2.2 Describe how to make an individual aware of the effects of poor hygiene on others If an individual’s poor hygiene was having an effect on others I would sensitively talk to the individual alone to explain that their hygiene level was having an impact on others. 2.3 Describe how to support an individual to develop and improve personal hygiene routines To support an individual develop and improve personal hygiene routines, I would assist the individual in a sensitive manner and allow them to do what they can do individually, I would also explain to them the importance of personal hygiene. 3.1 Identify factors that
TASK 1- P2 and P3: PESENTATION ON DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES AND ITS POTENTIAL EFFECT ON THOSE WHO USE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SERVICES Introduction Discrimination is defined as the act of treating a person or a group of people differently and unfairly. In this assignment, I am going to do a presentation about discrimination, the types of discrimination and their potential effects it can in the service user as well as the service provider. The basis of discrimination can be either direct or indirect. Direct discrimination involves being treated less than others on the grounds of either racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age, physical or mental disability or sexual orientation. Indirect discrimination on the other hand occurs where the effect of certain requirements, conditions or practices imposed by an employer or education provider has an adverse impact disproportionately on one group or other unless they have a reason to justify it.
In The Unresponsive Bystander: Why Doesn’t He Help? Latané and Darley said “If he does not intervene, he may feel empathetic distress at a victim’s continuing unhappiness, shame from the actual or implied reproach from other people, and guilt for failing to live up to his own standards of behavior” (1970). If a bystander chooses not to help he may feel useless and feel really bad about himself like he can not help anybody. Or in some cases the bystander can feel shame by others around him and feel they didn’t pursue their role as a helping citizen. When a bystander does decide to get involved, they could be taking a big risk.
When you take in more calories than you burn, your body stores those unused calories as fat. Obesity occurs when a person has too much body fat. Low-income families are more susceptible to obesity because of limiting factors such as: limited resources and lack of access to healthy, affordable foods; fewer opportunities for physical activity; cycles of starvation and overeating; and high stress levels. Low-income neighborhoods often lack farmers’ markets and other grocery stores where fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, and whole grain products are readily available. Those without transportation are subjected to shopping at convenience and corner stores.
We tend to believe what we think about someone rather than getting to know who the individual really is. These actions can trigger hostility with in a group, and could also cause inappropriate thoughts to arise because you dislike someone just because they have been stereotyped. An example of a stereotype you find in your everyday life. Stereotyping is done by almost everyone, there are many that we all see in our everyday life. For example, if we know someone is on welfare, we tend to think they are lazy and don't care.
Equality, Diversity and Rights Discriminatory practice in health and social care, P2&P3&M1 Discrimination bases on factors like culture, disabilities, age, social class, gender, sexuality, health status, family status, cognitive ability etc. It can be practiced in many ways including infringement of rights, covert or overt abuse of power, stereotyping, abuse, bullying, prejudice and labelling, basically anything that involves the giving of unfair treatment to people based on above factors and personal opinions. If a person is discriminated against it can cause a detrimental effect like low self-esteem, negative behaviour (criminality, depression or aggression), marginalisation and disempowerment etc. Prejudice refers to beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that someone holds about a group or an individual. A prejudice is not based on experience; instead, it is a prejudgment, forming from outside of actual experience or knowledge.
Imposing higher taxes on junk food will not encourage healthy eating. Taxes don’t stop people from buying things that satisfy them. By restricting dietary choices Americans will not suddenly know the difference between junk food and health food. The government cannot appropriately regulate and restrict improper consumption in people’s homes; they need to keep their hands out of Americans pockets and start fighting obesity through educating adults and their children on proper nutritional routines. Imposing a junk food tax draws attention to one of the most imperative questions which is how to define foods as unhealthy.
Even though some countries are not lacking farm land or water to grow food, malnutrition occurs simply due to the lack of education on nutrition and healthy eating. Keep in mind that malnutrition is not only the lack of food, but it is also the lack of nutrients in unhealthy eating. Obesity is a growing problem even in developed countries. Only is it through education and awareness that we have hope in the future to help conquer malnutrition. How has Right to Play tackled malnutrition?
It is important to note that depression and abuse are not always a factor but that it is common in many cases. In both diseases, their main focus is on food, although there are different results. (Bruch 1992) The result of Anorexia and Bulimia on a person’s health is very similar, but the steps leading up to the conditions are not. With Anorexia, a person consciously does not eat in order to achieve what they perceive as the “perfect” body. When they look in the mirror, they do not see how lean and skeletal they appear, rather, they see themselves as needing to lose “just a few more pounds.” With Bulimia, a person consumes large quantities of food to numb their feelings.
Even with healthier choices, one cannot be aware of exactly what is in the food cooked in restaurants, while families can opt out of the drive-through and go in to sit and eat together at fast-food establishments it isn't as intimate and the time is rushed, low-cost options on fast food menus cost more than cooking a family meal at home. Pollan writes, “The fact is that not cooking may well be deleterious to our health, and there is reason to believe that the outsourcing of food preparation to corporations and 16-year-olds has already taken a toll on our physical and psychological wellbeing” (106). This essay will prove that eating fast-food threatens physical health, weakens the family, and is costly. Physical health is influenced directly by our meal choices. Choosing to order a healthier meal option at a restaurant is not equal to a home cooked meal made with fresh foods.
