• Analyze a recent conversation you had with a person of a different culture. Or, if you haven't had this type of conversation recently, find a video clip online that focuses on people from different cultures communicating and analyze the clip.

• Provide a brief synopsis of the conversation-what was the general content and context?

• Describe how you greeted this person. Did you greet this person with a kiss, a handshake, or some other cultural mannerism? Was there additional touching or no touching at all?

• Describe your physical proximity. How far were you standing from each other? What if any body language was evident? Did you maintain eye contact?

• Describe the physical characteristics that might be evident. What were you wearing? Were you dressed in casuals or in business attire? Describe what the other person was wearing. How might the apparel make a difference in the conversation?

• Describe the protocol for the conversation. Did you take turns talking, or did you both talk at the same time? How did you refer to each other? Do you feel like you had equal time to express yourself? Why or why not?

• Did the physical setting impact what was discussed? What did you talk about? How was the conversation brought to a close? What happened at the end?

• How might your own cultural affiliation have impacted this conversation? Do an analysis using support from scholarly sources.
Paper 2 Assignment 2: Interview a Human Service Professional

In this assignment, you will explore the extent of training and education a chosen health care provider has in listening skills. You can compare your findings with those of your classmates to see the differences that may exist between different professional groups. You may be surprised by the results that you find.

Tasks:

For this assignment, you are to conduct a thirty-minute interview (an ideal interview would be in person or via the telephone, but an e-mail or chat-based interview is also acceptable) with a human service professional (for example, a social worker, community-organizational professional, or a counselor). The focus of the interview should be on the person's training and education in listening skills. Ask questions to determine whether he or she has had formal training in listening as well as what specific strategies he or she uses to effectively listen to patients or clients.

In addition to your interview, use your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet to conduct research on how listening skills impact and are critical to a client-patient relationship.

Submission Details:

• Prepare a 3- page paper. Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature.
