WEEK 2 ASSIGNMENT: SOCIAL JUSTICE Discussion Board Questions: For this week's discussion, after reading the above articles, answer the following questions. Please use the attached articles 1. As presented in the Grace and Willis (2012) article, what is the relationship between nursing goals and social justice? How is the concept of distributive justice related to social justice? Explain Power and Faden's model of social justice, including the six dimensions of well-being in the model. Does the example of child abuse provided in the article assist in understanding the theory's application to nursing? 2. Ruin et al, (2021) provide a review of intersectionality theory.

Choose a historical figure in nursing, other than Florence Nightengale. Provide a brief summary of their life, and identify how this person specifically exemplified the concepts of social justice and health equity.
WHAT TO DO How do you assess violence against women in most artifacts of pop culture? How does consuming this violence affect you? Can you think of examples in which pop culture itself turns the violence on the consumer and implicates the consumer in the violence (such as the scene in The Fall when Paul Spector turns the camera on himself and asks, "Why are you watching this?")? How do you assess the antisemitism in Agatha Christie? Is her use of stereotypes a critique of antisemitism or is it antisemitic in itself?
Choose two of the following topics and construct an essay on each (two essays in total). You must use proper essay format (introduction, body, and conclusion when you can). However, due to the nature of this exam you will not necessarily be graded on spelling, punctuation, or sentence structure. That said, the answers need to be at least a little bit legible as I cannot grade what I cannot read. All information including examples must be from course materials (lectures, videos, and all other resources given). Each essay will be equally weighted at 10 marks each (20 marks in total). 1. Outline and explore how poverty is understood and measured in Canada. What are the benefits and drawbacks of how this is done? Give examples. 2. It can be argued that racism may be a product of our Justice system. Explore and explain what this means in detail. Give examples. 3. Define and outline the major theories discussed, including pros and cons. Give examples. 4. What are the "social problems" that poverty can exacerbate? Give examples.

Because leadership is manifested through the active pursuit of learning, leaders typically pursue these goals by attending seminars, enlisting the support of a coach, and reading the latest books. However, an often-missing piece of one's leadership development is the cultivation of the skills needed to advance the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. There is a dearth of research on this topic and limited examples of evidence-based practices. By default, diversity and inclusion have been made into a buzzwords and catchy slogans. They are viewed as being only in the purview of a "Diversity and Inclusion Committee" and the responsibility of the "Chief Diversity Officer." In fact, today's diversity and inclusion work requires organizational mission alignment, clear vision integration, strategic planning, commitment, accountability, and resource allocation that involves the entire team. The key leader of each respective organization, however, remains the main conductor on this journey. This is of critical importance because this work should be integrated throughout the entire organization, from human resources to client management. Diversity tends to be defined simply as a conglomeration of people from different backgrounds. Or it is a declaration manifested by stating "you are welcome" through policy statements and colorful posters. This circular reasoning fosters logical fallacies: You should feel welcomed because "I" (the organization leader) say "you are welcome." For many organizations, diversity and inclusion may begin simply with representation, by bringing a woman's or maybe a person of color's perspective to the table. Often, this is seen as the first step in creating a melting-pot recipe of ideas, thoughts, and perspectives. Cultural assimilation is the broth and diverse individuals are the ingredients. Simmer on low for two or three years, and diversity will miraculously emerge. The challenge with cooking stews, however, is that the flavors are all absorbed into the broth, which means each employee is not valued for his or her unique contributions and individual attributes. Is this diversity? Another metaphor is the mixed salad, with each person representing a distinct vegetable, be it a crisp carrot, a vibrant beet, or lush romaine lettuce. Then, the magic occurs when the salad is doused with a dressing and all flavors become one-ranch, French, or a light balsamic vinaigrette. Once again, the dressing of choice masks the complexity and the very essence of diversity and inclusion. This still leaves us begging the question: Is this diversity? And where is the inclusion?/nUnconscious bias can be challenged through a process of critical reflection. This starts by looking introspectively. I refer to this as the process of putting up a mirror to see yourself clearer. Tools such as the IAT and the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) can aid you on this journey of self-discovery. Introspection should also include hunting hegemonic assumptions. As defined by Italian political economist Antonio Gramsci, hegemony is a "process whereby ideas, structures, and actions that benefit a small minority in power are viewed by the majority of people as wholly natural, preordained, and working for their own good" (cited in Stephen Brookfield, Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher, Second Edition, 2017). Hegemonic assumptions are assumptions that we think are in our own best interests but that actually work against us in the long run, according to leadership scholar Dr. Stephen Brookfield (ld.). This keeps our imagination bound in terms of this is the way things are versus this is the way things could be. Applying these concepts to diversity and inclusion, the workplace could and should be a place where individuals can unveil their gifts and talents in meaningful and productive ways without the impediments manifested through biases and stereotypes. WHAT ARE MICROAGRESSIONS? A micro aggression can be manifested in a myriad of subtle ways and is pervasive in nature. According to Dr. Derald Wing Sue, "microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership" (Microaggressions in Everyday Life: Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation, 2010). Dictionary.com defines microaggression as: "a subtle but offensive comment or action directed at a minority or other nondominant group that is often unintentional or unconsciously reinforces a stereotype." Microaggressions can be manifested through remarks that are perceived to be sexist, racist, odious, or offensive to a marginalized social group. These negative remarks can have a profoundly negative effect by diminishing the value and humanity of an individual and/or group. In the workplace, this can negatively impact work performance and team dynamics. Microaggressions also can have a detrimental impact on customers and clients, hence dwindling the potential of successful customer service and engagement. HOW TO ADDRESS MICROAGGRESSIONS Addressing microaggressions requires a multifaceted approach. Leaders can initiate this process by: challenging the microaggression when it occurs; reframing the narrative by embracing differences as an asset and strength; creating opportunities for a robust exchange of ideas - a foundation for innovation; and/n
