week 14

The three macrolevel factors are Historical Trauma, National Context, and Societal and Institutional Discrimination. While two of the microlevel factors are Interpersonal Discrimination and Microaggressions. Some of the outcomes for trauma is a sense of hopelessness, insecurity and alienation. And these feelings can definitely lead up to those MENA Americans to have their hopes and dreams live within the US be crushed by confusion and a sense of lost. They also could feel social exclusion because their culture might be highly different from the ones in the US so there would be a culture shock. In the  video "Coming Of Age As A Muslim Girl In America", Dalya talks about how she has been questioned about her religion and why she dressed the way she dressed. It demonstrates that culture shock not only to Dalya but to the people around her. People judged based on her background and it's hurtful because what is being said. Something that really struck me is when she said, " It's not the pain hasn't gone, I just learned how to live with it." This also aligns with the TedTalk video of Dalia. The article speaks about wanting to come to the Americans for better lives and Dalia also speaks about how they also want jobs, to live in peace, and want prosperity for their families.  They speak about how they're just as human and ordinary and not an exception. The young girl in the Syrian refugee video has a lot of hope for the future. Though she misses her family and friends back home she believes good life should be for all.

In lecture, it was said that depending on the race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and health disparities vary. For example, in the COVID-19 pandemic, African Americans are more likely to have greater risk in health due to the racism that lives within the health care system. In the article, "Racism is a Serious Threat to the Public's Health," they state that, "racial and ethnic minority groups experience higher rates of illness and deaths across a wide range of health conditions" (CDC, 2021). Low-income black communities are often situated near hazardous areas that...

  How is discrimination against neurodiverse individuals institutionalized? How is this similar to systemic racism?  Discrimination against neurodiverse individuals is institutionalized because they are placed in a group where people are going to say, “Oh you are on the spectrum so you must be like A B or C.” Individuals who are neurodiverse often don’t have their needs accommodated to in the world. For instance, there were a set of kids who had to be pulled out of class during reading time to read with another adult at their own pace because of the fact the school believed they would slow the other kids down due to them being on a different level. It’s implementing that neurodiverse individuals aren’t able-bodied to due things on their own. This is similar to systemic racism because with that you also have that group of individuals, for instance people of color, grouped in the system that makes them more vulnerable to threats or discrimination due to them not looking a certai...
