Understanding your own views, values and possible bias’s can lead to being more open and wanting to learn about other cultures. Being open to listening and learning is a big step in becoming culturally competent, and understanding yourself is essential.

We all work interchangeably to contribute to this world we live in. Some people choose to live their life more closed off than others, which would entail “less threads” in their blanket but they still contribute to the world in some way.

Whereas, Jesus ultimately sees us as “Who we are” in which we all connect such as doing no harm to others, learning to coexist, how we all look to him for guidance and answers, how we connect with one another and contribute to the world. On the outside individuals may differ but in the inside we all hold the same core values of being human.

– Growing up Vietnamese but living in a town that was predominantly Hispanic and African American Just by having more exposure to other individual of other cultures makes me more competent as a health practitioner because you learn the do’s and dont’s, cultural norms, specific lifestyles, and tendencies within other cultures and how to address and treat them differently but with the same amount of advocacy and respect.
