week_4_assignment_and_rubric.docOverview
Culture and race are often used interchangeably. However, culture can vary within a race and it is important to understand the ways in which culture varies by geographic region, socioeconomic background, education, and other variables. While a course in multicultural counseling often focuses on race, it is important to look at cultural differences/similarities as well. Because many counseling models have been developed for the majority population, multicultural courses have often neglected to include discussions about European Americans. Cultural differences for European Americans can be just as distinct as those between individuals of two races.
Assignment 4 will help you to examine strategies for improving your multicultural competence and for providing services to European Americans. You should also listen to the video lecture, review supplemental materials, and use the rubrics as guides to help you complete the assignment. This assignment will count toward your final grade and is due by Day 7, and is worth 75 points.
Directions
Read your textbook chapters and review the video lecture. To complete this assignment, address the following questions (one or two pages).
1. What are some of the unique challenges faced by European Americans? (1-2 paragraphs)
2. What can you do to increase your level of multicultural competence in working with individuals from various European American backgrounds? (1-2 paragraphs).
3. What stereotypes should counselors of European Americans be aware of and work to avoid?
4. Reflect on your learning experience related to multicultural counseling and counseling European Americans across the lifespan. Discuss how you can better serve clients from these cultural backgrounds in your school or clinic (2-4 paragraphs).
