Healthcare
Much research has been done in the medical community due to the prevalent differences seen by the presence of intersectionality. Many differences can be faced between a patient and the healthcare practitioner, and these differences can be held to different standards in varying divisions of medicine. For one, the language barrier between a patient and their doctor can lead to improper care, especially when other topics such as religion and personal beliefs come into play. This can lead to power differences; whether it be through the assertion of certain visiting hours or the belief for compliance with a practitioner's medicinal instructions, some patients may feel as if they are not being properly spoken for. Coinciding with the challenges a language difference can bring, cultural differences can lead to specific cultural practices being indubitable and therefore impeding on a healthcare providers ability to give the proper care to their patient.

United States
Discrimination caused by the bias as a result of racism, heterosexuality, and colonialism has been the focus of many healthcare professionals. For instance, intersectionality in women's healthcare has served to bring gender into the discussion of and broaden the intersectional perspective in the observance of bias in healthcare. By advocating for change to include gender in the discussion of how a women's rights are represented, more vitally important aspects of women's lives and the discrimination they face can also be observed. Research has highlighted the otherwise inconspicuous marginalization that, in women's healthcare, many women face in their health needs, such as the study done by Shari Brotman and Stavroula Kraniou to observe whether or not queer and specifically lesbian issues could be properly responded to. In doing such research, counteractive research has also been produced to observe whether or not previous intersectional research was done properly enough to include a people of all economical, societal, and political beliefs in order to provide a broader perspective for positive change.

Worldview
Class inequality stemming from the economical status of a woman can lead her to be unable to pay for proper care, and subsequently limited access and subpar treatment. This can further vary in developing countries such as in Bangladesh, where women tend to have less control over their households or finances and are therefore more likely to be economically dependent on a male figure in their households. However, in comparison with the care a woman may receive in a developed country such as Sweden, discrimination is also present and could best be seen through a "gender analysis", instead of through purely class inequalities.

= Intersectionality in Healthcare = In theory, intersectionality is a concept of researchable analysis in which certain bias cannot be separated into singular characteristics when diverse aspects such as class, ethnicity and race exist in human beings. Healthcare wise, the medical community is aware of the differences being seen in the modern world through an intersectional perspective, including the feminism in healthcare movement, and is working to achieve the equality that is the most equitable for every patient, but this has proven to be a challenge in more ways than one.

In Women's Health
Intersectionality in women's healthcare has served to bring gender into the discussion of intersectionality and broaden it's perspective in the observance of bias in healthcare. By advocating for change to include gender in the discussion of how a women's rights are represented, more vitally important aspects of women's lives and the discrimination they face can also be observed.

Class inequality stemming from the economically status of a woman can lead her to be unable to pay for proper care, and subsequently limited access and subpar treatment. This can further vary in developing countries such as in Bangladesh, where women tend to have less control over their households or finances and are therefore more likely to be economically dependent on a male figure in their households. However, even in more developed countries such as Sweden where women have greater access to healthcare, discrimination is found to also be inescapable.

Recent Efforts
In recent efforts to apply a better intersectional model in healthcare, a multitude of assurances of change have been produced in an effort to eliminate prejudice. Discrimination caused by the bias as a result of racism, heterosexuality, and colonialism have been the focus of many healthcare professionals.

Many recent efforts to view such bias have been observed mostly through research, and this research has highlighted the otherwise inconspicuous marginalization that, in women's healthcare, that many women face in their health needs, such as the research done by Shari Brotman and Stavroula Kraniou to observe whether or not queer and specifically lesbian issues could be properly responded to. In doing such research, counteractive research has also been done to observe whether or not previous intersectional research was properly enough to include a people of all economical, societal, and political beliefs in order to provide a broader perspective for positive change.

Article Evaluation: Cyberfeminism
The article contained material that was all important to the subject being discussed and the ambiguity of the topic, cyberfeminism. Cyberfeminism in it of itself is an "undefinable" concept that spans a wide variety of viewpoints, origins, theories, etc.; because it pertains to applying feminism to online platforms, every person has a different viewpoint, and the editor cites two scholars who have their own viewpoints on defining this range of viewpoints. The editor does a good job of maintaining a neutral tone to the article initially; although viewpoints are evident under the Definition and History subheading, the editor provides the counterargument to each of these opinions but then delves more into the positive ways that the Internet has affected women's lives. Almost if not all of the citations come from reputable, scholarly sources, ranging from encyclopedias, published journals, graduate school papers, etc. Of the ten sources I checked, all of the links worked. However, some sentences in the article need citations, but with that being said, most of the information that has been cited under the Definition subheading has been written in the past decade.

Towards the end of the Definition subheading, the editor adds in a cited paragraph once again discussing the ambiguity of the definition of the term cyberfeminism, but this cited material compiles two opposing opinions on the matter. Wikipedia is only supposed to focus on certain, published facts, yet at the end of this paragraph and because of the nature of the topic being discussed, the editor adds material cited from Sue V. Rosser; while it was published in a journal, her work delves into the core difference in opinions that people may have in spreading feminism onto the Internet, which is critical to the structure of the article but leaves readers with not really facts, but questions. As the article continues into the History and Art subheadings and details the growth of the Internet and feminist use, the opinion that stated that the Internet was more liberating for women is the only viewpoint stemming from the end of the previous paragraph that gets more detail. In the end, the article does not really have a firm definition of the term, but seems to lean towards it being more valuable in a women's life than degrading.

Most of the Talk page linked to the article has been focused on fixing the bias that has been evident over the years of editing this article. Multiple accounts of one to two liner subjective and personal observations have been noted of and taken down, and since 2014, only discussions of new sources have been initiated. The page is part of multiple WikiProjects: Feminism, Sociology, and the Internet.

Compared to the discussions that have been held in class, the article delves further into the history, subjectivity, and cultural (art) aspects of cyberfeminism, along with the increased focus on the global effect cyberfeminism can have. We have discussed subjectivity in class in terms of how people's perceptions of each other/discrimination, but this subject discusses the differences in each person's opinion on one subject.
