For DQ4, I want you to tell us why cultural competence is an ethical issue.

As you reflect on this question, it may be beneficial to review the Code of Ethics for Health Educators, Public Health Ethics Resources, and the – Cultural Competence in Health And Human Services found below.  I want you to explain to us why cultural competence should be part of one’s ethical and professional behaviors.
