In other parts of the world sexism is more prominent because males have dominant roles over women and therefore look down upon them. Not only is there sexism, but there is ambivalent sexism which is defined as sexism directed against women based on both positive and negative attitudes (hostility and benevolence) rather than uniform dislike. To better understand ambivalent sexism I took a test that would rate my hostile and ambivalent sexism. The Ambivalent sexism inventory measure how sexist you are towards men and women. My scores from this test were quite surprising to me.
Society defines the right and wrong for us, thereby limiting the choices we have to express ourselves. Society decides what position we must acquire to be seen as respectful, thereby forcing us to achieve that and only that. Conversely, if one chooses to express themselves in a different, unexpected manner it leads to an uproar on the society’s behalf. People were being bullied or judged on their character by the communities they belong to. Sandra is a young girl with dark skin who is born to white parents and it is because of her skin colour.
The way an Iranian man and women communicate is much different from the way Americans communicate with their wives. In America the relationship between husband and wife usually is a based on mutual agreement and “equality”. Where as in the Muslim religion the “belief” is that women should be dominated by their men. Their belief allows them do such things such “As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them first, next refuse to share their beds, and last spank them lightly…” (Sura 4 Verse 34) , as stated in the Quran men are allowed physically discipline their wives. This belief is not shared by most Americans, but is shared by many Iranians as away of life and last resort mean.
Gill's strongest points is that, “the politically correct 'race denial' perspective in society as a whole suppresses dialogue,” and similarily is, “allowing ignorance to replace knowledge and suspicion to replace familiarity.” my class example *the importance of bones- *race only being skin deep *needs a more open dialogue- (most people who publish have political/cultural beliefs that swade our opinions *race leads to racism- yet, but not after more education and more of an open dialogue. In a world based largely around media- and their portral- the education and open dialogue is stinted- and unfortunately the issue is compouned by political strife most of the time. Perception is skewed due to our current world climate. I agree with oponent's side of him that racial categories for human kind are “arbitrary and meaningless”
These examples just shows how confusing it is in identifying sexual harassment today. How would you answer Limbaugh’s points if you were arguing for the opposition to each of the two points you have selected? For the first point, I would argue that women should not have so much power over men because men were created as the head and as such women should respect their authority. For the second point, I would say that sexual harassment should be limited to only sexual behaviors that are forced unto women and not be based on a man trying to win a woman over by his advances. Sexual harrassment refers to sexual actions.
Historically uniforms have portrayed indifference between countries specifically in war, to mark foe from friend which nowadays marks the difference between us and other schools. Not only do we have to put up with a stolen identity but also have to bear its uncomfortable and ugly nature. They say ‘’we are promoting school unity’’ but I believe it is instead robbing us of our own social identity. As a consequence of this the ideals and values of the student is blatantly rejected. In order to promote a fairer and free country we must be rid of uniforms and youth social groups should be considered equal in views and opinions to the older generations.
Well as in any issue there are two sides. For the people who support the ban feel it's oppressive to women, basically erasing their identity. Most say it violates France's secularism which is known to be important there. Also come at the issue saying its a security threat because they make it hard for the authorities to identify people at crime scenes or during investigations. It's an issue of security, gender equality and individual rights so they say.
Formally, racial categories appeared to be biological which contrast with the view of the current generation that impact the social status of the society. The ethical race connections that exist among people appear to be mutually exclusive. However, the situation may be overlapping without notice. This brings in the idea of invisibility of race within the community. People tend to assume the existence of race as an inferior fact yet it exists as a major problem within the community.
Also Newton refers to discrimination as an act of injustice towards the receiver. For example, if a woman is turned down for a job because a male with the same qualifications was also interviewed and received the position due to his gender. Newton doesn’t agree with this injustice but also wonders since more people are realizing that not choosing persons due to their gender or race is discrimination, if they are giving women and or African Americans special treatment so that their company can look diverse and nondiscriminatory. If true, then the rest of workers are now having the bulk of injustice done to them. Newton states, “It is, then, an ironic paradox” (414).
He states this because he feels that people from different ethnical backgrounds may be raised differently than other ethnic backgrounds. He also feels that gender plays a role in the shaping of a person’s attitude and personality because society is a gender biased society and men are treated better than woman with in society and women fall into a minority group. Anthony does not feel that it should be this way he simply states that this is just the way that society works. Amanda feels that race can affected the way a person’s attitude and personality because different races have different beliefs on the way that they should raise their children and the way a person should behave. Amanda agrees with Tony that woman do fit into a minority group and do not get treated with as much respect as woman do in
