How does your identity influence what you can do in the fight against racism ​

English
1 answer:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Here's an example:

I identify as a white, pansexual female. I also acknowledge my white privilege—not that I <em>have more</em> than people of color but that I am <em>not treated negatively</em> because of the color of my skin. I don't face systemic racism. I don't worry about whether I will be followed through a store by loss prevention every time I go shopping.

I can also talk to my white friends and help them understand what unconscious bias is and how <em>they </em>can also use their privilege to uplift people of color. If they don't want to open their minds and their hearts or become educated on the matter, I move on. Sadly, you can't change everyone's mind and you can't force someone to feel a certain way or adopt particular beliefs. All I can do is hope. And yes, I've lost friends but I'm okay with that.

I've become an ally as well. I let my friends and everyone I know that I stand by them and will stand against any and all racist behavior. Not only will I stand against it, I will fight <em>with </em>them to obtain <em>true </em>racial equality.

Explanation:

Definition of White Privilege, taken directly from the Merriam Webster website:

the set of social and economic advantages that white people have by virtue of their race in a culture characterized by racial inequality

Examples of white privilege:

  • We don’t  fear for our lives when we come in contact with the police.
  • We don’t fear for our children when they walk down the street.
  • Our names are less likely to influence whether we have opportunities to interview for jobs.
  • Assumptions and opinions of us are not based on the color of our skin.

Another little-known fact:

The term "white privilege" dates all the way back to 1818, so this really isn't something new. People have just been brushing it under the rug and ignoring it, but now people are tired of ignoring it and they want justice and fairness.

Definition of Unconscious Bias, taken directly from the Vanderbilt.edu website:

Unconscious bias (or implicit bias) is often defined as prejudice or unsupported judgments in favor of or against one thing, person, or group as compared to another, in a way that is usually considered unfair. ... In contrast, deliberate prejudices are defined as conscious bias (or explicit bias).

Definition of Systemic Racism, taken directly from Wikipedia:

Institutional racism, also known as systemic racism, is a form of racism that is embedded as normal practice within society or an organization. It can lead to such issues as discrimination in criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power, and education, among other issues.

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the poem.
nataly862011 [7]

This poem is an example of brilliant short lyric which is sectioned into three stanzas. Each stanza carries six lines which help create a simple structure and a regular rhyme scheme- ABABAB.

The author wrote this piece of work in iambic tetrameter. Multiple poetic devices are utilized by Lord Byron, such as alliterations, imagery, metaphors, as well as similes. The diction is also very clear without any complex connotations which ultimately assists the readers to understand the poem more easily.

Therefore, after my analysis of this work, I suggest you to choose option "a", because the author's motif is none other than the option beneath this paragraph.

a) By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly.

The striking differences between the semantic organization of Native American languages and that of European languages, in both
Scilla [17]

Answer:

A). That of European languages, in both grammar and vocabulary, have.

Explanation:

As per the question, option A displays the correct form of the underlined phrase as it follows the grammatical rules and parallelism that comprehends the meaning of the sentence. The other options either contain parallelism error like in options B, D, and E (as the singular verb 'has' follows the plural noun 'striking differences') or grammatical error like in option C that wrongly employs 'those'. Thus, first option best suits the passage(grammatically) and comprehends the meaning of the passage. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Essential question: what is relationship between power and freedom? What has this speech taught you about power and freedom?
jekas [21]
The relationship between power and freedom is that they are both centered around feeling accomplished and dealing with the privileges of freedom or power and how having one or the other goes to show the socioeconomic status of the person who has it. Freedom and power are interconnected to give one the idea of importance and the effects of believing a cause and how this can result in either power or freedom.
