Please avoid presenting on your own culture. The goal is to provide an informative, objective overview of the chosen culture, focusing on what a helping professional should understand when working with this group. Since this presentation should be information-based, not personal opinion, references are required. Please also BE CREATIVE! Need to be 7 power point slides
Examples of Cultures to Consider:
· Older Adults
Presentation Guidelines:
1. Define the Culture
· Describe key aspects of the culture such as people, language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music, etc. Tailor this information to the culture you choose.
2. Interview
· If possible, it is highly recommended that you interview 1-2 people from the culture you are presenting on to gain and share deeper insights.(my Grandmother 93, years old)
3. Biases/Prejudices
· Identify any biases or prejudices that are important to note about this culture.
4. What Helping Professionals Should Know
· Discuss what a helping professional should understand and be aware of when working with this group.
5. References
· Support your work with at least 5 references. Ensure you adhere to APA7 guidelines.
