Cultural competence in the frame of ethics calls clinicians to have a working knowledge of diverse backgrounds while also allowing the clients knowledge of their personal experience to guide your interventions and interactions with them as individuals. Cultural competence in policy and practice also calls social workers to seek to understand the ways that oppression and power affect diverse…

In this paper I shall try to explain myself on how I feel on the different topics of perceptions, attitudes, biases, and beliefs of culturally different groups to include other areas of my reactions to knowledge about values, practices, and experiences of individuals who are culturally different from me.
