Assignment 2: Cultural Pluralism

A counselor needs to be competent to work with clients from different cultures. However, there are times when cultural differences between the counselor and the client may influence the counseling relationship. For example, suppose a counselor promotes the cause of independence for all people (i.e., an individualistic culture) while the client\’s culture values strong family and community cohesion (i.e., a collectivist culture). In this case, the client\’s values are equivalent to dependency in the eyes of the counselor and can adversely influence counseling outcomes. However, if the counselor possesses the cultural competence necessary to work with the client, he or she is better equipped to manage this discrepancy. When situations such as these arise, the multiculturally competent counselor works from the client\’s unique worldview, being aware of the needs of the client.When potential ethical conflicts occur due to various differences, the counselor faces the challenge of making the appropriate ethical decision to ensure that the rights of his or her client are protected while receiving services. The assignment will explore the role of such cultural influences and help counselors achieve cultural pluralism.

Technology Supporting Business Processes

Over the twentieth century, the ability to process information in terms of labor units has improved by a factor in the order of 1 to 5 trillion. This improvement represents a compounded growth rate of between 30 to 35 percent per year for a century. At the turn of the twentieth century, the mechanical calculator offered a modest productivity increase but the number of workers required to maintain the accounts of a medium-sized business still remained very high. Many tasks would take a large investment in equipment and a significant number of accountants’ weeks to process. A hundred years later, the same tasks can be completed by a standard desktop computer in minutes. The challenge for management has transitioned from a simple reduction in labor requirements to leveraging the increased processing power to develop competitive, efficient, and profitable organizations. With this example in mind, use the assigned readings for this module and respond to the following:By , post your response Explain and justify your position. Write your response in 300–500 words.
