Correct Answer: 1
Most cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the passage from childhood to adulthood; this practice is a culture universal. However, different cultural groups celebrate this important life event in very different ways. Variations of life passage events such as the bar mitzvah for 13-year-old Jewish boys and the quinceañero party for 15-year-old Hispanic girls are examples of this. Cultural awareness is the conscious and informed recognition of the differences and similarities between varied cultural or ethnic groups. Cultural sensitivity is the respect and appreciation for cultural behaviors based on an understanding of the other person's perspective. Cultural competence is having the knowledge, abilities, and skills to deliver care congruent with the client's cultural beliefs and practices.
