Lesson 5 – Discussion Question
Now that you are becoming familiar with basic prevention practice and theory
let's examine diversity. There are some easy to apply interventions when
working with differences among: ethnicity, age, gender, etc.
1. What is your first thought on how to address differences between yourself and
those we serve?
2. How do you (would you) process differences in age, gender and/or ethnicity?
3. Is it more important to understand yourself or someone who may differ from
you? Why?
4. Considering the differences among us (e.g., age, ethnicity, gender, religion)
are we more alike or different? Please explain your answer.
5) Where did you stand on the self assessment?
Post your response to the above in the Discussion Board (250 words minimum)
