CULTURAL ANALYSIS

In carrying out the qualitative research analysis, I used various qualitative design methods such as the use of questionnaires, interviews, and observation to collect data from different communities or races. For this entire process of data collection, it involved 50 participants from different race and communities. Firstly, the questionnaires were used to collect the data which had both open and closed questions. Through the use of the questionnaires helped in hiding the identity of the person participating thus guaranteeing reliable answers to the questions asked. Furthermore, the participants were also interviewed to explain what are the challenges facing the children at their early ages. There are two types of interviews that were conducted, namely: face-to-face interview and group interview. Moreover, the observation is another data collection method that I used in finding out the challenges facing all children from different communities. According to the findings, they showed that a large number of children are unable to read and there are different solutions that were proposed by the participants. After conducted analysis on the findings, it is shown that there is need to start a youth program which main goal will be helping the children to read since after observation I discovered that most of the children in different are truly do not know how to read. Furthermore, in terms of membership, most of the participants were willing to participate in the youth program and become the members to facilitate the entire process of offering services to the children at their reading level.

The public funding is a unique resource system which does not distribute according to different communities, but it is offered by the state government to facilitate social and economic development (Wilson, 2013). The public funding will aid in facilitating the youth program since it a non-profit group that aims at solving the social problem experienced. This unique resource system will improve the society since it will make sure that the number of children unable to read very well is reduced. This resources system will have a positive impact on the community since it aligns with a plan of government agencies to reform the community or society.

The diversity of the culture can have an effect on the collaboration process because of different values from different communities. In this case, it means that the black community will have its own unique values compared to the Whites. Thus, the way Whites take things may not be the same way Blacks takes things. In addition, there is this issue of superiority and inferiority that may affect the collaboration (Stahl et al., 2010). For instance, Whites may feel are more superior than Blacks. This kind of feeling will ultimately ruin the entire collaboration process. There is no equality during delivery of services to all communities. To sum up, cultural dynamics in some ways might ruin the collaboration process. On the other hand, cultural dynamics will bring many communities on the same platform with different values and beliefs which will be an effective means of ensuring everybody no matter which community one comes from is involved in the program which is helpful to entire state since it will bring all communities together to achieve common objectives. This kind of collaboration will guarantee the success of starting the youth program and making it prosper.
