Review two conceptual (not empirical research) articles or a book chapter you read in your Area of Specialized Practice concerning African Americans. Use the articles or book chapter to discuss your “takeaway” from an African American trail blazer as you run with the torch. Your discussion must include the following concepts: social, economic, and environmental justice; inequitable opportunities; societal disengagement, for African Americans and other individuals; housing; health; classism; sexism; disability; violence, and other social problems and issues. “take away” refers to:
“Knowledge- what is learned, understood or aware of. “
“Values -service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, competence, human rights, and scientific inquiry are among the core values of the profession. These values underpin the explicit and implicit curriculum and frame the profession’s commitment to respect all people and the quest for social and economic justice.”
“Skills-the ability, coming from one’s knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well.”
Cognitive/Affective Processes- include demonstration of strong critical thinking skills, professional reaction and judgement.
