175 Words1 Pages
In my essay I presented key points that changed my understanding the way I view the world, starting from the image of God, continuing with economics and concluding with race and gender related inequality. Through out this course I learned to see the bigger picture and that there is more to the society I know and see every day. A great emphasis is placed on the poor and the minority groups which is easy to grasp. During the process of preparing and writing this essay I never realized how neglected and abandoned certain groups of people are in the society I live in. Also, the fact that not many people actually recognize those groups is very disturbing, because they are the part of the society. I conclude that if individuals would start the change

I had an opportunity to watch a movie “People like us” in my class last week. This movie has great impact, which reflects the images of different types of society. It focuses side by side on different social classes by describing their economical social status in society. In our society, most of we Americans do not think about how education, income, aspirations, family backgrounds, and the appearances distinguish someone as an individual of a certain class of society? A particular class is very difficult to mark than race or ethnicity difference.

My Senior Honors Project consists of researching the lack of resources within Native communities for special needs children. To begin with, my universal theme is special needs children. By doing research for my visual presentation, I learned a lot about other culture’s worldview on special needs children and I also concluded my culture’s worldview--both in my Native American community and in the state of New Mexico. One of the many things that I learned about my topic, my culture’s worldview and other communities’ worldview is that everything is perceived differently.

They support this claim by using the matrix of domination in relation to gender, race and class, then advise the reader to look at an issue through a broad perspective- realizing both the oppressor and the oppressed, and finally distinguish between recognizing and understanding diversity and not just acknowledging it. Andersen and Collins’ purpose is to have students think about race, class and gender as systems of power, how the three categories matter in shaping everyone lived experiences, and to understand race, class, and gender are linked experiences. Furthermore, Anderson and Collins adopt an unbiased, and assertive yet friendly tone for his/her audience, the readers and others interested in the topic of race, class and gender. By doing this, the readers can relate to the struggles that the issues bring up, however the authors can still get their point or message across

I know just from being from a certain race people believe that sometimes that defines us as a whole. There is always a race being discriminated, oppressed and even treated unequally.

Something that I’ve learned from this course was the term “intersectionality” and how that plays into equity. While isolating an issue does help in understanding its roots, the next step we should be taking is to understand the interconnecting nature of social identities. This many help us to become a more equitable society. For example, when Chelsea facilitated the workshop where we touched upon intersectionality in the pay gap, we learned how both gender and racial identity can affect an individual’s wage. While white women earn $0.74 to a white man’s dollar, black women only make $0.64.

Most transformative moments in life can be caused by the smallest of occurrences in life. Often people do not even realize that a pivotal moment in their life is happening. Someone may realize when they are mature enough that there was one special moment during their childhood that ultimately determined their lifelong goal. For others, they probably realized an “aha” moment right when it happened and from then on decided that they knew what they want to accomplish later on. I actually have taken from both sides of the spectrum from realizing that one special transformative moment but also not even knowing that it would end up steering me towards my current career choice.
