Women of Color as caregivers / Healthcare providers

Introduction

The ancestral human condition was both male and female self-sufficiency. She was devoted to the collection not only of plants but also of invertebrates and small vertebrates, with its contribution of protein and fat. So the women could feed herself and her dependent children in US. Males were more carnivorous than females although at first were rather scavengers. There was no long-term pairings or redistribution of resources under a "sexual contract" between males and females. There was the ruthless rivalry between male infanticides, as typical of the common chimpanzee. Males strive to earn the esteem of his comrades and admiration female (increasing the chances of mating) hunting increasingly larger prey and sharing (Biegel et a1, p.349). The women chose to mate with the best hunters and accepted his flesh in return. Besides the contribution, of the collection was reduced in areas of very cold winters or dry seasons and increased dependence on hunting (Administration on Aging, 2004).

In an evolutionary phase, in which the performance of the game was still modest, the monogamy would have been a little interesting strategy for females: being committed to a particular male would have been less profitable in terms of supply of meat, which had been better supplied, stretched over dealings with a supplier. Neither was for male and there was no point continuing to supply meat to a pregnant female or babies who did not bear him a son soon and that their economic contribution is not decisive because she was independent (Pruchno and Resch, p.162).

US Domestic And Foreign Domestic And Foreign Policies And Patriarchal System

One defining component of this resistance is the stubborn persistence of a widely embraced the view of poverty as an individual trait and failing that in its extreme. It is perceived as evidence of moral deficiency among the poor who are blamed for their poverty and accused of rejecting mainstream norms, values, and behavior (Pinquart, p.256). Documented at great length by historians and social scientists, this ideology has taken numerous forms throughout U.S. history, from early debates about sources of pauperism to twentieth-century culture of poverty and welfare dependency theories. Its hegemony over US policies and has prompted policy analysts and makers alike to focus on ways and means to distinguish the small number of “deserving” from the presumably vast majority of “undeserving” poor (Pratt, p.30) and how to assist the former without encouraging the latter. Of special interest is how resistant this belief system is to contrary theory and evidence, regardless of how it is mounted, and how even the vast “poverty research industry”, often with explicitly opposite intentions, buys into this view and reinforces it in accordance with US policies (domestic). (Biegel et a1, p.349). Structural theories and the foreign policies that see poverty as evidence of systemic barriers and institutional failure find little traction in the American political system, however, much supporting evidence is accumulated (Pinquart, p.259).

Thus, the prevailing view of poverty in the United States defines it as a ...
