Exam 16: Culturally Grounded Social Work and Globalization
What is the difference between Transculturation and Neoculturation?
Transculturation: an identity status produced by globalization that is a blend of multiple cultural sources from across the globe with the individual's original culture.
Neoculturation: the creation of new cultural artifacts through the incorporation of elements of both the traditional and the new cultures that does not require the individual to leave her or his country of origin (social media plays a key role here).
In sum and in your own words, what is the culturally grounded approach to social work?
The culturally grounded approach to social work puts forth a horizontal relationship based on humility and honest exchanges that positions both the practitioner-researcher and the community as the experts. Researchers are always willing to ask questions and think outside their comfort zone. The culturally grounded social worker is aware of how their privilege affects access to the community. The culturally grounded approach recognizes that there are advantages and disadvantages of being "outsiders" and "insiders." In either case, both need to approach the community with humility and self-awareness.
From a distributive justice perspective, globalization can have positive and negative consequences for oppressed communities around the world.
What are three ways to foster a proactive response to globalization among social workers?
People must travel across geographic borders in order to learn and integrate certain aspects of other cultures.
