It's about the social class, the capitalist class and the working class
the workers are selling the labor power to the capitals, and get a low wage.
the capitals take the results of labor to benefit themselves.

I am not working now, but for my friend, he is working in a company and doesn't have enough time to rest, he is being exploited by the capitalist.

to challenge, it can be achieved by strikes. Workers stopping work and expressing their demands can force capitalists to make changes, such as increasing rest time or increasing wages.

race gender ability sexuality.

People may be marginalized because of their race, they cant find a good job.

Gender marginalization may occur because someone is given fewer opportunities because of gender.

People with disabilities are considered as useless labor and may also face marginalized.

Individuals may also be marginalized because of their sexual orientation.

Challenging marginalization can be done through reparations for marginalized groups, which can include financial reparations for marginalized groups, providing education and employment opportunities, land reparations, and so on. For black people, there is the "10 points program" for reparations, which calls for reparations for past racism and marginalization of black people.

Marginalization is outside the labor system, exploitation is in it. Both types of systems are related to the people about working, and even if they are exploited it does not mean that they can stay within the labor system forever, as soon as they are considered useless labor, they are marginalized and excluded from the labor system.

People have no control over their lives and work, are not respected, lack authority and have no influence.

For exploitation, I think it would result in the exploitation of non-professional workers by professional workers because the professionals have the authority and decision-making ability to get the non-professionals to do more and then take the spoils for themselves. For the capitalists, they can pay the non-professionals less because they are not professional enough so they should take less money.

For marginalization, it is easier for those who are powerless to be marginalized because they lack the influence and authority to speak for themselves, and this marginalization increases powerlessness.

wenyuli11 — 2023-11-30 08:36:42 UTC

For race, people can be powerless to express themselves due to societal biases against race.

For gender, women and non-binary people may feel powerless in a male-dominated social structure.

For age, young people may feel powerless due to lack of experience in working.

For ability, people with disabilities may feel powerless because they are not considered normal laborers due to their limited mobility

For social class, they belong to the working class, they belong to the class exploited by capitalists, which increases the powerlessness

For sexuality, the people who are not straight, they are likely to be treated differently, such as "gay lawyers", so they may feel powerless.

For citizenship, they may feel powerless because they don't speak professional English

With code-switching, people can communicate in different scenarios, which allows them to retain their own culture while communicating with people from different cultures, which challenges the powerlessness caused by culture and language

Dividing different people into higher and lower classes according to a certain culture or custom, and then powerful groups imposing their own cultural standards on disadvantaged groups, leading to a weakening of the culture and identity of disadvantaged groups

For race, white culture is seen as dominant, but African Americans are seen as inferior, in which case expressions of black culture, such as music, dance, language and art, are often negatively labeled as a form of cultural imperialism.

In terms of social class, the upper classes, such as capitalists, who are economically and politically dominant, impose their cultural practices and lifestyles on other classes. This usually takes the form of the culture of the higher social classes being seen as "refined" while the culture of the lower classes is seen as "vulgar". This is also a form of cultural imperialism.

"Double consciousness" is a psychological state that reflects the contradiction between self-identity and social identity. In the eyes of the culturally inferior groups, they see their own identity from their own perspective, but they also see themselves from the perspective of the superior culture. For me, I come from China as an international student, but I sometimes care about what people think of me because my English is not good, so sometimes I am considered an outsider from the perspective of the local people

wenyuli11 — 2023-12-09 04:27:32 UTC

For double consciousness, I think this can be solved through education, and it can be done by constantly emphasizing cultural imperialism to make people aware of the problem, so that they can think outside the box and think seriously and objectively about their own culture, instead of being defined by others

Violence is directed against members of a particular group because they belong to that group. The violence is directed against individuals, but it is also directed against a group because they belong to that group. In this case the idea of violence against a group is so deeply embedded in society that subconsciously everyone imagines these groups being violated.

wenyuli11 — 2023-12-09 04:48:54 UTC

In the social category of gender, women are often considered to be the victims of violence, for example, in a heated argument between a couple, there is always a concern about whether the woman will be harmed, and even if the man has no intention of harming at all, it is still assumed that the man is the aggressor and the woman is the victim

wenyuli11 — 2023-12-09 05:01:15 UTC

In cultural imperialism, people label different cultures, which makes people think that certain people belong to an inferior class, which makes society think that it does not matter if they are violent or not. And as the violence deepens, people deepen the binding of violence to this group, which intensifies cultural imperialism and makes people think that these people deserve to be violent.
