In our society there are large groups of people living with the difficulties of racism, profound fear, hopelessness and loss. This makes the area of intercultural counselling increasingly important and relevant. Other mainstream counselling approaches do not give us the opportunity to explore the impact that race and identity has on the counselling process.

I get offended if someone blames something on me during an argument so it makes me shut down and not want to talk to them. I never want to hear that something was my fault or that something I did was a direct result of someone’s anger or frustration. I need to keep in mind that, like our course book says: “Constructive criticism does not condemn or judge but is based on empathy and a SINCERE DESIRE to help someone understand the impact of his or her behavior.” Another thing that was in out course book was to a T exactly what my communication goal was: “Identify the specific emotion you are experiencing as a result of the behavior. Sometimes we can’t describe our emotions because we don’t have the vocabulary to accurately describe what we are feeling.” I think that is a lot of my problem. Maybe I need to research “feelings” and what each feeling means so that I can better describe to someone my emotions?
separate the people from the problem Separating the people from the problem means separating relationship issues (or "people problems") from substantive issues, and dealing with them independently. People problems tend to involve problems of perception, emotion, and communication. Perceptions are important because they define the problem and the solution. While there is an "objective reality," that reality is interpreted differently by different people in different situations.

A possible solution to this limitation is focusing on observed behavior, and correlating the findings with the self-reporting behavior, therefore developing a conclusion that is more in-depth. Furthermore, Article 2 emphasized that other factors can influence self-labeling as a victim in relation to work-place bullying, not just anxiety and anger. In addition, discovering a moderation effect regarding negative acts of violence and self-labeling is hard to discover due to the psychological way an individual may experience an event.

Cultural Relativism, a term used to describe individual’s beliefs that should be accepted in one’s cultural but also can be denied in society. In James Rachels’ essay, “The Challenge of Cultural Relativism”, she brings up varies examples that contradicts with one society’s beliefs to another society. She uses this term and analyzes it different situations proving that it can be controversial at times since no one should have the same thinking process as another person. For example, if you were to take to civilizations of the past and tell them to trade beliefs. They would find it outrages since it would be unorthodox to their teachings.

I believe that this study was not ethical to conduct because it directly harmed another person just to get a statistic and a person would always get hurt based on the fact that human behavior follows normative influence almost every time. A reason for an ethics board to not approve a test like this one could be to just define ethics in itself, and use that explanation for your whole argument.
