Berk, ML, Schur, CL, & Cantor, JC. (1995). Ability to obtain health care: recent estimates from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation National Access to Care Survey. Health Affairs 14(3): 139-146.

In Berk et al. (1995), the researchers investigate Americans' ability to access health care. The findings hypothesize that a more concrete definition of health care needs, including supplementary services like dental and mental health care, among others, is needed to find ways to improve access to needed services. The data set examined in this study included findings from the 1994 National Access of Care Survey, which included 75% ...

Nutritional status is a secondary dependent variable. The research problem was communicated well. The authors provided an introduction on the issue of the risk of or actual undernutrition among older adults and the health consequences. They detailed how oral supplementation is an evidence-based medical nutrition therapy to prevent or treat undernutrition but that poor compliance is a barrier to adequate consumption limiting ...

I would like to agree with most of the findings and opinions expressed by the writer of this invaluable article. Since we are in a competitively diverse society, it is inevitable that we have to embrace comparison as one of our traits. However, in doing this, we should be in a position of to understand its two fold consequences (Adamic, L., 2007).

Similarly, I also accept the fact that it is good because it can help people to improve their performance. As she argues, it does this through motivating individuals and eventually boosting their self esteem. Actually, a motivated fellow will be ...

Introduction

The US racial hierarchal system used to only demarcate the white/black color line. However, as more and more racially diverse populations migrate to the United States, the racial hierarchal system in the US adapts new ways to emphasize racial differences between whites and “others”. Guenther, Pendaz and Makene’s research about the intersections of identity of Eastern African immigrants and its impact on their racial status in the US present how racism in the United States continue to persist and grow to accommodate more and more ways to assert whites and degrade non-whites. Furthermore, the paper explores personal encounters ...

The writers of the previous articles discuss the inequalities that exist in South Korea and the citizens’ sensitivity towards cultural, economic, and social contexts. This article ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...

Two articles, A Necessary Evil: Framing an American Indian Legal Identity by Dwanna L. Robertson and Indian Identity by Nicholas C. Peroff address a very simple and yet almost endlessly complicated issue of modern Indian identity in the American society. Dwanna Robertson identifies three different types of Indian identity – ethnical, racial and formal. Nicholas Peroff has another tri-component classification system of Indianness (with a capital “I”), indianness (with a small “i”) and emerging third hybrid new indianness. Both authors provide arguments as to how they arrived at their classifications and what it means in real world and to real ...

Race is one of the factors that play a role in the determination of the credit worthiness of a person. A study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston showed that minorities were more likely to be denied mortgages compared to the whites. Credit plays an important role in the lives of the minorities because it enables them to improve or escape their poor living conditions (Munnell, Tootell, Browne and McEneaney 25). The lack of credit would mean that the minorities will continue being poor. As a result, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) was enacted so as ...

In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie. They hypothesized that lying and deception can be averted if face-to-face interaction can instigate moral concern as with the other forms of communication. Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

This sort of comparison also serves as a benchmarking tool. Due to the gap created, it is imperative to ascertain that the club is putting necessary efforts while establishing budget commitments to attaining the new desired level. Use of the symbolic automobiles to elucidate the strategic mission and vision statement of the club will result in a more modest agreement with regards to the clubs’ positioning after members of the board evaluate the projected costs. This gap directs members of the club to appraise its actual status rather than the ideal, and it demands for constructive participation by members ...

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a social reality occurring as physical, psychological or sexual abuse. Among women, and pregnant women in particular, prevalence varies by country and clinical setting but is recognized as a significant health problem. Risk factors are identified as age, socioeconomic status, minority status and marital status (Bailey, 2010). In gravid women, IPV has been associated with undesirable pregnancy outcomes arising from physical trauma, mental health issues, STD and genitourinary infections, as well as unfavorable health behaviors. To address IPV, universal screening coupled with zero tolerance policies has been recommended but current clinical practice varies across health care ...

In the entitled “white privilege: Unpacking the invisible Knapsack”, Maclntosh identifies the invisible advantages that the social system confers to the white population and other groups in the hierarchies. She likens this form of inequality in privileges to the kind of discrimination and inequality that exist between the male and female gender. According to Maclntosh, discrimination against women by men is a result of both individual denial by men to recognize the fact they are over privileged and the cultural setting in which the society teaches men not to recognize such inequalities and discrimination.
Maclntosh points out that through ...

Multiculturalism is a subject that we're still trying to understand. The term multiculturalism refers to "a body of thought in political philosophy about the proper way to respond to cultural and religious diversity. Mere toleration of group difference is said to fall short of treating members of minority groups as equal citizens; recognition and positive accommodation of group differences are required through 'group-differentiated rights'" (Song, 2010). What seems clear through an analysis of these studies is that concepts of race, ethnicity, and culture support Gardner's concepts of multiple intelligences and refuse Spearman's ideas of general intelligence.

In "Paradigm Lost: Race, Ethnicity, ...

There are multiple definitions of racism as well as different perspectives. According to the oxford dictionary, racism is an advanced set of attitude that involves resentment based on the superiority of a particular group or an individual towards other supposed inferior groups or persons. Racism is solely premised on either the skin color or racial affiliation. In that sense, racism is relatively high in numerous educational institutional and is a real issue that consistently hits numerous social networks.

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a medical disorder in which cancer causes an unusual quantity of fluid to accumulate between thin layers of tissue lining (pleura) in the outside of the lung as well as the wall of the chest cavity. An important cause of MPE is lung adenocarcinoma, but it has a poor prognosis. In the last few decades, cancer epigenetics have helped a lot in biomarker development (Liloglou, Bediaga, Brown, Field, & Davies, 2014), and epigenetic changes such as those caused by environmental exposures, diet, hormones, stress, or aging are found to be associated with human neoplasia, but ...

This article provides a comprehensive review of the article by Lin (2002). This article addresses how media portrays racism and its influence to lifestyle and health. A sociological approach to the problem of racism is applied, arguing that the society needs to understand the different forms of racism, biological origin of racism, and its meaning in the society. Therefore, sociological concepts such as ethnocentrism, race, and ethnicity can vastly influence media’s perception on racism. The three concepts have different meanings, but are all related and can influence health practitioner’s ability to evaluate media’s coverage of racism issues. ...

1. Introduction
African Americans represent the second largest ethnic minority in the United States and this community is increasingly vulnerable to a range of potential health concerns. Poor sanitary conditions and limited awareness of healthy lifestyle practices increase this population’s vulnerability to health problems. Statistical evidences suggest that the prevalence rate of HIV infection is unproportionately high in this population group, and hence federal organizations like CDC are actively working on this issue. This paper will explore the relationship between HIV infection and the African American population considering the social, cultural, and behavioral factors contributing to this association.

Introduction

In the “Health Disparities Between Appalachian and Non-Appalachian Counties in Virginia USA,” the authors examine health disparities among people living in Appalachian counties compared to those in other counties. This paper finds the authors’ research compelling, their views intelligent and most importantly worth consideration.

Summary

The communities in Appalachia have inadequate health care resources. This has been associated to lack of specialty care providers in the area. Ironically the utilization of the health resources is low even when they are available. This is possibly due to lack of insurance services, inadequate funds for payments or simply related to Appalachian culture ...
