Discriminatory practices are very influential on the people that use health and social care services; I will explain these effects and give examples. (1) Marginalisation is when you feel like you are not liked within a group or in other words you don’t feel like you are a part of a group or society.In health and social care everyone should be treated equal and marginalisation is not allowed. An example of this is a youth worker excluding a homosexual teenager based on his sexuality. (1) Disempowerment is to make someone feel devalued this could happen to either an individual or groups. The victim could be discriminated by a valued group/individual or powerful group/individual.
Unit 12 2.1explain how individuals experience discrimination due to misinformation The attitudes people have towards those of us with mental health problems mean it is harder for them to work, make friends and in short, live a normal life. -People become isolated -They are excluded from everyday activities -It is harder to get or keep a job -People can be reluctant to seek help, which makes recovery slower and more difficult -Their physical health is affected. This is because society in general has stereotyped views about mental illness and how it affects people. Many people believe that people with mental ill health are violent and dangerous, when in fact they are more at risk of being attacked or harming themselves than harming other people.
In this research, the authors have recommended several strategies for the prevention of underage drinking on university campuses. Two researchers suggested that “to develop effective programs to prevent alcohol use among young adolescents, it is necessary to first identify the causes of use” (Komro & Toomey, 2002). In this research, the authors were primarily focusing on the responses and/or strategies that will be used to either eliminate, prevent and/or reduce the problems from police considerations. The reason this research is important according to Komro and Toomey (2002), is, underage drinking is a significant problem in America and there is the need to prevent it.Their information is relevant because they noted details of treatment programs as ways of preventing and reducing the problem of underage drinking among students on university
Describe the potential effects of discrimination The potential effects of discrimination can be different for different people. The effects can be physical, emotional or a combination of both. For example children with disabilities may not be given a chance to join in with activities due to others thinking that their disability prevents them from being able to do so. This will make the child feel very different from others. I have listed other possible effects below * Long term effects may be: * Loss of motivation * Restricted opportunities * Limited access to services * Long term depression * Increased behavior problems * Difficulty communicating * Lack of education * Lack of achievement The effects listed above are not only ones that affect the individual; they are effects that can be experienced by the individual’s family and friends too.
It is generally assumed that substance abuse clients are products of a broken family structure and are prone to criminal behavior. Thus warranting the need for group facilitators to filter out most all and/or any negative energy and replace it with the positive. After-all the goal is to modify their behavior, what better way can one began to foster positive reinforcement then to provide the initial environment for such. However, there is always a chance that different claims and/or viewpoints can present challenges. For example, one might find that providing positive energy support for clients is not priority; thus, this can lead to more than just a difference of opinion.
This study is concerned with inconsistencies between parents' estimates and their children's reports of marijuana use, and children's subsequent usage later. The prevention and continuous caution toward the use of marijuana raise the questions and curiosity towards product. The chaos toward the product influences them to use it.

The medical irresponsibility of allowing teenagers to drink alcohol on a legal basis is also obvious to those who have basic knowledge. Consuming alcohol on a regular basis can negatively affect the development of an individual’s brain’s frontal lobes, which are responsible for emotional regulations, as well as planning and organizing. Underage individuals who consume alcohol put themselves at more risks of addiction, decreased ability of decision-making, tend to behave less responsibly, and may become violent, depressed, and even prone to suicide. The so called “trickle-down effect”, well known to sociologists, is another reason against lowering drinking age which should be taken into consideration. This effect implies to individuals who already have a right to purchase alcohol and consume alcohol, while also tend to buy it for their younger
The negative stereotypes they have might impact the way they are treated in health and social practitioners. One stereotype that gypsies might face is that they are uneducated and are labelled as unintelligent. This negative stereotype can influence they way they are treated in health and social care settings. This could lead the gypsies to be treated unfairly by health practitioners. There have been various studies to prove negative effects of stereotyping for example, Jane Elliott experiment.
