These two inequality axes of gender and class have been intersected to determine various outcomes that can be academic and non-academic. Gender and class discrimination are detrimental effects that have immense effects in patterning and predicting the outcome of a particular action and the success of an individual. In this essay, we will have a closer look into the effect of gender and class in the developmentof Clay, the protagonist in the story, the concert stages of Europe.

Social and Cultural conflicts in the Colonial Society Introduction It is an indisputable fact that the European culture and those of the colonies they ruled had a significant difference. This is taking into consideration the imperialistic nature of the European nations in the colonial era. In this case, the attempt that existed in creating and maintaining unequally established relationships in the modes of civilization caused the difference. This comes with the idea of the perception that a more powerful civilization has the favor. This means that the Europeans had the perception that their cultures were far much superior to the less civilized nations. The nations on the other hand in the quest to protect the culture that they believed was right and not blending into the western culture brought the heat in the conflicts. Taking a case in the difference in the religious systems that existed. It goes without saying that wherever there is an existence of two distinct religious systems, conflict would always exist.

Gender Performance The media industry plays an essential role in providing critical information to the public, owing to the significant influence it possesses on society. Three types of news media exist; print media, broadcast media, and the internet media, which is growing at an alarming rate. Due to the significant impact the media has on the audience; it influences various social perceptions of gender (masculinity and femininity). First and foremost, the press over represents men in online/news forums and presents fewer women hence creating bias. Secondly, women are more stereotyped compared to their male counterparts, thus limiting their possibilities to venture into the media profession. Lastly, the media promotes content that supports traditionally gendered (dominant-subordinate) relationships between men and women. Issues of gender-based violence are rarely addressed or covered by the media. One particular example of how the media creates gendered content is in the film industry. Hollywood, which is the largest film industry in America, offers lead roles to male actors and few supporting roles to female actors. Another example the media portrays in their content includes men being…

Response: Psychology, Gender, and Sexuality According to the guest speaker, it is evident that gender and sexual matters are kept too private by individuals at the time where openness is required the most. Basing my argument on the hospital statistics presented by the speaker, it is easily notable that people with gender and sexual issues that need to be addressed keep them to themselves for fear of stigmatization to come across. However, we may treat the matter of stigmatization as only a one-sided aspect of the whole affair, but it is ridiculous how we can meet the same thing among the health workers. When the health workers escalate to the level of stigmatizing the transgender persons the same way the community does, definitely the same people will never find peace or security in the process of seeking identity. In that connection, the guest speaker recognized the LGBT community as one that deserves care and support from the rest of the community or the government, if possible. That is because, at times, these individuals do not find the expected reception by…

‘Don’t believe everything you hear and see on the news?’ Have you ever heard ‘Don’t believe everything you hear and see on the news?’ This saying is very much factual because the media is very biased. What the news decides to cover is usually based on what will give them the most ratings and bring in the most viewers. In my opinion, the media is not a reliable source because it operates off what the networks want. This causes them to sometimes fabricate or twist the truth to make their stories or what they are reporting on juicier. According to an article on Investor’s Business Daily, A post-election survey of 1,000 voters by McLaughlin & Associates found that “a forceful plurality (48%) of respondents believe the media coverage is unfair and biased” against President Trump; Even 16% of Democrats agreed. They were deciding if the media is more biased towards progressive-liberal values or conservative values is challenging because the media is biased towards them both. There are so many different media outlets that the media can’t be identified as a…
