1.
Identify and describe
an issue of inequity that you have observed while at
placement, volunteering somewhere or placement of employment in the field. (worth
3 marks)
My grandma broke her hip and had Alzheimer's disease. We decided to put her in a
nursing home since we lacked the staff or means to take care of her all day. In one of
the nursing homes, we tried to put her on the waiting list, but they rejected us because
they only accepted catholic religious seniors.
2.
State on all
three levels
, one way that this issue can be challenged at on a
(a)
personal
level (worth 2 marks),
(b)
professional level (worth 2 marks) and
(c)
global level
(worth 2 marks).
(worth 6 marks in total)
a)
You should never judge others based on my own perceptions and by their
appearance. Everybody deserves to be respected and no is superior or inferior anyone.
All of us should be treated with equality.
b)
We weren't treated fairly, and it wasn't professional. They failed us professionally and
discriminated against us based on our religion, which was unethical from a
professional standpoint.
c)
In Ontario, nursing homes are funded by the government. Since it is a government-
funded organization, so it shouldn't violate human rights. It is taxpayer's money, and
everybody should be treated equally not based on religion. This applies not just to
Ontario but to the rest of the world.
3.
What would be
two
possible impacts on society if this issue becomes obsolete
(meaning gone from society, no longer an issue of inequity)? You must describe this
in detail in order to get full marks. (worth 4 marks)
There won't be any more racial discrimination, which is one effect on society. There
won't be any more racial profiling, no more skin color discrimination, and no more
black people dying as a result. Everyone will be treated equally. No one will refer to a
black man as a black man or a white man as a white man, and no one will notice the
color difference.
The second reason, everyone will be more accepting of religion. For instance, the
nursing home turned us away because we are not Catholic, but that won't happen
anymore because they now welcome all religions. Also, there will be fewer problems
at institutions because of religion.
We will all be exposed to different religious points
of view. Religion won't become an issue anymore. There won't be people thinking
that this religion is superior and another religion inferior.
