Sowk 304 Life Map Analysis
The Life Map from SOWK 305 and the exercise we did in SOWK 304 Adobe Connect, Privilege Walk, connected life events where I had experienced oppression and where I was the oppressor. When doing my Life Map, I was able to recognize many life events where I was oppressed because of my age and poverty. I was not able to finish high school because I needed to work to provide for my basic needs and I was very difficult for me to get government financial support because I was a youth. Even when trying to access supports the support often came with judgment who seemed to see me as an oppositional or “bad” teen rather than seeing how my environment influenced me. As an oppressor, I was able to identify how my framework of diversity was developed through

    Whoever can and will freely decide that want to smoke, you can buy snuff and can consume freely without anyone prohibited. What happens is that no right can be unlimited. Every right has certain conditions as to time, place and other circumstances of its exercise primarily to make it compatible with the rights of others. The right to smoke is limited by the right to not smoke. And is this right, not smoking, which to date has not been recognized or respected.…

    Eth/125 Assignment: Final Project

    My own racial, ethnic, or cultural history is a great big mess of origins, religions, and culture but this class made me realize that one I am not alone in time case and that I too as a person have boundaries that hold me back. For instance there is a glass ceiling which is “the barrier that blocks the promotion of a qualified worker because of gender or minority membership” (ch.3, pg. 78) this is not a barrier of race or religion or culture its based on gender and I being a women hinders my ability to progress in some areas of the working world. This is some thin that women from not just the United States have been fighting for but the United States I see ha made great strides to make things more equal and fair.…

    Gender Equality In Texas Summary

    These are all bound together and inseparable elements. These foundations are largely materialist, describing disadvantaged identities as historically constituted, rather than innate. Focusing exclusively on one dynamic while ignoring the intersections of other structures of disadvantage often produce biased and inaccurate generalizations. Intersectionality recognizes that multiple oppressions are not each suffered separately but rather as a single, synthesized experience. Rather than having any unified canon, this concept draws primarily from direct experiences of the…

    Otsuka Oppression

    According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, oppression is a concept that means unjust or cruel exercise of authority or power. At first, it was difficult for me to fully comprehend the meaning of oppression. However, following our class readings, this concept has become clearer to me. As mentioned by Simone Weil, “Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand.” In order to understand oppression you need to walk in ones shoes. The class readings gave us an inside look and life examples of how oppression comes about. Oppression is not something that happens overnight.…

    White Like Me Analysis

    In this past week, we learned about inequality, mainly concerning African Americans. I will be discussing the film White Like Me, along with the readings 5 Faces of Oppression, and Identity/Social Location. White Like Me is a film about inequality among the African American population. In 1959 a man named John Howard Griffin, conducted an experiment using himself as the subject. He did this by making the color of his skin darker by taking medication and spending up to 15 hours under an ultraviolet lamp. Griffin then traveled for six weeks to some of the southern states. He was treated differently now that his skin was darker, Griffin met another African American who told him that he would never fully understand what it is like to live in the…

    Five Faces Of Oppression Essay

    The world has diversity and adversity yet it is up to the people to influence equality. Throughout her piece, Young presents several arguments and ideas which struck me as innovative as well as eye opening. Young believes that there are many groups of people who suffer from oppression, but that they are all disadvantaged in different ways depending on the period of time in which they live. While Young has written a substantial amount of work on the subject of oppression, arguably her most influential work is The Five Faces of Oppression. If at any point in time one of these five conditions is present, the group is considered to be…

    Are Prisons Obsolete Analysis

    This is when privilege determines who is the “Us,” and who is the “Them.” In “A Question of Class,” Dorothy Allison shares her struggles as a lesbian coming from a low-income background. She expresses that being poor label her as the “other.” However, her white privilege makes her have more opportunities compared to her black peers. Allison argues that “The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives, there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal” (Allison 35). Based on her experience, she observes that people, in order to keep or protect their privilege, have to oppress the…

    White Privilege

    One of the parts of this article that caught my eye and made me think a bit was the list of 26 white privileges that McIntosh wrote about in her article. This list was very eye opening and made me think what I could put towards myself on this list. Even though I was born in a little different time that McIntosh was I was relatively aware that as a white male I was born with a number of privileges that came with not only the color of my skin but also by my gender, however this list did make me realize and understand some of the advantages of my skin that I often times look over. A good example that I could use before, I can’t say it is so easy now, is number 17 I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider. Before the election of Obama I could easily criticize my government and no one would really give me a second look about it, but I do have to say that now if I criticize my government I get called a racist, so now I kind of see better how those of a different race felt when they criticized our government and got called out about it.…

    Human Experience Course Analysis

    This looks into how our communities make us who we are and also looking at the groups that yourself belong to (The Human Experience 93). The first part of this section focuses on the social self, finding out who you are. David Myers wrote an article, Ingroup and Outgroup, which focuses on explaining that we are all apart of different groups, but are also not a part of other groups (99). This is an important read for students entering college because it shows how they may be a part of one thing but also shows them that they can be excluded from others. The second part of the self and the community is the diversity of the other. A reading in this section is White Privilege and Male Privilege, by Peggy McIntosh. This explains how White people and male people are privileged over others. This opens the eyes of those who don’t see this happening in their lives. One of McIntosh’s conditions that she can do, but others around her of different color cannot do states, “I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial” (142). As a white female, myself I can see this being true in our world today. I never realized these different scenarios before having to read this reading. The third and final section of the self and the community is alienation. This shows how one is separated from a group that they should be a part of. The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, by Ursla K. LeGuin is a good example of this. This story is about a young child who is locked in a closet, and is the real reason that the city is happy. This brings to our attention that we may have something in our world that is locked away and is holding us up and allowing us to be the way that we are (172). Without the HMXP course, I would not have been exposed to these different articles that open the eyes of young…
