In personal stories, we can see how stereotypes impact the decisions individuals and communities make, and the effects those decisions have.
Shows how extremely impactful stereotyping is. #rvc3

"I often say that people experience stereotype threat several times a day," Steele goes on to say. "The reason is that we have a lot of identities – our gender, our race, our age. And about each one of those identities…there are negative stereotypes. And when people are in a situation for which a negative stereotype about one of their identities is relevant to the situation, relevant to what they’re doing, they know they could be possibly judged or treated in terms of that stereotype."
This is so unfortunate, but so true. This idea eliminates no one from not being stereotyped. #rvc3

This will create a powerful incentive for physicians to adhere to any treatment guidelines mandated by the government or by government-approved insurance plans.
The government is not filled with medical doctors, how can they decide what is best for the patient? #rvc4
-
Suppose you see your doctor for a severe headache. He examines you and says, “Nope, you don’t need an MRI scan. Take two Tylenol and call me in the morning.” Is he acting in your best interests? Or is he being inappropriately swayed by government practice guidelines intended to limit MRI usage?
I feel like these guidelines are not providing what is best for patients and should be revised. #rvc4

For example, Obamacare includes pilot programs to replace the current fee for service model with “bundled payments.” Hospitals and doctors would receive a fixed sum for treating a patient’s condition (e.g., pneumonia or stroke), regardless of what it costs the providers. If the hospital and doctors treat the patient for less than the bundle, they keep the excess. But if their costs exceed the bundled payment, they must absorb the loss
I can see how this would eliminate the desire to do unnecessary tests or surgery, but it just brings about another issue which is, not providing the best treatment needed for the patient #rvc4
-
Under Obamacare, doctors will face increasing incentives for undertreatment rather than overtreatment.
This is very alarming. Who would have thought that we would have to be cautious of this. #rvc4
-
“Do you have any financial interest in the lab you’re sending me to?” Or, “Do you have any financial incentives to use one manufacturer’s surgical hardware over another?”
But, they could very easily lie. Wouldn't the best thing to do be getting another opinion? #rvc4

do more procedures than necessary
This is not right. What about the Hippocratic Oath. #rvc4

“Doctors who have a financial interest in radiation treatment centers are much more likely to prescribe such treatments for patients with prostate cancer.”
There are many other forms of treatment to reduce or eliminate the existence of cancer in the prostate such as prostatectomy, cryosurgery, and hormone therapy. The effects of radiation are very taxing to the body and if the cancer is not completely eliminated, the quality of life for that patient can be very exhausting and painful. #rvc4
-
a recent study in the journal Radiology suggests that physicians order more unnecessary MRI tests when they have an ownership stake in the lab
Powerful logos! This is very unfortunate. #rvc4
-
but preferentially direct his patients to a lab where he has an ownership stake (even if an independent lab down the street is less expensive and more accurate).
I am sure this has been done since the beginning and it may not be a huge deal because it is not the doctors job to find their patients the best deal on lab work, however when the accuracy of the test is at stake, it becomes an issue. Doctors should be providing the best care that they possibly can. #rvc4
-
However, Obamacare creates new ethical conflicts for doctors
It is sad to see how this has caused doctors to forget the reason they chose their job in the first place. #rvc4
-
However, fee for service can also create perverse incentives for unnecessary medical treatments, just as a dishonest auto mechanic has a perverse incentive to recommend unnecessary repair work.
By comparing a doctor to an auto mechanic, Hsieh is making a very good point. A lot of people question the motives of auto mechanics, but almost never question doctors because it has to do with their own personal health, however that might not change the mindset of the doctor. #rvc4
-
But most patients trust that their doctor isn’t recommending unnecessary surgeries merely to line his pockets.
This is interesting and, I think, very true. We are always confident that our doctors all have what is best for the patient in mind, but doctors are human just like auto mechanics.

The major negative aspect of stereotypes is when they are persistent despite newly discovered facts, truth, information and knowledge. When stereotypes persist even after learning has taken place then we enter the territory of prejudice, bias, and discrimination.
But this seems to always be the case with stereotypes. This doesn't just happen on a rare occasion. Most people remain planted in their ways even when new evidence has surfaced. #rvc2

He just said that the weren't accurate. #rvc2

Stereotypes in many cases are insufficient ideas and beliefs about people and events.
Which is why they shouldn't be taken seriously. #rvc2

stereotypes are not entirely accurate
That's just it, they are not accurate. They don't have a strong enough base to formulate solid opinions and ideas. #rvc2

Our society is preoccupied with stereotypes and stereotyping when it comes to social interaction and the way we perceive others. This should lead us to some important considerations: In what ways can stereotyping be a helpful process? Can a stereotype be useful
He seems to be assuming that because stereotyping is so common it must be beneficial. With this being the base of the argument, it makes it very week. #rvc2
-
Indubitably, it is out of this profusion of diversity or differences that both our conflicts and misunderstandings emerge, and as social beings, in our quest to more fully appreciate and make sense of this, we imitate others, make assumptions, and draw conclusions even from brief and immature encounters thereby giving birth to stereotypes to fill the gaps in our knowledge of each other or each new situation.
Strong base of what stereotyping is. #rvc2

when we meet someone for the first time, we’ve likely formed multiple judgments—often without realizing we have done so—before our new acquaintance has even had a chance to speak a single word. We take a look, and we generalize based on what we know and what we’ve learned through past experience. It’s far easier than having to start fresh every single time.
Thesis: The explicit and targeted labels that we place on others will manifest in the victim of this insensitive and benighted act, causing these offenses to directly control the way in which they interact with others as well as many other pertinent avenues of their lives.
This is so true! We need to be more conscious of these actions and realize the pain that can be caused from this. #rvc1
-
But what is less commonly known—or at least considered—is that we apply the exact same process to ourselves, often without realizing we are doing it: how we think about our own selves is largely determined by how we think others think of us—how we are perceived, judged, and evaluated by the outside world
Thesis: The explicit and targeted labels that we place on others will manifest in the victim of this insensitive and benighted act, causing these offenses to directly control the way in which they interact with others as well as many other pertinent avenues of their lives.
This can cause us to believe in things that are not true which can lead to us not expecting as much as we could out of ourselves. #rvc1

Be in control of your habits of thinking. And realize that they apply to you just as they do to others, that they can effect not only your point of view, frame of reference, and general mindset, but also, your ability to perform to the best of your abilities and to live up to your own highest expectations – and not to the hypothetical expectations that the world might have of someone who fits a broad, stereotyped category that you just happen to fill in its mind.

-
that people cannot be trusted and are dangerous, that everyone hates cops,
This shows how strong stereotyping is. It only takes one person to voice their opinion and this label becomes almost impossible to lose.
-
cops became cold and stoic
Does this have to do with the way they are treated? Before, these men were known in their town as the baker, butcher, blacksmith etc. and now these officers don't have any other reputation than the one people see when they are seen using their disciplinary control.

Over time, Nhan says, some members of the community started to criticize this model as corrupt
Maybe this way wasn't the best way but did we really need to go all the way to the other extreme? There has to be a happy medium.

Such attitudes can cause rifts between police and the community they vow to serve and protect—especially when coupled with long-standing racial or social tensions.
So why isn't something done to change this?

Police departments, though, are adding more firepower and military gear than ever. Some, especially in larger cities, have used federal grant money to buy armored cars and other tactical gear
I feel like this would promote more people to commit a crime just to see to what extent they could go without being caught.

A quiet city of about 25,000 people, Neenah has a violent crime rate that is far below the national average. Neenah has not had a homicide in more than five years
Is it counterproductive to have such a strong defense in a city with minimal crime? Would this make citizens want to act out more against those that are limiting them more than is necessary?

Masked, heavily armed police officers in Louisiana raided a nightclub in 2006 as part of a liquor inspection

M-16 rifles, grenade launchers, silencers and more — are ending up in local police departments, often with little public notice.
Police departments should not have access to such destructive weapons. They are called weapons of war, not weapons discipline and that is the job of the police, to discipline.

There is no question that state and federal forfeiture programs have crippled powerful drug-trafficking organizations, thwarted an assortment of criminals and brought millions of dollars to financially stressed police departments
But is it right?
-
A 55-year-old Chinese American restaurateur from Georgia was pulled over for minor speeding on Interstate 10 in Alabama and detained for nearly two hours. He was carrying $75,000 raised from relatives to buy a Chinese restaurant in Lake Charles, La. He got back his money 10 months later but only after spending thousands of dollars on a lawyer and losing out on the restaurant deal. A 40-year-old Hispanic carpenter from New Jersey was stopped on Interstate 95 in Virginia for having tinted windows. Police said he appeared nervous and consented to a search. They took $18,000 that he said was meant to buy a used car. He had to hire a lawyer to get back his money. Mandrel Stuart, a 35-year-old African American owner of a small barbecue restaurant in Staunton, Va., was stunned when police took $17,550 from him during a stop in 2012 for a minor traffic infraction on Interstate 66 in Fairfax. He rejected a settlement with the government for half of his money and demanded a jury trial. He eventually got his money back but lost his business because he didn’t have the cash to pay his overhead.
Effective pathos!
-
But in 41 percent of cases — 4,455 — where there was a challenge, the government agreed to return money
This shows that they know that their actions are illegal.

A thriving subculture of road officers on the network now competes to see who can seize the most cash and contraband, describing their exploits in the network’s chat rooms and sharing “trophy shots” of money and drugs. Some police advocate highway interdiction as a way of raising revenue for cash-strapped municipalities.
This, to me, is very disappointing. Seeing as police officers have easy access to those that have a stained past or are currently struggling with something, I feel like they have a great opportunity to be a positive influence in these people's lives, rather than celebrating with "trophy shots" the struggles that they are facing.

For example, in research at Stanford University, black students performed worse than white students on a standardized achievement test when they were told that the test measured intelligence. But when the same test was simply presented as a problem-solving exercise, black students performed as well as white students. Changing the way the test was described changed black students' performance.

People who felt they were discriminated against -- whether based on gender, age, race or religion -- all experienced significant impacts even after they were removed from the situation, says Inzlicht. "These lingering effects hurt people in a very real way, leaving them at a disadvantage," says Inzlicht. "Even many steps removed from a prejudicial situation, people are carrying around this baggage that negatively impacts their lives."
Thesis: The explicit labels that we place on others will over time, directly control the way in which they interact with others
This proves the massive impact that stereotyping has on the victim. This does not only effect the way in which others view them, this effects their whole life because it provokes them to hold themselves to a lower standard causing them to not strive to accomplish all that their talent could allow them too. This, in turn, causes them to feel inadequate which leads to aggression to themselves as well as to those around them. #rvc190

"Even after a person leaves a situation where they faced negative stereotypes, the effects of coping with that situation remain," says Inzlicht. "People are more likely to be aggressive after they've faced prejudice in a given situation. They are more likely to exhibit a lack of self control. They have trouble making good, rational decisions. And they are more likely to over-indulge on unhealthy foods."

An obvious weak spot in his repertoire is the live performance, in the sense that he doesn’t have a library of classic performances like a Kanye or a Beyoncé
Does this then give the idea that he is not a good entertainer? I thought the writer's main idea was to show how the "unedited" Drake is better then the "patchwork of short clips" Drake.
-
unedited, for long periods of time
The unedited Drake allows for others to relate more effectively to him, making him seem more tangible and real. It also shows his real personality not necessarily a "cocky rapper" which you would deduce from his previous music videos.

It was as if sadness had killed George Bell.
The statement that confirms what has been questioned throughout the entire story.

For the recipients, George Bell had stepped out of eternity and united them by bestowing his money. No one in the drawn-out process knew why he had chosen them, nor did they need to.
How were these people chosen??

Death, though, isn’t social. It’s business. No need to have known someone to get his money.

He cleaned George Bell’s apartment wearing the dead man’s boots.
Does this seem like a lack of respect?
-
Gatherings from a life, all worth more than that $3 watch.
Powerful statement that portrays the idea that material things are only worth as much as you are willing to give for them. But that what we need to realize is that our lives do not measure up to what we own.
-
On a sun-kindled day a week later, six muscled men from GreenEx, a junk removal business, arrived to empty the cluttered Queens apartment. Dispassionately, they scooped up the dusty traces of George Bell’s life and shoveled them into trash cans and bags. They broke apart the furniture with hammers. Tinny music poured from a portable radio.
This statement shows that this is just an everyday occurrence, and that there is nothing unique about Mr. Bell's case. These men have the unfortunate, yet necessary job of cleaning out apartments of deceased people and getting them cleaned for the next renters. It is somewhat sad to see how easy it is for society to just move on after the life of someone was taken away, never to be seen on this earth again.

When people are labelled, they tend to rebel. They do not want to show how hurt or angry they are but might instead play on these perceptions as a way of getting back. They retreat into their own private world and push people away, accepting they are social rejects.

Categorical labeling is a tool that humans use to resolve the impossible complexity of the environments we grapple to perceive. Like so many human faculties, it's adaptive and miraculous, but it also contributes to some of the deepest problems that face our species.
Thesis: The labels that we place on others will over time, directly control the way in which they interact with others.
This idea starts to explain the meaning behind placing labels on almost everything- it doesn't have to be a person, it could be anything. We as humans find it easier to label things in order to make them seem less complicated and instead, more simplified. Although it may seem to be helpful, the act of labeling is a catalyst for many problems in our society. #rvc190
