HSM476 Module2 CSU Ethics & Cultural Competence Option #2: Research Project Proposal: Ethics and Cultural Competence

Draft and submit a brief proposal for your Portfolio Project. The proposal should include the following:

Describe the chosen cultural group (from last week’s assignment).
Describe the purpose of your final research project paper. To do this you must first develop a research question based on an issue and/or theory you wish to explore in relation to the chosen cultural group.
Describe your plan for exploring the research question, issue and/or theory.
Describe your intended outcomes of your research – in other words, what do you hope to achieve by writing this paper? This might be centered on future career goals, answering a question you still have about the field in general, or some other direct application to practice or theory building.
Create an annotated bibliography of five to seven references that you might use in your paper and that are not assigned readings in this course. These sources should discuss, use, or compare and contrast traditional and culturally relevant research methods or practices.

Your reference list should include diverse authors whenever possible and the sources must have been published within the last five years UNLESS you can make case for an older source that is considered a foundational work for the field.

An annotated bibliography presents the bibliographic information for each resource. It provides a one-paragraph summary of the resource along with a statement about how the resource will be used in your paper.

Your well-written proposal should be 2-3 pages in length and formatted according to the APA Requirements. Running head: PROJECT

Description
The chosen group, in this case, is Latino Americans. Notably, they are a group that is
increasing in terms of their population and the amount of economic power that they have
amassed over the years. In terms of their population, they account for around a sixth of the total
population of the US. In the state of Georgia, the population of Latino American has increased
over the years. Notably, the members of this group have occupied different occupations and
hence their contribution to society is immense.
Expected Interaction
In terms of the interaction, coming from the African American community, there are
various ways through which the two groups come together. Apart from the daily interactions, for
instance, a meeting in the streets or in other social places I will most likely interact with Latino
Americans in social activism events. This is because Latino Americans being a minority group in
America are likely to face the same problems as the African American community. Additionally,
I will likely interact with the Latino American when offering social services. This is because
many of the minority communities are in constant need of social services.
The Current level of Knowledge.
For the case of the Latino Americans, I have interacted with them quite extensively. For
instance, in terms of the population I know that they are the largest minority group in the
country. Additionally, there is the fact a sizeable population of Latino Americans have made it to
the country illegally and hence they in most cases face deportation. Also, just like myself from
the African American community, Latino Americans face racial discrimination. Lastly, Latino

Americans are highly dependent on government social services given the fact that they are
minority community.
Interest
My interest in the Latino American community emanates from the goal of finding out the
role that the provision of human services plays in the minority communities in the US. Latino
Americans being the largest minority community present the perfect sample for the study.
Additionally, my interest comes from the fact that there is a huge interaction between the African
American community and the Latino American communities (PRC, 2008). For that reason, my
future goal is to determine if the provision of human services has a different impact on the two
communities.
Justification of the Choice
Latino Americans were the perfect choice for different reasons. For instance, I wanted to
study the impact of human services to the minority community in the US. Latino Americans
being the largest minority groups in the country means that they offered the perfect population
for the study. Also, the choice was optimal since it eliminated the probability of bias in the study.
Being that I am from the African American community, focusing the study on my community
created a loophole for bias. Lastly, I chose this population to determine if, in fact, illegal
migration had increased the burden of providing human services to the Latino American
communities. This is because there are claims that undocumented immigrant burden the
government given the fact that they do not pay taxes.

Implication
The implication of this population to the field of human services will be immense. Firstly,
it will enumerate the impact of human services among the minority communities. Secondly, it
will determine if there is adequate provision of human services to the minority communities.
Lastly, it will determine how the provision of human services in the Latino community can be
improved.

Option #2: Research Project: Study of Culturally Relevant Approaches
Those in the human services field have a responsibility to work with clients in a culturally
competent and ethical manner. To do so, practitioners must develop sensitivity to culturally
relevant research that guides practice.
The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate the differences between traditional research
and culturally relevant research approaches and how each addresses culture and cultural
difference. What is different between these two approaches, and how might these
differences impact the promotion of social justice in the delivery of human services?
Directions:
Identify a theory or theoretical perspective that offers insight or explanation regarding
your chosen cultural group. (See the Week 2 folder, Critical Thinking Assignment, for
more information about the cultural group selection.)
Apply the selected theory/theoretical perspective and conduct literature-based research
that discusses, uses, or compares and contrasts traditional and culturally relevant research
methods or practices. Your literature-based research must result in five to seven scholarly
sources that represent diverse authors and reflect current issues in the human services
field, have been published within the past five years, and are not assigned readings in this
course. (You may use the sources you generated during the Week 3 Critical Thinking
Assignment. See the Week 3 folder, Critical Thinking Assignment, for more information.)
Remember that the CSU-Global Library is a good place to find your sources. Incorporate
your sources you choose into your final paper.
The body of your paper will evaluate and integrate discussion and conclusions on:
traditional vs. culturally relevant research methods or practices
your chosen cultural group for this project
the information from your agency interview.
Address the following:
•
•
What is the analysis and description of traditional research you found in your
research, including in your interview?
What is the analysis and description of culturally relevant research you found in
your research, including in your interview?
•
•
•
•
Evaluate the key differences between traditional research and culturally relevant
research and how these affect the cultural group you are exploring.
Discuss the relationship of culturally relevant research for the promotion of social
justice and ethical practice for the group you are studying.
Offer conclusions drawn from your research, explaining how the culturally relevant
research plays out in practice and how your research and analysis will help you
make decisions about your own cultural competence.
Your research project will be a ten- to fifteen-page paper (not counting the cover
page, table of contents, and reference page that you must include). Ensure that your
paper is formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA
Requirements. Links to an external site.
Your paper must include the following:
Cover page
Table of contents
An introduction
The body that addresses the guidelines above
A conclusion section that draws the work together and discusses application of theory to
practice
Reference page.
