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
