Underwood-Urquhart comparisons
edit
Underwood is an Americanized version of the original BBC series lead character Francis Urquhart, a Machiavellian post-Margaret Thatcher Chief Whip of the Conservative Party. Urquhart employs deceit, cunning, murder, and blackmail to influence and pursue the office of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. According to series producer Beau Willimon, the change in last name stemmed from the “Dickensian” feeling and “more legitimately American” sounding resonance of the name ‘Underwood’. Whereas Urquhart is an aristocrat by birth, Underwood is a self-made man, having been born into a poor Southern family with an alcoholic father.[43] Urquhart was one of television’s first antiheroes,[21] whereas Underwood follows the more recent rash of antiheroes that includes Tony Soprano of The Sopranos, Walter White of Breaking Bad, and Dexter Morgan of Dexter.[20] However, unlike most other antiheroes, Underwood is not forced into immorality either by circumstance (White), birth (Soprano) or upbringing (Morgan). In his review of Season 2, Slant Magazine’s Alan Jones writes that Underwood is evil by choice.[45] Although the character is based on the BBC show’s lead character, in interviews during the writing and filming of season 2, creator and showrunner Willimon said that he used Lyndon B. Johnson as a source of themes and issues addressed in House of Cards.[46] Unlike the right wing Urquhart, who leads the Conservative Party, Underwood is a member of the Democratic Party, but cares little for ideology in favor of “ruthless pragmatism” in furthering his own political influence and power.[8]

Just ask for forgiveness at death or on Sunday and they good, meanwhile they feel they have a pass to be assholes to everyone else. Anyways, that’s just my observation. Ever had a argument wit a conservative Christian? Man they go nuts if you ask is that what Jesus would do?

Implicit bias and stereotypes dot the landscape of the American healthcare system. White doctors and medical professionals often dismiss the pain of their Black patients. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, “half of white medical trainees believe such myths as black people have thicker skin or less sensitive nerve endings than white people.” This statistic shows how stereotypes threaten the health and wellness of Black people.

Henrietta Lacks
Lacks was the unwitting source of these cells from a tumor biopsied during her treatment for cervical cancer at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1951. These cells were then cultured by George Otto Gey, who created the cell line known as HeLa, which is still used for medical research.[9] As was then the practice, no consent was required to culture the cells obtained from Lacks’s treatment. Neither she nor her family were compensated for the extraction or use of the HeLa cells.
