Capitalist Liberal Democracy and Human Government Introduction The world today is full of liberal thinkers whether we admit or not. Everyone wants equal rights by various constitutions guarding these nations. Some of these rights are subverted due to the emergence of ethnic and religious conflicts which extends into denying individuals their freedoms. This can be witnessed in civil wars which encompasses both blood and cold wars. Many parts of the world witness this type of conflict (Diamond, 2014, pg. 87). We reject racial differences while cherishing the freedom of association and the freedom of worships.

Gender inequality and discrimination against women Gender inequality and discrimination against women is a social problem that has affected society for generations. Most of society regards women to be the weaker sex in terms of mental and even physical ability. Even though this has changed in modern times with the Rise of Women’s Rights movement groups, women faced oppression and discrimination due to their gender, with even worse conditions when the ethnic background was considered. According to Crenshaw, social problems affecting women as a class are often perceived as individual and isolated. This is because they failed to consider intersectionality among antiracist and feminist practices (p. 1242).

Despite exploring intersections in gender and race, Crenshaw suggests including other factors like color, age, sexual orientation, and class (p. 1245). This concept has been utilized on many occasions in the film industry. Intersecting inequalities of gender, race, and class, are seen to impact the lives of…
