America. It is committed to offering executives access to leadership networks and career coaching so they can receive higher jobs and better income in the workplace (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). African Americans and Euro-Americans have similar and different worldviews. They are democratic societies, short term decision makers, arm‘s length communication styles, and they rely on direct communication techniques. Based on the history of the African Americans in the United States, their other views are different then Euro-Americans. Since the African Americans struggled with slavery for so many years they tend to be an ―I‘m controlled‖ culture, whereas Euro Americans are ―I control.‖ African Americans rely on family, and put others before themselves. They have tight-ties with family members, along with other close friends. Euro-Americans are about themselves, and have loose ties with others. African Americans are a play it safe culture, and avoid risk, unlike Euro-Americans. They tend to focus more on what is happening in the present. Euro- Americans deal with time by taking things step-by- step. Economically, African Americans used to be very agricultural, but they are now shifting away from that. Euro-Americans are in a post-industrial economic society (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). African Americans core values are sharing, expressing personal style, being real and genuine, being assertive, expressing feelings, bouncing back, and not trusting. Their value of sharing represents interrelating, interdependence, collectivism, and spirituality. Expressing personal style represents their individuality, and they focus on shapes and patterns. They can recognize patterns better than other cultures. African Americans are real and genuine because they learn the truth from direct experience and can see the good and the bad. They belief that if something bad happens to you, it is because you needed it to learn and grow. They are assertive because they stand up for their personal rights. They have a strong voice and angry verbal arguments. People often see this assertiveness as violence, blaming others, or being a troublemaker. They also express their feelings openly and verbal. They use expressive and direct forms of communication. They negotiate more loudly than others and are very animated. African Americans tend to do better with oral responses than written responses. Other people see this expression as either anger or violence. Another value they have is their ability to bounce back and to be resilient. The revitalization of the African American culture can be shown through the older members. They have been 59
through experiences that the younger generation has not. They are also not trusting with the establishment. This means that they are less willing to trust Euro-Americans. Some will even try to avoid working with them. Many think before they speak because their words might make someone believe in a stereotype. Even though it is hard for them to trust Euro-Americans due to their past, many are taking a slow process a building trust with them (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). African American customs in their community life are centered on the church. The church plays an important role in providing social change for their community. They are leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. They are also helping the underclass break out of poverty. There customs in family life involve their extended families. Their extended family includes people who they consider non-blood relatives. These people are essential to the family. They believe that anyone who has played a parental role in their life is a parent. This can be their actual parents and grandparents, along with others in the community. Their personal relationships involve acquaintances and friends. There acquaintances include co-workers and casual friends. They have four rules that they follow when communicating with their acquaintances. They follow role prescriptions, they are polite, they watch their words, and they support their community members. Their relationship with friends is more intimate than Euro-Americans. They like to discuss school, work, religion, interests, hobbies, and physical condition. They focus on, acknowledging the individual, developing intimacy, being supportive, and appreciating the culture. In the African American culture women are considered sexually assertive and they aren‘t less respectable because of these traits. The men are more direct when they express their sexual interest and women do not get insulted by this (Carr-Ruffino, 2009). The Urban Village Concept is centered on the concept ―It takes a village to raise a child.‖ It is a combination of the African culture and American values. They believe in economic empowerment. They achieve this through networking, mentoring, and cooperative economics. Some African Americans also celebrate Kwanza. Kwanza is used to honor their African heritage. It takes place from December 26 through January 1. It is based on seven principles. These principles are unity, self-determination, 60
