Multicultural
Christenson, J. (2010). Multicultural considerations. Counseling Today. 51(10), 28-39.
This article considers the various multicultural populations that are projected to be present in the United States in increasingly larger proportions within the coming years. The article is structured according to the author conducting interviews with six members of the American Counseling Association (Christenson, 2010, p. 28) to discuss some of the most eminent issues related to counseling individuals from a variety of multicultural groups including American Indians, Arab-Americans, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and Latinos/Latinas. There is also one member of the aforementioned group who specifically discusses the ramifications of working within individuals from all of these populations (or some of them), as well as the repercussions of working with those who are categorized into one or more of these groups (including those which may contain some aspect of European-American culture/background).

To that end, it begins by denoting the increasing percentage of the previously mentioned population groups in the near future. Specifically, the article denotes the fact that all of the populations from what have been regarded as historic minority groups are projected to increase by 2050; Latinos are projected to encompass one third of the country's population during this time period while the proportion of the population that is European-American will substantially decline (Christenson, 2010, p. 28). Therefore, the groups that the article includes within multicultural group counseling are highly relevant. Another strength is that the article utilizes interviews with counselors who are of the same ethnic population as that which they are discussing to include an intimate knowledge of cultural and heritage traits as related to counseling. The most salient weakness of this article is that it does not involve any original research of a quantifiable nature. The…
Right to Counsel In the United States, the right to counsel is guaranteed by the 6th Amendment to the Constitution. Right to counsel is the civil right of an accused person to seek the aid of an individual who is an expert in the law of the land. Often when a person finds him or herself in a position where they are a defendant in either a civil or criminal court,
Death Penalty in Michigan There are, at present, 38 states with the death penalty and 12 without (deathpenaltyinfo.org 2004). Michigan is one of the 12. From 1976, there have been 906 executions in the U.S.: 517 were white, 310 blacks; 57 hispanic; and 22, other races. More than 80% of these cases involved white victims, although only 50% of murder victims were white. Case studies on race showed that 96% had
The idea of remaining silent when faced with accusation has historical religious and legal roots. Moses teachings', transformed to written form by the ancient Talmudic law had a complete ban on self-incrimination. The self-incrimination law could not be changed because it was viewed to contravene the natural instinct for survival. The ancient common law rule also had it that confusions must be voluntary. When the right to remain silent was
" Prohibiting "a bill of attainder" means that the U.S. Congress cannot pass a law that considers individual or aggregation blameworthy and later discipline them. Disallowing an ex post facto law implies that the U.S. Congress cannot make any given act a crime after the time the act had been committed. It is doubtful that this applies to a few sections of the Patriot Act. Individuals who monitor the Supreme
Discipleship Counseling, Dr. Neil T. Anderson seeks to integrate Christianity with counseling, and demonstrate to the reader how a Christian focus can make someone a more effective counselor. He disagrees with the approach taken by secular psychology and suggests that only Christian counseling can help people overcome the fact that they are born spiritually dead and can only achieve spiritual life through Christ. Anderson suggests that secular psychology can
ResponsesDameon\\\"Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.\\\" - Proverbs 15:22This quote from the Bible highlights the importance of seeking input from others when making decisions, which is relevant to the discussion of incorporating citizen views in public policy decision-making through survey research. Seeking the opinions and input of many different people can help to ensure that decisions are well-informed and take into account a broad range of
