Yucel,

Because of my upbringing in church, I was always taught to be friendly to people. It’s

because of this upbringing that I’m a very social person. My husband jokes with me that I’ve

never met a person that I couldn’t talk to for hours. It is because of this social attitude I have that

I have friends from all walks of life, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds. I have also found

that this social upbringing has helped me be able to respect the different backgrounds of my

friends. I have found that because of this upbringing I am able to support my friends in their

struggles and help my friends solve their problems. When I think about topics like this, I’m

reminded of what Paul told the Galatian Christians. Paul told them “Bear one another’s burdens,

workers there was a low to moderate implicit bias when treating dark skinned patients vs treating

light skinned patients. The Hall et al. (2015) study found that bias was often seen in treatment

adherence, treatment decisions, patient-provider interactions, and patient health outcomes. In

examining the research and considering the results of the implicit bias association test I have to

wonder if the current political climate of the country has any effect on the reported research. I

know that my coworkers and I never treat someone different based on their skin tone.
