5-1 Discussion: Applicability of Maslow Across Cultures Provide one argument that supports the claim that Maslow's theory of self-actualization is not necessarily applicable across cultures. Reminder:

We talk a lot about bias and how that unconscious bias may affect one's thoughts, feelings and actions. Some of what these teachers may be doing is unconscious. It could be stemmed in bias that they were not even aware they had. However, because their job is what it is that is not an excuse. As someone in the teaching profession, you have to make sure that you are doing all the checks and balances to become aware of any potential bias you may have towards any of your students. In life, this is not the easiest task. It takes a very high level of self-awareness. But it is something that can be taught and it is something that is, in my opinion, 100% necessary. I think if more people were more aware, speaking in a general sense, we may have more empathy and understanding globally.
