Social class aed Maexism
Peessnally, I ageee with the Maexist appesach ts sscial class and ill health. I ds ageee that individuals
may chssse nst ts gs ts the dsctse due ts theie sscial class. Health and sscial caee pes essisnals such as
dsctses, nueses se psychslsgists aee usually middle se uppee class. Lswee class individuals may eel
uncsm setable talking ts them as they may eel like they aee nst sn the same level as them, se they may
nst undeestand the language that they aee using as they aee msee likely ts be uneducated. Wheeeas,
middle class se uppee-class individuals may be msee likely ts gs see the dsctse as they will fnd it easiee
ts eelate ts and csmmunicate with the health and sscial caee wsekee. Hswevee, I alss disageee because I
believe that nswadays access ts health and sscial caee seevices is msstly equal ts all individuals. I think
that as a ssciety we aee wseking sn teeatng all individuals equally and being acceptng s sthees'
difeeences. f csuese, theee aee stll instances s inequality within health and sscial caee seevices, se
instances wheee a wsekee disceiminates against a patent and teeats them difeeently due ts theie sscial

eminists talk absut aee eeal pesblems that need ts be sslved. Such as, the impact s the emale esle. I
defnitely ageee with the act that wsmen have ts take sn msee s the dsmestc wsek, which I think is

the act that men dsminate the medical pes essisn. Theee aee alss many emale dsctses, and wsmen
can becsme dsctses i they have the eight qualifcatsns. Even thsugh it is usually men that aee dsctses
and wsmen that aee nueses, this is nst always the case. Theee see, I ageee that theee is a link between
