836 Words4 Pages

Equality. Independence. Hard work. These qualities personify the United States and indicate the individualistic nature I grew up in. However, Thailand differs when it comes to cultural values and the purpose of them. Class materials detailed Thai cultural values as: impermanence, status and hierarchy, kreng jai, riab roy, jai yen and sanook.

    As I listened to the Riverbend scenario I thought of my own cultural competence and how at one time I knew very little of the Hmong culture. Working in a city where Asians make up only 3% of the population, this is a population I knew little about. I have learned that most Hmong are from the mountainous region of Laos, and are granted preferred refugee status by the U.S. (Cobb, 2010).

Even though the Hmong people seem to be prospering after thirty years in the U.S., there are still challenges with communication, understanding of cultural beliefs, and use of traditional medical practices (United States Census Bureau, 2013)
