Nikou Mehdizadeh Bajan Queen’s, Nebulous Scenes: Sexual Diversity in Barbados Critical Analysis The article Bajan Queens, Nebulous Scenes: Sexual Diversity by David Murray is about the people he conducted research through his fieldwork on the individuals who identify themselves as ‘queens” in the island of Barbados. In their society, a ‘queen’ was a term coined with someone who was considered ‘transgender’, (in a north American context) or someone born with male gentilia but saw themselves as a girl (Murray 2009:2). Throughout the article, Murray argues that even though the diversity of sexuality in Barbados is influenced by North American values and identities, a large part of how these ‘queens’ identify themselves is based on their local beliefs and principles. In my perspective, the article discussed a good understanding of this specific group of people but may have been bias. In this critical analysis, we will first summarize the article based on the author’s thesis, then it will be compared to the readings in the textbook Cultural Anthropology.
How far is Source 2C supported by Sources 2A and 2B? I believe that Source 2C is poorly supported by Sources 2A and 2B because of the agenda of Denis Judd and the contrasting views between sources. Denis Judd, in Source 2C, is a very traditionalist view on nursing in the Crimean War. He has an agenda to inform readers of his “The Crimean War” book, but clearly leans very much towards how well Nightingale served the British soldiers in the Crimea. Both Source 2A and 2B have some supporting points, and some very unsupportive points.
The U.S. National Institute Of Health requires that research on human beings must be diverse in gender, race, and culture. The Tuskegee Study was performed on only African American men, there were no other races or genders involved. The study was focused on finding the affects that syphilis caused on the body in African American men as opposed to Caucasian men. The PHS could have tested both racial groups, yet they chose to only test in African American men. So what could only African American men be infected with syphilis?
This was the attitude in 1930’s America towards black people and women. Curley’s Wife is represntive of the marginalisation of women. Steinbeck throughout the novel calls her “Curley’s Wife” and we do not know her real name. This shows that she is not treated as a person but a possession of Curley’s, which shows the ranch as being a microcosm of 1930’s America. She is also call other names in the novel by the men, “tart”, “tramp” and “rattrap”.

It covers all aspects of the anti-discrimination laws but is significantly easier for people and businesses to comply with as it is all in One Act and One law. Equality is basically stressing the fact that everyone should be treated equally and fairly and given the same opportunities in employment to build and progress in a career and also in everyday life, within certain limits obviously. E.g if someone had been prosecuted for paedophilia previously then the opportunity for them to work within a child environment would automatically be taken away from them as this would be putting the children/young adults at a potential risk and this is not efficient safeguarding. 9 areas that are covered by the Equality Act 2010 are: * Age * Disability * Gender Re-Assignment * Marriage and Civil Partnership * Pregnancy, Maternity, Paternity * Race * Religion, Belief, Culture * Sexual
The mission of the AHRQ is to “improve quality safety efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare for all Americans”. Information from their research allows people to make informed decisions regarding their medical care and improve the quality of services.

Stressing that organizations should have “transparent and equitable disciplinary process that takes into account personal responsibility and accountability.” TJC noted two major actions that erode leadership credibility and undermine the culture of safety; terminating or failing to support an employee who committed a blameless act during the course of an adverse event (med error), and exempting influential individuals from complying with quality and safety policies, such as policies on intimidating and disruptive behavior, (playing favorites). TJC has also been instrumental in creating the “do not use” list of abbreviations and the sound a like warnings for
