A Divided Class Analysis

HSC 3550 is one of the most important upper division classes for the students of Health Science major. I learned a lot from this class like legal and ethical issues that come along with U.S health system. I was totally unaware of the many facts of our health system and now I have enough knowledge to talk about. I have started reading online news and blogs about our health system and its legal and ethical matters. Two-class presentation was very helpful as well, that helped me to master at least those two chapters for sure. Some of the instructions or I can say our prompts were very complicated and nuanced for our individual paper, it was hard to understand and no proper instructions were given from where to begin. Journals totally messed

Stereotyping and naming can be extremely terrible towards any individual. This is on account of other individuals may judge rapidly or accept something

According to Deborah Rhode in her essay “Why Looks Are the Last Bastion of Discrimination”looks and discrimination are based on physical appearance. This includes height, weight, body shape, disfigurement,skin conditions, scars, and even birthmarks. Rhode’s ideas do apply to discrimination, because nearly thirty percent of women reported experiencing discrimination in 2013.

Wednesday, September 2, 2015 was our first SWK 305 class day. In order to break the ice between all of the students in class Professor Lori Spector had everyone go around introducing themselves, we had to say our names and a adjective describing us using the first letter of our name, I am Radiant Rose. I thought this icebreaker was creative because at the end of the class even if I haven’t remembered the persons name I did remember the adjective they used. The next activity was to get familiar with someone in your group and introduce him or her to the rest of the class. Being that my group was composed of a trio I assume we had a different experience than those who had a pair. This exercise helped me create connections with some of my peers,

The meaning, significance, and definition of race have been debated for centuries. Historical race concepts have varied across time and cultures, creating scientific, social, and political controversy. Of course, today’s definition varies from the scientific racism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that justified slavery and later, Jim Crow laws in the early twentieth. It is also different from the genetic inferiority argument that was present at the wake of the civil rights movement. However, despite the constantly shifting concepts, there seems to be one constant that has provided a foundation for ideas towards race: race is a matter of visually observable attributes such as skin color, facial features, and other self-evident

What is good advice? Good advice helps people to learn how to achieve their goals. In Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, Randy goes on to talk about his life goal, and how he was able to achieve it. He then gives several pieces of good advice to help others accomplish what he was able to. Good advice should be given to inform, not to critique, and it should help those receiving the information, not confuse them.

“A Class Divided” video demonstrated prejudice to young children based on the color of their eyes and how this is related to the unfairness of racism. The teacher took ribbons and tied them around the neck of a certain eye color group for a day and treated them differently. It demonstrated to the children that they cannot choose what eye color they have and they got very upset that they were being treated poorly and their friends with a different eye color were not. This in conjunction with how a person of color doesn’t get to determine their skin color but still are treated solely on the color of their skin.

Death is a terrifying prospect for most people, imagine being face to face with it. In Edgar Allan Poe’s “Masque of the Red Death”, the revelers were in this very situation. Prince Prospero’s country is devastated by the Red Death. A plaque that resulted in a painful, gruesome, death. Prince Prospero being the selfish, uncaring man he is, locked himself and a thousand of his lighthearted friends in his abbey to hide from the Red Death. After 6 months of seclusion Prince Prospero throws a masquerade to celebrate that they were still free of the Red Death. It was at this masquerade a gruesome mummer appeared shortly before Prince Prospero and all the revelers to died of the Read Death. In this story, Poe personifies death through the mummer who comes like a thief through the night stealing the lives of Prince Prospero and his court.

A Class Divided, written by William Peterson in 1987, exposed racial behavior in young Caucasian classmates, who were victims of indoctrination by general cultural ideals of White Supremacy. These ideologies that were used as psychological tactics to destruct and intimidate other ethnic groups that weren’t of European descent in the United States. Ideologies such as su-periority and inferiority concepts have been convinced throughout centuries of civilization. Ma-jority of people are highly in favor of Americanization from fear of oppression, inferiority and difference. The way Americans interact with other people, and how people are portrayed within different ethnic groups have always been a national controversy. It has become a social construct

When in the classroom learning is something that is like a seesaw. The ups and downs come with some classes more than others. The classes that I have found my most ups and downs are English, math, and science. When learning you can not just keep failing by not seeking help. These are the most challenging classes stem from one of these subjects, but there is always a way to make it through with these three steps; finding the situation, assessing it, and seeking help.

Most people will agree that a name is a very important identity for a person. Beautiful names are usually given to lovely babies. Unpleasant names, however, are often criticized as bad images for people having them. Many children with “ugly” names face discrimination at school and are isolated or beaten by other children. People may wonder why parents can give that kind of “ugly” names to their children while other parents give their children nice and wonderful names. In fact, there are many factors that affect how parents will name their children, and the three main factors are culture, convenience, and socioeconomic status.

Some, a person’s physical appearance. Some though, affect more than just the individual. During freshman year, I got sick and tired of the stigma being built up in the very halls of my school. I had never talked back to a teacher or a faculty member in my life, and I still have yet to do so. But when an informed, caring individual like myself is not given the facts, there is bound to be a push-back. I was infuriated at what I believed to be the oppression of rights at my school, during my time off, during my lunch. I am talking about being asked if I was dealing, or selling, or doing drugs every time I hung out with my friends in the parking lot. I have never in my life touched recreational drugs, so this came as a complete outrage. I felt that the reasoning behind the decision did not justify the prejudice I was enduring as a teenager. That was my biggest issue with these events, I felt that the school was building a demagoguery, playing to our emotional side, instead of explaining the issue rationally. I was outraged that I was being treated like a criminal, so I would moan, and complain, and become irate every day at this oppression. It angered me so much that I considered scheduling a meeting with our principal to discuss the change of treatment for students. Before I could send a hostile, and angrily worded letter, I gave myself some time to breathe. As angry as I was(and still am) at the blanket of guilt being cast over every teen, I realized that it really did not matter that much. I reminded, and still remind myself every day that it is not worth throwing a fit over yet. Some things just have to be let go, because they are more trouble than they are

The judgments that they have against each other is for some of the worst reasons to judge someone. Some of these judgments are the way there names are, the way they live in this society, and even the way they look. One of these reasons of judgement has caused many problems towards the white and blacks and it is the way there names are. Many blacks and whites have the biggest judgments towards each other by their names. In society today there is far more reasons to judge someone other than their name and we are trying to stop it. According to Sendhil Mullainathan, “we can isolate the effect of race to some degree, we randomly used stereotypically African-American names (such as “Jamal”) on some and stereotypically white names (like “Brendan”) on others.” However, communities all around have had judgment towards whites and blacks, such as getting a job and having an interview with the different colors of race. The judgments aren’t only there color, but of the way they look. These judgments that have been told and done because of a different color of race trying to work for a living or the way they look and think they can’t be trusted has caused many issues and society is trying to solve the problem so other races can work for the opposite race. Sendhil Mullainathan believes, “Others contend that they are merely the tip of the iceberg, highlighting that skin color still has a huge effect on how
