Describe a psychological health disparity among different ethnic minority groups

Describe a psychological health disparity among different ethnic minority groups. You can opt to examine a psychological disparity based on gender, sexuality, age, or nationality. Provide one example from the textbook here.

Don’t just say it is an example, tell the reader how your example illustrates a psychological health disparity by discussing how the prevalence of the disorder differs among groups, how the consequences of the disorder may differ among groups, or how access to treatment differs among groups.

 

B.  Provide a second example from any of supplementary sources listed above.

Again, don’t just say it is an example, tell the reader how your example illustrates a psychological health disparity by discussing how the prevalence of the disorder differs among groups, how the consequences of the disorder may differ among groups,  or how access to treatment differs among groups.

The Consequence-Intentionality Fallacy

Explaining the Consequence-Intentionality Fallacy with the use of an example. Would it be like I wanted to buy my husband a new watch but I didn’t have any money, so I gambled the house payment to buy the watch, and I lost?   would that be a good example?

What actions can be taken to avoid logical fallacies?
Do not: use false, fabricated, misrepresented, distorted or irrelevant evidence to support arguments or claims. intentionally use unsupported, misleading, or illogical reasoning. represent yourself as informed or an “expert” on a subject when you are not.
What are some real life examples of fallacies?
Example: “People have been trying for centuries to prove that God exists. But no one has yet been able to prove it. Therefore, God does not exist.” Here’s an opposing argument that commits the same fallacy: “People have been trying for years to prove that God does not exist.

The Tulane Traumatology Institute

Dr. Charles Figley, Director of the Tulane Traumatology Institute defines compassion fatigue as “a state experienced by those helping people or animals in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can create a secondary traumatic stress for the helper.”

Reflect upon what you do now, if anything, to offset the effects of compassion fatigue.

Create a chart in which you document taking ten minutes a day to care for yourself as referenced in the Ted talk. Include each day that you “took ten” that week, with the goal being every day. Record when you took the ten minutes and what you did in that frame of time to take care of yourself.

End of the week reflection: what was the experience of taking ten minutes a day like for you? Was it easy or difficult? Why? How did you select the “take 10” activities that you did? Do you feel the practice was beneficial? How so? Will you continue taking this time each day? 1 page in length.
