“…Tolstoy was 'white,' I understood him to say, and so Tolstoy 'mattered,' like everything else that was white 'mattered.'". 23 Patients face a partially analogous deficit in having their views of their own suffering recognized. There is an inherent hierarchy between physician and patient, with physicians' perspectives valued more than patient testimonies, which are undervalued as uninformed, unreliable, overemotional, and unhelpful.…”

The emergence of narrative medicine has promoted reflective practices and story-telling as means of promoting compassion, building resiliency, and understanding the "patient" and "physician" as "persons." However, though some narrative medicine pieces describe patients' experiences, the narrative of the patient is usually told by physicians, producing a second-hand facsimile of the patient's lived experience. Stories written by physicians may have their roots in patient encounters, but are filtered through the physician's, rather than the patient's, understanding of the world. This focus on patient stories told by physicians replicates traditional gaps in legitimacy between the voices of physicians and patients and maintains the locus of power with physicians and the health care system. This paper explores the ways in which well-meaning physicians aiming to elevate patients' stories frequently fall short, and what we can do to better elevate patients' voices on the wards, in clinics, and in the medical literature. Stories about patients are important to help clinicians and trainees develop and practice compassionate person-centered care; stories written by patients on topics and with orientations of their choosing are currently lacking, and, we argue, even more important.

“…Neoliberalism is understood as an economic and political doctrine, corresponding with a laissez-faire policy of minimal state intervention in the private sector inherently reinforcing ideologies of monopoly, individualism, and competition (Chomsky & Mcchesney, 2011). Capitalism is a political and economic system in which state affairs are controlled by private actors for profit as opposed to centralized state control (Coates, 2016). Neoliberalism and capitalism fundamentally capacitate the ease of free trade; establishing a free market legitimizes deregulated trade of assets within enterprise, permitting optimum profitability and efficiency with freedom to subjectively self-govern conduct.…”

Profit-driven policy and human insecurity

Fereday

This article provides a holistic account of the deep-rooted structural harms permeating contemporary society, offering theoretical and philosophical analysis of how such harm occurs, and how it is supported and sustained. Context is supplied so as to assess the ways in which profit and power are a primary focality of contemporary societal structures, at the expense of human security. By providing contextual analysis, it assesses the current political, economic, and societal climate and how human insecurity is a by-product of such. Critically considering how profit-driven policies exist within this setting, it offers a critical consideration of how power dynamics create a disparity between social, state and corporate actors and their subjective (il)legal proceedings. The article retains the question of whether true human security is an attainable reality.

“…Saunders (1981) argued that the gradual decline of domestic service coincided with the first significant growth of the hospitality industry and saw a significant transfer of labour from domestic service to the sector. This view has enjoyed more recent, if partial support, from Coates (2015), who observes that European working-class women formed the bulk of the servant class, and domestic service remained until the 1930s the largest occupational category after coal mining. In the view of Riley (1985), the persistence of a domestic service ethos helped explain the individual rewards culture evident in many British hotels and revealed in numerous studies up until the 1990s (e.g.…”

The study of traditional industrial relations institutions in the hospitality industry (such as trade unions) is somewhat in the doldrums. This is, perhaps, unsurprising, given that the sector has historically never had high union membership. This article briefly explores the general influence of trade unions today in terms of overall membership and the concept of union density. The observed decline in the numerical (membership) strength of unions and their influence is clearly attributable to the -albeit uneven -pursuit of conservative economic policies over the last half-century. Membership of trade unions in the hospitality industry has also remained low but not collapsed completely. Extant explanations for the absence of union activity in an industry notorious for its poor conditions of employment are recounted and, employing secondary data from a number of sources, an effort is made to contextualise the present state of trade union membership and activity in the hospitality sector.
