Discrimination across Europe then compare with Britain

(Inequalities in Health and social life)

     ‘Although European and UK law gives men and women the right not to be

discriminated against, discrimination still occurs. The EOC wants all forms of unlawful discrimination to stop.’ (Equal Opportunities Commission, July 2005)

Synopsis     

      To address the subject of discrimination in Europe, concentrating on health and social life and its comparison within Britain, we will be considering issues concerning the changing face of the European Union and the measures that have been taken, and continue to be taken, to ensure the rights, freedom and liberty of its members. 

     The findings of the recent Eurobarometer (January 2007), concerning the extent of discrimination within the European Union, will also be considered, along with recent government policies on discrimination and how these are being implemented within the EU.

     We will also be taking into consideration the work of Madeleine Leininger, who has long recognized the importance of understanding both cultural differences and similarities when caring for an intercultural community, and will be considering whether her theory can be applied within other sectors of the European Community. 

     As the European Union has grown, so has its need for effective governance and accountability as government bodies and organizations seek to implement Europe’s social and political charter. The question of accountability through networking has been criticized by some academics.  In this paper we will be considering the critical analyse of Yannis Papadopoulos concerning governance and accountability through networking, taking into account its weaknesses and strengths, and what needs to be put into effect to ensure a European Union that is efficient and fair to all its citizens.

     Finally, we will be looking at discrimination within the United Kingdom and how this compares with Europe, concentrating mainly on recent changes in discrimination laws and their effectiveness.
