Black/African American Communities Cross-Cultural Communication

Cross-Cultural Communication
Create a six-slide PowerPoint presentation (excluding the title, introduction, and reference slides) that can be used before an audience.
In the presentation, address the following:
Evaluate cross-cultural communication as a crucial component of professionalism in the criminal justice field.
Choose one scenario or case study demonstrating the effect ethnicity, gender, culture, and sexual orientation have on interactions with police
officers.
You can find scenarios in your readings or online.
Examples include Sandra Bland, Rodney King, Brandon Teena, Breonna Taylor, Michael Brown, and Carlos Ingram-Lopez.
Once you have identified your case, you will summarize it and identify themes from the course material (i.e., gender discrimination,
stereotyping, communication styles, hate crimes, community-based policing, etc.).
After identifying themes from the course material, think about the way the conduct of others impacted the individuals within your case study.
What ethical issues can you place within your case study? How can those challenges within the criminal justice system be overcome?
This presentation aims to demonstrate your understanding of how a person’s race, culture, gender, and sexual orientation can influence a
situation.
If you are studying a discipline other than criminal justice and wish to tailor your assignment to that discipline, you can contact your instructor for
permission.
