Welcome to Building Cultural Capital

Greetings and Welcome! We hope that the notion of increasing your comfort level, relating, serving, interacting, working, building with others who are different than you (religion, ethnicity, race, gender, age, politics, etc.) and your curiosity is what brought you here. Our goal is to provide a diversity of information that helps to Build Cultural Capital (Resources) to increase our comfort zones when interacting or responding to others who have differing levels of resource accessibility, viewpoints, ideas and/or beliefs than we do.

We have also added language translation so that we increase the degree of sharing that has been missing from the dialogue. Select your language from the tab on the right side.

Delivered On Administrative Professionals Day at Chesapeake College

The bottom line is that most people tend to fear what they don’t understand. This can include a fear of people, places, technology, food, music, you name it. The fear creates a state of discomfort. The discomfort creates a state of avoidance. The state of avoidance creates isolation.  Isolation creates separation and in the final analysis we do ourselves in under the illusion of separation. We are interdependent upon all life. The culture of greed, or simply put, the ways that we are being and the processes that we have adopted and assimilated are suspect and will not sustain life for all.

A strong part of my motivation is the result of witnessing so many who have chosen to become attached to an identity, a history, a way of being that builds walls and separates them from everyone else to whom they are connected. It may not happen in my lifetime, however, if you understand the level of suffering associated with attachment…you would simply let it go. Let us help. The first word is hello…in whatever language you choose.
