Walker & Staton also stress that all of the aspects of cultural competency that are understood, should be applied through systems that are sensitive to such needs.
As a quality of empathy, cultural sensitivity is not testable as content, but it can be an expectation of practice in the same sense that integrity or justice can be. The desirable posture for the social worker is one of cultural agnosticism -- not trusting in any particular cultural mold (the social worker's or the client's) to determine what is right, wrong, or ultimately meaningful (Sue, 1998). (Walker & Staton, 2000, p. 449)
As Green would likely attest the definitions of need, appropriate and empathetic are likely to be variant across individual situations and of course across cultures. The idea of teaching multiculturalism as an aspect of social work training then must be significantly sensitive to the idea that though certain things and actions can be expected by individuals and families of a particular culture, they should not be and the only assumptions made should be regarding how the broader society might react to or deal with a culturally diverse individual or family. (Galambos, 2003, p. 3)
The NASW Code of Ethics...provides guidance on multicultural practice. The Code states: "Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures.... [and] should have a knowledge base of their clients' cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive...

Over 250 respondents reported working 40 hours, with the next highest frequency being under 100. Number of Siblings The histogram for the number of siblings shows a negatively skewed data set, with more participants reporting fewer siblings. However, the range in this variable was quite high, ranging from 0 to 22 siblings. The mean response was 3.71 siblings, the median response was 3 siblings and the mode of the sample was
