throughout my life, I have often noticed the way in which certain issues often seem to go unnoticed. This is due to various variables, for example, the severity of the issues meaning how many people are affected and how. However, through the Ali scholar program individuals at the college level can explore topics which might seem obscure to others but affect people not only around the worlds but also in the local community. I want to be able to gain the skills to view an issue and see how it is displayed in various cultures around the world. Additionally, I would be able to recognize these issues I would also think critically in creating a solution. Not only would this program aide in the development of my skills but I would also be an asset to the program due to my previous experiences. …show more content…

Due to my history classes, I have been able to understand the way in which different actions and reactions have resulted in conflicts and armistice. This is a valuable skill in regards to social justice. Most issues that can be seen today have been created through centuries of mistreatment. For example, if we look at the indigenous peoples around the world their mistreatment can be traced to the settlement of the conquistadors and explorers. This issue also has others effects on the lives of individuals. Institutionally indigenous people are affected through the health care system, the prison system amongst others. Additionally, depending on the context individuals are affected differently. The intersectionality of an individual is very important as well. An igneous woman faces different issues than an indigenous man. When considering an issue is important to consider the full picture and the full context of the

  • Understanding Intersectionality: Complexity in Social Inequalities

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    The term ‘intersectionality’ was originally used by Crenshaw (1989, 1991), a legal theorist, in a discussion of the lack of explicit non-discrimination protections for Black women (reference to article). In the early twenty-first century, the term is generally used as a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity in the world, in human connections and experiences (reference book what is intersectionality). As Audre Lorde (1982) states, ‘There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we do not live single-issue lives.’ (slide 9- reference ppp) Struggles of social inequalities are shaped by various factors in diverse, dynamic and mutually influencing ways (reference book).

    Every individual has encountered social issues within a community. A social issue is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual 's control and local geographical environment.

  • Intersectionality Essay

    977 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the beginning of this course I felt that I knew the basics about racism, privilege, and intersectionality. However as we began our semester I realized I was very ignorant about how these topics relate to each other. These concepts or ideas dictates how we perceive others or our surroundings. These problems and continue to exist and evolve in our society through the process of socialization. The main problem today is that although this cycle of racism or privilege continues to exist in our society we are socialized to ignore the issues in an effort to avoid complication and maintain the status quo. The only way we can contribute to change is by choosing the path of great resistance (Johnson 129).

  • The Influence Of Intersectionality

    331 Words  | 1 Pages

    Around the world intersectionality is a misinterpreted term. Some people do not even know what it means, but they will directly associate it with feminism. Intersectionality studies how multiple identities connect and affect somebody's life, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Intersectionality affects the way in which oppression and privilege influence each other. Oppression happens when someone faces unfair treatment because of their identity and the privileges happen when someone has a special advantage because of it. The sad reality is that the meaning of intersectionality has been lost over the years or maybe people didn’t care enough to give the term so much importance to make it a reality.

  • Unequal Pay Is Important To Me

    1647 Words  | 4 Pages

    A topic that concerns me would be gender inequality as a whole. Gender inequality is the idea that men are superior to women. Women in society deal with unequal treatment when it comes to positions in the work force, pay, and portrayal in media, representation in government, sexual violence, and birth control access which are only a few things they face. Throughout history men have always had a higher position than women in many areas, while women even lacked basic legal rights like the ability to vote. With the 19th amendment passed in 1920’s allowing for women to vote, that was one change that was long overdue. How could something such as your biological makeup which determined your gender have so much control over what you’re allowed to

  • Themes Of Diversity

    743 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being a criminal justice major and seeing the riots and unrest in black communities towards police, I see the importance of diversity. Law enforcement agencies have a great need for it. If the face of the police was a more well representative one, many conflicts would not exist. In addition, now I see the competing narratives in new things such as, the ones of Americans and the people of the Middle East. Our people believe we are fighting terror efforts and keeping peace against radical Islamists. Is our narrative the same as the one their people would tell? Are the average citizens that are most affected and disadvantaged in truth, concerned with us or our beliefs? Finally, after examining the struggle of social inequality in Appalachia it has become more apparent to me how my situation is. As a 19-year-old, I’m faced with student loans, rent, and many other expenses. I have to find a way to succeed in my classes to achieve the bigger picture, while making enough money to cover all expenses and make time for life.

  • The Importance Of Social Evils In Society

    Since the era human societies began shaping up, stratification of the society based on the individual talents had an important impact in establishing the system of modern nations and cultures. Undoubtedly, this layering between the social classes led to the germination of the seeds of superiority among the better families, and also among more powerful individuals. Although present day society is more tolerant and impartial than ever before, there are still some facets of the society in which inequality and discrimination prevails, or I should say plays the most important role in one’s life. The discrimination between human beings based on their race, color, gender, social, or economic status is one of the social evils that I think bothers me
