Download or read book Attitudes of High School Students Toward Three Selected Ethnic Groups as Affected by Participation in an Ethnic Studies Program written by Miriam Weitz Orzech and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine whether taking a course of study about ethnic minorities and racial prejudice in the United States would produce a statistically significant change in the attitudes of white, middle-class high school students toward three ethnic minorities i. e., Blacks, Native Americans, and Chicanos. An additional purpose was to determine whether an extended and in-depth contact with a number of ethnic minority teachers would have the effect of changing students' racial attitudes in the direction of lessened prejudice. A special Thurstone type attitude inventory was administered to groups of white high school students at the beginning and end of an 18 week school term. The control group, consisting of 118 students, chose to enroll in the regular 11th grade United States history course. A total of 91 experimental group students chose to enroll in a two-part course consisting of a first 9 week class called The Nature of Prejudice, and a second 9 week class in either Black Studies or Native American Studies. The distinguishing characteristic of all experimental classes was that a team of ethnic teachers (students at the local University) participated as equals with the regular high school teachers in all classroom activities. It was hypothesized that the attitudes towards minorities of the two self-selected groups would be the same at the beginning of the experiment, and that neither the special classes nor the U.S. history class would have any effect on the attitudes of either experimental or control group students. The data which resulted from the pretest and posttest scores on the attitude inventory were analyzed by applying t-tests, paired t-tests and one-way analysis of variance at the .05 level of significance. Analysis of the data revealed the following: 1. The scores of both experimental and control group students indicated a positive attitude toward the three ethnic minorities. 2. Native Americans were regarded most positively by both experimental and control group students. 3. Experimental group students were significantly more positive in their attitudes toward minorities before the experiment began than were control group students. 4. Attitudes of experimental group students toward ethnic minorities became slightly less positive after students had completed the special course. The change was not statistically significant and the total score remained definitely positive vis-a-vis ethnic minorities. 5. Attitudes of control group students toward ethnic minorities were unaffected by the course in United States history.
Download or read book Unequal Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.

Download or read book Germans or Foreigners Attitudes Toward Ethnic Minorities in Post Reunification Germany written by R. Alba and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-01-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines contemporary attitudes towards ethnic minorities in Germany. These minorities include some of immigrant origin, such as Italians, Turks, and asylum seekers, and the principal non-immigrant minority, Jews. While the findings demonstrate that intense prejudice against minorities is not widespread among Germans, many of whom in fact can be considered immigrant- and minority-friendly, a crystallization of attitudes is also evident: that is, attitudes towards immigrants are strongly correlated with anti-Semitism and with other worldview dimensions, such as positioning in the left-right political spectrum. In this sense, the fundamental question of whether immigrants and other minorities should be regarded as fellow citizens or ethnic outsiders remains relevant in the German context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book progressively works out a method of constructing models which can bridge the gap between empirical and theoretical research in the social sciences. It aims to improve the explanatory power of models. The issue is quite novel, and has benefited from a thorough examination of statistical and mathematical models, conceptual models, diagrams and maps, machines, computer simulations, and artificial neural networks.

Download or read book Education and Racism written by Louk Hagendoorn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book gives an inventory of factors contributing to ethnic prejudice in seven countries and the role of formal education among them on the basis of national surveys. It appears that education is crucial in all the countries surveyed and contributes to more tolerant views of ethnic and national minorities in Western European countries, Poland and the United States. The positive effects of education, however, do not always counter the negative effects of personality characteristics and conservative values on ethnic prejudice. Moreover, the negative effects of less formal education may be reinforced by perceived economical competition of ethnic minorities and thereby further bolster prejudiced views of the less educated. This indicates that formal education alone is not sufficient to change prejudiced views. Other forms of socialization transmitting values leading to open-mindedness and the ability to secure one's economic position have to support the positive effects of formal education as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is rapidly transforming into one of the most racially and ethnically diverse nations in the world. Groups commonly referred to as minorities-including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska Natives-are the fastest growing segments of the population and emerging as the nation's majority. Despite the rapid growth of racial and ethnic minority groups, their representation among the nation's health professionals has grown only modestly in the past 25 years. This alarming disparity has prompted the recent creation of initiatives to increase diversity in health professions. In the Nation's Compelling Interest considers the benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity, and identifies institutional and policy-level mechanisms to garner broad support among health professions leaders, community members, and other key stakeholders to implement these strategies. Assessing the potential benefits of greater racial and ethnic diversity among health professionals will improve the access to and quality of healthcare for all Americans.
