Portraying black women as Jezebel’s by nature is a long -lasting stereotype. The jezebel stereotype is one that has been used to put down African American women since the beginning of slavery. Throughout history the white women were seen as pure, hardworking and respectable, while black women were always seen as promiscuous, seductive and tempting men.

Give two examples of poor communication techniques that you will be sure to avoid with this patient and explain why you chose to avoid these techniques. 1. Inappropriate body language: I choose to avoid displaying an inappropriate or negative body language because it portrays a different meaning to patients. It could mean that one does not have their interest at heart which may lead to lack of trust with the patient.
