Cultural and Ethnic
Considerations
Cultural is a complex whole,
including knowledge, belief, art,
moral, law, custom, and any other
capabilities and habits acquired by
man as a member of society.
It comprises every verbal or
behavioral system that transmits
meaning.
It is learned, shared, and ever-
changing.
It is learned through socialization,
shared by all group members, and
associated with adaptation to the
environment.
Cultural blindness is the attempt
to treat all person fairly by ignoring
differences and acting as though the
differences do not exist.
Can be perceived as insensitivity just
as readily as are stereotyping and
ethnocentrism.
