Ethnicity And Socioeconomic Status

The information gathered helps provide updates and changing patterns, needs of health, it helps to identify the changing communication trends and practices in the health community (HINTS). The respondents are 18 and over. HINTS in 2007-2008 had 7,700 respondents; the respondents were chosen from a cross-sectional, stratified random sampling (HINTS 2007). HINTS accomplished this by two methods of random sampling, one sample was obtained using Address Based Sampling (ABS) through the mail, and the other method that was used was from Random Digital Dialing (RDD) and telephone interviews (HINTS2007). I will compare three variables from the HINTS dataset; gender, age of respondents, and marital status. Gender is being used as an independent nominal variable. Gender is being evaluated with the GENERN variable, the respondents were asked, “Are you male or female?” the values being used were 1.00 for males and 2.00 for females. Age is also being looked at, the AGEGRPA is the variable that took the respondents age groups and recoded them into four levels. Marriage status is being used as a dependent nominal variable, marriage status is what I am most interested, the other variables are being used to explain why the respondents their marital status. The marital variable in the HINTS data set is HD06MARTITALSTATU, the respondents were asked, “What is your marital status? Would you say...married, living as married, divorced, widowed, separated, or single, never been

There was a time when America was segregated; Caucasians and African Americans were forced to attend different restrooms, restaurants, and water fountains. However, the era of segregation has been terminated; now America embraces and appreciates the various cultures and ethnicities that create this melting pot several people call home. Likewise, it is this melting pot, or mosaic, of races that multitudes of individuals have identified themselves with. Thus, race and ethnicity does matter for it portrays vital and crucial roles in the contemporary American society. Furthermore, ethnicity and race brings communities together in unity, determines which traditions and ideals individuals may choose to value, and imposes an impediment for it categorizes humans unjustly.

Ethnicity and race are ways to differentiate a group of person from another; therefore, in the 21th century this terms has acquired a powerful meaning in society. A few months ago, I learned how significant this terms are.

Today race in America is a highly controversial topic. It seems that every day we turn on the news, it’s a story about protest or police brutality. Hundreds of black men and women have been killed due to racial discrimination. Thousands of African Americans are incarcerated in Americas prison systems, many of which won’t live to see the light of day. The previous president was African American, yet we can’t escape

In this week’s discussion, I will talk about ethnicity and what it means to me. Then I will explain how ethnicity can influence human services practices in my area of interest.

This essay will be delving into the roots of race and ethnicity and will be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of racial and ethnic labelling and ways to overcome the negative things that are associated with racial and ethnic labelling and categorization. Race and ethnicity are two different things but yet have striking similarities. One focuses on the biological characteristics of a person the other focuses on the cultural practices of a group or

The Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model assesses six factors common to all cultural groups. These factors are communication, space, social organization, time, environmental control and biological variations (Giger, 2013). In an effort to learn how to identify individuality of a person within a cultural framework different from my own I have used this tool to perform a transcultural assessment of C.H. an African American woman. The following assessment provides a description of the subject, U.S.Census data of the identified culture of the subject, data in relation to the factors of the assessment and evaluation of my personal thoughts prior to performing the assessment.

Demographic questionnaires are a good source of gaining public opinions on government policy and product placement depending on gender, race and social class.

I will now examine how gender and ethnic contributed to our crisis event. In addition, I can conclude that ethnicity and gender roles had a great impact on my family. Gender roles not only divide individuals into two dominant categories but grants roles that are taught to be manageable. Both gender are provide guidelines that must be followed.

The subject of race, within the field of sociology, can often be viewed as both a fluid concept and a cultural experience. Contrary to popular belief, race is not biological, but is a socially constructed category of people that share the same biological traits. Race can often change over time and is formed primarily by our personal views and the views of others. These can range from ethnicity to self-presentation and feelings of place within society. One example of the fluidity of race can be seen based upon the classification of the White or Caucasian race. In today’s culture, this race has been drastically increased to include a vast array of “white” individuals.
