To cultivate and maintain cultural humility is a challenge for many reasons. Since cultural humility requires the acknowledgment of power imbalances, those who are in such positions of power are called to relinquish it in order to truly understand other’s experiences. This, in sum, is the idea of what humility is in the cultural context. Weidman et al.(2018) explained the dimensions of humility, as researchers are still unsure of what humility really means. On one hand, it is seen in a positive light, as if to possess it is to be good, in some sense. This idea is named as “appreciative humility,” elicited by success and celebrations of others. Arguably, some research reflects on the darker areas of it questioning if some’s use of it is “self-abasing,” meaning the structure of one’s humility may be associated with dispositions of negative self image, shame, and submissiveness (Weidman et al., 2018).
The majority’s idea behind cultural humility’s difficulties in maintenance is by reason of inherent biases, privilege, change, and societal barriers. This is an argument that is well and good, but lacks a very important detail (Weidman et al., 2018). As mentioned above, humility is seen as a quality to be celebrated. Individual’s who utilize it are then awarded with dwelling in morality’s compass. But are they truly?
Well, this depends. Cultural humility claims to be framed in a positive light, attempting to foster open-mindedness. Possible negative associations with it are submission and passivity. Some people do not maintain cultural humility through this explanation. Are they wrong
