Answer to Question 1

The foundation of cultural competence is an awareness of your own beliefs, values, and attitudes and an understanding that these attributes reflect your own biases and are really just one point of view among many. Without cultural self-awareness, there is a tendency to be ethnocentric, devalue alternative cultural practices, blindly impose your own cultural procedures, and miss seeing opportunities for successful interventions.

Answer to Question 2

False
