Caste System Oppression

In America, millions of people are affected by poverty. High-class members of America and companies take advantage of these lower class individuals. Lower class individuals who are able to find a job usually work for less than minimum wage and experience poor working conditions. These lower class workers do not deserve the lifestyle they must deal with. Low class individuals not only have to struggle with finding employment but also have to worry about the U.S. government mistreating them. Whether someone is a low class immigrant or U.S. born citizen, it is evident people in America treat their lower class citizens poorly.

Is racism dead? In “The Rebirth of Caste” by Michelle Alexander, Alexander talks about the evolution that racism has gone through to become what is today. Racism has evolved throughout the years from slavery to segregation to criminalization to mass incarceration, all while many have become so oblivious to the issue, that many don’t even realize that such a problem still exists today. In “The Curious Grammar of Police Shootings” by Radley Balko, Balko talks about how politicians and police use syntax and grammar to deflect blame from themselves to primarily African-Americans or Hispanics. Alexander defines the new racial caste system as a system that through institutionalized racism has consistently put disenfranchised African-Americans at the bottom of a new caste system. Balko sheds light on the fact that police are not held accountable for their actions and that the racial stigmas of the 21st century still cause many African-Americans and minorities to face discrimination from the very people who had sworn to protect them. Alexander’s arguments support Balko’s claim through the inherent use of historical context, formal tones, and persuasive language to show how racism has continued for far too long.

There are many different symbols that you may not see in your everyday life. A symbol is an object that represents an idea. In the first part last, there are symbols almost everywhere in the book.

Poverty and homelessness are serious issues in the U.S. today, especially because of the current recession, with levels of poverty and unemployment higher than at any time since the 1930s. Blacks and Hispanics are being affected disproportionately by homelessness, as well as poverty and unemployment in American society. This is just another example of the racial caste system and institutional racism that goes far beyond that of social class, and has always been the case in recessions and indeed with every other social and economic problem in American history. Even though the country elected a black president in 2008, wealth and incomes for minority groups, which were already far lower than whites, have been in severe decline for the past few years (Baumann 2001). Compared to the trillions of dollars in federal assistance that has been extended to the large financial institutions from TARP and the Federal Reserve, programs to aid the poor and homeless have been very inadequate, and are even being cut back on the local, state and federal levels.

simply took over for slavery. Enforced by government, established in courts, and carried out by law officers, forcing a continuation of an already well-established racial caste system on nearly every aspect of American life.

Oppression has change in history in the following ways: lower class people are treated different than higher class, people are discriminated by their race, and minorities knows how each class behave. People should not be obligated to change their lifestyle only because they are oppressing them to change for good. Each one of us should have freedom of what they want to do and enjoy life by not being forced to or feeling less than others

In America’s history, each race has been portrayed as inferior or inferior, because of one’s skin color, or the beliefs of a culture. Oppression In early America varied in some ethnicities. Some races didn’t even have any civil liberties at all, they were not allowed to vote, not even allowed to become professionals. This was to keep everyone that was not of the superior race below them. Even though they are classified as U.S citizens. In most areas, the ruling race is the upper white class that runs the system, and have a disproportionate amount of power. In other areas, it may not be the white race, but it is still the race that makes up the majority. The majority, who makes the laws, and/or has money, are keys to dominate over the weaker minorities that don’t have the

Hinduism reinforces the caste system, which is a "division of society into social classes that are created by birth or occupation" and it is a "prevalent social system of Hinduism" (Molloy 90). Thus, class and race are both elements affected by the caste system. There are different castes, or social classes, and there are also subcastes. Despite the caste being permanent for one's life, it's not to say that those in lower castes cannot move up to a higher caste. This is where the concept of rebirth comes into Hinduism, which is the idea that an individual can make certain choices in their lives, good or bad, and this can affect what caste they will be reborn into.

This research paper will outline the causes and traits of oppression in America. Dynamics such as the social, historical, and psychological systems that serve as vessels of oppression will be addressed. Using academic research, the goal for this essay will be to discuss the characteristics of oppression and how those characteristics are connected to its origin. The research will develop major themes that will serve to define agents, including classism, discrimination, and the intersectionality of different types of oppression. Discussions on strategies for addressing and ending the current oppression in America and recommendations for the future will be highlighted as well.

The aim of this essay is to address the problem of inequality and oppression through three separate texts, The Second Sex, The Death of the Profane and Killing Rage. The Second Sex focuses on the woman and her role compared to man. The Death of the Profane and Killing Rage are both texts that describe experiences about the constant racism felt by blacks. To thoroughly examine these texts and how they are related to oppression and inequality it is important to first define what each mean. Oppression and inequality each have different definitions but they go hand in hand. Oppression is the state of being subject to prolonged unjust treatment. While inequality is defined as lacking equality, equality is the state of being equal especially in status,

It appears to be that the discussion of race and class in America has become amplified, especially in the last couple of years. For many, it is a touchy subject that hits close to home. With the presence of social media and news that feeds off of racial tension in America, the issues are polarizing and difficult to productively discuss. America’s handling of race and class relations is generally not something to be proud of, and there exists a long history of issues with race. It is clear that there is a lack of understanding and empathy of what others experience toward those who are oppressed. So often it is too easy to dismiss another human’s experiences as reality if one has had no prior encounter with the same challenges. Race is easy to sweep under the rug, but we must address the problem, and it is not a one size fits all solution. It is a problem that has been years in the making and continues to have an enormous impact on our human capital from an economic standpoint. And most of the time, there is a correlation between race and class.

In this week’s assignment, I’ve learned several things about how aging affects you physically and mentally.  With my personal growth, this week’s assignment it made me realize why we age and we get older. It is a mystery and there are many theories about how we age.  This expanded my knowledge because it forced me to look into why our bodies and minds age.  I did not know about the theories of aging and how we age, this a new concept and something I did not have an understanding about.  I believed it was the way life evolved. You’re born as an infant that develops into a young person that matures into an adult. The most valuable lesson I’ve learned, there are four theories of aging. The theories are 1. Oxidative stress - the body inability

You must be married, perhaps with children. I know it has been forty years. I tried over the years to contact you. Perhaps the phone would have been the simplest. I was so grateful that we meet. You were so nice. You were my first girlfriend. In high school, I was not involved with any girls. I do not know how many families would have taken me in. It was regrettable that your sister in law wanted to file R charges against me. This is why? And your mother wanted you to date other guys. This is never good…mother’s knows best, Perhaps I misinterpreted the situation. My guess I should not have said what I said. Unfortunately, we are in a caste system, mostly based on status and money. Finish college and you will be rewarded known as the reward system. I was there. Unfortunately, I could not get financial aid. Perhaps there are others factors such as love and spirit, to be in the flow is more real, maybe something, more tangible as a higher purpose.

What is it like to be discriminated against? What would it be like to have almost all equal rights and liberties taken away just because one is born among a certain race, or there is a different way of living within a specific group of people? This feeling of discrimination is one that no individual wants to feel. For the Hindu people, formerly known as “The Untouchables,” this was what they had to live with. The Untouchables, now called the Dalits, are the most oppressed community in India and have been denied civic and human rights throughout the decades.
