"Exploitation enacts a structural relation between social groups"

In my own words:

Exploitation creates a hierarchy between social groups, where some groups receive benefits while the others don't

Race: certain ethnic groups can be exploited by being paid significantly less than their white coworkers, but due to limited legal protection, they are unable to advocate for better conditions and pay

Class: Capitalists exploit the labor power of the working class by paying them less than what their products are worth, but because they need to be paid to live, they can't argue with their employers

Gender: The wage gap between men and women can be considered exploitation because they are both producing the same thing but not being paid the same. Women and girls are also disproportionately exploited through sex and human trafficking.

People who are not in the dominant group will always be exploited because of the systems we have in place that allow for it. It is also important to see all the intersectionalities of a person's identity and understand which identities are being oppressed or exploited so we can question how to take apart that system and rebuild it into something that brings people together.

Ability: Capitalism creates this idea of what is good labor and bad labor, defining what disabilities are, and marginalizing those who are disabled

Race: Systematic racism marginalizes ethnic groups, this can lead to limited opportunities for these ethnic groups to become successful

Citizenship: People who don't have U.S citizenship face legal barriers and social stigma that limit their opportunities in education and the workforce

One way I can think of challenging marginalization is to educate my peers. I found myself in a lot of leadership positions this school year, and there can be many ways we can implement learning about marginalization. As an ARC peer mentor, we could hold workshops to help people understand marginalization and how it connects to them. As a director and Head writer of this year's PCN, we can write in something about challenging marginalization, maybe not in a capitalist sense but in the idea of being excluded from participation.

Powerlessness is when someone doesn't have control of their labor power

# data[].attributes.body
In both exploitation and marginalization, people can lack control of their own labor power, which leads to powerlessness.

In exploitation, someone can be taken advantage of. In this situation they lose control of their labor power, resulting in powerlessness.

In marginalization, being excluded from the labor force expels someone from being able to participate in society and use their labor power, resulting in powerlessness.

Race: Systematic racism limits the social, economic, and political influence of ethnic groups, increasing the possibility of powerlessness.

Class: The idea that there is a working class and a middle class. Society created a division between what they consider professional workers and nonprofessionals, with privilege being for professionals only, this leads to powerlessness.

Gender: The pay gap between genders can lead to powerlessness.

Ability: People who are disabled are labeled as "bad" labor, so they're expelled from the workforce. They then are dependent on the government for money or other family, leaving them powerless.

Gender: Gender roles and cis-normativity placed onto people, determined by the cis-white dominant group. This can cause people who do not fit the binary established, that they aren't normal and need fixing.

Men are to think of their body as a tool to use to get what they want and women are to think of their bodies as a project they must work on to please others

Sexuality: Heteronormativity diminishes the identity of the LGBTQIA+ making them feel less than. It can even cause internalized homophobia or self-hate due to being alienated or witnessing treatment towards the LGBTQIA+

Ability: It is connected because disability and what is considered "good labor" is determined by Capitalists, who are the dominant group within capitalism. Some may develop the double consciousness and really believe that they can't work (maybe due to not being given opportunities) and stop trying.

Religion: In the U.S we are supposed to be accepting of all religions, but there are still certain stereotypes and biases towards certain religions. Because Christianity and Catholicism are the dominant group, there are more resources (Churches) for them to gather in. Other religions have less, creating this idea of who is more important. It can cause people to stop practicing their religion because there is a lack of a sense of community.

As a Trans man I started to look at myself at how white, cis, het, men would look at me, and find ways to hide parts of my identity that signaled me out to the dominant group.

Violence impacts more than just the individual who was involved. It instills fear of violence on anyone part of the same social group, and the social systems we have in place make this violence seem okay.

Gender: Violence on women.

Example: Rape is considered a women's problem rather than men's. Society puts the blame on women, justifying the violence, and causing other women to fear the potential of sexual violence.

Sexuality: Violence on the LGBTIA+

Example: Acts of violence on a gay/trans person can cause the rest of the community to fear violence. Society will blame them because they are "rubbing their sexuality" in their face. Some states also still have the Panic Law in action.

Race: Racial targeting and violence

Example: Police brutality on an African American. This can cause the rest of the community to fear the police. And because the police hold authority, they have the means of adjusting the narrative that the media receives, making their violence "acceptable".

Ability: Hate crimes on the disabled

Disabled homeless people are sometimes beaten up by teens. Because these people are looked down upon in cities, the violence is overlooked.

Marginalization happens to the group of people who are excluded from exploitation. Marginalization keeps people from being exploited in the working class, however this also limits their access to necessities for living

I think code switching can work to an extent. I do it a lot with work and it helps me make connections and network, however, I do think that people's prior prejudices and societal stereotypes can play a role in whether someone will interpret you as "professional".

Some ways to get rid of cultural imperialism or double-consciousness would be to not let society define what or who something or someone has to be. Being able to define what a man or a woman is, for example, on your own terms should be more important than adopting the idea of the dominant group, because those adopted ideas benefit only the dominant group. Also questioning the norm and being curious as to why certain things are considered normal while others are not.

# data[].attributes.body
Cultural imperialism promotes violence as a social practice by causing victims of violence to adopt double consciousness and also blame themselves. It also causes society to share the same ideas and blame the victims of violence and not hold the attacker accountable. Cultural imperialism causes society to adopt the ideas of the dominant group so when the dominant group commits acts of violence, no one sees it as an issue. Cultural imperialism allows the dominant group to control what is normal, so if they normalize violence, so will the rest of society.
