MULTICULTURAL EVENT/ACTIVITY

Description

Choose and research a cultural or diverse event that you are not familiar with. Examples can include a ritual, holiday, religious custom, cultural practice, cultural celebrations, etc. While these are a few suggestions please think outside the box and find something that interests you.

You are encouraged to explore a group/population which you have the MOST preconceived ideas and a primary purpose is to experience noticeably being in the minority. Past experiences may not be used for this assignment unless written permission is provided by the instructor.

Write a reflection paper of what you have learned. You should include ways this experience might influence your work as a healthcare provider and ways in which you can better prepare for this future client. Activities may include but are not limited to, examining a religious service, a funeral of another religion, or research any other event that may be related to a cultural, ethnic, value, or identity issue different from your own. Please note that you must receive prior instructor approval for the event you choose.
