Overcoming the oppression experienced by the majority of deaf people needs to begin with the parents of the next generation. They need to accept deafness themselves, and teach children to be proud of who they are. “Being content with oneself is the only true way to happiness” (The Color Purple as qtd. “Cochlear Implants”). The oppression also includes cochlear implants being a stab in deaf culture.
1517 Introduction to Equality and Inclusion in Health, Social Care or Children’s and Young People’s Settings. 1.1 Explain what is meant by: Diversity is about difference, and a value of diversity is the richness and variety that different people bring to society. There are specific differences between people, all of the features that make each of us an individual, and there are broader, for example: appearance, gender, race, culture, ability, talent, beliefs. I must value the contributions made by my residents’ different perspectives, different ways of thinking and different approaches. Equality is assuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably specific to their needs, including areas of race, gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age.
UNIT 4222-303 Promote equality and inclusion in health ,social care or children’s and young people’s settings OUTCOME 1 1. Explain what is meant by • Diversity Diversity means difference, it recognises that people have things in common with each other but are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include background, culture, personality, race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age. By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued.
Also, I learned that deafness is not even considered a disability; rather it should be a culture that intertwines with sign language as a culture, rather than a disability. Deaf people are just like hearing people, but they only have one difference which is hearing from their ears. Also, a person who was born deaf and a person who became deaf sometime throughout their life have different feelings because they each developed it differently, therefore making it different. This book is similar to what we learned in class on hearing and the deaf community. Watching the film on the cochlear implant was relevant to a family’s struggle of a child being deaf at a young age and wanting what is best for them as mentioned in the book I read.
Promote Equality and Inclusion in Health, Social Care or Children’s and Young People’s setting 1.1 Diversity: It is best explained as differences between individuals and communities. This involves sexual preferences, disabilities, religious beliefs, individual ethnicity and occasionally family makeup. Equality: This definition is best explained as all individuals regardless of any differences have the equal rights and opportunities as everyone else. Inclusion: Children and young peoples setting should have process’s in place where differences are not magnified and that all individuals are treated fairly and each have the same opportunities as others 1.2 Discrimination can have a lasting effect on an individual. An individual with a disability should feel enabled and have the same opportunities as any other person.
B- Equality Means that all people are to be treated alike and that they should have the same opportunities. Equality stands to embrace the positive aspects of diversity. Everyone should have the same rights and access to education, health care and opportunities for development. C- Inclusion Inclusion is to understand that people are different and to embrace it. It means that no one should be discriminated against because of his or her background.
Unit 2- equality, diversity and right in health and social care Anti discriminatory practice is an action taken to prevent any individuals from being discriminated against on the grounds of race, gender, class, disabilities and more it also takes into account how we behave towards other individuals. National initiatives also over come discrimination when it takes place, there are three main national initiatives which cover anti discriminatory practice which are; conventions, legislations and regulations. These national initiatives are very important to society and health and social care settings as it ensures that everyone is treated equally. The acts which are currently in place that promote anti discriminatory practice are; Human rights act 1998- This covers all human rights and ensures that all individuals have rights on their side and take legal action against any person or organisation including any type of health and social care service that disrespects their human rights. Mental health act 1983- The main purpose of this act is to allow action to be taken when necessary to make sure that people with mental health difficulties get the care and treatment for their own health and safety and also for the protection of other people.
Keywords Equality This states that whatever opportunities are presented to one party or group of peoples that the sae opportunities be offered to the rest of the people as well. In terms of health and social care this means people must receive the same quality of health care as everyone else. Equity This is when fairness and justice is shown in the system. In health and social care this would mean quality services from care and hospitals whether or not they live in a good area or they have less money than the next person. Diversity This is when differences between peoples are accepted, and everyone is given respect for the values and beliefs they hold in society Rights These are the legal entitlements we have in society and an example would be the right to live in a society without any abuse being shown because of their gender differences.
Diversity also means identifying and eliminating all forms of discrimination and putting measures into place to overcome employment disadvantage faced by equal opportunity groups. * Equality Equality means treating everyone with fairness and respect and recognizing the needs of individuals. It is the quality or state of having the same rights, social status, etc. * Inclusion Inclusion means to be fully included, to make people feel valued and respected, irrespective of ethnicity, culture, gender, disability, age, religion or sexual orientation. It is about giving equal access and opportunities.
Assignment 303 - Principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in adult social care settings Task B A) The equality act is a legislation that is in place to ensure that people are given equal rights and opportunities regardless of their age, gender, disability, reace, religion or belief and sexual orientation. This legislation promotes diversity, equality and inclusion by making it a requirement that they are commonly practiced and incorporated into the health and social care setting making it illegal to discriminate against a person / or persons for any reason. Diversity is all about difference, and its value is the quality and variety that different people bring to society. Examples of how people differ from one another, it can be through appearance, ability, race, gender, culture, talent and beliefs. Equality is about everybody being equal to one another, but not necessarily treating them all the same.
