Religion, Identity, and Inclusion

Author By Academic Wizard Categories Blog

Religion, Identity, and Inclusion

Take a day or a week in your present life and list all things tied to religion. These can include religious structures in your neighborhood, religious or spiritual study groups, saying prayers before meals, the pledge of allegiance, cultural festivities, social media messages, or tv shows and movies with religious connotations. What do you observe? Is it a picture of religious diversity? Do you or people in your social settings practice religious tolerance or religious inclusivity? Explain with specific examples.

(USLO 8.1)

Religion, Identity, and Inclusion

In the U.S., which religions are socially privileged, and which are not? Discuss reasons behind religious privilege and how it impacts people belonging to faiths that are in the minority? Provide examples of individual and institutional forms of religious and spiritual oppression that people experience in the U.S. And list a few social outreach efforts to help diminish religious persecution and provide a sense of community to adherents of all religions.

(USLO 8.2)  Religion, Identity, and Inclusion

Prompt #3

After reading through the unit on religion and spiritual identities,

  • Has your perspective about them changed? If yes, how did it change; if not, why not? Explain.
  • Are you more comfortable conversing about belief systems that are different from your own? Elaborate.
  • Do you have any reservations to stand up as an ally for religious equity and inclusion? Reflect.

(USLO 8.3)

Prompt #4

What is a stereotype about your religion/spirituality/non-religion beliefs that upsets you, and why? If there are more than one, include them as well in your response. How would you explain your beliefs to others to educate people about the harmful effects of stereotyping?  Reflect on ways you can create a “safe place” for conversations on religion and spiritual identities different from your own.

(USLO 8.3)

Prompt #5

Why should workplaces, specifically healthcare providers/organizations, be knowledgeable about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of religion/spiritual/non-religion identities? Research at least two real-case scenarios in which an individual’s religion/spiritual/non-religion identity had detrimental effects on the person.  What steps would you take to prevent similar incidents from happening?

(USLO 8.2)  Religion, Identity, and Inclusion

  1. What happened in the 1987 NFL players’ strike and what was its impact on future labor relations and the “modern NFL”?,

  2. What did Dr. Omalu’s work on concussions reveal, and why did the NFL try to discredit him?,

  3. Why do team owners and city leaders support using public/tax money for stadiums and what are the arguments for and against it?,

  4. How has the NCAA used “amateurism” and the idea of the “student-athlete”?,

  5. What is ultimately at stake in debates over amateurism and labor rights in sports?

General Answers

1. The 1987 NFL Players’ Strike and the “Modern NFL”
The 1987 NFL strike was organized by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) in response to disputes over free agency, salaries, and job security. While the players initially attempted to stand together, the strike was undermined by the NFL’s use of replacement players, along with divisions among union members. This weakened the NFLPA’s bargaining position, and the strike eventually collapsed. However, the strike left an enduring mark on labor relations in the NFL. According to the November 5th article, it created the conditions for what we now know as the “modern NFL.” The reliance on television revenues and fans’ continued support of games—despite the strike and replacement players—shifted bargaining power toward owners and highlighted the commercial power of the league as a corporate brand rather than a collection of star athletes.

The difficulties players faced in organizing stemmed from unequal power dynamics, the short career span of many athletes, and financial pressure to return to work. Additionally, the lack of solidarity between veterans and younger players created fractures. These challenges underscored how difficult it was for professional athletes, despite their visibility, to leverage collective action against a billion-dollar institution with more structural resources.

 Sports and Inequality2. Dr. Omalu and the NFL’s Response
Dr. Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist, discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) while studying the brain of former NFL player Mike Webster. His research showed that repeated concussions and head trauma in football caused long-term neurological damage, including memory loss, depression, and dementia. Omalu’s findings directly challenged the NFL’s long-standing denial of the risks associated with concussions.

The NFL sought to discredit Omalu by undermining his credibility and rejecting his findings. League officials attempted to frame his work as flawed and dismissed it as inconclusive. Their motivation was clear: acknowledging the dangers of football would threaten the profitability of the sport, expose the league to liability, and potentially alienate fans. By attacking Omalu, the NFL was protecting its brand and financial dominance. However, the exposure of Omalu’s work in League of Denial eventually forced the issue into the public eye, reshaping the conversation around player safety and labor rights in sports.

3. Stadium Subsidies and Public Money
Owners and city leaders often argue that using public tax money for stadiums benefits the broader community by stimulating the local economy, creating jobs, and providing civic pride. A new stadium can serve as a centerpiece for urban development and attract additional investments in surrounding neighborhoods. Politically, city leaders often support stadium funding as a way to demonstrate commitment to economic growth and community engagement.

However, as highlighted in the reading and the documentary Throw a Billion Dollars from a Helicopter, the arguments against this practice are strong. Critics point out that the promised economic benefits rarely materialize; jobs are often temporary and low-paying, while the costs of stadium construction leave taxpayers with long-term financial burdens. Moreover, public funds are diverted from essential services like schools, housing, and infrastructure. The controversy highlights the inequality inherent in subsidizing billion-dollar franchises owned by private individuals while shifting the financial risk onto the public. This debate illustrates how sports, labor, and politics intersect around questions of fairness and reso  Sports and Inequality

  4. How does the current event connect to other current or past human rights issues/news/events?

Comprehensive General Response

1. Human Rights Implications
The mass expulsion of third-country nationals from Panama to the United States highlights ongoing tensions between migration control and international human rights protections. According to Human Rights Watch (2025), migrants—including vulnerable populations such as children and asylum seekers—are being deported without adequate due process or assessment of their protection needs. This expands our understanding of human rights by demonstrating the gap between formal human rights frameworks (such as the Refugee Convention and protections against collective expulsion) and their actual implementation on the ground.

In official discourse, migrant voices are often marginalized. The dominant narrative emphasizes state sovereignty and border security rather than migrant dignity and protection. Human rights instruments acknowledge the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, but irregular migrants fall into legal grey zones where protections are inconsistently applied. To address these violations, both the U.S. and Panama could strengthen procedural safeguards: providing legal aid, individual asylum screenings, and international monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance with human rights obligations.

2. Lecture Connections
Lecture discussions emphasized how states often frame migration as a security issue rather than a rights issue (IS 16 Lecture, “Human Rights and Migration,” April 2025). The Panama expulsions illustrate this framing: migration is presented as a threat requiring mass removal rather than a humanitarian crisis. The lectures also noted the tension between individual and collective rights: states prioritize the collective interest of national security while downplaying the individual rights of migrants. This current event demonstrates the lecture’s point that “rights become conditional depending on the perceived legitimacy of the subject” (IS 16 Lecture, Week 8).

3. Reading Connections
This event aligns with several course readings:

  • In the Human Rights Article, the author critiques the way “human rights frameworks too often privilege the citizen-subject” (Author, year, p. xx). The expulsion of third-country nationals exemplifies this critique, since their non-citizen status renders them vulnerable to exclusion from rights discourse.

  • The Collective Rights reading argues that rights are not only individual but tied to communities (Author, year, p. xx). Migrants often travel in family units or communal groups, and their expulsions disrupt collective survival strategies. Recognizing collective rights would require states to protect them as groups, not just isolated individuals.

Comprehensive Response

1. What was your clinical experience for this week?
This week’s clinical experience focused on conducting a comprehensive women’s health visit, emphasizing preventive care, screening, and patient education. I participated in annual gynecologic exams, including history taking, physical assessments, and discussions about reproductive health, contraception, and lifestyle factors. This experience allowed me to integrate classroom knowledge with hands-on clinical practice, refining my ability to provide patient-centered, evidence-based care.

2. Did you face any challenges or successes?
One of the challenges was becoming comfortable with sensitive assessments such as pelvic and breast examinations, which require both technical skill and empathetic communication. Building patient trust during these exams was essential, especially when addressing potentially sensitive topics like sexual history or menstrual irregularities. A success was successfully establishing rapport with a patient, which allowed for a more open conversation about her contraceptive use and overall health goals.

3. What were the assessment, signs/symptoms, plan of care, and three differential diagnoses with rationales?
During one annual visit, the patient reported irregular menstrual cycles, occasional pelvic discomfort, and fatigue. On assessment, vital signs were stable, and pelvic examination was unremarkable except for mild adnexal tenderness. Laboratory workup, including a complete blood count and thyroid panel, was ordered.

  • Differential diagnoses: Women’s Health Clinical

    • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Supported by irregular menses and pelvic discomfort; common in reproductive-aged women.

    • Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroidism): Fatigue and irregular cycles can be linked to endocrine imbalance.

    • Iron-deficiency anemia: Fatigue and irregular bleeding patterns may indicate underlying anemia.

  • Plan of care: Order labs, schedule follow-up for results, discuss potential need for pelvic ultrasound, provide education on lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise, stress management), and initiate symptom tracking.

4. What health promotion intervention was provided for this patient?
The health promotion intervention included counseling on nutrition to support iron levels, physical activity to improve metabolic health, and contraceptive options to help regulate cycles. The importance of routine screening—such as Pap smears, mammograms, and STI testing—was emphasized. Patient education also covered safe sexual practices and the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight in relation to reproductive and cardiovascular health.

5. What did you learn that can benefit you as an advanced practice nurse, and how is the plan of care supported by guidelines?
This week reinforced the importance of holistic, patient-centered care that addresses physical, emotional, and preventive needs. I learned that communication is key to helping women feel empowered and involved in their health decisions. As an advanced practice nurse, I can use these skills to provide culturally competent, evidence-based care while advocating for preventive screenings. The plan of care was supported by current guidelines, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommendations on routine women’s health screenings and evidence-based practice for managing irregular menses and fatigue (Schuiling & Likis, 2022). Current literature also supports the integration of patient education and lifestyle modifications into management plans to enhance outcomes (Fitzgerald, 2017). Women’s Health Clinical

  3. What is the lasting impact of their initiatives today?,

  4. Why have their initiatives continued or evolved?,

  5. How do nurses and epidemiology shape population health today?

📝 Response (≈400 words)
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, nursing pioneers like Florence Nightingale and Lillian Wald laid the foundation for nursing advocacy that continues to influence healthcare today. Their work demonstrates the profound role nurses can play in shaping health policies, population health practices, and long-term outcomes.

Florence Nightingale, regarded as the founder of modern nursing, transformed military and civilian healthcare during the Crimean War by introducing hygiene, sanitation, and data-driven practices. Her advocacy for clean water, proper ventilation, and sanitary hospital conditions drastically reduced mortality rates among soldiers. More importantly, she used statistical evidence to influence British government policies, leading to widespread reforms in military and civilian hospitals. Nightingale’s emphasis on public health practices continues today through infection prevention protocols, nursing research, and the integration of evidence-based care in every healthcare setting.

Lillian Wald, founder of the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, advanced public health nursing in the early 1900s. Wald advocated for underserved immigrant communities by addressing not only clinical care but also housing, sanitation, and access to education. Her work resulted in school nursing programs and home health care services that improved community outcomes. Her advocacy also influenced the establishment of the Children’s Bureau in 1912, ensuring protection for vulnerable children. The continuity of her work is visible today in community health nursing, school health programs, and modern public health initiatives.

The endurance of these initiatives lies in their population-centered approaches. However, evolution has occurred through advances in technology, expanded roles of public health agencies, and a growing focus on health equity and social determinants of health. For instance, Wald’s emphasis on addressing poverty and housing as health issues has evolved into modern health policies addressing disparities through initiatives like Healthy People 2030.

In contemporary practice, nurses remain central to advancing population health. Two effective avenues include policy advocacy—by influencing laws and policies that improve access and quality of care—and community-based interventions, such as vaccination campaigns and chronic disease prevention programs. Nurses are trusted professionals uniquely positioned to connect with diverse populations and implement health strategies at the grassroots level.
