Disparities In America

314 Words2 Pages

The most important of the vast privileges today’s generation of America has in my opinion are freedom and choice. Of course none of these would’ve been possible without blood, sweat, and tears from our soldiers.

Our veterans have given us everything we need and more so the vast majority of us can be successful. America has had a high rate of immigration that continues to increase because of the plentiful opportunities available. From economic advantages to religious freedom America is full of gifts.

I am able to go to college to pursue the career of my choice and interest.

For example, Trump says that “the U.S government will not accept transgenders to serve in any capacity in the military and that the military should just be focused on the victory and not just by the disruption that transgenders in the military would entail.” This shows that Trump thinks that the LGBT community is a distraction to our society.

Research have shown over the past 25 years that disparities in the quality of care are highly influenced by individual characteristics such as race, gender, ethnicity, education, income, and age. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) recognized that providing care is not simply a “one size fits all” approach especially with the diverse population in today’s society. As healthcare professionals, we need to be alert and know how to properly intervene with such disparities so that the care provided is tailored to the individual.

    To me an American is someone who can make a difference in the world, someone who can be a free citizen, born and raised in the United States. The idea that everyone around us is viewed equally, looked at from the same perspective. Segregation is a thing in the past, a place where people come to see fairness and equality among people. Yes, compared to past times fairness and equality in America is better but there are still many disagreements among jobs and schooling, and crimes that are viewed at differently by race. We are protected by the bill of rights which provides us with a lot of safety.

  • Racial Oppression In America

    909 Words  | 4 Pages

    Relentlessly scrolling along every news channel's ticker, new names seem to be appearing every single week— news of unarmed citizens, shot down by police and demonized by the media to justify their deaths. Within the first five months of 2015 (which consisted of a mere 152 days), law enforcement took the lives of a whopping 464 people (Wing). Of all of the victims, 50% (234) were caucasian and 29% (135) were African American (Wing). This, considering that black people make up a mere 13.2%, while whites make up 77.4% of the United States population, shows massively disproportionate representation (U.S. Census Bureau). There is a very apparent (although often overlooked) prejudice against African American citizens that has seeped into law enforcement
