INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:

You have some interesting ideas that could be developed into an argument, but as this stands, it is not an argumentative essay. Early on, the paper addresses discrimination when physicians collect information on race and ethnicity. This could be the focus of your paper. But that issue needs research.
I encourage you to narrow down your topic to just one specific idea and focus on making an argument readers could disagree with. Readers could certainly disagree on whether doctors should collect information on race and ethnicity. Then, use specific examples from her research to support your points


Please make this paper awesome! I need an A on this paper...

Running head: RESEARCHED ARGUMENT ROUGH DRAFT Researched Argument Rough Draft Name: Institution: Date: 1 Running head: RESEARCHED ARGUMENT ROUGH DRAFT 2 In America, many stereotypes exist to explain and justify inequalities between different ethnic groups and social classes. These stereotypes are widely spread through print and social media to depict the supremacy. They are either positive or negative depending on the side one is positioned. Social status or economic strength determines the content of the stereotypes. The groups that have fewer economic and social advantages are often stereotyped in ways that explain disparities. In most cases, these stereotypes often lead to discrimination, reduced opportunities, and racism. The issue of racial/ethnic perceptions in health care by both the patients and the health workers require addressing. Among the ways of achieving this is striving to provide culturally competent health care. In doing this, the patient perspective plays a significant role in enhancing communication, respect for patient preferences and informed decision-making, patient trust with the physician, reducing incidences of perceived discrimination, and higher language competency. There is discomfort provided to the patients when the physicians collect information on their race and ethnicity. When the information is given to the clerk during the admission of a patient, half of the patients believed that it would be used to discriminate against the patients Many factors trigger patient perception of race/ethnic discrimination. The most prominent are the lack of proper capture of the language in use. When there is a language barrier between the patient and physician, there is a possibility of delay in service delivery that leads the patient to think that the doctor is discriminative. Other incidences occur when the physician is not aware of the patient’s culture and values and acts against them without his/her awareness making it perceived ignorance to the patient. The gap requires to be closed, and one of the ways of bridging it is through the nurses diversifying their knowledge on culture and language of the patients. Most of the patients demonstrate confidence while sharing their information with STEREOTYPES AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN 3 people they feel personally attached to and those who they can relate well. Patients with a perception of ethnic/racial discrimination are not contented with the quality of care rendered to them. Healthcare systems should work towards achieving culturally competent health care and enhancing patient-physician communication to reduce the incidences of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination. One of the leading indicators of an affected community is the presence of stereotyping. In this, the members of the community associate some characters or behavior to a particular group of people. A case in point is the racial drama in the United States. The white community associates the black community with all sorts of evil from drugs, theft, murder, to rape. Whenever there is a criminal activity in a neighborhood that consists of white people and the black people, the first people to be questioned are the black, despite their innocence or involvement. Whenever a white police officer pulls a white person over, the way he will handle them is much softer and friendlier that when the same cop pulls over a black man. They are always suspected irrespective of their positions in the society A stereotype about the blacks being contaminated and dirty was widespread. During that time, it was easy to imagine and hold that those with low incomes who happened to the blacks had insufficient funds for cleaning supplies. The majority also held that they were less concerned about hygiene. This stereotype was widely used to justify laws of segregating the African Americans from the whites under the excuse of cleanliness and disease prevention. These laws served to discriminate the blacks from sharing basic social amenities such restrooms, swimming facilities with the whites. On the contrary, it was paradoxical as the whites usually preferred the blacks to work in their houses as cleaning agents, maids, and nannies. The extent of the STEREOTYPES AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN 4 discrimination presented by this stereotype was immense such that the blacks could cook for the whites but could not share the same dining table. Despite a black’s financial strength, he could not purchase a home in the whites’ neighborhoods. Secondly, a stereotype that blacks are drug users and peddlers is common among the Americans. Despite the national surveys’ findings, that shows that blacks are less likely to use tobacco and other hard drugs. This stereotype makes African Americans be widely targeted, arrested, and incarcerated by authorities for drug-related crimes. People use this stereotype of the blacks’ drug dealing to rationalize the imbalance scales of justice. Many jails in America are full of blacks convicted of drug-related crimes. Their high numbers in the jails affirm the stereotype that African Americans are drug users. The notion has affected the judicial system where drugrelated cases biased. Most of the blacks in prisons are wrongly convicted of drug use or peddling. Lastly, the stereotype that African Americans are a primitive lot is up to date held by the majority of whites. The blacks are considered ass primitive in their lifestyles and religion. Despite the widespread enlightenment, a significant number of whites still perceive the blacks as believers of witchcraft and wizards. Numerous movies depict the African Americans as technology dwarfs with no knowledge of modern technology. In the recent past, I went to an allwhite mobile shop to purchase a tablet. On reaching the cashier, the Caucasian lady made comments of how we, the blacks, are backward technology wise. She told me to make good use of the manual or else I will sell the gadget cheaply the following day. Such is an example of the prejudice and stereotype held by the whites’ against the blacks. From the above discussion, stereotypes often lead to discrimination, reduced opportunities, and racism. The study has discussed some of the main negative stereotypes STEREOTYPES AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN 5 rendered to the African-Americans in the United States. The stereotype that the blacks are unhygienic is not only falsely grounded but also paradoxical bearing in mind that blacks work in the houses of the whites. The notion that blacks are drug users is ill grounded and have caused great suffering to the blacks. These stereotypes about African Americans need abolishment and the fact that all people are equal before the law embraced. STEREOTYPES AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN 6 References Holmes, M. D., & Smith, B.

STEREOTYPES AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICAN
Discrimination among African Americans
It is imperative that America is characterized by different forms of discrimination. These
discriminations are centered on ethnic backgrounds or even social status. The less fortunate
regarding economic strengths are subject to discrimination. Africans Americans are also center
of discrimination because of their race, ethnic background, and social status. Various stereotypes
can be used to illustrate this discrimination position as put down in this paper.
The discrimination is well manifested in the healthcare set up. Often, when a patient is
being admitted, questions about the race and ethnicity are always raised. This is a reason good
enough to force the patient to feel discriminated when the services of their expectation are not
delivered (Alang et al. 2017). The case is elevated in the course of the treatment if the treatment
is not offered by a culturally competent health care provider. Some of the healthcare providers
will show language difficulties with the patient, meaning that services may be delayed to patients
who are culturally incongruent with the nurses. The position is contrary to patients who are of
white's origin. These clients will interact easily with care providers and have their health issues
sorted as quickl...
