Individual’s Path to Cultural
Competency
Ethnocentricity – This is a state of relying on our own,
and only our own, paradigms based on our cultural
heritage. We view the world through narrow filters, and
we will only accept information that fits our paradigms.
We resist and/or discard others.
Awareness – This is the point at which we begin to
realize that there are things that exist which fall outside
the realm of our cultural paradigms.
Understanding- This is the point at which we are not only
aware that there are things that fall outside our cultural
paradigms, but we see the reason for their existence.
Individual’s Path to Cultural
Competency
Acceptance/Respect - This is when we begin allowing
those from other cultures to just be who they are, and
that it is OKAY for things to not always fit into our
paradigms.
Appreciation/Value- This is the point where we begin
seeing the worth in the things that fall outside our own
cultural paradigms.
Selective Adoption - This is the point at which, we
begin using things that were initially outside our own
cultural paradigms.
Multiculturation- This is when we have begun
integrating our lives with our experiences from a
variety of cultural experiences.
