I’m working on a communications multi-part question and need an explanation to help me learn.
First class: Working with groups
Read the “job interview” case at the beginning of the chapter 4. Include the text of the questions in your post and the topic of your case in the subject line of your post.
Job Interview
1.How do the intercultural dimensions discussed in the chapter serve as a framework for assessing the differences in communication patterns between the software design team and Martha? Where were the biggest sources of friction between the two?
2.The software team included one Hispanic member (Jorge) and one African American member (Scott). How might these co-cultural differences have created challenges with Martha, if she had gotten the job?

Second class:Disabilities
1. How can an understanding of the devaluation that people with disabilities experience guide human service practice? How would you as a practitioner incorporate your understanding of oppression in working with people with disabilities?

Last class :Communications
1. Chapter 3 draws distinctions between the functions of the family unit. Which of these functions is the most important to the maintenance of deep structure of culture? Why? Does your opinion create advantages for you? How does your position limit you? (For example, if I think ‘reproduction’ is the most important, I may be emboldened by the fact that I have 5 children. Or I may feel inferior if I’ve have no children.) Which one of these family functions, if any, needs more focus or cultivating in today’s society?
2.Put the word family into an internet browser search engine and then select “images” to look at the photos, cartoons, etc. that pop up when we look up the word family. What do you notice about those ‘families’ that the internet determines are families? Are there any disturbing trends? Any reassuring trends? Choose one photo that came up in your search and analyze it based on the elements and qualities your book uses to explain the family unit. (Be sure to include a link to the photo or upload it directly in your post.)
3. Chapter 3 discusses intercultural views regarding the elderly. Choose one of the photos in the “Intercultural Images” section of the Content area. How does the image support or go against cultural constructions of the elderly? Are the images surprising to you or affirming to you? How might the images be altered to make them more interculturally ‘traditional,’ in your opinion?
