W05 Reflection: Immigration

Instructions
Answer the following questions in 2-3 well-formed paragraphs.

Question 1

Because social work practitioners commonly work with people from various cultural backgrounds and
membership in numerous identity groups, they need to develop skills that help them navigate cultural
differences.

 Develop a plan that you will apply to your practice as a social worker to ensure that you
maintain both cultural competence and cultural humility.

We must first understand that in today's diverse and multicultural society, cultural
competency is an essential skill for social workers.

And understand, appreciate, and work effectively with people from different cultural
backgrounds

Together with the cultural humility of self-reflection and self-criticism, we can address
inequalities

1. Identify how many cultures exist in the community.


2. motivational talks of psychological support for people from other cultures so
that the adaptation to a new country does not cause sadness or depression

3. Fairs and integration of different cultures so that people have knowledge and
respect for cultures

These cultural integration fairs will help the process of openness, self-awareness,
egolessness, and incorporation of self-reflection and criticism after voluntarily
interacting with different people from different cultures and religious beliefs

Question 2

When working with clients of different ethnicities, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations,
religious groups, social classes, and other groups, the culturally competent social worker must
constantly reflect on ways in which culture affects practice.

 Identify three ways in which your own culture may affect your practice.
 In addition, identify three aspects of the self that are influenced by culture, and give examples
of each using your awareness of yourself and your culture.

In my case my culture is multicultural, Ecuador there are indigenous, black, and


mestizo people from the mountains with people from the coast, sometimes it can
affect my way of thinking and acting with other people because I am from another
region of my country

For example

The people of the Ecuadorian highlands speak the Quechua language differently

Their way of dressing is different from us

The way people are treated differs according to the region of my country, for example
on the Ecuadorian coast we are more aggressive in dealing with people unlike the
people of the Ecuadorian highlands who are more friendly and peaceful
