Not Articles...

 


Occasionally I see articles that sound interesting, except they aren't articles, they're unsupported statements or opinions.  Badly written pieces don't make articles, most of them aren't even well constructed OpEd's.

I saw a piece inferring it would cover racism in the  medical setting & how it impacted the treatment of HIV+ people of color.  The lengthy article said stigma & prejudice were present for ethnic patients, it never supported.    

When dealing with HIV; stigma, discrimination & prejudice are always a fear & too often a reality.   This article implied it was going to cover such matters, it  didn't.  It simply stated it happens & it's bad. 

There was little actual research noted & I'm not certain where the few stats  cited came from.  This wasn't an article.  It wasn't an OpEd.  It was a  distraction.  People, learn to actually write articles.  Start by learning to write basic essays; have a point, make it, support it, then conclude.  These articles should be as brief  & concise  as  possible.

Take care.
