When studying the health care provided at alpha hospital in new york city, anthropologist khiara bridges documented health-care professionals referring to black women as “primitive” and stating that black women were better able to withstand pain than white women. where did these attitudes originate?

These attitudes originated in an oral tradition within the medical profession with stories and folklore about the bodies of black women.

Explanation:

For many years, the bodies of black women have been the target of absurd and folkloric stories. These stories have been spread around the world and in every sector that makes up society, affirming unabated, incorrect, and unrealistic ideas.

An example of this was shown by anthropologist Khiara Bridges who documented health professionals referring to black women as "primitive" and stating that they are more resistant to pain than white women. These statements were based on folkloric stories, fictional and that spread an absurd prejudice and harmful to the treatment of black women.

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (b) communication skills);

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
