Shadowing and interning in healthcare settings in rural, lower-SES India involved being in close quarters with subpar mental healthcare. While shadowing at the National Institute for the Mentally Handicapped in New Delhi, India, a government-run psychiatric facility, I was faced with an extremely unsettling and overwhelming situation. On a hot June afternoon, a family brought in their deaf 5-year-old daughter in for a diagnosis, since she was struggling with communication. For the appointment, the
Living in the the US versus living in the Congo or Morocco, you’d have different lifestyles. David Sedaris living in the US and his friend Hugh living in the Congo in “Remembering My Child on the Continent of Africa”. Mernissi with her experience in the US in a retail store and her experience back home in “Size 6:The Westerns Womens Harem”.

Fitzgerald tries to represent Nick’s social class through geography and setting in chapter one. Throughout this chapter we see Nick’s money driven and hypocritical personality. When describing his new place Nick says he is “squeezed between two huge places” and how he has “the consoling proximity of millionaires.” Living between these two mansions portrays Nick’s social class compared to the people around him. The fact that he is being “squeezed” shows us how suffocated he feels trying to keep up

As Carly Fiorina stated, “If someone believes they are limited by their gender, they will become more limited.” This was particularly true in 1940s America, where women were expected to be wives and mothers, nothing more. Men on the other hand were the providers and had the responsibility of supporting their household. In A Streetcar Named Desire, Tennessee Williams analyzes these strict gender roles of the 1940s. Williams uses the characterization of Blanche and Stella to highlight the forced dependence
In efforts to draw a reliable conclusion about whether factors, such as a defendants’ race or ethnicity, directly contribute to prosecution and sentencing, the City University of New York conducted a study. As with other studies, the outcome of their research found similar results to that of the aforementioned studies. Using the data from the New York County District Attorney’s Office, which kept records of 185,275 diverse criminal cases, the study assessed racial and ethnic disparities for discretions
The topic of race has been an ongoing controversy for the past decades, however some perspectives on race are starting to change. The U.S. has become more and more diversified in race, but the idea of a post-racial generation still cease to exist. Millennials, as we call them, are those of ages 18-33, but there’s something a special about this generation. They are seen as the country’s most racially tolerant and diverse generation in history.

Joshua Stroh Associate Dean Vike POLS-265 6th October, 2015 Civic Health Assessment Report There are different views on the condition of civil health in the United States. The facts lead some to say we are in a crisis that needs to be solved before a catastrophe happens, but others merely think that there isn’t a problem there is just a change in the way we all are involved. There may be reasons for both arguments. The truth is that facts show that the younger citizens aren’t as civically engaged
What is privilege? What is the definition of privilege and who decides the definition? When googling the exact definition, the answer that I received was as follows: “A special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.” This definition can be perceived in many different ways. Privilege cannot be defined by itself because the very principle of privilege is solely opinion based. With this in mind, another question arises. How does this idea of
Rebellion is a very popular notion in pop culture. So many young adult novels are using this trope as the central driving point of the stories. In turn, the movie industry makes book-to-movie adaptations about a single hero rebelling against society or a higher power. But rebellion is not just a fad.
