HOW THIS RESOURCE RELATES TO THE TOPIC
Bleich, S. N., Findling, M. G., Casey, L. S., Blendon, R. J.,
Benson, J. M., SteelFisher, G. K., ... & Miller, C. (2019).
Discrimination in the United States: experiences of black
Americans. Health services research, 54, 1399-1408.
The article explains the experiences by African-Americans in
the United States in relation to racial discrimination. According
to the research, one-third of blacks experience racial
discrimination in different social avenues such as in healthcare.
Also, blacks experience discrimination in employment, housing,
police interactions and criminal justice. for example, a black
man is more likely to receive a harsh punishment for the same
crime committed by a white man. The article is credible and
reliable as it is posted on a PubMed, which is website that only
publishes credible articles that have been peer reviewed.
The article provides substantial relevant information that can be
used to support the research topic about racial discrimination in
the United States. Racism is still prevalent in the U.S. and the
minority groups still experience negative impacts of racism. The
article is relevant to the study topic as it outlines African-
American racial discrimination experiences in the U.S.
McMurtry, C. L., Findling, M. G., Casey, L. S., Blendon, R. J.,
Benson, J. M., Sayde, J. M., & Miller, C. (2019).
Discrimination in the United States: Experiences of Asian
Americans. Health Services Research, 54, 1419-1430.
McMurtry et al. (2019) explores the racial discrimination of
9. experiences by Asian Americans in the United States. The
article posits that just like blacks, Asian-Americans are more
likely to experience racial discrimination in various avenues of
social, economic and political aspect. For instance, an Asian-
American is less likely to secure a job in the U.S compared to a
white. For example, according to the article, 13 percent of the
participants reported that they have experienced discrimination
in healthcare encounters.
The proposed study seeks to understand racial discrimination in
the United States. The article is relevant to the research topic as
the study was conducted in the U.S. and talks about racial
discrimination towards Asian-Americans. Therefore, it offers
substantial and relevant information that relates to the proposed
research topic.
Allen, R. J. (2020). Systematic racism and America today.
https://www.brookings.edu/blog/how-we-
rise/2020/06/11/systemic-racism-and-america-today/
The article explores the systematic racism in the U.S. It
explores how the ancient system that perpetuated slavery is still
embedded in the modern American system. The article explores
the root causes of racism in America and how the social
problem can be addressed. The federal and state governments
have created systems that directly or indirectly perpetuate
racism. The article points out the incident of terrible killing of
George Floyd to show how bad racial discrimination can be. In
addition, the article explains what should be done to end racism.
The proposed research seeks to explain what racial
discrimination is still prevalent in the United States. Therefore,
the article by Allen (2020) explains how racism is embedded
into the system and what needs to be done to end racism. In
addition, the proposed research paper seeks to recommend
solutions to racial discrimination, the article provides
substantial information of what needs to be done to end racism.

Points: 100
Overview:
Assume that you are a helping professional and you are meeting
your new client for the
first time. In the referral, the client identified a major problem
in living that they are
experiencing. In preparation for this meeting, you must conduct
some basic research
about the problem to understand the client’s current situation.
Once you have some
information on the problem, you will be looking for services in
your local area that you
can suggest to support the client in resolving their problem in
living.
Instructions:
The following are the sections of your paper:
• Introduction:
o What is the problem you are discussing, including the
problem’s
background information?
o Who is affected by the selected problem?
o What are the underlying causes of the problem?
11. o What are the potential impacts of this problem? (Is there a
domino
effect? Does this problem prevent the client from meeting their
basic
needs? Does this problem impact other aspects of their lives?)
o What types of services or supports are needed to
resolve/address the
problem?
• Two local service suggestions to help clients:
o Share the information for a specific program or service in
your area that
you can suggest to the client. Be sure to include the program
name.
o What is the service offered? How does it work? (i.e., is it a
home visiting
program, do they offer long-term in-office counseling, do they
have an on-
sight shelter?)
• Identify the barriers a client may face in accessing the
services identified.
• Conclusion:
o Restate your thesis and tie all of your findings together.
HSV101 – Introduction to Human Services

from.

are
13. summarizing or paraphrasing, you must give credit to the
original source.
