Cultural Diversity Effect: Human Diversity at Risk Populations

The composition of people from different cultures is called cultural diversity. Cultural diversity defines the component of an organization with social connection (Audrey, 2013). The underlying effect of cultural diversity is evident with human diversity at risk populations. The article evaluates the correlation between human services and cultural diversity. The application of the submissions in this article will provide solutions to the challenges of ethnic minorities in the society. The disparity between service providers and quality services lies in their cultural diversity (Donald, Teresita, & Tara, 2012). To organize the study, the authors identified reasons for the analysis.

The main issues and findings

1. Social care workers or human service providers consist of different ethnic background.
2. Ethnic minorities are components of social service providers.
3. The income status of ethnic minorities in the United States is low.
4. The disparity in documenting the population of low-income earners who belong to the minority class is real.
5. Human service providers in the United States recommend equity and fairness among cultural diversity.

The article analyzed the services of non-profit organizations. The challenges of cultural diversity hinder poor families for receiving social services. The stigmatization of cultural differences with the majority affects the distribution of social resources. For example, families from minority population are discouraged from seeking human services. The percentage of human caregivers that belong to the majority contributes to the social problem. The article proposed 9 assumptions to tackle human diversity at risk populations with an emphasis on human service providers.

The relevance of the article in understanding human behavior in social environment

1. We can break the barriers of cultural diversity by understanding the culture of different people. Service delivered is based on cultural diversity. Ethnic minorities such as African Americans or Non-Hispanic Americans think differently about human service providers. For example, human service providers from ethnic minorities can be used for a target population.
2. The American dream is open to all Americans. Marginalization of the minorities hinders the quality of service rendered. All Americans can achieve success, despite their social or cultural diversity.
3. The human service framework must accommodate individuals with specific problems.
4. By understanding family development and parenting, human service providers can tackle a dysfunctional system.
5. Family roots are the backbone of cultural diversity in the United States.
6. Social caregivers must be objective despite their cultural diversity. The challenges of African Americans in white colleges are transferred to the field. Human service providers should be trained to tackle the problems associated with cultural diversity.
7. The stigmatization of a social class should be discouraged. The assumption that a neighborhood is a settlement for ethnic minorities affects the social strata in the US.
8. Quality service can be achieved with professionalism. Health-care workers experience poor turnout during field work because of the challenges of cultural diversity. The situation could be reversed when services are rendered by professionals.
9. Human service organizations can deliver quality services.

The potential relevance of the article in social work practice

The human behavior holds the key to the challenges of cultural diversity. Human service educators must overcome personal differences in the conduct of social services. The gap between cultural diversity in theory and practice must be integrated. We must encourage integration among cultural divides, human behavior and theory models.
