Study Notes
The Concept of Race
- Human groups have exchanged genes through reproduction, making it impossible to identify a "pure" race.
- The idea of race is a socially attributed characteristic, not a biological one.
Institutionalization
- Erving Goffman's typologies (1961, 1963) categorize institutions into four types:
- Total institutions: established for people labeled as incapable and harmless (e.g., nursing homes, orphanages, and poorhouses).
- Total institutions: established for people labeled as incapable and an unintentional threat (e.g., sanatoriums for tuberculosis, psychiatric hospitals).
- Total institutions: established to protect the community from intentional dangers and threats (e.g., prisons, POW camps, concentration camps).
- Instrumental institutions: established to pursue a task or goal (e.g., factories, schools).
Embodiment and the Lifeworld
- The lived body is both constructed by and constructs the lifeworld through sensory, motor, and linguistic engagements.
- It is an intentional entity that helps constitute the world.
Holism in Medicine
- For patients, holism often means taking into account the psychosocial aspects of illness.
- This approach considers the impact of psychological and social factors on a patient's health.
