Answer:
1. This is an example of assimilation.
2. This is an example of accommodation.
Explanation:
The concepts of assimilation and accommodation were introduced by psychologist Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, <u>assimilation happens when we interpret our new experiences in terms of our existing schemas.</u> That means we already possess ideas and information about the world and, when presented with something new, we place it under the same categories that already exist for us. That is what the child is doing when he/she calls the zebra a horse.
<u>Accommodation, on the other hand, takes place when we change our schema after new information is received, so that we can accommodate it.</u> That is what the child does when he/she creates a new category for the animal - it is no longer a horse, it is a zebra.
Answer:
They are more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions.
Explanation:
According to the lastest statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2018 there were 27.5 million people in the U.S. without health insurance.
When it comes to ethnicities: 5.4% of whites were without insurance, 9.7% of blacks were without insurance, and 17.8% of hispanics were without insurance.
Lack of insurance means that healthcare is more expensive. People without insurance often put off doctor visits. This may cause the development of preventable diseases to the point of requiring hospitalization.
As minorities in the US are, in percentage terms, more often uninsured than White People, it can be easily concluded that minorities are also more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions.
