    Description
    An exploration of the dynamics involved in the development of the individual who is in search of identity and self-discovery. An examination of one’s value and belief system will be studied and compared and contrasted with other American subcultures. Emphasis will also be placed on the role of cultural traditions and practices as well as a set of life skills that will serve to empower one’s identity and understanding of self within a multicultural society. Examples of life skills include coping with the physiological effects of stress and anxiety, communicating effectively with multicultural groups, goal setting, emotional development, problem solving, critical thinking skills, and self-esteem.
