and every member of the society, must be open and accepts such facts. As an effective educator, we should pay attention to cues as well as moments so that we are in a position to redirect any anger that might arise on the same. We can as well use those moments in teaching ways that one can hurt a fellow and cause a lot of trouble for the parties involved. As an effective educator, one should as well very understand that certain students are sometimes fearful of diversity due to a certain situation in their lives and this should be handled appropriately without causing harm or issues to such students. However, this doesn’t mean that we should give room for segregation of students since it is very important to have students learn one another and have knowledge of different cultural groups, so we should allow them always to work together as a team.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, it can be deduced that same-sex relationships still are a big issue in many communities due to the fact that many still view it as s crime. Despite the legal status, it has been accorded; people are still looking down at it and consider it illegal in many countries. Some people have a feeling that gay parents should never be allowed to raise children since it will contribute to more LBGTQ individuals. Some children are raised with the idea of hating and nothing can be done about it. It is high time people start thinking about a society that is safe, respectful and acceptable of other cultural identifiers through addressing the negativity and stigma. We should now address those moments and use them in teaching about what is

acceptable and that which is not accepted.
