This assignment is for a Culturally Alert Counseling class. The first culture, within this assignment:

Discuss the Native American culture, specifically males, and what issues a counselor must be culturally sensitive to and what obstacles may be present.

My initial thoughts are you also have to be mindful that the Native American culture is very spiritual, uses sweat lodges to connect with their spirits when they feel "broken" and I believe they rely on their tribal elders for guidance? Also, men face a stigma in mental health seeking patterns, is this the same for Native American males?

Thank you

Que. One of the most recognized aspects of the Shakers is all the rules they seemed to have to follow. Some seemed very important and some seemed insignificant or almost silly. The Shakers had no more cultural rules than we do, we just don’t realize how many rules we are surrounded by daily. For instance, you are supposed to walk on the right side of the hallway, you are supposed to chew with your mouth closed, brush your teeth regularly, females are to sit in a certain way, men avoid standing next to each other at the urinal, and thousands of others. To show you understand how many cultural rules we must follow every day, identify 5 rules in our culture that you are expected to follow that might seem silly or insignificant but none the less are rules for this culture. Do not use any of those listed above.

You are now a certified financial planner who has recently graduated from college. Your parents are helping you to get started in your new business. Since your parents own a midsize company, they decide that IF you can come up with a good retirement plan for the 275 employees that they employ, they will hire you as the financial planner for the business.

They want to make sure that all the employees in the company have some medical benefits as well as income when they retire. Most of these people have worked for your parents since you were a little child and you call many of them "Aunt" or "Uncle”.

What are you going to suggest to your parents? Are 401K's the way to go? What about Roth IRA's? Perhaps some type of stock option? This is a tough question.

Most of the employees (200) are making $65,000 a year right now and have been employed with the company for at least 15 years.

What are you going to suggest? What do you think makes the better plan for these loyal and hardworking employees?

Make sure you cite your references in APA format and response has to be 250 words.
