Essay Instructions: Engagement Phase: Examination of Self and Others

Focus on examining similarities and differences in engagement strategies with clients. Each student will first conduct self-examination of how he or she would prefer to be engaged in a professional social work relationship as a client, determining what personal and cultural values, beliefs and preferences are held. This will then be contrasted by selecting a hypothetical ?client? who will differ in diversity profile from the student (e.g., racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation or other characteristics)

A similar analysis of the engagement phase with this hypothetical client will be conducted, focusing on cultural values, beliefs, and behaviors that are described in the literature as related to the chosen diversity profile.

Concepts must be supported by the professional literature.

Scenario
***Student is a middle class African American young adult woman from a large city. She is a Democrat Liberal, educated and from a 2 parent household.

***Hypothetical ?client? is middle/low class older white male from rural South Carolina. He is a Republican Conservative, married and retired from a factory job.
