Part of becoming a multiculturally competent counselor requires you to explore your own culture and how it was derived. This assignment will help you examine different aspects of your personal cultural background to help bring awareness of how you developed your current cultural viewpoints.
Create a genogram that identifies the racial or ethnic characteristics and changing worldviews of your family over three to four generations to be used in future assignments in this course. This tool differs from a standard genogram because the focus is on how and when prejudice or bias may be learned.
Download the PowerPoint template at the end of the tutorial to use to build your genogram.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word analysis of your genogram in which you:
- Analyze your family history to determine how you developed your own racial and cultural identity. Describe how you identify yourself when reflecting on your cultural heritage, age, religious affiliation, socioeconomic status, etc.
- Describe the values, beliefs, philosophies, attitudes, or opinions you hold that are similar to your family. Describe how you came to know these values, beliefs, philosophies, attitudes, or opinions. Determine how they compare to those of the dominant culture.
- Describe the effects of your cultural upbringing on your worldview. Include commentary on your views of help-seeking behaviors in yourself and others.
- Explain how learning about your cultural upbringing can affect your effectiveness as a multicultural counselor.
- Describe how you will consider cultural and contextual differences between you and your clients to be an effective multicultural counselor.
- Identify personal biases, limitations, or prejudices held that may hinder your effectiveness as a counselor.
- Summarize your personal strengths or abilities that may positively influence your effectiveness with diverse clients.
- Describe methods for enhancing multicultural competence in counseling.
Support your analysis with research from a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
Submit 1 PowerPoint genogram and 1 Word document of your analysis for your assignment.
Ethnic Genogram and Analysis
Assignment Examples
Assignment Directions
Begin by constructing a genogram of your family. (If you are adopted, fostered, or estranged from your biological family, you may use an example family that you know well to complete this assignment.)
Males are represented by squares, and females are represented by circles. A horizontal line connecting the two indicates a family. Children are placed below the horizontal family line from the oldest to the youngest, left to right.

Assignment Directions
Using the following color guide, fill in the squares or circles based on the race or ethnicity of the individual. Represent individuals of multiple races or ethnicities by dividing the circle or square into as many designations as needed.
| Green: Caucasian | Purple: Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish Origin |
| Blue: American Indian or Alaska Native | Orange: Black or African American |
| Brown: Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander | Light Blue: Asian Indian |
| Pink: Asian | Lavender: Specify Other Race or Ethnicity |
Assignment Directions
Write each person's culturally significant data beside his or her square or circle.
Culturally significant data, in this context, means events or views the person held regarding culture or ethnicity.
Include information on your genogram regarding at least three characteristics or core values for each family member, such as religion or faith, birthplace, nationality, or origin from an urban (city) or rural location.
