As Nakayama Martin and Flores (2002) point out, white adults and especially “white children do not need to attend to the norms and value of minority groups unless they have direct exposure in their neighborhoods and schools. Minority children, however, are exposed to and compare themselves to [the dominant] white cultural norms through television, books, and other media (p. 103). Whereas white people can act without knowledge or sensitivity to cultures customs in a white society. Minority groups are rapidly disciplined for failing to observe white cultural norms. Consider these findings with particular reference to the ways in which the “dominant” or “preferred” cultural identifiers are usually taken for granted and invisible. This means you need to think about the ways in which the powerful people in society are not called upon to explain themselves.” Note that it is for examples, LGBT members of our society are called upon to “justify” their behavior, not heterosexuals that it is women whose promiscuous sexual behavior is subject to negative comments, not men’s (compare use of the word slut with use of the word player): and so on.

Following an industrial accident, two patients arrived at the emergency room of that hospital at the same time, presenting with very similar inhalation injuries. The hospital received a great deal of negative press due to how the patients were triaged in the ER.

The other is Brent Damascus, a 58-year-old man. Brent is presenting with respiratory difficulties with the same intensity as Mr. Jeffers above. He is well known at the hospital emergency room, as he is a frequent visitor with various complaints, including asthma, headaches, and tremors. He is homeless, unemployed, and uninsured. He stays many nights at the YMCA and eats lunch at the soup kitchen. He has lived in the community for over 10 years and has been arrested several times for petty theft.
