(This film was directed by Sue Brooks. The two characters are Hiromitsu Tachibana, played by Gotaro Tsunashima and Sandi Edwards, played by Toni Collette).
For the purposes of this task, imagine that Tachibana and Edwards are both employees of XBR Minerals. Edwards is an Australian geologist sent to meet Tachibana, a geologist from XBR Minerals’ joint venture Japanese business partner, at the airport in an isolated desert area. Imagine that this clip is just one example of a wider challenge faced by XBR Minerals in fostering collaboration among their staff.

• produce a report which presents your analysis of the cultural competence issues raised, and uses academic literature and XBR104 content to discuss the perceived problems.
• make sure you address the assessment criteria (see the Task 1 rubric below)

Windshield surveys are systematic observations made from either a moving vehicle or on foot (walking survey) to better understand a community in general and to assess community strengths, resources, and needs. This assessment is designed to assist the nurse traveling around a community based on a geographical area or neighborhood. The survey identifies objective data related to people, places, and social systems. The information is utilized to identify trends, stability, and changes that may affect the health of the individuals living in the community or community as a whole. The Windshield Survey instructions were developed from the assessment tool from Hunt (2013).

Ensure your vehicle or public transportation is safe and/or remains locked. If at any time during your route you feel unsafe, leave the area. You may wish to have another person drive to allow you to make notes safely or utilize public transportation. At times you may wish to leave the vehicle to investigate areas on foot. While doing so maintain your personal safety and perhaps take another person with you.
