Week 5 Assignment: Practicing Cultural Humility
For this Assignment, you will interview someone who is from a different culture than your own, keeping in mind the many ways culture may be defined (for example, ethnicity, religion, region, nationality, and language groups).
Practicing cultural humility, conduct a 15–20-minute interview with an individual who is from a different culture than you. You may conduct this interview by phone or video conference if you are unable to meet face-to-face.

To Prepare
· Review the Learning Resources and Course Announcements.
· Review the requirements of the paper.
· Arrange 20-30 minutes of time you can commit to your interview so that you will not be unnecessarily distracted.
· Consider how you will take notes of the interview. For example, determine whether it be appropriate to take notes during the interview, or if you will be able to capture notes after the interview.
· Keep the interview within the 15-20 minutes out of respect for your interviewee’s time, and consider how you will ask specific questions before the interview.
·
NOTE: Protect your interviewee’s confidentiality – do not share their name or other identifying information in your paper.
By Day 7
Submit a summary of your interview in a 3- to 4-page APA formatted paper. You may quote your interviewee as needed, but you are writing a summary of your interview, not a transcript. In your paper:
· Provide a brief description of the culture your interviewee identifies with.
· Provide a summary of your interviewees responses concerning:
· how the interviewee’s culture views wellness and illness;
· what the interviewee says others often get wrong about their culture;
· jhow the interviewee sees their culture has informed their point of view;
· how the interviewee defines “crisis” and how that definition may be informed by their culture; and
· what the interviewee would want crisis responders to know about their culture and any suggestions your interviewee has about working with individuals from their culture.
· Analyze and compare cultural perspectives on crisis and crisis response.
· Provide a reflection on how you practiced cultural humility in the interview:
· What is something you liked about what you did?
· What is something you would like to improve and how might you go about that?
· What did you learn about your interviewee’s culture or your own culture that surprised you?
