Getting Started

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.1 Corinthians 12:4-6

Consider for a minute the beauty and wonder of God’s love for diversity. God made our world, and the people in it, so diverse and unique! Yet, we are all fashioned in His image. How amazing is our God that He created us in such a diverse and beautiful way!

As social workers, much like as Christians, we value and honor diversity. We see diversity not as something that divides us, but that unites us. We are all diverse, and we are all children of God. As social workers, honoring diversity is essential and is one of the defining features of our profession. Regardless of one’s shape, size, ethnicity, race, gender, socio-economic status, etc…, as social workers, we value our clients’ diversity and their diverse life experiences.

As Christians, we do the same. We recognize that diversity is strength, and is a gift from God.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

• Apply ethical, Christ-like attitudes, values, and worldview appropriate to mezzo social work practice. (PO 1)

This media project is designed to reflect your skills in assessing the communications landscape on a cross-cultural level. This exploration will be the next step of an overall strategy that takes into account proper communication for all audiences, including those with cultural differences.

In this assignment, use the following scenario:

Your company, which makes wine, has just received a multimillion-dollar contract to market its product to the people in the Republic of Georgia. Compose a multimedia presentation of 6 to 8 slides about your wine products. This presentation should demonstrate cross-cultural competency so that your product can be as successful in this foreign country as it is in the United States.

For your presentation, you may use PowerPoint or alternate presentation software. See the articles in this module’s optional resources for guidance on different types of presentation software and how to create a multimedia presentation.
