Diverse Populations: Muslim Americans
Muslim Americans are not a large part of the U.S. culture, but their numbers are growing. These are people who moved to America from Muslim countries and kept their religious and cultural beliefs, or people who were born in America and raised with or converted to that religion and set of cultural beliefs. If someone lives in America and considers himself or herself Muslim, he or she is a Muslim American. In the United States, being Muslim is far in the minority, and it is believed that only one percent of the American people identify themselves as Muslim (GhaneaBassiri, 2010). In Georgia that number is even smaller, with estimates of one half of one percent or less (GhaneaBassiri, 2010). Michigan is the state with the highest percentage of Muslims, followed by New Jersey (Smith, 2009). Georgia does not appear anywhere in the list of top states with…...

Subject: Counselling Ethnic Minorities
Counsellors deal with clients from diverse backgrounds, especially in terms of culture, age, gender, ability, sexual orientation, and religious background. Whereas the same counselling approach may be applied to all clients, adaptation is often important (Kottler & Sheppard, 2015). The counsellor must consider the unique background of every client and undertake the necessary modifications to ensure a personalised or culturally-appropriate intervention. Ethnic minorities comprise an especially unique group as far as counselling is concerned. This memo explains how to work with clients from this population. The memo specifically provides and justifies a plan for counselling a client from ethnic minority groups, considers stereotypes and biases that may be encountered in working with the client, and identifies strategies for ensuring cultural sensitivity when working with the client.
Working with clients from ethnic minority populations requires five important things. First, the counsellor must be aware of their own cultural…...

This exists in the military, where quality of service and dedication is more important than one's status as a civilian. Similar haircuts, similar uniforms, and similar duties are a great leveler: while there is a hierarchy, the hierarchy is respected because it is based upon merit, not upon the financial status of one's parents. Rank must be earned, respect cannot be bought.
Perhaps this sense of equanimity is why the fact soldiers must live in such close quarters is tolerated with relative ease. Also, the small spaces we do possess must be kept clean and orderly.

Special Populations
Profession psychology
The future of professional psychology:
The influence of special populations on the field of professional psychology
According to the American Board of Professional Psychology: "It is expected that clinical psychologists will demonstrate sensitivity to and skills in dealing with multicultural/diverse populations....Individual and cultural diversity recognizes the broad scope of such factors as race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, class status, education, religion/spiritual orientation, and other cultural dimension" (Clinical psychology, 2012, ABPP). In other words, the special needs of specific population groups must be taken into consideration when offering care, to ensure that treatment is commensurate and sensitive to the population's needs. The reason for this emphasis on culturally-appropriate care reflects a greater awareness of how not all forms of treatment are appropriate for all population groups within the field, and the degree to which special population needs have and continues to shape the point-of-view of the discipline.

This view is reflected in increasing calls for financial equity among schools, desegregation, mainstreaming, and standardized testing for teachers and students alike; it has been maintained that by providing the same education to all students, schools can equalize social opportunity (Bowman, 1994).
This latter position is typically followed up with the use of a particular curriculum designed to support the approach. In this regard, Bowman suggests that, "Knowledge is thought to exist in the collected wisdom of a canon, and education is the transferral of established wisdom to the learner" (p. 218). Unfortunately, when educators attempt to impose a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum on a diverse study body, there are bound to be problems -- particularly for those students who are already marginalized through language and other socioeconomic constraints.
Furthermore, in many ways, the public schools are unique in that they have been assigned the responsibility of communicating what American society regards as…...

Diversity management: Wegmans
A diverse population of employees that reflects the demographic composition of its customers and the community the organization serves is an essential component of all retail operations. Particularly with regards to a grocery store like Wegmans, the company must be aware of the diverse preferences of customers. As a company that has long prided itself on its 'ethnic' offerings spanning from Lyle's Golden Syrup (British) to Pocky (Japanese), a diverse workforce enables Wegmans to be informed of what products, shopping strategies, and other considerations affect consumers' food buying.
Food selection often has a substantial psychological and social component -- it is not simply based upon price or even taste. Thus intercultural competency as an organization is enhanced by a diverse workforce. This is not to…...

New technology makes telecommuting easier than ever before. However, also due to new technology, the ability of work to impinge upon leisure time has also increased exponentially, raising ethical questions about the extent to which workers can be required to be connected to the office 24-7.
Thirdly, changes in skill requirements demand that workers are more technically capable than ever before, so they can adapt to changes in technology that will likely occur over the duration of their employment. Job specifications are less detailed -- organizations are looking for candidates with a wide variety of capabilities and the flexibility to change. Additionally, employers are looking for strong interpersonal qualities and the ability to work well on a team -- qualities which are even more essential in service-based public works organizations. In one study, nearly three-quarters of employers complained of deficiencies amongst new hires in skills "such as professionalism and work…...

CHIP: Mental Health in the U.S. especially among African American MenAbstractThis Cultural elevant Health Intervention Project (CHIP) addresses the critical issue of mental health among African American men in the United States, a demographic significantly impacted by mental health disparities. The project focuses on the role of culture in shaping perceptions, attitudes, and responses to mental health challenges within this community. African American men often face unique cultural barriers, including stigma, mistrust of healthcare systems, social norms around masculinity, and historical trauma, which deter them from seeking mental health services. The proposed intervention is rooted in cultural understanding and aims to bridge this gap by integrating traditional cultural practices with contemporary mental health approaches. This involves using community-based resources such as faith leaders and peer networks to foster a supportive environment that encourages mental health discussions and reduces stigma. This approach is deemed appropriate due to its direct engagement with…...

To deal with both attrition and ethnicity factors in conjunction with an adolescent or school-aged client, the counselor may be well advised to consider the fact that the client may better benefit from a school counselor's intervention rather than from her own. Studies (for instance Cummings, 2009) have shown that "schools may be the best setting in which to provide mental health services if the objective is to reduce the unmet need for mental health care among adolescents living in disadvantaged and/or ethnically diverse communities." (Cummings, 2009, 1).
At times, the counselor may have to deal with trauma-related matters. Since trauma may traverse several generations and is comprised of complex issues, Goodman and West-Olatuni (2008) recommend a transgenerational trauma recognition and assessment approach as well as historical and contextual knowledge of the trauma.

Book Report: The Population of the UK
Daniel Dorling’s The Population of the UK is based upon the premise that the ways in which maps are conceptualized has a dramatic effect on how citizens perceive their nation. The book depicts different ways to look at maps of the United Kingdom, including in terms of its racial and geographic diversity. “The disadvantage of using a conventional map is that those areas that are home to most people are obscured in comparison to sparsely populated areas that appear to be most prominent” (Dorling, 2012, p.3). This can give greater significance to remote and rural areas and less significance to densely populated and diverse areas which more accurately reflect the real United Kingdom.
While physical topography has generally-accepted notations on most maps, there is no general consensus about how to depict a nation’s social landscape (Dorling, 2012). Population depiction on maps, Dorling makes clear, is…...

Care for Populations
When it comes to the well-being of the overall population, community and public health are both vital areas to consider. However, how the community rallies around its members and how it bands together in times of crisis are not the only kinds of issues that have to be looked at. Those are important, but it is the day-to-day workings of a community that provide more indication as to how it treats the population and whether an overall sense of well-being can be expected. How that same community responds to public health issues is also worthy of consideration. If a community does not take public health seriously, that could be very disastrous for the overall population. Sickness can spread quickly when people are not taking care of themselves and one another.
It also spreads when the people in a community are not focused on the severity of the issues…...

The Role of Cultural Competency in Behavior Analysis: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice
Introduction
Behavior analysis, as a science dedicated to understanding and modifying behavior, has the potential to make significant contributions to improving the lives of individuals and communities. However, the effective application of behavior analysis requires consideration of cultural factors that can influence the behavior of individuals and the efficacy of interventions. This essay explores the importance of cultural competency in behavior analysis and the need to bridge the gap between theory and practice in this regard.
