Review the concept of culture. While Sociologists and Anthropologists often use this idea at a global level, it has other uses as well. Review the concepts that relate to culture: norms, values, beliefs, ethnocentrism, and cultural relativity. Then, review the mission and history of your agency. Think of your agency as having a "culture”. That is, each agency has its own culture within that is a product of its history. Assess the culture for your agency by indicating the following:The way of life within the agency.The core values or central things that appear to be valued. How the culture influences the way that work is done.
