Indigenous Racism in the Healthcare System in Canada

This is an Op-Ed(Opinion Editorial). There will be 2 sections. One will be the Op-Ed and the other will be the Critical Reflection. Together these 2 parts together will be 5 pages long. The Op-Ed should be 750-1000 words and the Critical Reflection should be 300-500 words. The Op-Ed and Critical Reflection need to be together as one Document.

Step 1. The focus topic needs to be written on Indigenous Racism in the Canadian Medical Sysystems. It should be written from the persepctive of the “here and now”, remembering that Op-Eds are designed to offer a perspective on local/national/international events or concerns.

Step 2. It should be researched. An Op-Ed differs from a traditional research paper in that youperspective is “front and centre”; you are not expected to be neutral in the writing(in fact, the opposite), nore are you expected to present an objective discussion of ‘all’ sides of the issue. At the same time, your argument must be rigorous and based on facts and evidence. Your research may include analysis of govornment publications, relevant policies, media reports, and/or policy discussion papers and must include peer reviewed journal articles. This must all be done in APA 6 0r 7th edition. It must include a reference list at the end of the Op-Ed

Step 3. Based on the research please write the Op-Ed as if you were writing for a print news source. Keep the audience of your selected newpaper in mind. Please as you write the Op-Ed focus on the message, prespective arguments/evidence/facts, and proposed course of action. Consider the purpose of your advocacy and the ways in which you can best frame your argument to achieve the hoped for outcome.
Remember your goals for the assignment are to: demostrate your critical understanding of the issue that relates to race/racism in Canada in the medial system when it comes to Indigenous people. Please identify the issues that are at the heart of the debate or problem; argue for this particular course of action; and write persuasively.

A reference list

A message that leaves a lasting impression with the reader

Step 4: Write the Critical Reflection at the end(300-500 words)

Address the rationale for for framing the argument in the way it was framed.
