    AGED CARE AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY

    Our cultural backgrounds, experiences and beliefs can influence our day-to-day behaviour without us even realising it. Within aged care, culture has a major impact on how we work and how we communicate with patients and residents. Often a cultural adjustment needs to take place so that an appropriate and culturally sensitive level of care can be delivered to the aged care client. In this program we investigate what culture is and how we can make our communication relevant in the face of cultural barriers. We also look at different cultural groups and personal cultural history, while also considering individual religious practices and traditions.

    CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND NURSING PRACTICE

    Professional nursing requires a highly sophisticated set of communication skills. Every day, nurses must effectively communicate with people of differing religions, ages, sexes and cultures. To deliver the most appropriate and effective medical treatment to such a broad spectrum of people, nurses must have an understanding of the way different cultures interact. Framed as a discussion forum, this program offers a starting point for training in transcultural nursing. We define culture and multiculturalism in Australia, and discuss the aspects of transcultural nursing, the dangers of cultural conflict, and effective multicultural communication methods.

    EAST & WEST (CULTURE AFFECTS COMMUNICATIONS)

    Through careful studies conducted in the US, UK and East Asia, researchers came to the surprising conclusion that in many aspects, people from the "East" and people from the "West" think in diametrically opposite ways. Scientists determined that cultural differences trump theories that the brain's thought processes operate in much the same manner for all people. As cultures and economies become more interwoven, it is increasingly important to understand these differences and how they might affect communication and negotiations in both social and business settings.

    Part I
    The research in this program focuses on how the East and West view the world. Westerners tend to focus on objects in a scene independently of each other. Easterners view the whole and the interaction between objects. In each instance, different parts of the brain are activated and different conclusions drawn. This effects everyday life such as:
    Language - "More tea?" (West/object) versus "Drink more?" (East/interaction with object)
    Character - "He is mean" (West/individual) versus "He had a bad day"( East/effect of others)


    Part II
    Perspective of self and others is explored. The West is more ego-centric and individualistic, seeing from the observers point of view. The East tends to be retrospective, considering what others think. For example, in the West you would give lots of drink choices, allowing individual choice. In the East it is polite to consider the persons favorite drink and offer that. This perspective leads the West to value the self whereas the East places importance on the group.

    MULTICULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

    America's culture is unique because people from every corner of the globe have contributed to it. The more diverse a culture is, the richer it is. The citizens of the United States must be ready to embrace their country's diversity and to celebrate it. No ethnic, racial, or religious group is superior to any other. To be tolerant and to truly accept that we are all different but equal must be America's goal for the 21st Century. The message conveyed by this video is that we should not fear those who are different from us. Rather, we should seize the opportunity to learn from other people and to enjoy what they can share.

    Learning Objectives:
    1) Students will understand that racism and prejudice are destructive forces that undermine a healthy society.
    2) Students will learn that discrimination can take many forms.
    3) Students will learn that they can broaden their horizons by reaching out to people who come from backgrounds that are different from their own.

    CASHING IN ON CULTURE: INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AND TOURISM

    By Regina Harrison

    Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world, and one of the most important forms of contemporary contact between different cultures. Eco-tourism and "ethnic" tourism, designed specifically to bring affluent and adventurous tourists into remote indigenous communities, are among the fastest-growing types of tourism worldwide.

    This insightful documentary, filmed in the small tropical forest community of Capirona, in Ecuador, serves as an incisive case study of the many issues and potential problems surrounding eco- and ethnic tourism. Those issues are shown to be simultaneously cultural, economic, and environmental, and are complexly intertwined for both indigenous communities and tourists.

    The film interweaves illuminating sequences featuring the Quechua-speaking Capirona Indians, Ecuadorian tour operators, anthropologists and other academics, and college-age American tourists to examine the benefits and negative costs of such tourism to everyone involved. The film focuses in particular on how tourism has changed the lives of members of the indigenous community, which took eight years to decide to admit tourists into their villages.

    The cash flow from tourism that is managed directly by the Indians bypasses the fees normally exacted by travel agencies and tour operators and may be able to sustain the community if revenues are distributed equitably. But how do indigenous communities, in the context of global tourism and business interests, set up and run successful tourist operations without compromising their own cultural traditions and despoiling their environment?

    Reviews
  • "This frank and lucid video is really good. It is sure to generate rich, complex class discussion. Without denying the possibility of a socially responsible tourism, the video bravely and candidly presents the challenges involved. Viewers are required to move beyond both idealistic and cynically resigned positions, and to see themselves in the eyes of others." - Mary Louise Pratt, Prof. Of Latin American Studies, New York Univ.

  • "This film is perfect for teaching about the complexities and contradictions of globalization as experienced on the ground by indigenous people who are themselves cultural and political actors on a local and global stage. It will engage students profoundly in complicated questions which the film persuades you to care about deeply." - Brett Williams, Prof. Of Anthropology, American Univ.
  • "This heartfelt essay on eco-tourism should elicit lively and informed discussion on the ethics, economics, and cultural issues involved, especially for the indigenous peoples." - Pat Aufderheide, Prof. And Director, Center for Social Media, American Univ.

    MANAGING COMMUNICATION IN A MULTICULTURAL WORLD

    Featuring: John Baugh

    Program Highlights
  • Linguistic behaviors as economic commodities.
  • Domestic and global business strategies in a multilingual world.
  • Managing a multicultural workforce.

    Everyone who speaks has an accent. The issue is how far you stray from the standard language of your region or occupation. The subtle but compelling conclusions people reach about you, based on the way you speak, result in profound economic consequences both for yourself and for your organization. Increased awareness of the evolution and importance of language helps you understand the impressions you form of others. Using American English as an example, Dr. Baugh emphasizes the need to build tolerance of variations in dialect and language use.

    Dr. Baugh is a member of the National Science Foundation, and an advisor to Merriam-Webster and the American Heritage College Dictionary. Dr. Baugh has appeared on ABC News, and his research on linguistic profiling has been featured on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition."

    DEALING WITH CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY

    Until quite recently, many Australians in the tourism and hospitality industries prided themselves on expressing their 'Australianess', regardless of the origin or gender of their client. Many tourists were put off by what they saw as our cultural chauvinism. Today, there is much more sensitivity to the needs of people from different cultures, but we still have a long way to go before we achieve 'World's Best Practice'. In this program, we talk to people from a range of countries, as well as senior Sofitel Hotel staff, and people from tourist organisations. Differences and common threads for various cultural groups are summarised. This program will help anyone involved in these demanding industries to improve their understanding, particularly in relation to the four major tourist groups to Australia:
  • Japanese
  • Germans
  • Chinese
  • Americans

    Review
  • "Useful for students in year 12 who are contemplating a job in the industry. Written review points are useful to ensure students understand the main points of each culture." - Maria Bennett, Cathedral School, Mundiubngburra, QLD.

    WORLD OF DIFFERENCES, A: UNDERSTANDING CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION

    By Dane Archer

    When we encounter people from other societies or cultures, we may fail to understand them for many reasons, including differences in language, values, gestures, emotional expression, norms, rituals, rules, expectations, family background, and life experiences. This extraordinary video shows that cross-cultural communication can be successful if we manage to understand the powerful differences that separate people who come from differing cultures.

    The video examines 14 key facets of cross-cultural miscommunication. In each case, the power and subtlety of cultural differences are explored and illustrated. As the video demonstrates, culture can be like a veil that prevents us from understanding those from other societies, and also prevents them from understanding us.

    While some aspects of "culture shock" are predictable, such as language differences, many powerful differences are less obvious, and perhaps therefore even more "culture shocking." Examples include dramatic differences in personal space, patterns of touching, etiquette and ritual, the expression of emotions, ideas about edible and delicious food, gestures, courtship patterns, and parent-child relationships.

    Reviews
  • "An indispensable tool for the instructor who wishes to explain the difficulties inherent in cross-cultural communication. The video is fascinating and is sure to arouse and hold students' interest. Along with previous videos by Prof. Dane Archer, A World of Differences is bound to change the way that nonverbal communication is taught and understood." - Myron Zuckerman, Prof. Of Psychology, University of Rochester

  • "Dane Archer has produced another winner! A World of Differences is a must for teachers of cross-cultural communication. Its entertaining vignettes illustrate the variety of misunderstandings that occur when cultures collide. For my students who plan to study abroad, I advise them to watch Archer's video because it quickly alerts them to both the power and the subtlety of cultural differences." - Lawrence T. White, Professor of Psychology, Beloit College

    CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION

    The Cross-Cultural Communication training program is a powerful tool to train your employees on communication skills for a multicultural organization. You'll empower them to communicate more effectively, master nonverbal communication, and understand what's really being said when communicating across cultures, and clarify the manager role in communication and diversity.

    As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, people increasingly encounter problems when communicating with people from other cultures. This can lead to problems ranging from employee frustration and decreased efficiency, to losing billion dollar deals.

    The Cross-Cultural Communication training program is a lively, engaging dramatization in which you'll observe a manager floundering as she tries to understand her employees and their culture, as she fails to understand the manager role in communication and diversity.

    Benefits of the Cross-Cultural Communication training program include:
  • developing communication skills for a multicultural organization
  • discovering the importance of body language
  • finding out why some cultures might withhold important information
  • realizing how stereotyping can lead to ineffective communcation
