W3 Discussion "Intercultural Sensitivity"

·

The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity

The following topic(s) will demonstrate what the discussion is about, but feel free to branch off or

ex

pand on the topics. In addition to this discussion, you will be asked to craft a 150 word reflection on

what you have learned through this conversation and post it to the Reflection Journal. The more active

you are in this part of the discussion, the more

you will have to draw from in your reflection, so get

involved, be active, help out your classmates when they need it, and, most of all, enjoy the

conversation.

As culturally aware as we may be, we all see the world through the lenses of our own cultural

e

xperiences, and even the greatest among us struggle to understand people who are different from us.

For this discussion, review the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity on pages 81

85 of the

Learning through Serving

stages do you find yourself in? Why do you think

that is, and what do you think you could do to help you climb to the next level? Remember, we are all

learning and growing here, so there are no right or wrong answers, so long as we are being honest with

o

urselves and others.

Please respond to the in

itial question by day 5 and be sure to post two

additional times to peers and/or instructor by day 7.

If you use any source

outside of your own thoughts, you should reference that source. Include solid

grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling
