A critical feminist perspective would be the best to apply here in order to fully understand the wage gap between the two lawyers. See table 2.1 on page 41 of Doane & Varcoe (2015) for a more detailed explanation of this perspective. Also, pages 61-62 have a detailed discussion about gender wage gaps.

A. Common Ideas about what is considered social order involve power imbalances B. When beliefs are considered facts this acts as a barrier to freedom E. Engaging in critical analysis is a way to promote empowerment RATIONALE: In Doane & Varcoe (2015, p. 56), a detailed understanding of the underlying assumptions of the use of a critical lens are discussed.

Therefore, it is important to note that political leaders do not bear the sole responsibility for creating social change, this power lies within individuals, communities, organizations, etc. Furthermore, encouraging mainstream practices, for example, wearing a breastfeeding cover or retreating to a "mother's room" when nursing an infant, moves society away from enlightenment because it constrains questioning a practices that are in place to promote domination and power imbalances.

Nursing in Canada is shaped by a liberal political ideology. True or false?
TRUE
On page 68 of Doane & Varcoe (2015), there is a story of a 5 year old girl who dies from chicken pox due to delayed help seeking. The family' cultural understanding of the illness were questioned as a factor in her death. This situation can be effectively analyzed using a post-colonial lens. True or false?
TRUE Rationale: "Racism is a constant companion to colonialism because assumptions of racial superiority are used to justify and facilitate domination..." (page 68). In this scenario, the girl who died and her family were 'undocumented' immigrants from Mexico. Finances, language barrier and a lack of the ability to navigate the health care system contributed to the tragic outcome. Liberal individualist views shadow the effects of colonialism in such situations leading to a simple casting of blame rather than situational, critical analysis. A post-colonial lens would be ideal from deconstructing these types of situations to develop a more socially just understanding of them.
Collaborative practice can decrease errors in the clinical / practice environments TRUE OR FALSE?
TRUE.
