Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is discrimination.

Explanation
Option 1: Institutional racism

Institutional racism refers to policies, practices, and procedures that work to the benefit of white people and to the detriment of people of color, often unintentionally or inadvertently. While the situation described involves a lack of language support, it does not specifically indicate that this is due to racial policies or practices.

Option 2: Prejudice

Prejudice involves preconceived opinions or attitudes about a person or group that are not based on reason or actual experience. The scenario does not describe any preconceived negative attitudes towards Arturo; it focuses on the communication barrier.

Option 3: Scapegoating

Scapegoating is the practice of singling out a person or group for unmerited blame and consequent negative treatment. The scenario does not indicate that Arturo is being blamed for anything.

Option 4: Discrimination

Discrimination involves unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. In this case, the lack of a translator and the resulting communication barrier can be seen as a form of discrimination, as it prevents Arturo from receiving the same quality of medical care as English-speaking patients.
