Culture is....

  • A learned, shared system of values.
  • A world-view, developed as a system for

surviving.

  • A world of assumptions. “How we do things

around here.” “How business is done here.”

  • What we talk about or don’t talk about, how

words are used, and what they mean.

  • Culture can be national, regional, ethnic,

linguistic, generational, gender, profession, (dis)ability, corporate.

The culture iceberg

  • What you can see or hear - obvious to

the casual observer. How we look, dress, act. Art, traditions etc.

  • Unspoken but accessible. Social

rules, core values to live, work,

  • socialize. Social interaction. Facial

expressions and eye contact.

  • Language. Tempo of work. Beauty.
  • Subconscious. Deep, learned beliefs.

What is good, right, desirable, and

  • acceptable. What is bad, wrong,

undesirable, and unacceptable.

Cultural Fluency

  • The other guy sees things differently
  • We tend to think that others share our assumptions.
  • Cultural fluency is a deep, persistent awareness of the

many ways in which others have different world-views, beliefs and behaviors, attitudes, values, and practices.

  • Cultural fluency is a continual anticipation of differentness,

and a constant readiness to accept differentness as different (not right or wrong).

slide-15
SLIDE 15

The challenge?

For justice to be done, in a world of differentness. For justice to be seen to be done, for a growing percentage of the population. For justice to be experienced as done. (Restoration of some sense of completeness etc.) In an ever-increasingly multi-cultural and diverse nation.
