This goes back to utopia, where nobody has more power over another person and everyone gets along. I believe that this will never come, because there will always be at least someone more respected that more people will listen to and someone less respected that less people will listen to, meaning one person still has more power than another.

i think he was a sexist because in the book it doesn really mention what the women do in their daily lives while their husbands are working it only seems to talk about the guys and he also puts curlys wife out there like shes just only coming up in the book when she goes to see the other guys and have a converstaion and he also makes curly look like he doesn´t treat his wife good

you can have power but but not every one likes you like kim jong un he has a whole load of power but he’s not highly respected i think respect comes with power

I think it's apparent this book was written 90 years ago, the language and conversation about women, black people, and abled people is harmful and not appropriate. I wonder how this book would have been written today by Steinback, in a culture where that isn't tolerated.

I think power is being able to impact others or have influence on others when making decisions. Like how a president has power and what they do can make differences in their country. -Harvey

I think that Crooks and Curley's wife have limited descriptions because during the time period, they were not treated as individuals or whole people. They are not noticed enough and don't have enough attention to be described. In Curley's wife, we see this with her only being described one way and not even getting her own name, only being described as a "wife". For Crooks, he is not even allowed to sleep in the same bunkhouse as the other men.

The media I see always pushes against racism more, rather than sexism which seems a lot more invisible and dismissed, as "men will be men" and when women do something they're the bad ones, whereas I don't see the same kind of excuses for matters of racism.

Yes I think it will always exist because in this world, there will always be unfairness that can't easily be changed anymore. We always need someone with more power so there will be more control in society. It will be unfair but I think that's how life is. - Tina

I define power as being held to a high standard and "at the top of the food chain". Having respect, whether it be forced or gained naturally.

# data[].attributes.body
yes are whole government is a form of a hierarchy

Because media is often focused around white men, not acknowledging anyone else. Especially during this time.

Chenxi-I define power as has having control over someone. The power is making others honor them, and they’re the kind of people who’s at the top of the society class.They’re also the type of people who influence one of another.

I think that during the time period that Steinbeck wrote, women an most minorities were regarded as subhuman so he didn’t feel the need to go into depth

Because back then people of color and women didn’t get recognized or were seen as less of people.

I think a double standard would be, and especially in this book and in conversation of this book, is the ignoring the disgusting behavior Lennie is treated with. Everyone in the book, especially George take advantage of Lennie, and when looking at this book from a Critical lense, we need to pay attention to that. Ability issues aren't always focused on in our conversations criticizing material like this, when other things are.

I think hierarchy will always exist because I believe someone will always be in power therefore there is an order in which there is power. Someone always has to be at the top and the rest fall under accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because even in a utopia there will still be leaders and people who have more power then others

There are always double standards around gender, like for example women ideally are expected to take care of the kids and get judged if they don't. But when men take care of kids, people just assume the men are so nice taking time to take care of their children. - Tina

After all the achievements we promote white men having done, it's a lot easier for people to liken another white man to those "greats" than it is to see women and/or people of color with those sorts of achievements. They have to work harder to be recognized because we don't practice recognizing them enough.

I define power as the ability or how much of ability you have to control a situation whether that’s through laws, money, or strength.

Chenxi-From this book,I can tell that they’re both a sexist and a racist. Crook would be one of my example for racist. He’s the only black man working in the farm, and doesn’t get a lot of respect. Especially from Curley’s wife. As for sexist, I would say Curley’s wife might be a good example.She is not showing in a standard way how a woman should be presented. In her life, she has to rely a man for living to get her freedom.

I think lately both have been recognized much more in the world. People took both pretty lightly until not that long ago. But now I would say there’s less casual racism not being called out or recognized then sexism. Sexism is still pretty normalized like gender wage gaps. And how people treat women on social media, or even just on the street. Racism is still a big problem it’s just more called out now. -Harvey

I think that racism is more acknowledged in our current society because sexism is often something played off as being "fixed". With BLM protest and all the violence happening to people of color in our communities, we are often reminded of racism everyday. Sexism however, is more underlying. It's in offhand remarks and paychecks, opportunities. While this is something that also affects people of color, I don't hear about it much in terms of sexism as much as I do racism.

I think this is because when the boom was written both people of color and women were seen as less of people than white men therefore he paid less attention or gave less of a description to/ for those characters.

# data[].attributes.body
Chenxi- Yes, I think it always exist. People who has more background, education, and wealth will always affect the position they’re at.The reason why I think it always exist is because those people had more knowledge than others, they know how to keep the power and maintain it well.They are more of the influencers.

I think society acknowledges racism more because people look at someone's appearance first by the way they look or dress then decide how they want to treat that person. - Tina

I think he was more sexist than racist, Curleys wife was constantly sexualized and doesn't even have a name, Crooks was dehumanized as well, but he did seem to gain and develop character throughout the story but obviously that doesn't excuse the way he was talked about and written. people were much more discriminatory against minorities so it was much more tolerated during the time the book was written

I think that people of color were thought of less then especially by white men like the author of the book. And the same goes for women like the woman in this book was just referred to as a tramp, and didn’t get much more of a description. I guess the book kinda limited getting to know side characters as well. -Harvey

# data[].attributes.body
Racism has been much more prevalent in society than sexism. Although it is being talked about much more than in the past, that doesn't mean that theres been any measures to stop it like the discrimination of other races.  Things like the pay gap or school dress codes, or just the way women are talked about shows that, while when people talk about race they seem less likely to say something discriminatory due to the way society views racism today.

Yes, no matter what there will always be someone on the top, unfortunately i don't think our society would be able to function without someone having control over others, its just the way our society works
