Don Locke provides a blueprint for multicultural understanding. The roles of teachers and counselors have been expanded to include the consideration of the cultural identities of students and clients. Teachers and counselors have a responsibility to increase their awareness, knowledge, and skills so that all students and clients are taught and counseled with approaches that recognize the influences of cultural group membership. All individuals are, in some respects, like all other individuals. All individuals are, in some respects, like some other individuals as a result of cultural group membership.
All individuals are, in some respects, like no other individuals in that each has some uniqueness.
