1-3 First GEN college student students and many are not as Successful as Jarret

Social certification refers to a society’s categorization of its people into Ranking based on factors like wealth, income, education, family, background, and power

It was pretty interesting how they Compared stratification as layers found on rocks

People with more resources are the top layer. People with fewer resources are the bottom layer with using the layers on rocks.

An individuals place within stratification is called socioeconomic status or also known as a SES

Most Americans believe that rising and falling is based on individual choices

In the most society, stratification is an economic system based on wealth, net value and asset a person has

There is upper class middle class lower class

Upper class builds up 1/3 of countries, wealth, which have access to a lot of Power

I’ve always heard the word old money in movies, but I’ve never known what it was. In this article. We learned that old money is inherited from one generation to the next as well as new money as well. You have earned yourself.

Class traits is the typical behaviors, customs, and norms That define each class

Let’s say middle class have a degree most times lower class some lack high school diploma so there are ways to identify whoK Middle class lower class by their education Not always, but for the most part

Three parts of lower class are the working class which are land steady jobs

There is the working poor, which is underpaying jobs like formwork and cleaning

And then there is the under class which is homeless or broke

Culture shock is when a person achieves upward mobility that takes them out of their ongoing Class and into their Foreign Terrain of middle class

A number of analysis how concluded that the class location of parents is one of the most important influences on the socialization experiences of children

Wright Defines social class as based on three dimensions property skills/credentials and organizational control

(Class system In which is power over Oneself and others)

Social Refers to a network of social connections that can be efficiently mobilize by the family for it use

We all have different cultural environments. There is a total of 18 indicators of culture activities like the type of music you listen to going to Place reading books, newspaper magazines at home visiting museums, but some activities are considered high class and I get that idea because going to see classical music or hear classical music is more of a high class activity or taking dance lessons or visiting a museum

As being part of the working class, my family never really went to hear classical music or took dance lessons or visited any museums. We were more like let’s go to the park

Socialization in working class homes is in many different ways different from socialization and middle class or upper middle class homes

In the article states that middle class wants kids to be more interested in creating and self determination and working class wants kids to learn how to be able to support themselves

And I get that coming from a working class because my parents have always told me that I have to work for what I want and help out in the house and not really of them trying to Figure out who I actually want to be.

Poverty also makes possible the existence or expansion of respectable professions and occupations(Social workers, public health, criminology)

The poor provided jobs for professional and paraprofessionals"Poverty war"

Poverty

It can Forced people who have no other choice to do dirty work like underpaid, jobs, dangerous or temporary at a very low cost or wage on the good side it makes things cheaper, but at the end of the day I think the people should be paid what they deserve

Poor support innovation in medical practice as patients and teaching and research hospitals and guinea pigs in medical experiments.

Because the poor are required to work at low wages, they subsidize a variety of economic activities that benefit the affluent

Poverty helps to guarantee the status of those who are not poor

The poor being powerless can be made to absorb the cost of change and growth in America society

The poor could be replaced if poverty were eliminated, but almost always at a higher cost to others

Social register this was built to show status, wealth and social rankings in the past, And I guess you would not be considered a wealthy if any of your ancestors were not on this register, but But I think social identity should be more open, diverse, and earned and inclusive, and not gate kept by tradition

Wasp culture shaped America class hierarchy for a long time it influences who was seen as high society and who got access and who had power which connects to The social registered topic

The elements of upper clause

Upper class cohesion-Private, Boarding,, Metropolitan county Clubs

The rise of American boarding and the development of a national upper class 1980 Article by David O Levine

I think that elite American boarding schools have create an upper class that stays powerful because it keeps privileged inside of a very small circle

I think it would be harder for anyone else to try to become upper class if those upper class system were kept between a boarding or developing national school

The upper class has a distinct set of institutions that provides social and physical separation from the rest of the society and these intuitions in and in interact set of values and group a solitary within the upper class and Clearly, delineate class bound

Luis Keller was the founder and creator of the original social register in the late 800s he helped make class boundaries in the US more formal. His work is a huge part of why people talk about the wasp culture old money and social exclusivity and national upper class identity in sociology so basically he was the man who created the social register system and shaped Americas upper class identity

This is relate to article 6 on hiring ex convict because employers would have a certain stereotype towards Black people, making it less likely that they would get the job compared to white guys with criminal history

Milan, white racist movement is composed of people who permanently feel in crisis. They take one of the many jumbo belief sets in our heads and preserve it in sharpened intense form. They also let us see the racist parts of our souls with few filters. We should learn and observe

The way the author presented himself and for it to follow up with getting cat cause makes me think like you don’t even know the person but just because they said they are Jewel now they feel with the need to be very disrespectful

Racism is a way of perceiving the world and a way of thinking how mentioned in the article that we cannot Live day today and not absorbed some of that white racism into our thoughts I think it is very true because with without warning, it affects the way people think and see themselves and might cause those quick thoughts to come to our mind when we are being racist.

Attractiveness has been part of the construction of femininity how they mentioned in the article. We don’t really focus on aspects of ourselves like who we really are. We’re more focused on following feminine or trying to live up to the standard of how women should look, per se cheer cheerleaders when I was in high school had to be skinny beautiful clean And if you did not look like that, you were not going to make the team

And form more ranking really have a toll on a woman’s confidence making them feel like they’re being judged at all time without even asking like in the article boys make a list of the cute girl making the girl who is not on the list, very insecure of themselves

Girls tend to gossip about other girls and compare or judge them or let’s see if you’re wearing a brand that is just not at the time they would make fun of you. They criticize everything use Barbie movie for example when it was the part where they were saying how to be a woman You can’t be too fat, but you can’t be too skinny. You can’t be too light, but you can’t be too dark you gotta have some sort of boobs because if you don’t, then you’re not a woman, but if you have too much your provoking guys so these are just ideas that I think are observed, but really real in the real life Without control

The relations between men and women have definitely developed in social change, but men still dominate our social and institutions, according to the article of being born male or female, how are manliness or femaleness depend on what we learned and I agree because I’m not super feminine, although I love being feminine, but I can be a little Dirty like doing yardwork or just men like work, etc.

Talking about clothes or chores or toys I think Men are not really wanted in the cleaning of the house more like the yardwork or with clothes men are dressed with blue clothes or green clothes and girls are more Barbies and pink and purple they separate girl and boy with colors, clothing, and toys

-Play the sexual boundaries of tolerance

Let’s say the mom tells the boy to stay clean when arriving or guests are coming over but after they leave or go back to the house, they can start with their boy like behaviors like pushing, shouting and running and climbing on freedom. I think boys get more freedom and girls get their response that because you’re a girl boys get a little more freedom and self being for example in my house, I was not able to go out with my friends until I was the age of 17 but my brother at the age of 14 was going out with his friends and staying out late or if boys wanted to have a sleepover it was easier for them but for girls they have a little more control because they have a sense of needs to protect them.

With this article, I understood and related to how the way we say things can come off as other meanings depending on the ideas or what a person has gone through

In this article, we learned that conversation is a ritual which woman-Under understand a person’s feelings

Men-Maintain one up options or at least appear one-down

Apologies-

Women – Sorry, can’t mean taking the blame for something she did not do

(I caught myself doing this the other day when I was at the store and I was not in the person’s way or even near, but I Said I’m sorry when passing by just in case Passing by them was bothering because they had to move a little bit when it was just in my head)

I think men don’t really have that mentality and won’t really try to apologize for everything that goes on

Criticism-

Criticism can have one or two outcomes like you can either give critic hard, Which can be taken personal, if said in a certain tone Then, if you were to say the criticism in a Soft spoken tone it will come off as a nice criticism which I think it’s a regular criticism

Thank you-

Like many rituals, typical of women’s conversation it depends on the Goodwill of the other to restore the balance

Like for example, let’s say a woman is in an office and a male decides to help her. that woman will say thank you after, but if the male doesn’t balance that with a reaction or a certain way, I think the woman can take it as oh they were like forced to help me and did not really enjoy it and now I feel like they didn’t genuinely help me)

Praise-

Women like praises to know they did a good job , If not, they can misunderstand that and think that they’re not doing a good job

Complaint-

A man might take a woman’s lighthearted, gripping literally and can get reputation as chronic

Joke-

Women hold themselves back when making a joke because the men have a different sense of humor woman will be taken more serious if she learned to joke like a man

Looking at this video, another perspective of the world or of the society

Talking about percentages and numbers with the wealth inequality, you can really see the difference between the poor and the very rich

I think it’s good to see that the CEO found a way to make what the average person makes in a whole month that he can make in one hour, but I also think that the more wealth you have the more I think you would be required to pay your employees

But I like the sense of Yes you work your way up with the hard work, but not taking advantage of the people that work for you in a way

This video really helped me the same how bad the wealthy inequality in the United States is

1. what race are you?

I identify as Latina/Hispanic

2. How do you know? How do you make that decision?

I know this based on my culture background, my family roots, and the language I speak at home and in my Community as I Grew up.

3. How did you learn what race you were? Can you tell me about some of the early messages you first received about race?

I learned about my race through traditions and stories. My family would tell me at a very young age. I could tell that my culture had different language, food music, which helped identify what race I was.

4. How do you decide what race other people?

I think I normally decide what raise other people are with the Ideology that I have about what I have seen in movies or what I have seen or heard from people. I think at a younger age you do have more difficulty understanding these, but as you get older and experience, the world I think you get a very clear sense sometimes who, or what culture and race people are from

5. How do other people decide what race you?

I think in the same way as I would decide what other people’s race I think they do the same with mine in movie is that they watch or in what they see in people or what they hear.

We create an idea of what this culture or person would be like and if certain characteristics and ideas match it I think that’s how we tend to pair the race with the person

race is a way society groups people based on physical traits, ancestry, culture, and social Meaning

In my opinion, I think what it means to say that racist socially constructed is that it’s not based on biology. It’s more based on how you grow up and wet has been taught or passed down through culture, history and systems.

I went to target and I saw the different aisles of girl and boy toys

Like in The girl section, you see the Baby dolls and Barbies, and in the boys section, you see trucks and cars and dinosaurs. I think since we are little, we get those ideas that the girls play with Barbies and the boys play with trucks which I think there’s nothing wrong with that that’s just how we grown to think things. I think the message being sent by these toys and how they affect gender socialization is that maybe a kid because a girl is pink and dolls won’t feel comfortable going into the truck and boy aisle vice versa I think boys growing up with the idea that boys play with trucks and play in the mud, I think they would kind of stay away from the Girl section. in my opinion, I think that there’s nothing wrong with a girl playing with a truck and a boy playing with a Barbie, but the idea behind them that if a boy is playing with a Barbie, he is automatically part of the LGBTQ community when he is barely 5 years old is Is crazy I think that boys can play with whatever they wanna play and girls can play with whatever they wanna play and that does not mean anything nor we should put those ideas onto that

180-191 Sexuality and gender in children’s daily world

# data[].attributes.body
This article is based on 4th to 5th grade kids

In In this article, they stated that girls focus more on trying to be nice and boys are more focused on sports and testing limits of school

Children’s play is both boys and girls are helping to socialize one another into primary adult, gender rules which mean girls are more into emotions, intimacy, and romance, and then boys play the role of independence and sexuality

Basically, the scripts, they will follow as adults

The daily separation of grow and boys-

Gender segregation

This is when there is a boys table and a gross table that those kids make on their own or in class when a teacher says get into a group and the girls part with the girls and the boys pair with the boys also in playground boys tend to be in the monkey bars or playing the sport, and the girls tend to be in the concrete playing hopscotch

The interaction among boys is normally like real breaking, bad words, winning games, test

And when girls interact with each other, they are sometimes practicing chairs and dances, but they do come a little bit with drama and normally in fifth grade as where it starts with experience I feel like when I was in fifth grade I experience having different group of friends and normally one group would be versus one group of who would dress better But the loyalty within that group would start building those bonds

I think in this grade is when people are friends and then they stop being friends and all of a sudden everything they’ve talked about can be talked with that "Enemies

The tie to sexuality in males

In this article, they talk about how males progress with the idea of their sexuality. They mentioned how boys when they are little like in kindergarten or first they hug because they don’t get that sense of sexuality or like if I hug you then that that means I’m a certain way, but as they grow, I think They do fist bumps because of the knowledge that they have that if it makes sense

Ranking that are based on attractiveness have significant consequences for our lives

And we see this in our lives daily when going in for a job and the girl who is also trying to get the job is a little more attractive. I think there is also an idea How they mentioned in the article that because that person is more attractive, they are smarter or just better than the other person

Being beautiful comes with a lot of pros like

-Getting the job over people who are less attractive, but more qualified than you

-You get more promotions because you are more beautiful’’

-Without effort, you will have people who love you and friends

-Getting higher school grades or preferences because you’re more attract’’

All of these are examples they gave in the article and I really agree with them because maybe in my case it wasn’t that I was being compared with someone, but because I looked a certain way there were times where they would not even charge me for my food or they would give me a bigger tip Than my other coworkers

Which I think is not fair.

Horns affect Is the idea that if you are less attractive, you are mean, sneaky, dishonest, and antisocial, and poor sport to boot

Reading this made me realize how society attaches meaning to appear appearance and uses beauty to judge value the reading proves that beauty is socially constructed the same way as races. Society decides what is seen as attractive, and the people get labeled and treated based on that beauty Becomes another way of ranking us and giving privilege to some disadvantages to others

Gender harassment is distinct from sexual harassment

Sexual harassment implies harassment through sexual means,

Gender Harassment-Women can be harassed in other ways That are rooted in prejudice towards Woman in a man’s job

Forms of gender, harassment, like mentioned in the article or resistance to authority, Constant scrutiny, Gossip and rumors, Sabotage, And indirect the threats

In this article, they mention how guys think women don’t work out like them that they have easy, physical training or pregnancy advantages

Hostile proponents of women in compact includes"Let’s watch them fail"

They would let the women try combat, but would expect them to give up to be right and prove that the woman we’re not strong enough to be in combat

The hostile proponent of supporting women to watch them fail it’s Crazy but has been how it has been viewed for many years. The men’s complaints about women privileges I feel are not really about making things equal, but maybe about the fear of losing their identity. That men are stronger than women has been the idea that we’ve had for many many years and change is scary. Maybe that has something to do with that

A short story about 17 year-old black teenager who was visiting a multiethnic neck, gated community in Florida with his dad because his dad‘s fiancé lives there he walked to a convenient store to buy a snack as a white Hispanic man noticed him, grew suspicious of him, call the police on him, and eventually confronted and killed him. He was found not guilty of second-degree murder a shocking example of racial profiling, which is the use of race alone to determine whether to detain or investigate someone.

Race is a superficial physical differences that a particular society considers a significant ethnicity describes shared culture

Minority groups or groups that are subordinated or lack power in society, regardless of skin, color and country of origin

Overtime Race has become less connected with ancestry and family ties and more concerned with superficial physical characteristics

Ethnic is based on shared, cultural, like the practices, norms values and beliefs of a group that might include shared language, religion, and traditions among other communities

Ethnicity national origin

National origin has to do with geographical and political associations with a person’s birthplace and residence but people from nation can be off a wide range of ethnic 16 for example someone in the United States may refer to Vietnam Vietnamese people as an ethnic group, but Vietnamese is home to 54 formally recognize ethnic groups

He thinks we should be more like a Mulligan stew which that means everyone keeps their own flavor and culture, which is what makes America cool and creative in the first place

Paige admits that, even though he wants to be seen as American, the unknown reality of race keeps getting in the way showing that we still have a long way to go

Sex – refers to physical or physiological differences between males and females

Gender – our behaviors, personal traits and social positions that society attribute to being female or male

In this article, we read about gender roles, and how toys colors and clothes make up with people think of each gender for example one of the required pallets that we have to do was about going to that target section and seeing the aisles between boys and girls and how in the girl section there was more like Barbies and babies and kitchen Toys and in the boys it was more like monster trucks ,cars ,Lego.

But those gender roles change in every single society using clothes, for example, in different parts of the world men wear Skirts and in the past, if they were to see women in pants, it was a no go

Gender and socialization

I feel like in most places boys get away with more things which goes with the saying"Boys will be boys"

And they are more likely to play in the mud and play rough and be more strong. When the girls on the other hand, they should be more feminine. They should have clean nails and shower every day and they should have a clean room, etc..

Girls and boys have different expectations for example in my household. if us girls wanted to go out, we had to clean our rooms and help out in the kitchen before heading out and my brother who is older than us, but was a boy was able to go out with his friends without needing to do anything And maybe that really doesn’t have to do with gender roles because in this case he was older than us, but in some part of that it’s because he’s a boy, and he can really protect himself in the outside world .

Double standards also exist Which is the concept that prohibits per Mark chill sexual intercourse for women, but allows it for men, and an example of this would be that men can be with a lot of women and not be considered a whore or man whore, and then woman if they even sleep with more than three or even sometimes more than one would be considered a whore

Marriages and family are key structures in many Societies

Marriage is legally recognized social contract between two people

Sociology recognizes that the family today is highly diverse, moving beyond the traditional nuclear family, which is the married parents and children.

Some of the key family structures are single parents, which are headed by one parent due to divorce, widowed or choice and they often face economical challenges

There’s also a blended of families formed when parents from previous relationships, remarried integrating to family units and even foster families

Prohibiting families are unmarried couple couples living together. This arrangement has increased in prevalence. You see more of families that have been together for years, but just never married.

Sociology view

Functionalist view-See the family as essential for society, disability, performing vital and functions

Symbolic interactionism-Defines family based on interaction and shared meaning not just legal or bonds ties and this could be an example of a very close family friend that has been there your whole childhood they’re not related to you blood wise, but you would consider them your aunt or family

I relate to the older sibling parent role, especially because I had a lot of siblings. Every family structure has its issue, but these are the mayor Sociologist study

Divorce – it’s an emotional shock everyone, especially the kids, but it sometimes reduce his conflict

And I can get that because at times, yeah you want to keep the family together, but if keeping the family together means hearing arguments every night I just think it’s just a negative environment to have kids to grow up in and sometimes can cause issues of their own because they view this type of behavior

Re- marriages can be very stressful because roles are unclear when blending families

We also talk about balancing work and home for many people, especially women that second shift, which is the unpaid homework and children care this second shift really burns out women when they have to handle work and plus get home and cook dinner and get the kids ready and help them with their homework and etc.

The myth of the golden age

I need to remember that the idea of a perfect family passed is a myth based on selective, memory, and nostalgic

1950s look good in comparison with a hardship of the great depression and World War II, which I would get how it could look good after passing through those things

The specific family model was only made possible by post WW2 factors like high male, wages, subsidize housing, and booming economy

Historically marriage was primarily about securing economic and political ties between families, not about personal happiness or romantic, love

I feel like we’ve seen this in movies and even real life where a lot of of the parents of young girls will marry them to guys they have never met just because the family comes from money and recognition, which is horrible because they do not get a personal opinion or a romantic love with this marriage

Parents today are spending more quality time with each children than in the past which to me personally I love spending time with my dad and my mom and I can imagine how it was years ago trying to get that approval from them but not being able to really hang out with them

What people consider deviance in one culture might be different than another. For example, example tattoos were commonly known for deviance and some cultures but in another, it was a form of identity and art deviance is a violation of established contextual culture or social norms, whether Folks ways, way or codified law.

Deviance is not always bad how they mentioned in the chapter. Rosa Parks violate violated social norms when she refused to move to the back section of the bus, which, honestly to me deviance has always had a negative reputation by reading. This chapter made me realize that those bad deviance acts aren’t not actually so bad at times, but we have the idea because this is how our society is ran And sometimes when we see change, we tend to think that is a negative change deviance really is in all aspects of our lives

Social control – the regulations and enforcement of norms

Social order – an arrangement of practices and behaviors on which society members based our daily lives

Crime is established by legal codes and upheld by criminal justice system three branches of the criminal justice system is the police the courts and the corrections crime and deviance are totally not the same. There are violent crimes non-violent crimes and crime, corporate crime and victim less crime.

And how we mentioned in class, we have all basically have crimes in our life when it comes to may be going over the speed limit for example, but those crimes we do not see them as a deviance act, but they are against the law

Hate crimes are based on persons, race, religion, and characteristics

The 1972 Andes plane crash Tragedy focuses on the sociological phenomenon of the survivors resorting to cannibalism as a means of survival the primary argument framed through the lens of the social construction of reality is at the survivals were compelled to execute a radical definition change regarding the human corpse in other words, make the meaning of the human body more into the idea that it was just meat

Redefining it from a sacred body to a non-human meat

In order to align with their actions with a ‘duty to survive’

This profound cognitive shift was reinforced by the establishment of normative rules like in your mind right now you are thinking like no I will never eat a human body because we have a symbolic reasons to not want to get a human body

But in those cases of survival at the end of the day, we are just meat, Ultimately, the case illustrates how fundamental definitions of reality and corresponding group norms can be altered under conditions of extreme stress to ensure the physical and physiological presence of a group

Education is a social institution through which me members of a society or taught basic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural norms

International differences in education systems, value paste on education, amount of time, devoted to it, and the distribution of education within a country

Honestly, I think it’s it is interesting. How school is in the US put so much focus on individualism and competition growing up here. It is normal to try to be the best at everything. but thank you, see China, which is where the group come first you realize our system really shaped how we see ourselves and how we see others boosting self-esteem, and wanting to accomplish in. Life is good but at times it can feel really stressful having all of that pressure

The US talks a lot about equal opportunity, but in education not everyone is getting the same shot, for Example

On Monday, I went to the gym early in the morning, and this person walks in to the gym and has his own speaker to put his own music and it might not have been something major, but just no one does that because first the gym has a tone music second, I feel like you’re just violating people’s like time

I think the norms that were being broken here were that going to the gym you take either your headphones or just listen to the music in the gym or just not listen to anything but taking a speaker to take while you’re working out I think is crazy this person was African-American And normally when I have had a previous jobs African-American do tend to take their own speaker just so they could put their own style of music so I feel like I kind of associated with that. I feel like you should be able to take your own speaker, but I think for respect to other people workout time if you want to play a certain music, you should get your headphones And not play loud music because not everyone can enjoy each other’s music.

I think this happened to me once where I heard that we were allowed to play music, but no one would play music so I decided to bring my own speaker and play music that I liked. I feel like at that moment you can see how it was sort of like what the African-American did at the gym, but I was taking consideration song request just to make them feel a little more comfortable, but I can see how they could get annoyed by that

I think this situation just made me feel like they were kind of crazy or just not thinking of other people maybe come off as a selfish person or just a very obnoxious person

This article is basically about how prisons can change people in really damaging ways. Zimbardo says it’s not the prisoners or guards are naturally crazier or violent. It’s the prison environment that brings out the worst in people. He shares a letter from a real inmate who is being isolated and treated horribly

Which shows how Dehumanizing prison can be

Then he talks about his Stanford prison experiment was shocked me is that the people in the experiment which is regular college students but Once they were assigned to be guards or prisons, they started acting completely different. The guards got mean and abusive, and the prison became stress scared and depressed. It all happened so fast that they had to shut down the experiment and only six days

Reading this made me realize how powerful a bad environment can be. It shows that regular people can turn cruel or helpless just because of the rules they are put into to me. It proves that prison don’t fix people. They usually make things worse. This article made me think that the real problem isn’t just the people inside Prison it’s the whole system and how it stripped away someone’s identity and dignity

So, Rosenhan's whole experiment is basically this major wake-up call that showed getting a crazy person label is a total disaster. eight normal people lied about hearing voices just to get into a psych ward, and every single time, the docs were totally fooled. Once you're branded with a label like "schizophrenic," it's like wearing a weird pair of glasses that makes everything you do look sick. The staff couldn't see the normal stuff the patients were doing because the system and the label were just too powerful. Honestly, it's a terrifying because it shows that sanity isn't just in the person; its dependent on the messed-up environment they're in, and that label sticks like superglue even when you're clearly fine. And I feel like I can see how maybe even one thing can make a person reputation change in the society, for example, in high school when someone made up a rumor about a girl and even though it was not true, they would still call her names and just try to avoid her as much as possible. then she would try to talk to a guy that she really actually liked, and they would not pay attention to her because of those false rumors

In my view, Jennifer Hunt's provides a crucial, and disturbing, insight that brutality isn't necessarily about recruiting "bad apples," but about a toxic occupational culture that makes questionable force "normal". It's shocking how the formal, legal boundaries learned in the academy are quickly overridden by the informal street code, where peer pressure demands an aggressive disposition to be seen as a "real street cop". What truly stands out is the elaborate system of excuses and justifications officers use to normalize and validate acts that are often legally or morally ambiguous, especially against those they deem "morally reprehensible". This shows that the problem isn't just about individual actions, but about a system that provides a ready-made vocabulary to make excessive coercion seem necessary and even righteous.

When I looked through the first 50 beauty photos online,Most of the pictures were of women, and they all looked kind of the same,skinny, perfect skin, long hair, very “model-type.” There were a few men and some people of different races, but not a lot. I also barely saw any plus-size people, older people, or anyone who didn’t fit the “perfect” look.i feel like these differences exist because the beauty industry still pushes one look they think everyone wants. A lot of the photos are edited too, so it’s not even realistic. Companies basically pick the people they think will sell products, and it ends up creating a very limited idea of what “beautiful” is supposed to look like.Seeing these images all the time definitely affects people. It makes you compare yourself and feel like you’re supposed to look that way too. It can make people feel insecure or like they’re not good enough, just because they don’t match what they see online. it sends the message that only certain types of people are considered “beautiful,” which can mess with people’s confidence.

I’ve watched hidden figures like 10 times and it still never get tired of it every time I watch it I noticed something new and it hits me all over again how inspiring the story is the movie shows three black women working at NASA during the space race and it’s crazy how talented they were but how many barriers they had to deal with just to be taken seriously But I love most is how the movie makes his real history with The personal stories of the woman is not just about math or space it’s about confidence standing up for yourself and proving people wrong watching them push through racism and sexism while still keeping their heads high. Makes the whole movie feel powerful for me. This movie always reminds me that sometimes you really do have to work twice as hard just to be seen, but it also shows how strong women can be when they don’t give up. That’s probably why I keep re-watching it motivates me every single time.

One way I was socialized into my gender as a Straight girl was to do the things people expected me to do growing up for example I was always told to like a lady and people like keep my voice down and look presentable even little things like being encouraged to play with dolls, instead of Ruth toys and being told to help in the kitchen while the boys didn’t have this really shaved how I saw myself And I think it’s not a bad I think that I actually like being a girl or being more feminine, but at the time I didn’t notice it much but looking back those moments definitely told me what people thought a girl was supposed to be like

It made me realize how much of my identity was shaped by expectation I didn’t choose, but I guess it’s just a way life works or was
