As a straight‚ cisgender person‚ I don’t ever have to worry about being discriminated against in my workplace or amongst my peers for being gay or transgender because I’m neither. As a black person‚ intersectionality can work in my favour if there is a need for an interpreter of colour; I can provide representation to the person requesting my services just because of who I am (the same applies for me being a male as well). As an able bodied person‚ I have

Men “…say they will work to improve women’s status‚ in the society‚ the university‚ or the curriculum‚ but they cant or wont support the idea of lessening men’s” (McIntosh‚ 278). In relation to intersectionality‚ all women have the common junction of being oppressed under a man’s higher status‚ however‚ being a white woman in comparison to a black woman; there is now a change in status. While white privileged feminists fought for increased access to

in the paper when exploring the arguments of various Black feminist‚ connections can be made to the major tenents. The tenents are not being discussed in order of significance in Black feminism. With that‚ intersectionality is the first tenent of Black feminism I will discuss. Intersectionality centers Black feminism because Black feminists historically have been‚ and currently are‚ excluded from mainstream feminism and the anti-racism movement.

Something I found confusing in the lecture on April 27th was about “intersectionality”. The term was brought up in question number 8‚ and I do not understand the term. In the film‚ I found it confusing as to why marriages were arranged for the

The next page is a collage of words‚ which we found very empowering and inspiring from various magazines. Moreover‚ our work does illustrate the matrix of domination and intersectionality because in one of the comics it discusses how even though as a whole were all feminist‚ we are completely different from one another and face different types of challenges that we both could not relate too. That’s why we have different components

Utilitarianism was a movement that took off during the enlightenment at the end of the 18th century and through the beginning of the 19th century. The fact that this took off at the same time as the enlightenment is no coincidence‚ as that was when the general public began to lose trust in the church. Utilitarianism is the belief that the most correct action is always what serves the greatest good for the greatest number of people. This was revolutionary in its time because it goes against the major

“Life in the Iron Mills” by Rebecca Harding Davis is a story that provokes feminism as defined by Lerner within its characters. It is easiest to see this correspondence when you break Lerner’s definition down into its integral points. Namely‚ “the awareness of women that they belong to a subordinate group”‚ one that is deemed so by society‚ that women “must join with other women to remedy these wrongs”‚ and‚ finally‚ that women should “provide an alternate vision of societal organization” that better

So is it possible that the type of discrimination she was facing was racism? Or is it possible that it is a case of intersectionality‚ which is the idea that different types of discrimination can be compounded on top of each other. For instance‚ could it be that Penelope is receiving less pay not because she is Hispanic or female‚ but because the combination of her being a

Due to the heavy influence of my culture on respecting and treating the older adults with uttermost compassion‚ it motivated me to work in field of geriatrics as a geriatrician in the future. Growing up‚ I was always taught that life runs in a complete circle. Parents take care of the children when they are little‚ so the children will repay the parents and take care of them when they get older. In the United States‚ I do not see the same mentality in some people and it leads to problems like abuse
