Toward a New Vision: Race, Class, and Gender as Categories of Analysis By: Patricia Hill Collins Summary- The author writes about oppression in society and how it is full of contradictions. She states that there are no pure victims or oppressors, but rather everyone experiences a different amount of penalty and privilege based on their race and social status. She believes that if women and people of colour could find that they have common grounds in regards to class, it will eliminate racism and sexism. Thesis is in bold. She asks 2 questions: 1. How can we reconceptualise race, class and gender as categories of analysis? - analysis of oppression are based on either/or dichotomous thinking (ex. Black/white, man/woman) and …show more content…
Money does matter Social Class and class relations -Socioeconomic status are important because economic resources are related to power in society, and economic inequalities influence nearly all aspects of people 's lives---Social class share similar life chances- they share opportunities to achieve success and gain economic power. [Social stratification] - is the concept used to refer to structured forms of economic inequalities that are part of the organization of everyday social life. (People from lower social class backgrounds have fewer opportunities to achieve success and gain economic power than people from the upper class) We learn little about the oppressive effects of poverty and the limited opportunities available to those who lack economic resources, access to good education and wellplaced social connections--the focus is on how economic inequality is Maintained in society, how it serves the interests of those with wealth and economic power, and how it affects what happens in sports and the lives of people associated with sports The Dynamics of Class relations Children’s enjoyment occurs in a framework that legitimizes and reproduces the power of adults over the lives of children. Class Logic People who use class logic to interpret their own lives often set out on an endless quest for individual economic achievement. They measure success in terms of how many "things" they

1. Both answers are correct. There are two different models for substrate binding: lock and key or induced fit. In the lock and key model, the active site of unbound enzymes fits perfectly with the complementary shape of its substrate. In the induced fit model, the enzyme changes shape to confirm to the substrate after binding.

Modern Forms of Social Control (Privilege & Discrimination) – The Social Construction of Race, Class, and Gender.
In reference to the subordinate position of women in American society, Malala Yousafzai once interestingly stated “We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.” This idea of women being “held back” and unable to exercise their individual identities in society is explored in Adrienne Rich’s Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers. Specifically, the woman poet examines the marginalization of women in society through the clear juxtaposition of Aunt Jennifer’s desire to be powerful like the fearless tigers, and the reality of her life as the subject of subjugation by her husband. In reading about the unfair oppression of Aunt Jennifer by a man, I became extremely emotional because I have a younger sister and involuntarily envisioned my own role in contributing to an American patriarchal society that devalues women and strips them of influence because of my own status as a male.

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,
In reference to the unjustified subordinate position of women in American society, Malala Yousafzai once meaningfully stated “We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.” This idea of women being “held back” in society is explored in Adrienne Rich’s Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers. Specifically, the poet examines the marginalization of women in society through the clear juxtaposition of Aunt Jennifer’s desire to be powerful like the fearless tigers, and the reality of her life as the subject of subjugation by her husband. As a person who self-identifies as a male, reading about the unfair oppression of Aunt Jennifer by another man forced me to involuntarily envision my own role in contributing to an American patriarchal society, and saddened me because I realize my younger sister will face similar struggles due to her gender.
Oppression against women is laden throughout Monica Ali’s acclaimed debut novel Brick Lane, where practically every woman, from the central protagonist to even more minor female characters, is a victim of some type of oppression, with the most common being patriarchal oppression. The women are mainly dominated by male figures, but limited by their culture and society as well; however, this does not imply the women are accepting of their situations. Instead, the women in Brick Lane practice different forms of resistance against their male oppressors. According to Donald E. Hall in Literary and Cultural Theory: From Basic Principles to Advanced Applications, “women have resisted and subverted… oppression in a variety of ways” (Hall, 203). In

She comments on the oppression experienced by woman through three distinct lenses: that of biological differences, that of the psychoanalytical perspective, and finally through the lens of historical materialism.
Society holds many structures that mould human performance and produce opportunities for some, but inequalities for others (Morrall, 2009). These structures in society are organized by the hierarchies of class, ethnicity and gender (Crossman, 2016). Due to having a society based on hierarchies, social inequalities are inevitable. Social inequality refers to the ways in which a group or individual of a certain social position may receive unequal opportunities or distribution of ‘goods’ such as education, income, living conditions and healthcare (Walker, 2009). These unequal opportunities may be given to someone because of their ethnicity, gender, income, religion or social class (Walker, 2009). For example, people in a high social class will be able to pay for their children to go to a good private school for a good education, whereas lower-class or working class people will struggle to afford the same education.
