• Define cultural diversity, culture, and cultural competence using published articles, your textbook, but NOT an online dictionary.
• Select one of the following ways that people can be diverse (do not duplicate other students’ selections until all options have been used in the discussion). Find one research report on your selection and apply the findings to your nursing practice.
• Ways People Are Diverse:
• Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Religion, Ability, Socioeconomic Status, Sexual Orientation,
Prepare a 300-word response that covers your definitions, your selection for diversity, and the research report you found that explains it. Apply the findings to your practice.

Values and practices of family, culture, and community.

Posted on | by

Every child grows and develops differently. Individual child outcomes are influenced by values and practices of family, culture, and community. It is important for teachers to understand these outcomes and know how to support the growing child and their families. Teachers need to develop an awareness of developmental milestones within the context of discussions with families, childcare providers, paediatricians, public health nurses, and other educators.

Use the “Developmental Readiness Template” to compile information in preparation for speaking to a family about their child’s readiness to enter a childcare facility. Within the template, describe young children’s typical and atypical behaviors, characteristics, and needs in relation to cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional needs from birth to age 4.

Include the following:

Description of one typical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestone for children birth to age 4.
Descriptions of two atypical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestones for children birth to age 4.
Two strategies, per developmental stage, for families – one addressing typical behaviors and one addressing atypical behaviors. Include at least one technological/digital resource for typical or atypical behaviors.
Support your assignment with five scholarly references.

How can one learn about culture? Anthropology involves examining other cultures and documenting human behavior. Sometimes it involves comparing societies in order to increase self-understanding. Comparing observations of an indigenous culture with another culture can be complicated, but may be unavoidable as a participant observer who—no matter the efforts at objectivity—will most likely see things through his or her own culture. Anthropologists often learn about indigenous groups by examining cultural elements, including language, values, symbols, rituals, customs, and beliefs. These are elements that help define a culture. In this Discussion, you compare a thought, belief, or ritual from your own culture with that of an indigenous culture.

Review this week’s assigned readings in the course texts.

Select one indigenous group from the reading and review the cultural elements of that group.
Compare a thought, belief, or ritual that you practice in your own culture to a thought, belief, or ritual in an indigenous culture.
Consider how comparing aspects of two different cultures can be problematic or useful.
With these thoughts in mind:

Post one paragraph that describes your comparison of a thought, belief, or ritual in your own community with that from an indigenous culture. In a second paragraph, discuss the challenges in comparing thoughts, beliefs, or rituals from two communities in this way. Explain how this comparison might be useful.
