Assalamualaikum & hai,

We learn about issues of  roles of school counselor :

1. Outreach
2. Liaison- connect to school and family
3. Advocate- speaking on behalf of people (community)
4. Consultant- become consultant to leader, teachers and parents
5. Change- agent.

Sir also teaches about several factors that we as counselor need to consider when counseling minority clients. Besides that, we need to practice unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy in our counseling sessions. 

Thank you Sir :D

Assalamualaikum & hai,

Today, we have learnt about Malaysian community. Neither it is secular nor religious.  Is Malaysian secular or religious? What say u? :D

Sir told us that religious could be :

1. The problem
2. Part of problem
3. The solution
4. Part of solution

Counseling Implications : What to expect.

• Circuitous communication
• indirect responses to questions
• client rarely ask questions
• may remain silent
• difficulty to communicate feelings, especially if they are related to family or group
• difficulty to give or receive feedback ( status, unease with negative feedback)
• avoidance of conflict- difficult to express disagreement.

In counseling, we need to take note on the multicultural diversity. As counselor, we need to alert to the culture of our clients. Thus, it is our responsibility to learn more about other cultures.

Assalamualaikum & hai,

Today, our lecturer teaches us about the meaning of culture. According to Sir, culture is divide into two type. The types are hardware and software. Hardware refer to the physical and tangible. Such as, food, clothes, and instruments. While, software is refer to non physical or intangible such as beliefs, custom, values and time perspective. 

Culture is practiced by a group of people which they are having a common beliefs and values.

I already know about the meaning of culture, but it is still new knowledge for me. Thank you Sir :D
