Week 1 Assignment, Part 2: Diversity Knowledge Post Survey (10 points) (W1LO 5, CLO 3)
According to Stephen Covey (1992), being more self-aware allows us to more fully understand the way we approach life and the people we encounter. As we become more aware of how we see ourselves, how we are treated, and perhaps how others see us, we will become more able to understand how others may see and feel about their treatment, others values and experiences, and their worldviews. Without such self-awareness, we are likely to “project our intentions on others behavior and call ourselves objective” (Covey, 1992, p. 67).
The Diversity Knowledge Survey (Spradlin, 2012) below provides a means to identify the cultural imprints that affect your cultural self. In week 1 you completed this survey. After our 5-week cultural proficiency journey, you are asked to complete the survey again and reflect on the differences and similarities between yourself and members of other cultural groups.
Directions:
Circle the number which best assesses the extent of your knowledge of each topic:
1: None = complete unfamiliarity
2-3: Minimal = some familiarity
4-5: Average = ability to discuss the topic
7-8 Extensive = ability to debate/explain/lead a discussion on the topic
