summary Research on Race/Ethnicity and Health Care Discrimination: Where We Are and Where We Need to Go

disparities in health observed for racial/ethnic minority populations.   However, often little information or consideration is given to the social history and current social climate that is responsible for racial/ethnic socioeconomic disparities, namely, the role of racism/racial discrimination. The research on health disparities has focused on the relationship between demographic/clinical characteristics and health outcomes in main-effects multivariate models. This article explores the effect of targeted marketing of harmful products and environmental justice is also discussed as they relate to racial/ethnic disparities in health. Her study revolves around the Racial/ethnic disparities in health are the result of a combination of social factors that influence exposure to risk factors, health behavior and access to and receipt of appropriate care. This article I found will help my paper delivery the views of literature that has been conducted on the role that discrimination in education, housing, employment, the judicial system and the healthcare system plays in the origination without being bias.

Precis Research on Race/Ethnicity and Health Care Discrimination: Where We Are and Where We Need to Go


Shavers have done research with a 2008 nationwide Gallup Poll conducted June 5–6, 2008, 56% of those surveyed agreed that racism against African Americans was widespread. Data from the National Latino and Asian American Study show that 30% of Latinos perceived that they had been discriminated against. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biases, stereotypes and prejudices prevalent in the general community held by our medical or other institutions. The research was focus on the year 2008 United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) urged then President George W. Bush’s administration to “take effective actions to end racist practices against minorities in the United States in areas of criminal justice, housing, healthcare and education. Through this study this help the author develop an understanding the awareness of racial/ethnic disparities in access to care, receipt of treatment, health status, and health outcomes. This research will help my paper because it provides meaningful data and insight number of factors are posited to underlie these disparities including socioeconomic status, lack of health care knowledge, cultural beliefs and preferences, and racial/ethnicity-based discrimination

Summary Aversive Racism and Medical Interactions with Black Patients


In the article, “Aversive Racism and Medical Interactions with Black Patients “by Louis A. Penner, John F. Dovidio, Tessa V. West and etc. The argument of the scholarly article dialogs how racism in the medical field between black and nonblack patients are less helpful and creative than the same race getting help in the healthcare. According to the authors approximately 75% of all medical interactions for Black patients in the US are “racially discordant” that is, they involve nonblack health care providers. Moreover, relative to racially concordant medical interactions, racially discordant interactions are characterized by less patient trust, less positive affect, fewer attempts at relationship building, and less joint decision-making. Although provider bias has been proposed as a contributor to such outcomes in racially discordant interactions, it has not, as far as we know, been directly investigated. Therefore, more often it is not always reported. The question is how these problems can be approached to help reduce aversive racism. So, according to “Aversive Racism and Medical Interactions with Black Patients,” there are mixed messages conveyed by aversive racists during interracial interactions can interfere with effective social coordination and jointly affect Blacks and nonblack’ abilities to work together successfully. For example, dyads consisting of a black participant and a white aversive racist performed less effectively than dyads involving blacks with whites who had in agreement with explicit and implicit attitudes and ironically, even those with high explicit and high implicit bias.


Precis Aversive Racism and Medical Interactions with Black Patients


In their article, “Aversive Racism and Medical Interactions with Black Patients: A medical interactions between black patients and nonblack physicians are usually less positive and productive than same-race interaction Louis A. Penner, John F. Dovidio, Tessa V. West and etc., investigated the role that physician explicit and implicit biases play in shaping physician and patient reactions in racially discordant medical interactions. They hypothesized that whereas physicians’ explicit bias would predict their own reactions, physicians’ implicit bias, in combination with physician explicit (self-reported) bias, would predict patients’ reactions. They had done a study that predicted that patients would react most negatively when their physician fit the profile of an aversive racist. The theory of the study showed the effects of explicit bias on physicians’ reactions were partially supported. However the black patients had less positive reactions to medical interactions with physicians relatively low.

Summary Racism in Healthcare: Its Relationship to Shared Decision-Making and Health Disparities


In their article, “Racism in Healthcare: Its Relationship to Shared Decision-Making and Health Disparities: a response to Bradby,” Monica E. Peek, Angela Odoms-Young, PhD, Michael T Quinn conducted a study to point out the important questions about racism, patient/provider communication is U.S. health disparities. According to “Racism in Healthcare,” “There are three levels of racism: institutionalized racism, personally-mediated racism and internalized racism. Institutionalized racism, defined as differential access to goods, services, and opportunities by race, includes differential access to health insurance, which study participants described as a contributing factor to communication disparities between African-Americans and their physicians. It is imperative to note that institutional racism does not require personal bias commonly associated with term ‘racism.’ This type of racism, termed personally-mediated racism, is defined as prejudice. After going through the study, there were significant developments in these areas, with Prejudice and discrimination that may manifest as disrespect, poor service and failure to communicate options, all of which our study participants described in their experiences within the U.S. healthcare system. They attributed differential physician assumptions and behaviors (“they just talk right at the patient because they are black”) specifically to being African-American, indicating participants’ perceived influence of race on patient/physician encounters. There were studies that indicated the Healthcare providers may harbor racial biases personally mediated racism, and may be at increased risk of using stereotypes as cognitive short-cuts because of clinical encounter characteristics time pressure, high cognitive demand, limited resources and uncertainty. There is evidence that physicians hold stereotypes based on patient characteristics (race), which may influence their interpretation of patient behaviors and symptoms, and consequently their clinical decisions. For example, one study found that physicians were more likely, after controlling for confounding variables, to rate their African-American patients as less educated, less intelligent, more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, and less likely to adhere to treatment documented the association between implicit physician bias and racial disparities in treatment. 

Precis Racism in Healthcare: Its Relationship to Shared Decision-Making and Health Disparities


In her article, “Racism in Healthcare: Its Relationship to Shared Decision-Making and Health Disparities: a response to Bradby,” Monica E. Peek, Angela Odoms-Young, PhD, Michael T recognizes that the important questions about racism, patient/provider communication is U.S. health disparities. In her article, she shows the conceptualize racism in healthcare and evidence for racism in the current U.S. healthcare system. In order to get her argument across, she shows disentangle racial discrimination from discrimination based on other social factors. Since “Racism in Healthcare” is a revolving is there evidence that link the patient/provider relationship and communication disparities to population-level health disparities. Are there potentially effective solutions to address institutional racism, particularly unconscious provider bias?

Working Thesis


Racism is one of the world’s foremost known issues throughout world’s history. Many people are not aware of how much racism still exists in our health care faculties. There have been a lot of problems concerning healthcare discrimination because it hasn’t only been towards the socioeconomic status, but also towards race.

Summary Race and Micro aggression in Nursing Knowledge Development

In the article, “Race and Micro aggression in Nursing Knowledge Development “by Joanna Hall I believe the argument of the scholarly article talks about how racism in the nursing scoop has became more of a spectrum and that a micro aggression has been elevated to better understand why racism is into the medical field. According to Hall the micro aggression Policy changes, diversity programs, and new organizational frameworks can be useful in decreasing discrimination in a general way, though enforcement of these changes also depends ultimately on individuals within structures and how they interact with POC and make decisions about specific cases. Interpersonal racism can be overt, such as name-calling and bullying. More often in contemporary environments, it is subtle and oblique, especially in language and nonverbal behavior of white people.  It talks about how they should revaluate what cause racial slurs throughout the work place. Is it the ethnicity that causes a big riot? How can we as the people fix this problem? What steps should go into revising racism throughout the medical field. Why do some many people get look upon if they don’t have good insurance if your skin color different or if you can barely speak English but trying to receive medical attention in today’s medical field. The main question is how to truthfully enforce methods to stop racism.  According to Hall we recognize that race and racism are embedded in language and that as maintain a postmodern perspective might best be used to untangle the sociolinguistics involved in constructing these terms. We suggest consulting for further exploration of language and race in nursing. In this article, the term people of color (POC) is inclusive of many ethnic groups who have characteristic skin colors including red, yellow, brown, black, and white, but it is a problematic term because it is usually based on the presumption that white people have no color, and that they are still the referent group to which others are compared

Precis "Race and Micro aggression in Nursing Knowledge Development

In his article "Race and Micro aggression in Nursing Knowledge Development” (2012), Hall asserts that race is a social environmental element in many nursing knowledge contexts. She explores how race and racism have been concept in nursing research and theory, situating these issues in the debate between Critical Race Theory and post racialism. Contemporarily, racism is more subtle than overt. Hall supports there facts with Subtle racism takes the form of micro aggressions in everyday discourse and practices by whites toward African Americans. This occurs with little to no awareness on the part of whites. Using this concept, practice and education are explored. Her purpose is to inform America that we hold that micro aggression contribute to stress for the target person, which may partly account for racial health disparities.

MWP 2 Rough Draft- Outline

Introductions:
Teen pregnancy is a problem that allies in the youth of the younger generations to the next generation to come. Their idea of having a child as a teenage has become somewhat of a trend. This problem affects a numerous of areas worldwide. This is currently hurting our society since it has become fairly a social epidemic; it is hurting is the hard working people who pay taxes while the adolescent lives on assistants. Many people don’t truly comprehend how the growing numbers of youth having children is affecting the economy.
Thesis:            
While having sex teenagers don’t think about the consequences and outcomes they risk while having unprotected sex. To help decrease the rate of adolescents having kids, the government should enforce more teen sex programs, clinics and child education classes in schools. In order to prevent teen pregnancy they should included work study at a daycare to gain knowledge  with  the experiences of the time and effort it takes to raise a child the government should require that teens must stay in school in order to receive any kind of assistant.

Definitions:
Teen pregnancy refers to pregnancy in a female under the age of 20. Teen pregnancy depends on a number of societal and personal factors.

Argument/Analysis
Through my research I have determined that there are extensive variations of reason of teen pregnancy.  But it is obvious that the only actual answer to the problem will be getting the whole world involved and making sure that teens are educated to the fullest about teen pregnancy and not just sexual transmitted disease. It is also going to be essential for the parents to arrange for their teenager to be involved in every activity that offer programs to teach against teen pregnancy. Each author supported their claims with statistics and data that established the ways in which teen pregnancy is initiated and the ways in which authority figures need knowledge about adolescent’s getting pregnant early.

Conclusion 
To help reduce the rate of teen pregnancy, educating parents as well as the children will be vital, more clients, sex education class should be reincorporated. Parents are essential part if their teenager's so the things that the parent require might have a better effect on the child having a child in their teens.  It will be necessary to have a combination of support from the parents, the school districts, and the government in order decreases the rate of teen pregnancy.

MWP 2 Problems

The problem allies in the youth of the younger generations and generation to come that having a baby while you are a teenage is cool. The idea that they can keep a guy if they have their child or that they can do it by themselves is absurt.This problem affects a numerous of areas and the United States currently. The people that this epic medic is hurting are the hard people who pay taxes for their child can be on some kind of state assistants. Many people don’t truly comprehend how the growing teacher number of adolescences having children is affecting the economy. The cause of the problem is that us as the guardian or authority figure around that child is not truly teaching how this kid will affect their lives. That they will have to depend on government assistants to live because they’re not older enough to get a job or how they are causing the society around to pay higher tax’s just to suppose the government assistant that they depending on.  People now are comparing the number ratio of young girls having kids to the 1950’s when they said it was baby boomer season. Though some school have added classes to improve the knowledge to the youth that having a kid isn’t easy it still haven’t improve the rate of a teenager having a baby before graduating out of high school. Parent Parenthood and other agencies are starting to suggest more to young girls is the option to have some family that ready for a child to adopt. Communities have not succeed in helping teen girls from getting pregnant so young because the world as people see it today is a child helps you get money and help from the government. Also it is easier for the girl to blame the guy for keeping the child because all the promise he made her before he actually slept with her. In the future are we as a nation hoping that the problem become little more resolved and decrease the rate of high school dropout, or a child or receiving government assistant because the parents are too young to work? The country in a descending outlet and assistant is become harder to receive because so many people are abusing the system.

The Shame of College Sports

“The Shame of College Sports”by Taylor Branch College sports been around for a really long time and dealing with NCAA policy. NCAA have had so many issues dealing with athletes been bought or getting reward for being great at a sport. With examples of how athletes are use to make money for there schools and used in different departments or the video games they appear in and the comoerical that are produces. He gives an example about how they make some much money off these students and they don't receive any pay. Asking how is it that they bring so much revenue and kids can't make it home for the holiday or buy personally things while in school. While some student have to sell their jerseys, hats, jackets just to make money to survive. Because playing a sport in college is like a job and you are truly deciated to something that doesn't pay anything hoping one day you will make it pro. If the student got caught doing these alleged things you were suspended from games. Is it really fair to know that the NCAA really is exploit the athlete throughout his years of college sports.

Gaming can make a better world

What I summarize about the speech Jane gave that she was extremely motivated about the situation in gaming because that's something that interested her throughout life. That thru gaming that provides food for the brain it gives hope that you can do things beyond your control. By investing the time trying to solve problems or puzzles that is given thru the game people get a sense of control that they can do anything without questioning their own doubts. This sense control that someone might feel helps them suceed through all measure and graduating to the next level of the game.

Precis

In “Making an Effective Argument”, Good Reasons by Lester Faigley, arrestd that arguments can be used throughout their position arguments. The authors use evidence of other writers using arguments in order to change the point of view and they explain their arguments throughout the book and why arguments are important. Faigley purpose for this is to show the audience how arguments are used and what they are in order to teach the audience about arguments. The audience is students, people with higher education, writers by the evidence used in the chapter and the tone is more educational and persuasive.
