Cultural Competency
Culture is the shared values, traditions, norms, customs, art, history, folklore, and institutions of a specific group of people.
A fancy definition of cultural competency is “the
willingness and ability to interact respectfully and
effectively with individuals and groups,
acknowledging the common and different elements
of our cultural identities.” The result is words and
actions that recognize, affirm, and value the worth of
individuals and communities and protect and
preserve the dignity of each. “Cultural intelligence” is
another term for cultural competence.
