In her essay “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference”, Audre Lorde details multiple groups of people and their actions and attitudes. She focuses on and criticizes different demographics’ actions and how they impede the achievement of equality for people like herself. She portrays the disenfranchisement and underappreciation she receives multilaterally because of her race, social class, sexual orientation, age, gender. Lorde’s prevailing goal of the essay is to demonstrate that the marginalized should not nullify, ignore, suppress, or attack the expression of differences between themselves. Rather, she asserts that they should recognize and celebrate those differences to unite across demographic boundaries so they may together

Although I did get a chance to meet all of my relatives who live there, I was unable to do anything I had planned to do because some people were being self-centered. When we got there we spend a night at my Uncles

This brings the argument towards a specific line in Berger's "Ways of Seeing", where he discusses Adam and Eve becoming aware of their own and each other's nakedness
