1.) Defining Cultural Sensitivity. Cultural Sensitivity is defined as a) Being aware that cultural differences and similarities between people exist without assigning them a value – positive or negative, better or worse, right or wrong.

2.)

  • Think beyond race and ethnicity. A person's culture is shaped by more than the color of their skin or the way that they dress.
  • Learn by asking.
  • Make local connections.
  • Pay attention to non-verbal behaviors.
  • Exchange stories.
