What to do for this project? Well here are the instructions and please let me know if you have any questions at all. Now, let us begin the assignment by defining what you need to know and giving you some information.
Social Responsibility includes:
Intercultural competence, knowledge of civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and global communities, including the workplace. These skills are rated highest as desirable skills among hiring managers.
Intercultural Competence includes:
- Knowledge of your own culture and how it has shaped your world view.
- Knowledge of significant characteristics of other cultures.
- Awareness of differences and similarities in cultures.
- Ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture.
How do we continuously improve our intercultural competence? First, by understanding that intercultural competence is complex, and it requires growing and maturing in three areas: mind set, heart set, and skill set.
Mindset is the domain whereas we learn and engage with others, we recognize similarities and differences. A growth mind set requires self-awareness and cultural awareness.
Heart set is the domain where we learn to acknowledge, appreciate, and accept cultural differences. There are six dimensions to your heart set:
- Self esteem
- Self-monitoring
- Empathy
- Open mindedness
- Reserved judgment
- Social relaxation
- Listening
Skill set involves our intercultural agility; the ability to adjust your actions to successfully interact with someone of another culture. Specific skills include message skills, appropriate self-disclosure, behavioral flexibility, and interaction management.
First, watch the following 4 videos to give you more knowledge about our subject area.

- Identifying actions, you will take as a citizen to address the pertinent issues within your community.
Engagement in a community includes:
- Describing effective participation in civic engagement activities.
- Understanding the purpose and benefits of your engagement in the community.
Intercultural Competence (3 Parts) Second, do the following 4 Parts: PART I
- Explore different cultures represented at Mountain View College (e.g. visit the MVC International Center).
- Define your culture. Include display rules (e.g., culturally accepted ways of communicating with others in your culture).
- Discuss and record the things that you love about your culture. How has your culture shaped your identity and how you feel about your place in the world?
- Discuss the misperceptions about your culture – what bothers you the most?
- Discuss the contributions your culture has made to the community, state, country, and the world. Write about a specific psychologist from your culture. Describe his/her area of research and contributions to psychology (requires research).
PART II
- Engage with a person from a culture that is different from yours, and about which you know very little. This person is your “culture” partner.
- Before you sit down to talk to your partner, honestly reflect on and record perceptions that you have about this culture.
- Allow your partner to discuss his/her culture in detail. Record what your partner says, including display rules.
- Listen to and record what your partner loves about his/her culture.
- Listen to and record the misperceptions about your partner’s culture – what bothers your partner the most? Did you believe any of these misperceptions?
- Listen to and record the contributions that your partner’s culture has made to the community, state, country, or the world, including a psychologist. Record the person or group your partner tells you about.
PART III
- After reflection on the experience, summarize your encounter in essay form. How to write up and turn this in starts on page 5 below.
- Include a discussion that compare and contrast the two cultures (yours and your partner’s).
- As you learned about your partner’s culture, discuss any emotions/feelings you may have experienced. Did your perspective change? How? What psychological factors (e.g.,
stereotyping, perceptions, schemas, prejudice, “us vs them,” ignorance, motivation, personality) may have influenced your encounter, or could influence an encounter between people from your two cultures?
- How did you adjust your actions to successfully interact with your partner?
Civic Engagement PART IV: Partner Collaboration (If your partner is someone in class, each partner will turn in an individual project)
- With your “culture” partner, choose an issue that affects both of your cultures at a local, national, or global level. Define the issue and community (some examples: food insecurity, access to health care, access to education, immigration, LGBTQ, gender equity, racial equity, white privilege, climate change, housing availability, poverty, stress, mental illness, discrimination).
When analyzed with a lens of civic responsibility (see definition above), discuss what responsibility exists to address this issue.
- Discuss the important and relevant issues that need to be addressed within the issue and “community” that you have chosen to focus on?
- Discuss how one can effectively participate in civic engagement activities to address this issue? What already exists? What can be developed?
- Discuss how your personal involvement could benefit you and addressing this issue?
- Bonus: Actively engage in an event or activity that is related to the issue you chose. Discuss the experience.
Definitions of words in the above instructions: Explore – research, engageReflect – think deeply and honestly. Can also mean reflecting back to your partner what you heard him/her say.Discuss – engage in a conversation with your partner. Also, when writing about the experience, be clear, accurate, precise, relevant, significant, in-depth, logical, and fair. Record – Write down (see Discuss)Research – Read, study, and provide evidence-based information (not your opinion). Include references and citations. Listen – pay attention to what your partner is saying. Suspend judgment, be empathetic and open-minded.
