Topic: Social and Cultural Variables

Identify the  social and cultural variables at your internship site (include variables  such as age, gender, ethnicity, culture, family status, economic  status, etc. as applicable). Consider these questions:

• Are there differences between the clients served and the staff serving the clients?
• Does this make an impact on the delivery of services?
• How do the social realities around the site (local customs, social  status, cultural ‘realities’) impact the clients in your site?
• How do they impact delivery of services?

Find 1 peer-reviewed article that relates to the importance of  awareness of social and cultural differences. In 1 sentence, what did  you learn from that article?
