valuesthatjustifythepowerstructuresinsociety suchasthestoriesmythsrepresentation explanation rationalizationsthatareused tojustifyinequityinsociety Individualism Meritocracyare examples of ideology Individivislim is an example of ideology that keeps structural inequalities between the dominant group and the minority group as it explains that our social identities do not influence our social standing. It ignores the systemic oppression that women, people of color, transgender people, etch experience in society. But in reality, our social identities greatly influence how we can thrive in society. For example, students' race and socioeconomic status have a huge impact on the types of schools they will be enrolled in; white students from higher-income families will go to affluent schools, and students of color from low-income families will go to poor or low-income schools. This shows how students from higher-income families will have greater privilege than students of color from low-income families. They will have greater resources and opportunities to better knowledge, qualified teachers, and pursue higher education. iiiiii our Culture lies beneaththesurface suin as valuesattitudes practices norms that governhow we behave in society While we beableto identifysuperficialelementsofculture suchasfooddress music deeper may levelsofculture suchas notionsof modesty conceptsoftime aremoredifficulttosee pg36 Sexism oppression inequalitybased on gender e.ggenderviolencecaregiversdomestic oppressinworkers Understanding the Invisibility of through Sexism pppppppyy.ggyappy qq.gg pyygggpgyqyg gpgyggggyggagyg.gggig flows Pg103 Thesystematic oppression of women men Sexism is based on thebelief by thatmenareinherently superior to women WhatMakesSexism difficultto see 1 Asasociety thedominantculturefocuseon individuals act of womenoppression w o seeingtheboarder patternof sexism happening it's giftsfgrnpgpnglesetf.ms nthletsocial 2 Corporateculturereniforces thenormalized gendervoles eg masculinity feminity A gendertoys 3 Sexism in oureveryday lives is obscuredthrough theideology of the West as civilized liberated non westerncountriesnot Womenare socialized to believethat in U.S Canadatheyareareliberal havethe freedom todowhatever theywant But in realitywomenin western countriesare experiencingoppression throughthe gendernorms movies ads musicvides that degradethem
