A study published several years ago found that clients who perceive themselves as racial minorities expected to be negatively evaluated by the public systems that serve them. They expected to be looked down upon and discriminated against, to have their background and culture misunderstood (Williams, 1997).When we overlook culture or when we do not understand what is normal in the context of the culture, we can make harmful decisions. We limit our ability to engage families and communities and build on their strengths (Williams, 1997).Cultural competence allows social workers to feel comfortable and be effective in their interactions with families whose cultures are different from their own. It enables families to feel good about their interactions with their social worker, and it allows the two parties to accomplish their goals (Brislin, Cushner Cherrie & Young, 1986).If you are white or of Anglo-European descent, you are part of the dominant U.S. Culture. You are part of a group whose culture, customs, and habits have shaped society more than any other (Lynch, 1992). Consciously or unconsciously, you may feel that the "white way" is the right way. It is important to examine this sort of thinking when working with people of other cultures, as it can alienate your clients and decrease positive outcomes.It does not help a client when a social worker views his or her own worldview as correct and the client 's view as problematic or pathological. Helping the client "give up" those aspects of cultural heritage that cause anxiety in the worker can hurt the client (Harper & Lantz, 1996).
