Question 1
Question Type: True/False
Question: The journey to becoming a competent culturally sensitive counselor in working
with diverse populations is not complex as humans have innate characteristics that are
relatively consistent across cultures with similar hopes and dreams that mark their
humanness.
Answer: : False
Solution: According to the authors, becoming culturally competent in working with
diverse populations is a complex interaction of many dimensions that involves broad
theoretical, conceptual, research, and practice issues. Moreover, the journey will be
filled with obstacles to self-exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural
being, and to understanding the worldview of those who differ from you in race, gender,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other sociodemographic characteristics. The subject
matter in this book and course requires the reader to explore biases and prejudices, a
task that often evokes defensiveness and resistance.
