    Culture vs. Race

    -Race is a biological factor while Culture is a social factor
    -Issues with the concept of race include variability within physical characteristics, emotionally and politically charged connotations, a history of race-related oppression

    Dimensions along which cultures can differ (Brown and Landrum-Brown):

    -cultural paradigms define & dictate how humans beings love & experience life
    -the content and specific s of each vary from culture to culture
    -Paradigm shifts: leaves behind the old, and fills in the new. Change the way you think (ex: seeing poverty in another country, coming back feeling fortunate)

    Culture in America

    Comparing cultural paradigms between Whites and four Cultures of Color in America, Asian American, Native Americans, African Americans, Latino/a Americans (M. Ho)

    Nature and the Environment

    -European Americans prefer mastery over nature
    -Cultures of Color live in harmony with nature

    Time Orientation

    -European Americans are future-time oriented (planning, producing and controlling) and compartmentalized and incremental
    -Asian and Latino/a cultures are past-present oriented (past history is alive and influences present reality)
    -Native American and African American cultures are present-time oriented (focus on here and now, less attention to what led to present moment)

    People Relations

    -European Americans focus on the individual and actualization of the self
    -Cultures of Color have a collateral focus, involving doing things for the family

    Work and Activity

    -European, Asian and African Americans are doing oriented, with a focus on initiating activity to reach a specific goal
    -Latino/a and Native Americans are being-becoming oriented, with a focus on process and the present moment

    Human Nature

    -European and African Americans perceive human nature as having the potential for good and bad
    -Asian, Latino/a, and Native Americans hold the view that human nature is good

    Culture in Helping Theories

    Helping theories have their roots in Northern European cultural values and are therefore cannot be effectively applied universally

    Verbal expressiveness and self-disclosure:

    Cultures of Color often do not value or feel comfortable talking about themselves with strangers; reluctances should not be mistaken for defensiveness, depression, shyness, or passiveness

    Setting long-term goals

    Clients of Color are more action oriented and want concrete advice for their problems; directive approaches are less frustrating than long-term goals setting

    Autoplastic vs. alloplastic approach

    -Relative importance placed on changing the client to adapt to a situation (autoplastic)
    -Changing the client's environment (alloplastic)
    -often related to beliefs of locus of control and locus of responsibility

    *Asian American culture stresses passive acceptance of reality and focuses on adjusting one's perception to adjust

    *African Americans prefer to change the environment rather than themselves

    *Northern European culture tends to encourage confrontation of obstacles

    Definition of mental health

    Helping professions have adopted Northern European views of what is healthy and encourage clients to strive toward these characteristics

    *Northern European values of health relate to self (self-reliance, self-actualization, etc)

    *Some Cultures of Color (Asian and Native American) focus on the health of the collective personality
    ----Conflict is intrafamilial rather than intrapsychic

    "Civilized" (post-modern Northern European) vs. "primitive" cultural (traditional cultures including Cultures of Color in the U.S.)

    -Key characteristics of primitive cultures that have been lost through the civilizing process:

    *Nurturance of the individual
    *Engaging relationships through life cycle
    *Forms of institutionalized deviance
    *Participation in culture and ritual
    *Socio-economic support as natural inheritance

    -Loss of these characteristics in Cultures of Color have lead to increase in stress, dysfunction, and mental illness

    Strategies in seeking alternative models for service delivery beyond adaptation of Northern European helping paradigms

    -Creation of specific ethic-specific models designed to provide culturally sensitive approaches for specific communities
    -A return to traditional healing practices from client cultures
    -Inclusion of traditional healers and healing practices as part of a broad range of helping services within a community

    Which of the following is the least accurate description of culture:
    A) Culture is the way people have learned to respond to problems
    B) Culture is passed from generation to generation
    C) Culture is genetically engrained
    D) Culture is the building blocks of human paradigms

    Culture is genetically engrained

    Which of the following best describes one of the problems associated with the concept of race:
    A) There are few differences within certain races
    B) Defining race genetically opens the door to arguments about the inferiority of People of Color
    C)Race does not properly describe the cultural values and beliefs of a particular group
    D) None of the above; the concept of race is important in understanding the hereditary history of ethnic groups

    Defining race genetically opens the door to arguments about the inferiority of People of Color
