Purpose of cultural annotated bibliography assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is to specifically speak to course objectives 2, 4, & 5. This assignment serves to facilitate a student’s cultural competence in relation to working with diverse client systems dealing with grief and loss issues.
Choose 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (please choose new articles – articles you have not used for previous assignments) dealing with grief and bereavement based on a variety of religious and cultural perspectives different than your own. Please incorporate articles that outline the full scope of diversity….race, class, gender, religion/spiritual, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic class, physical or mental challenges/disability as they relate to grief and loss and how these differences impact clients and the helping relationship/situation. Example topic areas may include, but are not limited to:
Mexican Americans and grief/loss issues
Lesbian women and grief/loss issues
African Americans and grief/loss issues
Jewish people and grief/loss issues
Being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and grief/loss issues

And, so on.
