Intersectionality: Global, Racial and Gendered Inequities
 
Watch, read, and summarize the following videos and informational pages in at least 3-4 sentences.  After completing your summaries, review my short note and then answer the following questions below:
First, read the Department of Justice’s Informational pages on
https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-ceos/child-sex-trafficking
https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-ceos/extraterritorial-sexual-exploitation-children


 
These materials were picked to help you think about how race, class, gender, and age intersect to affect the lives of people in complex and different ways, where their lives must navigate the intersections of various social inequities (racism, classism, agism, sexism, colonialism, globalization).  This is what we call, intersectionality, in sociology. 
These materials highlights how important the concept intersectionality is to help us see how women/girls of color (who are disproportionally economically disenfranchised within their societies and within colonial systems) navigate intersecting systems of oppression that complexly affect their lives, unlike, for example, White women in the US (remember: as we’ve learned, white women are significantly more likely to experience wealth, class, and racial privileges, despite still experiencing sexism).  Intersectionality also helps us to see how women/girls of color, through their voices, their experiences, their culture, music, art, fashion, etc., also usher in systemic change that all women/girls benefit from (all of society, really).
 
Using intersectionality as a lens answer the following questions:
Provide an example of intersectionality from one of the videos above–thoroughly unpack in detail what is taking place and most importantly, why.  Who benefits from the systems leading to these realities?
Provide a unique example where intersectionality (remember, use it as a lens to look at society, like a biologist looking through a microscope) helps you to see social problems where they intersect (something outside of class and/or from previous lessons this quarter).

 
What is Gender? Why Does Gendered Violence Exist?
 Read and summarize each of the readings listed below, separately, in at least 3-4 sentences. 
https://open.lib.umn.edu/socialproblems/chapter/4-4-violence-against-women-rape-and-sexual-assault/
https://open.lib.umn.edu/socialproblems/chapter/4-3-dimensions-of-gender-inequality/

 
300 words, provide a formative analysis of the week by incorporating all of the lessons into a cohesive understanding of what sexism is (gendered and sexual inequalities), how it manifests violently for gendered and/or other marginalized individuals (re: intersectionality–the intersections of race, class, gender, nation) and/or communities, locally, nationally and/or globally (you can focus on one or all societal scales as this week’s lesson did just that, but should also help you to reflect on our previous lessons on globalization and consumerism as well).  
Material Artifact:  After you have formulated an understanding of sexism, end your post with a material artifact that expresses a concrete way this complex social problem is being addressed, locally, nationally, and/or globally.

Points (20 Total)
My discussion has an intro, that broadly tells the reader what I am going to tell them about in the body of my discussion.
1
I have unpacked the lessons throughout the week with a focus on defining the social problem we explored and how we know it is a social problem (objectively or subjectively) 
4
I have brought in at least three class materials we have read or watched to unpack the social problem we are exploring.
After unpacking the social problem we are exploring, I have provided a tangible (real-life) example of how one aspect (narrowed down) of the social problem we are focusing on is being addressed in society (locally, regionally, or nationally).  When presenting my tangible example of social problem work, I describe thoroughly why I chose to highlight this specific example.
5
My material artifact provides a material understanding, which can include an analysis of a news articles, poetry, lyrics to a song, analysis of a book, conversation you had with an elder or community member, an observation of a local organization, non-governmental or non-profit organizations, or a social movement, etc. If necessary I have linked readers to websites and/or even uploaded pictures (of say a brochures or billboards).
I end my discussion with a conclusion that summarizes for the reader what I have unpacked in the body of my discussion.
1
I have thoroughly and thoughtfully responded to at least two other students’ posts.
