This learning component provides interns with insight into the dynamics of black culture and the ghetto cycle syndrome, develops positive attitudes toward black people and black culture as reflected in the behaviors of black people, and relates this knowledge and information to the understanding of other cultures. Activities within the component emphasize the black family, eco-political systems, discrimination against black people, human demoralization, and untapped resources. Two modules are presented, culture and the black family, with learning activities bibliographies, and flow charts. (MJM)
