Doctor vs. nurse by Prachi Kharade

What I observed that I think could be harmful:
All the images of doctors are men and there is no racial diversity among the outputs for both doctors and nurses.

Why I think this could be harmful, and to whom:
This perpetuates a gender stereotype that only men can be doctors and that people of color cannot be doctors or nurses.

How I think this issue could potentially be fixed:
The harms could be potentially mitigated by including more diversity in the outputs.

I definitely agree with your observation. The perpetuation of gender stereotypes that only men can be doctors and the absence of racial diversity in these representations can indeed have harmful effects. Such portrayals can reinforce biases and limit the aspirations of individuals who do not see themselves reflected in these roles.
