ANSWER: Cultural humility is a lifelong process of learning about other cultures
and building cross-cultural relationships that involves continuous self-

, reflection, empathy, curiosity, and openness to accepting and valuing
ideas that may differ from one's own. Cultural competence, in
contrast, describes efforts to learn about another culture and become
proficient in the knowledge, skills, and practices necessary to work
with individuals from specific groups. The key difference is that
cultural competence suggests achieving expertise about particular
cultural groups, while cultural humility emphasizes ongoing learning
and relationship-building without claiming to be an expert,
recognizing that embedded in cultural competence is a tendency to
judge differences against one's own cultural values, which can lead to
biases and discrimination.
RATIONALE: The response should clearly define both concepts and highlight the
shift from claiming expertise to embracing continuous learning and
self-reflection in cross-cultural relationships.
