Hays’s ADDRESSING model includes 10 major factors of cultural difference that are most common in the United States. This model is very helpful for recognizing cultural differences and potential bias.
Think of this assessment as a report you would make in a professional context.
Analyze how the problem described in the case study you selected may unfairly impact members of the populations described in the Introduction to Hays’s ADDRESSING Model document. Initially, you should brainstorm as many such effects as possible that relate to the case you selected.
When you have developed many entries, combine ideas that are similar.
Assess each of your remaining entries in terms of importance:
In what ways is it inequitable?
How great or severe is the effect?
How many people may be affected?
Take care that you do not allow your own biases to minimize your assessments.
Choose the entry that seems to be of greatest importance on the basis of your evaluation, and elaborate on that aspect for your selected case.
