  • There are no right or wrong answers, but there are better and worse answers. You need to think hard about your answers so that you can be settled in your own mind. If you are confused, then you will write in a confusing way. If you don’t understand what you think clearly enough to put it down in a simple and direct way, then you need to think on it some more. Be thorough, but don’t over-think. Most of these ask for your opinion or interpretation, not necessarily a “correct” answer.

Directions:

  • Number your answer so that it corresponds to the question you’re answering.
  • Each answer should be between 200-350 words.
  • Answer any SEVEN of the following ten questions; if you answer more than seven, I’ll simply grade the first seven answers I see



  • The
    Questions:

  • 1.
    Choose one of Iris Young’s “Five
    Faces of Oppression” and one level of Gordon Allport’s “Scale of Prejudice” –
    define them in your own words, and then give an example from your own
    experience of each type of oppression that you’ve chosen – something that
    happened to you (either as oppressor or oppressed), or something that you
    observed happening to someone else. Be sure to conclude your story with a
    sentence that makes clear how the examples illustrate the oppression.
    2.
    What does Berlin & Fowkes’
    LEARN model (Listen, Explain, Acknowledge, Recommend, & Negotiate) do for
    patient/healthcare provider relations? How can the LEARN model help to regulate
    discrimination in the healthcare field (like the type discussed in the lectures
    & TED Talks)? Please offer a story – either your own personal story or
    something you saw/read – to clarify your answer.
    3.
    A normal reaction of people when
    first beginning to consider issues of diversity is to believe that social identities
    do not really matter, that they treat everyone equally, and that they do not
    see differences (“I don’t see color” etc.). We saw some of that in Jane
    Elliott’s videos (I’m thinking specifically of the blonde teacher in The
    Event     and the blonde student in The Angry Eye). We also
    see in the videos how that kind of belief denies and negates the truth of other
    people’s experiences. Briefly explain how “not seeing differences” can
    be more problematic than helpful, then tell a story about this sort of denial
    and the harm (either actual or potential) caused by denying the truth of
    someone else’s experience. You may either tell of your own experience or
    something you’ve observed or read about
    4.
    Alongside learning about oppression
    & the various –isms (racism, sexism, etc), we have spent time discussing
    privilege & how it can apply to many different areas, such as race, class,
    religion, gender, sex, etc. How can privilege affect the ways that we treat
    people, both in general & in the healthcare field? Choosing one area to
    discuss (meaning don’t talk about race, class, religion, AND gender, for
    example – pick ONE), talk about what privilege can look like in that area &
    then how our perceptions can be affected by our own privilege (or lack
    thereof). Please include an example to clarify your point.
    5.
    What are some of the ways that you
    can deal professionally with a patient or client whose views are diametrically
    opposed to your own? How does an African American nurse deal with a wounded KKK
    member? How does a Christian doctor handle a Muslim patient? What philosophies,
    methods, or practices (cultural humility, checking privilege, being aware of
    ethnocentrism, LEARN, etc.) would you employ to deal with a situation like this
    & why would they be affective?
    6.
    Explain what microagressions &
    hate speech are, offering real-life examples of each. Then explain how the two
    are different from one another (intention, affect, etc.) & why it matters
    that we can tell the difference between them.
    7.
    Think about the ways people usually
    resist the notions that oppressions, such as racism or sexism, still exist in
    today’s world (for example, the way people resisted Elliott’s workshops) &
    explain how their negative reactions are often a result of privilege. How can
    we better explain the notion of what privilege is to people who are so
    resistant? Can they acknowledge oppression exists without acknowledging their
    own privilege?
    8.
    Drawing on the material in the
    lectures & personal experiences, explain what unconscious bias is and
    provide real life examples. Why is it important to acknowledge these
    implicit/unconscious biases & how they affect our behaviors?
    9.
    Explain what systemic/structural
    racism is, using real life examples from the lecture material. What makes this
    type of oppression so difficult to combat? How can those of us that have
    privilege in certain areas work to undo/undermine structural racism?

    10.
    In your own words, explain what
    intersectionality is & why it is important in identifying both privilege
    & oppression. Offer real-life examples of how intersectionality can work to
    help people work against discriminatio
