The Potential Effects of Discrimination
Task 3 P3 - The potential effects of discrimination
There are lots of potential effects related to discrimination. It includes things like disempowerment, low self-esteem and self-identity and also marginalisation. I am now going to explain these effects and connect them with a case study.
Disempowerment is when a person or group of people may be made to feel less powerful or confident. Some people may try to fight against the discrimination causing an argument but many people do not and they lose the will to fight against it. As a result of this type of discrimination, they may then become depressed and feel devalued as well as disempowered. This could lead to health issues and may lead to them taking tablets which would make them more depressed because it makes them think they have a medical condition.
Low self-esteem and self- identity is when discrimination can lead to people losing their self-worth or self-esteem. Some vulnerable people may already have low self-esteem before using a health and social care setting. This could be due to bullying or other types of discrimination such as racism, sexism, ageism etc. A person may have a negative self-identity. This can lead to a feeling of worthlessness and depression. They may become withdrawn and isolate themselves within their home to make them feel like they are alone and that no one is there for them too.
Marginalisation is when people may feel they are not part of the main group in society and may feel like they are left out. This can happen when people in the group feel that they are ‘different’ because of the person they are. It could be due to their race, religion, age, language, sex etc.
All of these things can lead to restricted opportunities and may lead to them not using the health and social care provision. They may begin to feel that they cannot access services and this could lead to them not receiving the health care they need. If they are not treated with the care, it may lead to a poorer
