...In her non-fiction book Medical Apartheid, Harvard scholar Harriet Washington, developed the term medical apartheid. Washington defined medical apartheid as the intentional separation and discrimination of persons based on their race or ethnicity the chance and right to receive qualified professional and well-intentioned medical treatment and healthcare (Washington, Harriet).

...Social Problems in Societies It does not take an expert to realize how much societies are marred with many social problems that distraught the lives of many individuals, especially the low income and poor majority who live in slums and gang-infested areas always in fear of what may come upon them whenever they go to sleep. Societies have greedy leaders who, despite having knowledge of the problems facing members of their constituencies, do very little in helping the very people who voted them into power. Some of the social problems facing societies include: crime, poverty, high number of illiterate people, poor sanitation, increase in slum dwellings, drug abuse and prostitution, just to name a few of the worst social problems. Law enforcers face a difficult task in trying to maintain peace and security in the society to no avail. Houses are being broken into, women and girls raped, while people get robbed with violence while in their homes. The police number is currently at one policeman per 2000 civilians, making it a daunting task helping all these people (McCollister, French, & Fang, 2010). The police have become corrupt due to their meager pay making them collude with criminals so as to have a share of lootings. On top of crime, one of the worst problems is poverty that has ravaged the society with people having very little to live on. Poverty is definitely one of the reasons why crime has increased as it has become very difficult to find formal employment...

...“Identities, after all, refer to relatively stable and often economically entrenched social arrangement. Such social arrangement can change and when they do, available identities will change along with them” (Moya, 2004 p.47). In my view, this quote has dual implications, first is that identity is socially construed and secondly identity does not have to be static. This implies that as scholars and educators we need to understand and value changing identities as well as cultural diversity. This is because identity is instrumental to knowledge production and dissemination. Understanding and valuing multiple and changing identities promotes exploring the uniqueness of each culture and identity while at the same time encouraging multidimensional...

...Many organizations past and present are introducing workplace learning into their daily operations to support and accommodate changes faced during economic, social, and political change. Organizations that are able to learn from the environment, adapt to changes that arise, and maintain the overall competitiveness within the market are considered learning organizations. When exploring the question “the concept of learning organizations is based on firm foundations”, it is essential to analyze the circumstances in which it primarily exists. According to Bratton, Helms-Mills, Pyrch and Sawchuk (2004), continuous learning is “a key element of the learning organization” (p. 85). With continuous learning, employers and employees are able to maintain a competitive advantage by keeping up with the trends and changes within the environment. In order to remain invested and involved with markets and competition, a level of ongoing development must occur, leading to the introduction of the learning organization as a remedy to change. To adapt to changes, organizational learning is the process in which the learning principles are applied to the learning organization. “Organizational learning is focused on learning in the organization” whereas a learning organization “centers on learning for the organization” (Bratton et al., 2004, p. 83). In brief, organizational learning contributes to the establishment of a learning organization. Among literature discussing the principles of learning...

...What is a Learning Organization? by Moya K. Mason Introduction Learning organizations are not simply the most fashionable or current management trend, they can provide work environments that are open to creative thought, and embrace the concept that solutions to ongoing work-related problems are available inside each and every one of us. All we must do is tap into the knowledge base, which gives us the "ability to think critically and creatively, the ability to communicate ideas and concepts, and the ability to cooperate with other human beings in the process of inquiry and action (Navran Associates Newsletter 1993). A learning organization is one that seeks to create its own future; that assumes learning is an ongoing and creative process for its members; and one that develops, adapts, and transforms itself in response to the needs and aspirations of people, both inside and outside itself ( Navran Associates Newsletter 1993). What learning organizations do is set us free because employees no longer have to be passive players in the equation; they will learn to express ideas and challenge themselves to contribute to an improved work environment by participating in a paradigm shift from the traditional authoritarian workplace philosophy to one where the hierarchy is broken down, and human potential is heralded. Learning organizations foster an environment wherein people can "create the results they truly desire," and where they can learn to learn together...

...preserve our lives and keep us healthy. Little sister’s actions reflected a natural process when her hands flew up to defend herself from the death-inducing, dis-ease causing strikes and throws of the officer. To claim that little sister’s “resistance” was grounds for her being dehumanized in such a manner is irrational. The issue with her “resistance” is that the officer felt or perceived that her non-compliance was challenging and undermined his so-called power. Therefore, because his ego was bruised, he retaliated on her. But perhaps little sister’s resistance to being separated and isolated from the class is an indicator that we need to implement different ways of disciplining and engaging children. Resistance is the inner working of the Moya, or the Spirit. Resistance is the enduring legacy of freedom. Resistance is the agitation that bucks up against ...
