...Unit 2 - Equality, diversity and rights in health and social care. In this this report I am going to be talking about equality, diversity and rights in health and social care settings. Equality Oxford dictionary definition “The state of being equal, especially in status, rights or opportunities.” - 2014, Anonymous. Equality is treating everybody the same despite the differences that they may have. It’s about giving everybody the same chances or choices and treating everybody equally as if there are no differences involved. Why is equality important in society? Equality is very important in society this is because if there was no equality, our society would be segregated into different groups. For example there could be a segregation based on gender and that women shouldn’t be allowed to work and they should stay at home whilst men work and earn the income for the household. Another reason why equality is important to society is if equality wasn’t legalised and the law didn’t protect people then hate crime and violence would increase and nothing would be done about it. For example if people were judged on their race or religion then this would cause a lot of conflict between different races and religions and this could escalate and become a bigger problem this could also lead to segregation. Also why equality is important in society is because everybody should feel that they are treated as an individual. This means that people want to be treated individually rather...

...Ethnicity: Ethnicity defines individuals and groups who have characteristics such as language, religion, dress and origin. Discrimination can take place when people believe their ethnic characteristics are inferior then others. Gender: at birth we are classified as either male or female. Historically it was seen men were more important and had more rights than women however now into day’s society women and men have the same balance of equal. For instance men now participate in child caring and women’s choice of working as a mechanic has become popular. However there are still assumptions made about some ones gender that can lead to discrimination. Social class: social class is to do with the status that an individual has in society. This is based on, wealth and lifestyle. The British class system is divided into three layers; working class, middle class and upper class. The higher up the class you are the more power and influence you have on others. Social class affects health and well-being as a person in a lower class because you’re less likely to have the same opportunities in life as those in a higher class, as they have a poorer employment prospects and lower income. Family structure: A family is social group made up of people who are related to each other by birth. Being part of a family shows others that those people are connected in some way.

...English marshes with his sister (Mrs. Joe Gargery) and his sister's husband (Mr. Joe Gargery). His sister is about as bossy and mean as most older sisters are—but his brother-in-law Joe is pretty much the best thing that's happened to Pip. One Christmas Eve, Pip meets a scary, escaped convict in a churchyard. Pip steals food from Mrs. Joe so that the convict won't starve (and also so that the convict won't rip his guts out). Soon after, in apparently unrelated events, Pip gets asked to play at Miss Havisham's, the creepy lady who lives down the street. And we mean creepy: her mansion is covered in moss; she still wears the wedding dress she was wearing when she was jilted at the altar decades ago; and the whole place is crawling with bugs. It's like Beauty and the Beast, only without the singing tableware. The only good thing about the mansion is Estella, Miss Havisham's adopted daughter. Estella is cold and snobby, but man is she pretty. Pip keeps getting invited back to play with her, and he develops quite the little crush on her. This crush turns into a big crush, and that big crush turns into full-blown, all-consuming L-O-V-E, even though there's no way that orphan Pip can ever have a chance with Estella, the adopted child of the richest lady in town. When Pip is old enough to be put to work—you know, early teens or so—he starts an apprenticeship at his brother-in-law's smithy, thanks to Miss Havisham's financial support. You'd think he'd be thrilled (fire, swinging...

A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide. Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians, and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. The precise date of Jesus' birth, which some historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown. By the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East.

...Charles John Huffam Dickens (/ˈtʃɑrlz ˈdɪkɪnz/; 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's most memorable fictional characters and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period.[1] During his life, his works enjoyed unprecedented fame, and by the twentieth century his literary genius was broadly acknowledged by critics and scholars. His novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.[2][3] Born in Portsmouth, England, Dickens was forced to leave school to work in a factory when his father was thrown into debtors' prison. Although he had little formal education, his early impoverishment drove him to succeed. Over his career he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas and hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens sprang to fame with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire, and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication.[4][5] The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction...
