Applying Cultural Capabilities Report - Report Writing

Internal code: MAS5599

Report Writing

Task: It has been argued that cultural capabilities are fundamental to operating effectively in the workplace, community, and the university. Cultural self-awareness, cultural intelligence, and cultural capability are all required for creating safe workspaces. So to complete this task you will be drawing together all of the learning from the unit to show how it is possible to create safe spaces for people.

1. 1. Introduction (approx. 200 words): Briefly explain background, aim and scope of this report. Include the following sub-sections in the introduction.
   2.  Background An orientation to the topic of cultural capability and safe spaces.
   3.  Aim Tell the reader what the report aims to do – i.e. It will provide a summary, description, and analysis of an example of a safe or unsafe space, and will recommend improvements to improve the safety of the space where appropriate.
   4. Scope Explain what the report will focus on, including what video, what particular scenes you will be discussing, and if the example depicts a safe or unsafe space.
   5. Summary and Observations: This section will include two sub-sections.
   6.  Summary of the Video Clip: Include the name of the TV Show or movie, the season and episode if it is a TV show or year released for a movie. Your summary needs to briefly include the following details:
      • the name of the TV show or movie
      • a reference to the multi-media clip that you will choose to illustrate safe (or unsafe) spaces
      • the season and episode if it is a TV show or year released for movie
      • the setting (social, academic or workplace)
      • a general overview of what the scene is about
      • any relevant background information to understand the scene
      • identification of the key characters
      7. Observations: Identify the behaviors and scenarios in the video that are evidence of the cultural safety issues displayed in the video. These observations should confirm your statement in the introduction about whether the space is safe or unsafe.  Some of the things to look for and describe are: physical factors (size and layout of space, position of people in the space), communication factors (body language, voice, words), signs of inclusion or exclusion, and displays of or lack of cultural intelligence. It is a good idea to include a Table to set out your observations.
      • Words used in a table are not counted in the word count.
      • If you use a table, remember that it will need to be introduced, and a number and title provided, as per below.

1. Analysis: 

In this section, you should demonstrate your understanding of the key concepts covered in the unit.
