Focus: Diversity and Global Cultures (Program and Institutional Learning Objectives)
Bucher (2016) notes that Cultural encapsulation begins at a young age. “It is apparent throughout socialization, the lifelong process
of social interaction that enables us to learn about ourselves and others. We are inclined to make friends with other people who are
like us, or at least that is our assumption. In many cases, we attend schools and live in neighborhoods that are racially and ethnically
segregated. Cultural encapsulation prior to college is one of the major reasons why college life can be such an adjustment. After
living in relatively segregated communities, students tend to become much more aware of their cultural identity when they enter
college.”
During the last 7 weeks, you have explored cases and engaged in stories of diversity from around the globe. We have reviewed issues of
diversity within the workplace and those on the global stage. Based on what you have learned in this course, consider your perspective
regarding diversity leadership, cross-cultural communications, and cultural intelligence.
Below are elements from the course that you must consider before writing your paper:
● REVIEW:
o Taiye Selasi’s “Don’t ask where I’m from, ask where I’m a local” (transcript)
o Hetain Patel’s “Who am I? Think Again” (transcript)
● CONSIDER & ANALYZE:
o The Week 1 through 7 readings and Discussion Boards.
o Previously reviewed perspectives and reflections, including those from Thandie Newton (“Embracing otherness, embracing
myself” – transcript) and Bassam Tariq’s “Beauty and Diversity of Muslim life” (transcript).
Directions: in your 5 to 7 page paper, address the following questions:
● DISCUSS three critical diversity issues as discussed in this course:

leader is important to professional and organizational success? Support your analysis with 2 or more sources, and one or more
specific examples.

o Cultural Intelligence (CQ): What is CQ? What do you agree or disagree that cultural intelligence (CQ) is important to be an

● FORMULATE YOUR VIEWPOINT: Cultural and Global perspectives
o Are cultural differences an important global issue in the workplace? Why or why not?
o Temperaments don’t change but attitudes can. Is being open to differing perspectives, values, beliefs and norms important for
those in leadership roles? Why or why not?
● REFLECTION & CONCLUSION:
o How has your diversity awareness and your consciousness of global perspectives evolved during this course? In what ways?
How has your recent experiences and learnings from this course challenged Cultural encapsulation in your own life??
