VIGNETTE TWO A family from India arrived two days ago and was given an apartment in student housing. When the social worker stopped by their new apartment to see if they were settling in, she was appalled to see them getting ready to light a fire on the living room floor. She scolded chem about burning down the apartment complex. Later she wondered if she had been heard. The members of this family have a limited grasp of English and have no mentors to help them understand how to live in their new culture. VIGNETTE THREE Dr. Sanders, a friend, and professor at the local college brought his new wife to introduce her to me. She is a college librarian in Bangkok. The conversation that occurred was between Dr. Sanders and me. She smiled, mostly looked at him, and did not participate. Even when I asked how she liked our town, he responded. I don't know anything about Thai culture, but I thought maybe she was a submissive wife who was dependent on her husband to make conversation. GROUP QUESTIONS 1. What are the multicultural dimensions of this vignette? 2. Sort out the role that culture, race, and ethnicity play? 3. How does power, oppression, and discrimination relate to the vignette? 4. How does your cultural self and identity influence your understanding of this vignette? 5. What additional cultural information did you wish you had before answering these questions?
