racial micro aggression table

by

Completion of the following table: Based on the article—Racial Micro-aggressions in Everyday Life (see the supplemental readings folder), please answer the following two questions:

1) briefly define racial micro-aggression and

2) give an micro-aggression example of each theme and implicit message.

– I will attach the article in the attachments

this is just an example from one of my classmates of exactly what I want to do for this assignment:-

  1. Practice ¨microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color¨, to give concrete examples would be crossing the street when another race is on the side walk, not saying hello when spoke to, or automatically assuming people are bad or not worthy just by how they look.

Themes

Microaggression

Implicit message

1. Criminality: A person is presumed to be dangerous, criminal, or deviant

based on their race, nationality and/or sexual orientation

When renting an apartment (Mexican) being told that selling drugs will get you kicked out of the apartment, they read about Chapo.

That all Mexicans sell drugs.

2. Denial of individual prejudice: A statement made by those with social

privilege to deny that they have that privilege or any oppressive thinking

A white flight attendant telling two Asian men to move to the back of the plane when the white men who got on the plane after them, weren’t asked. When confronted why she had the diverse people to move to the back of the ¨bus¨ she said I would never do that.

The white men belonged in the front of the plane and the diverse people belonged behind them.

3. Myth of meritocracy: Statements which assert that race, class, gender, abilities or sexual orientation do not

play a role in life success

A white employer tells an applicant that the best candidate will be hired regardless of race.

People will hire people that will look like them unless they are highly recommended.

4. Religious or cultural superiority: When a person assumes that their race,

religion, or culture (broadly defined) is better than others’

When the white people of Postville changed their home church because on Saturday night service turned to a Spanish sermon

That their language or their pastor is better because he is speaking English.

5. Environmental microaggressions: Ways in which larger systems beyond the individual realm (such as institutional policies and practices) work to maintain systems of privilege and oppression

Students in urban, poor ethnically poor neighborhoods have less school supplies and materials compared to students in white suburban schools

Education is only for wealthy

300 word response to history questions

by

Please review all of the work before placing a bid. I’ve included all the things you need to complete this assignment.

questions- 1) In your own words, provide an overview of what was occurring in the U.S. during the Gold Rush, Civil War, and after the Civil War.

2) Describe how at least one historical event we learned this week connects to our new key term “Manifest Destiny.”

3) What is the historical significance of Sand Creek Massacre, according to the Smithsonian article? How exactly will it be “forgotten no more”?

4) According to this week’s lecture, what was the US military’s reason for killing the plains buffalo? Next, please analyze Bob Marley’s song, “Buffalo Soldier” through our particular historical lens. Keep in mind that this song analysis is open to your own interpretation, so please be thorough but feel free to get creative!

5) It is important to note that this time period was also marked by much indigenous resistance to Manifest Destiny and Westward Expansion. So let’s wrap up this week’s materials by independently researching one of the following indigenous resisters/leaders from this era: Cochise, Black Kettle, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, or Sitting Bull (or if you come across any others from this time period, you are welcome to research him/her instead!) Please explain who you chose to research, how s/he connects to this week’s material, and why s/he is important to learn about. Don’t forget to include a link to the article/video you used to find information.

Question 3: In Hospital Administration Programs, time to adverse events is typically taught in courses on quality. It also may be referred to in courses on strategy, if the hospital is focused on competing based on quality. Hospital Compare reports the measure OP_21. The Score field provides time (in minutes) from emergency department arrival to initial oral, intranasal or parenteral pain medication administration for the patients with a diagnosis of a long bone fracture. The field Sample provides the number of patients used to calculate the time to pain medication. In this assignment, we ask you to track the performance of “Inova Fairfax Medical Center” over two years. Focus on the Score variable.

Download Hospital Compare data; these years include data from 2013 to 2015. Merge the file ” HQI_HOSP_TimelyEffectiveCare” across all the databases that you have downloaded. Select measure ID: “OP_21”. Construct a control chart showing time between pain medications. The data are reported for a range of time; assume that the data are reported for the midpoint of the range. Download data using the following files, additionally include other data (directly from Hospital Compare) for files after 2016:

2015-05-06
2015-04-16
2015-01-22

Construct both a Tukey and a time-between control chart for the data. For the time-between control chart assume that data points above median exceed and observations below median are less than the national average.

  • You can find the solution here .

Question 4: Analyze the following data using Tukey and Time-In-Between (more than 30 minutes of exercise considered a successful day) charts. Produce 3 charts and discuss if the findings from the 3 charts are similar. To decide if the exercise time has changed, rely on the control chart with the smallest difference between upper and control limit. Download the data here
