They are aware of multiculturalism in society and its impact on the community as well as individuals within the community. They respect the cultures and beliefs of individuals and groups.
Respect for Diversity
This chapter on respecting diversity is written from a community psychology lens, but addresses key terms that are very relevant in the human services field (especially in reference to human services ethical standards 10 and 11-below). While much of this chapter will be a review for you, please read through the text and take the self-assessment to ensure that you are familiar with these terms and concepts as we begin more advanced work in this area throughout Fieldwork I and II.
