Much of the success of a group can be attributed to its composition. Group composition encompasses not only the group’s size and treatment focus but also characteristics of diversity such as gender, age, ability, and race and ethnicity. Imagine a group in which all members are of the same ethnicity except for the social worker. Or a group in which half are recent immigrants with limited language proficiency. Or one in which there is a truly diverse representation of cultures. How would each of these scenarios affect group dynamics and functioning? No matter the situation, a social worker must be poised to approach the group from a stance of cultural competence, humility, and sensitivity.
In this Assignment, you examine the influence of culture on group dynamics and how a social worker can intervene with cultural sensitivity.
