The organisation could also be fined by not complying with the law which would have a negative effect with exposure in the media. Organisations would have a reduction in patient and public confidence and so their reputation would be affected and patients would choose to have their care else where. Members of staff would also have a decrease in confidence with the organisation and their stress levels will increase. On the individual: This could cause further complications to their primary condition increasing their recovery time and possibly giving them a lengthy stay in a hospital setting. Patients may be forced to stay off work which will lead to a loss of earnings putting more stress on the individual and their families, possibly leaving a patient needing treatment for depression.
The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
As sociologist Douglas S. Massey has said, “segregation is a key cause of poverty because where one lives determines much about the life chances one faces." And this in the United States is "Created by White prejudice, Actualized by discriminatory behavior and Condoned, if not supported, by government." Today both, in the US and in Europe as well, overt racism is replaced by “politically correct behavior” and the reality of social relations has been rarified. This has made the evil of racism omnipresent, omnipotent but still invisible. It is to the credit of White societies, that, this art is not only universalized but its social reproduction is also ensured.
To continue, ill health can also be affected by there not being enough health care services for individuals to access. There are also ethnicity barriers which can be the cause of limited access to health care services. These barriers include language and other cultural barriers. For instance a service user may not speak the same language used at the health care service therefore this can affect the effectiveness of communication between the service and the patient; this will also affect how successful the treatment of the patient may be. Another example for culture being an ethnicity barrier may be that a patient (Asian female) may not wish to be treated by a male doctor as
Classim comes into play when we are talking about the “class” being affect by the poisoning. As stated previously, lead poisoning is more prevalent in lower income communities. Therefore the class that is being affected is that of the lower, which is seen as our modern day peasants. Nearly 39%of all black families in the United States are living under they poverty line (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007). This all comes back to racism in the United States and the continued oppression of minority
Extreme poverty, according to Sachs, is defined as the inability to acquire the essentials for survival. This includes food, shelter and potable drinking water. Those who endure moderate poverty are just meeting the requirements for physical survival. Poverty in America assumes the character of “relative” poverty, in which those who earn below the national average income struggle to acquire quality housing, quality food and quality education (Sachs, 20). Though the immediate consequences of poverty in America may not be as severe as in other parts of the world, poverty in America still has a negative effect on millions and poses an extremely serious issue for legislators, administrators and other concerned Americans.
He claims that there is not much of the American dream left and that “we’ve become a hapless, can’t-do society, and it’s frankly, embarrassing” (Herbert, 566). He blames the poor policies, decline of the educational system, and the costly wars we cannot afford for our country’s loss of the idolized perception we have of the American dream. He defines the American dream as jobs provided for all who want to work and provide salaries large enough to allow employees to have a decent standard of living. Herbert urges the idea that raising taxes will help the issue of inequality amongst Americas classes and will help us pay for the wars overseas. Robert H. Frank, author of “Income Inequality: Too Big to Ignore”, supports Herbert’s beliefs.
It could be argued that this is not an effective way of researching as people flow in and out of social classes throughout their life. Http; www.statistics.com.uk Social Class is linked to health because of four different reasons highlighted in the Black Report, The artifact approach is where the data between the higher and lower classes is not accurate enough, it’s a result of the way the data is source and collected. The social selection explanation is when people who are fitter and in better health have a better chance of being employed in better jobs. In comparison to people in lower social groups according to this theory will suffer more ill health and premature death because they are naturally less healthy and fit. Cultural explanations is when lifestyle choices are made regarding diet, smoking, exercise have an impact and make people less healthy than others in the higher social groups.
When the level is at an unhealthy for sensitive groups the people most prone especially those who have many outdoor activities is proposed to be limited. When the level is at an unhealthy level, it is proposed that everyone should limit their outdoor activities. When the level is at very unhealthy level it is proposed that everyone should limit their outdoor activities even more. Conclusion This paper shows that the ground-level ozone should be addressed more concerning people’s health. Many of the things proposed are not getting to enough people to help curb the health problems associated with the ground-level ozone.
Also Newton refers to discrimination as an act of injustice towards the receiver. For example, if a woman is turned down for a job because a male with the same qualifications was also interviewed and received the position due to his gender. Newton doesn’t agree with this injustice but also wonders since more people are realizing that not choosing persons due to their gender or race is discrimination, if they are giving women and or African Americans special treatment so that their company can look diverse and nondiscriminatory. If true, then the rest of workers are now having the bulk of injustice done to them. Newton states, “It is, then, an ironic paradox” (414).
