Initial Post
In 200–250 words, construct a scenario or example of an error that would result in harm to a patient for your initial post. This scenario or example can be something you have witnessed or a hypothetical example of a sentinel event. DO NOT post the same scenario or example as a peer.

Response Prompts
Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts in a substantive manner. Use the response prompts to guide your content.

How did organizational influence, unsafe supervision, etc. cause this error to happen?
How will you avoid making such an error in the future?

How community planning impacts social change

Posted on | by

Discuss a current event that exemplifies how community planning impacts social change and vice versa. For instance, the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin case can be considered a call for social change; it illustrates how community planning can impact community policing and how community policing policy affects social change. Also, mass shootings in schools, social gatherings can be considered a call for social change, and many more.

· In discussing your event, explain the community planning changes made due to the event. How does your example illustrate a call for social change?

1. With the use of the video, Race: The Power of Illusion, and Racism by Miles & Brown (2003), explain the social construction of race through the numerous phases (religion, politics, science, IQ, etc). You must explain the transition from one phase to another, leading to our current understanding of race.

2. Examining the view of race as a biological deficiency in Miles & Brown (2003), explain how this view to race is present in the frames of colorblind racism by Bonilla-Silva (2001).

3. We often hear the saying “People of color cannot be racist”. Explain how racism as a collective concept is related to political, social, and economic power as well as inequality and oppression. Additionally, explain the role of discrimination and prejudice among people of color.

4. Explain Institutional Racism from Miles & Brown (2003) and connect this to the numerous institutions at play in the video, A Dangerous Idea: The History of Eugenics in America.

5. Using Bonilla-Silva (2001), explain the “toolkit” and how it is connected to colorblind frames, storylines, and styles. Who uses this “toolkit”? How do they learn about what goes in the “toolkit”?

6. We know that race is a social construct. Explain what this means in connection to the development of colorblind racism by Bonilla-Silva (2001).
