For this discussion, refer to the articles you found in your search for this unit’s Studies. In your discussion response, post the articles’ APA citations and a link to them (for Web sources). Then discuss each of the articles with respect to the following:
- Differentiate between culture and ethnicity, referring specifically to the articles you chose. Why is understanding this difference important in curtailing child abuse and neglect?
- Critically analyze multicultural competence in the contexts of these articles and discuss the significance of this competence to addressing issues of child maltreatment.
Discovery – Future Directions
What direction does research need to take to address cross-cultural conflicts in child maltreatment? Referencing this unit’s readings and the results of your research, define a possible future direction for research. Discuss the potential impact of this new direction on the human services practitioner and offer some recommendations. In addition, share at least five questions that need to be explored in future research and explain your reasoning for these questions.
