Submit a 1- to 2-page critical reflection in which you respond to the following: Describe a person you interact with on a regular basis who: Does not share your cultural background Challenges your assumptions or beliefs and/or subscribes to beliefs you may not hold (Some possibilities are a colleague, acquaintance, family member, someone in a service or retail position for an establishment you frequent, or a member of the public you serve in your job.) Identify the challenges that you have faced in connecting and creating a relationship with this person. What steps do you need to take to overcome these challenges and develop an authentic relationship with this person? Do you think this person wants/would welcome developing a more connected relationship with you? What disadvantages might there be for them in forging a closer relationship with you? Considering your professional role, how will you create a cultural “third space,” as described by Abumrad, when interacting with people who are different from you? What are the advantages of cultivating professional relationships with others outside your culture in this way? Reference the Learning Resources to enrich your reflection. References: Dolan, T.
