Assignment
I. Review the situation below and then engage with the community of learners by discussing ONE of the questions that follow:
You have a 4-year-old client named Nathan. Nathan is the third child in the family. He has two older brothers aged 7 and 6. Mom stays at home and homeschools the boys. Other than when he is playing with his brothers and no one else is around, Nathan does not communicate with anyone other than his mother. He will only communicate to her in a whisper. You have been asked to work with Nathan mostly because his mother is getting a lot of pressure from other family members about Nathan's behavior to find out what is wrong with him. As you have been interviewing other members of the family, here are some of the comments that have been made. Nathan's mother: "There's nothing wrong with him. It's just like a little game we play when we whisper back and forth." Nathan's maternal grandmother: "The boy's not normal-why doesn't he talk? I talk to him and talk to him, I ask him what's wrong-I've even bribed him with money just to talk to me, but nothing! He just looks at me and grins, then whispers in his mother's ear!" Nathan's paternal grandmother: That child is spoiled rotten, that's what he is! His mother just pampers him and gives in to him all the time! I had three boys, and I can tell you that none of them were allowed to behave that way! Nathan's father: "Nate's fine. He plays fine with his brothers! I guess I never really noticed he wasn't talking to anyone."

II. Marge and Helen are excited to take a cruise trip together. They have never traveled out of state let alone out of the country. Their friends suggested they learn about the different places they plan to visit by going to the local library for information. They thought they should learn about culture and communication because they want to interact with the people they will meet on and off the ship.
For your initial post this week, respond to one of the following prompts:
A. Defining culture and being able to introduce yourself to a variety of new and diverse people is a skill. What are some ways Marge and Helen can try to meet as many diverse people as possible? Discuss how this element of diversity, equity, and inclusion is applicable to your professional life.
B. If you were on the cruise, how would you introduce yourself to others from a diverse perspective? For example, you might greet individuals in their language rather than your own. Discuss how this element of diversity, equity, and inclusion is applicable to your personal life.
C. Share a link to a scholarly article, video, or website that connects to what you would suggest on how to meet diverse people. Share the link within your post.
