This article talks about how consumerism runs every aspect of our lives and the holidays especially and then switches to discussing how the prison system has also become a capitalist venture with private prisons and charging inmates for services.]]> 2021-11-30 17:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/8jmc2xb8ywc3sfyk/wish/1920964657 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/8jmc2xb8ywc3sfyk/wish/1920965585 I think this is a great topic, I have a friend who is on strike now. ]]> 2021-11-30 17:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/robinallyn/8jmc2xb8ywc3sfyk/wish/1920965585 https://padlet.com/robinallyn/8jmc2xb8ywc3sfyk/wish/1920967164 I chose this article because I found it interesting the way that he talked about social norms. It's funny how we sometimes don't even notice when we participate in social norms. The most interesting part of the article is when he mentioned sociologist Laurie Scheuble is quoted as saying the pressure exerted on women to change their maiden name “is the strongest gendered social norm that we enforce and expect.” I didn't know it was that much of a big deal for women.

The article then goes on to say that "Christian nationalism has been linked to racism, anti-immigrant sentiment, anti-Muslim sentiment, and attitudes opposing gender equality, gay rights, and welfare spending; all issues that the Trump campaign leaned into." I chose this article because I find religion to be an interesting social-psych topic and it is also politically, which I enjoy.

Asian discrimination is oftentimes overlooked, however the topic of intersectional racism can be heavily analyzed through the discussion of Asian-American discrimination specifically. Additionally, the mention that the perpetuation and perception of Asian-Americans stems from a lack of understanding of the roots of Asian-American culture is extremely accurate in my experience.
