Instruction
This week you read about counseling American Indian and Asian American clients. You were exposed to the various issues that impact the counseling process for different populations. As part of preparing for this week’s discussion, read your course materials and then watch one of the movies listed in your course Resources section. The file name is Multicultural Films. You can access most of the movies via Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, or any other video source. You can also purchase the movies via Amazon and other vendors.
For this week's discussion forum, respond to the following prompts/questions:
Provide a synopsis of the film you watched and the top three multicultural issues that stood out for you.
Provide specific examples in which the film influences (positively or negatively) perceptions of multicultural issues. Be sure to identify any potential for the movie to promote bias.
Discuss the degree to which the film you watched matches the information you have learned in this course.
Use examples to support your ideas. Be sure to cite your points using the learning resources. You may also use other scholarly literature to support your discussion. Citations and references must be in APA format. See the grading rubric for more information.
Peer Response: Respond to a minimum of 3 peers with substantive responses and support these responses with references. Peer responses must occur on at least 3 separate days. See the grading rubric for more information.
Before responding to your colleagues, watch one of the films on Asian Americans or American Indians. Compare and Contrast the attitudes, beliefs, understandings, and acculturative experiences inherent in these films to those in the main post. Also contribute to the discussion by building on examples or providing your own in relation to their main discussion post.
