As a university-level ESL teacher, I interact with students from all over the world every day. I am well read in the areas of cultural differences and intercultural communication. Yet recently I have come to realize that I don’t know as much as I could about different cultural groups within my own country, such as African Americans, LGBTQ persons, the elderly, the poor, and so on. I’m in the process of getting a master’s degree in psychology and counseling. As a counselor, I will need to be (and want to be) sensitive to all of these groups.
