In this part of my work I will be talking about the ways which discrimination is within a health and social care setting. I will be describing the following ways which will be culture, disability, age, race, cognitive ability, social class, gender, sexuality, health status, and also the family structure and status. I will try to describe each one and give an example of how it happens within a health and social care situation.
Culture is something which customs arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social groups. People may be discriminated against because of their culture this is because some cultures and religious groups. This may be because of them not learning about other cultures and religions as they were growing up or just for the simple fact of them not wanting to know about a different culture apart from their own. An example of this in a health and social care setting would be if a girl who is a Muslim they may want to wear a hijab whilst at school this then promotes their culture. Their school may discriminate against them by saying that they are not allowed to wear this as they are not in school uniform. Although they are not allowed to promote their culture they may be discriminated against as they may see other children wearing the cross or other cultural pieces of clothing or other items which promotes their culture. This is an example of infringement of rights and also prejudice this is because not allowing the girl to wear the hijab makes them feel as if their rights are not being taken into account and that their culture is not being respected. This may also be prejudice as not many girls wear their hijab within a school and they may feel singled out and out of place as they are unable to wear their traditional cultural clothing this may be because other people may not feel comfortable around girls or women who wear them.
