In our multicultural society we need to learn to live with difference in a constructive way. Difference should not be seen just as a problem but as a potential for growth. Both clients and counsellors bring with them certain cultural attitudes, values, beliefs and behaviours. Societal and political events apply pressures and condition us and through these events we become socialised and learn what is expected of us. We see our roles as fixed and
How have the principles of equality, diversity and anti discriminatory practice been applied to work undertaken? The individuals you work with need to be recognised as separate individualsfrom others, they need to be treated as they are and not compared to otherpeople. Equality is not treating everyone the same way but treating them aswho they are without discriminating against them. Therefore even though the individuals you work with are aggressive andabusive you need to carry out individual risk assessments and not makeassumptions or stereotype them. K2.
SHC21-1.3 - Individuals Reactions. Observing individuals reactions whilst communicating with them is very important as you need to be aware of causing offence to those individuals, which is exactly what you do not wish to do. When you talk to adults or children you must take into account their feelings, opinions, culture and what they would like to say. Be patient and give them time to talk to you about what they are feeling. Always be sensitive and understanding, you may have to adjust or adapt what you want to say by ensuring you say it the right way to convey your message, your feelings or ensure opinions are expressed clearly with no misunderstanding without giving offence to the individual.
3. Just societies are committed to and respect the autonomy of their citizens. C1: Equality of condition requires equal autonomy. C2: An autonomous society is also an egalitarian society. Nielsen states ”I shall argue…that autonomy cannot be widespread or secure in a society which is not egalitarian: where, that is, equality is not also a fundamental value which has an operative role within the society” (Munson 708).
Perhaps more so than Emotivists, Prescriptivists see ethical language as fairly meaningful. They believe that the terms used are able to create absolute rules that everyone ought to follow. It would seem that ethical language is seen by many as very meaningful, although for varying reasons. However agent centred theories such as Virtue Ethics would argue that our main focus of morality should be on becoming as virtuous as possible, rather than deciding what is meant by ethical language. Therefore it would seem that perhaps morality should be more focussed on individuals’ actions rather then defining what is meant by ‘good’ and
Diversity is about acknowledging your prejudices, allowing people to be different and respecting these differences. It is also about challenging others if necessary and speaking up for the individuals you support when they cannot speak up for themselves Equality means everyone is treated as individuals and everyone is treated as equals. Discrimination is a preconceived attitude towards members of a particular group formed only upon the basis of their membership of that group that leads to less favourable or bad treatment of that person. The attitude is often resistant to change even in the light of new information. It is essential that you do not allow your prejudices to influence the way you work with individuals.
Therefore this is saying that they in fact conflict in situations and that they should not but that impartiality should come before our personal ties. However it is not saying we cannot have personal relationship but that only up to a certain point can we extend the love for those. Rachel’s view is not completely nonsense. Its significant point is that impartiality is vital to our understanding of morality and something deeply important we should not give up. Impartiality in morality for e.g.
Some of the challenges that arise when communicating with different cultures are difference in communication styles, attitudes towards conflict, decision-making styles, and approaches on tasks. It is important we accept each and everyone’s differences. Non-verbal communication may be more effective when dealing with different cultures and languages. Effective communication requires special attention and consideration from each party. When cultural barriers exist, one must rely on nonverbal communication to relay the correct message.
Dissoi Logoi contains opposing arguments that can be argued either way. Its relevance to Rhetoric is that it allows us as readers to see that no argument can be made both bad and good, just and unjust, seemly and shameless. In our own minds we know right versus wrong, but not everyone has the same vision of what is right and what is wrong. What is wrong to one can be right to another and vice versa which appeals to the logos aspect of rhetoric. These notion of contradiction within this writing are rhetoric.
William Graham Sumner was another supporter of the laissez-faire idea. Sumner’s writing was a strong example that the government structure should not do anything but create peace. This concept is further backing the idea that government should be remain as small as possible. He writes in Social Classes Owe to Each Other that each social class owes eachother nothing, and that each citizen is entitled to the pursuit of happiness and an equal opportunity in doing so, but not everyone has the right to nor are they entitled to the right. This reflects the laissez-faire argument of what little the government interaction with social classes would
