and I also think about preparing our young people for a complex intersection of world and the reality is a cultural competence is a skill set that is becoming really important for young people to develop because schools can schools and homes can produce intellectually capable young people but are they called  he had a sense of cultural self-aware like I know this is the way I communicate and this is the way I tend to perceive these are the ways that I engage in conflict excetera because of my identities and experience in perspective and working on cultural intelligence was in my community and who am I living and working and playing with what are there perspectives and ways to communicate and collaborate Etc because of their identities and cultures in it and then cross cultural effect in the skill says now that I can what are the things what are the skills I'm developing so that I can communicate more effectively collaborate more effectively being healthy turn off that difference and oppression through inclusion says the Dynamics of privilege bias in ISM if I find myself at a decision making impact and communities are not represented how do I make sure those perspectives get represented an idea of that perspective at that decision making if I find myself consistently marginalize on the outside what are the ways that I can work with others to make sure that my perspectives and needs and boys can be up imprison so this is work that allows young people to be successful anywhere doing anything consult in front of my Parks as cultural competence is your ability to do your best or with people who are not you  and he doesn't want that kids right so here's the thing so when it comes to Identity it's important to recognize that when it comes to our any development on there are certain predictable or research research identified patterns like the way identity development theory research developed was actually set founded by the work of Erik Erikson who interviewed a bunch of people hundreds of people and said tell me the story of your life periods time periods developmental tasks that were relevant for a lot of people so he developed like certain time critical develop have you performed on you like healthily progressed the next day and you didn't go through them well then oftentimes there was like conflict to self Dows cycle Apple issues ETC tremendously important foundational research in child psychology parenting next cetera unfortunately he only interviewed white men pictures I think I'm in Stryker said now do women experience identity development a little bit differently because of their gender  and so they develop and when they interviewed of what if they did indeed find if there were some variations from the ages of man so they develop the Bingemans right there shows the emotional development for girls and then William prices like wait what about black people how did they experience their identity development differently because they are black or African-American and so he develop the African-American model so who is Helms model of white Etta camels like what about the goalie and casserole as was like what about Bandits football over like every one of them for the same research methodology which means you gather a bunch of people who identify this way and you  and as a researcher is any friends or significant things that seem to be a pretty common thing meaning all models are going to have some use in that enough found this via common experience that it warrants in a particular stage or a nanny that that need but all models are in limited because there's no play a conflation of a bunch of stories I got to reflect people's you need experience  and models tend to be linear crank I like stage 1 is this and Stage 2 is this and it sort of implies that there was a very end goal that you're trying to reach or that there are discrete I don't know about you but I did not do it like a okay I'm about to move into the emergency nor did I stopped at any point is that okay stages at the same time start times when I backtrack there are times when I the context matters I can walk into a room look around and go okay today I'll be in an assimilation okay it really depends and so okay so when it comes to multiple Journeys are happening at the same time remember because you got lots of I when it comes to your marginalized identities and when it comes to our young people's marginalized identities this is what the research implies happens now we start bum play play some Innocents and self-esteem where the message especially at home is this idea of you are beautiful you are wonderful anything you want to set your and he was a young person is like I know you feel good if you love that a firm for exactly who you are and then and a counter that says maybe now maybe you're not so beautiful maybe you're not so normal if you're not too maybe it's a classmate that makes because of that difference maybe it said you watching TV show on you realize people who are from your background are portrayed in ways that are negative so if a team over and over again you start to have the self-doubt as a member of this group I can't access things like opportunity or love or acceptance okay if I self-doubt become strong enough you respond by assimilating to the majority how many as much like the the same as much as possible this is where young people will do things like say I'm going to take on a more and what size say or they're alive stop wearing my ethnic clothes or eating my ethnic foods or speaking my home language this is where they're like my hair or my skin in ways that warm mirrors the US mainstream culture standards of beauty and physical attractiveness this is where cancer gender transgender kids will do things like it's really pretend and like hyper nasty or hyper feminized or like pretend they have crushes on every one of them everyone who's like the opposite sex just so that they can for me as a world was super into math science technology at a time when girls weren't encouraged to do that the way I assimilated was I when did that anything that was girly was like terrible I was pretending to be revolted by the color pink and skirts were like disgusting to me I feel that way because if I did that and the other guys might say all she's not like a regular Pearl and so I would be accepted into this like all boys club what are the assimilation is this notion of I'm going to mirror of the mainstream population as much as  and who sing is there is doing a simulation is like physically and emotionally psychologically exhausting sometimes like financially exhausted I think about for example kids on financial aid who like five a status symbol cell phone or that popular shoe line just so that they can start of the sunlight those are things that they cannot afford but they're doing it honestly getting your hair process till I mirror the mainstream as well as psychological and emotional cost to it sometimes feel like I'm done I'm done I'm tired I don't want to do this anymore please do this for me that happen in like the late 80s early 90s so hopefully this makes sense no matter how much I tease or perm my hair app for speak like a valley girl like people are noticing on Asian I'm done I am going to the say call me by my nickname I'm going to like eat my food I'm going to speak my language I'm not take up space is who I am this is where LGBT kids are like this is who I am and are super flamboyantly coming out like every other day this is going to like hang out with people just like them and short of it can also show up and rejection of a majority group all those people just don't get it right play only once  get our experience and our like clue as we over here and so there's  almost saving pride and identity right and then you do that for a while and at some point okay I recognize that there are members of the majority group who may see me as a stereotype with there are also members of the majority group watch Theses my full humanity and so I can how about I take and trusting relationships across that difference and then integration is where you get to that point of it's an important aspect of who I am but it's no longer ternary listen really early and these drawings are not really avoidable u.s. measuring cultural lets us know we are different almost as soon as we become aware so like for example gender performing boys who love to dance and sing and cry and snuggle and the color pink are told as soon as they enter school or as soon as they're taken out of her I'm from Amira Dove source like go play a sport boys don't do this boys  and so self-esteem because they are starting to get messages about that's not normal right this is where for me like my understanding of what it meant to be an ethnic other happened on my first day of school in the United States Playskool I'm not frantically trying to keep up when I'm not I don't know League of English it's lunch time my mom has cooked meat is delicious home-cooked meal it's Korean food it's awesome and if you haven't tried any data but I'm so excited to open up all my containers and like a lot of faces looking my food like making faces saying what is that that looks disgusting and smells that I can understand English but I knew that that's what was being said but that's how strong those turn all the lids back onto my container and I put not just my food away for the day but anything that would Mark me as an first day of school first day of school
