Cultural Competency/Diversity

Celebrating diversity is one thing; cultural competency is something different. 

Developing cultural competence includes examining our own worldview and biases and developing the willingness to learn and be educated from a different point of view.  In addition, it involves examining our societal rituals, roles, and values with the acknowledgment that other people have diverse ways of thinking, doing, and believing.
