REVIEW ON CASE STUDY2
Part A
1. Dolores was developing self-realisation as it has been mentioned in the book authored by
DeVito et al. (2016) was actually influenced due to four different sources. Among those
four sources as they have been mentioned in textbook, self- concept of Dolores is mostly
influenced by Cultural Teachings as well as forms of Self- Evaluations since she started
to seek her journey associated with reconciliation as well as healing after she came to
know about her biological parents. Through the parents, teachers as well as media helps
to instil different values, beliefs as well as ethnicity in which a person is brought up since
her childhood. In this case Dolores was born to her Indian parents as it was told to her
Enoch Cree First Nation however she was in the Catholic family who used to live in
Calgary. The values of ethics as well as culture in which Dolores grew up was entirely
different from that of her and so she didn’t come to know the other half of her life.
2. Cultural sensitivity is basically an attitude in which people show their behaviour in order
to acknowledge various differences in culture. Sensitivity towards culture is basically
important for putting on efforts in order to maintain peace as well as economic growth
and this actually helps to facilitate cross- culture communication (Feng et al., 2016). Judy
told Dolores at the end of the case study as this would have been a sort of barrier for the
child to grow up in that kind of unhealthy environment and she would have been able to
reciprocate her true feelings as she would grow up as they would have been inconsiderate
to her. Here it has been found that ethnocentrism acts as a very big obstruction since
Dolores always takes into account status, culture and beliefs of her biological parents
more superior to that of her adopted parents as because she is not aware of the original
status of her parents.
3. Judy didn’t want to introduce indigenous culture when Dolores was growing up, this fact
can be explained by applying the theories on enculturation. This states that culture usually
