Gender is a learned as socialized identity society enforces.
In this specific photo there is the celebration of a baby shower. Instead of the "norm" colors used to specify girl or boy; being pink and blue, our family friends used neutral colors. They are breaking the gender "norm" created by our society and labeling our baby's as a boy or girl with the colors pink or blue. Instead of automatically using the socialized thinking with the colors pink or blue, and assuming someone's baby is a boy or girl; here in our friends photo you are less inclined to use the "pink brain, blue brain" thinking. Because the environment surrounding the baby is less about the assigned gender society usually focuses on, the plasticity of the child thinking changes as they grow up, and can lead to less early socialization of their child by not enforcing their chosen gender through society portrayals of what makes a girl or boy.

It only had heterosexual romance books, and no people of color or any LGBTQ+ representation in their romance section. This goes to show our society sees heterosexism as acceptable and any other LGBTQ+ relationships as a deviance, as there is no romance books that include a relationship other than one between a man and women. Heterosexism is discrimination against any homosexual or LGBTQ+ relationship by displaying and pushing that heterosexual relationships are the only accepted relationships/normal.]]> 2022-04-04 05:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2127995689 w1802523 https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2127996957 This is an image in Citrus Heights that shows how the rise of poverty that has taken place here specifically. This area is where I currently live and have seen changes in poverty, compared to years in the past. Because the cost of living is not sustainable anymore, people sadly become homeless and in poverty. Minimum wage barely is able to keep lower class and working class from being in poverty. Rent, food cost, and gas costs are all needed in order to sustain in our society; but their prices have all risen within the past years as well so for lower and working class already living paycheck to paycheck can not sustain with rising prices that have taken place. For most seventy percent of income goes to rent, but with having phone bills, insurance, groceries, and car bills there is little to no room for anything else to be spent on. All of these aspects are needed to sustain in our society as well, so there has been more poverty the more these things rise in price, and become less accessible to people; which causes poverty.]]> 2022-04-04 05:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2127996957 w1802523 https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2127998408 This picture is from my workplace at the Folsom Premium outlets, showing vomit all over the floor and clothes. I am connecting the concept of privilege to this photo due to how the customer treated and acted about this incident. As minimum wage retail workers there is a lot we have to deal with already, and not getting amazing benefits along with our jobs as well. But the treatment from some people specifically in this area is concerning. There is defiantly a wealth gap between workers and customers. As I myself find the prices to be way out of reach. But the fact that the women with the child who vomited all over the floor and clothes costing the store money and the clothes had to be thrown away, walked away and made the workers clean after her after just leaving the store shows an amount of privilege she may have or thinks she has. The way they were treated as if they should clean after her, due to their status compared to her is why I connect this to the concept of privilege, and the sense of entitlement and advantage she portrayed having over the workers at our store.]]> 2022-04-04 05:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2127998408 w1802523 https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2128036616 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_17-LX36Io
This video is a depiction of an encounter that is transphobic, and someone using their negative biases to discriminate against these trans women. I believe this video was meant for us to see this as an example of transphobia, and the discrimination that happens against the LGBTQ+ community.  This is an example of gender inequality, as well as it showing society still sees anything other than heterosexual as deviance; as this group cannot even exist/be themselves in a public place without being confronted. This gender inequality goes hand in hand with racial inequality; as shown in the video as well with these trans women being of color as well. People of color who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community not only have to deal with discrimination against their gender identity, but they also have to deal with the discriminations against their skin color; such as false biases about their culture, or unjust treatment by the justice system. Both group deal with the same issues when it comes to the justice system, as they are not fully protected, since they are even discriminated against by our justice system.
8. What is missing from this that is important to note?
I think that some information that relates to the Youtube video of transphobia and gender inequality is the fact that there are still actual hate crimes still happening against this group. The video was a display of a rather civil confrontation, but with information about hate crimes rising to 43% from 2015 to 2016 is alarming how recent that has been to today.
10. How is this represented in media?
This specific topic of gender inequality and transphobia has been portrayed much better today, do to more advocating and holding our society accountable for discriminating against this group. Although media has been shedding a good light on this group, there is still a lot more understanding and less discriminating to be done when it comes to the trans community and LGBTQ+ community.

I believe that this was meant to lead us to this address and talk about the racism behind this whole shooting of Breonna Taylor. This specifically has to do with the injustices against the black community by the justice system. This was one of the many cases where an unarmed black person was wrongfully killed at the police's hands; which shows a repeating use of racial biases and racism in the justice system. To answer the other question in this instance the area may impact how police use their biases, as poverty and class have a lot to do with the negative biases around minorities and people of color. As there are more people of color in poverty and at risk, due to privilege's in society only really given to people not of color
 4. Who benefits from this and how?
Those who have privilege's such as upper class white people benefit from racism. An example to show this would be with how much people of color are discriminated against in the justice system, even though white people may be committing the same crimes they are less likely to be caught or be suspected of the crimes they commit.
11. What is the historical context here?
The historical context of racism starts with slavery, and it being a part of the "norm" in our society up until today; specifically laws and mindsets still being rooted in racism. As there are still many injustices and acts of discrimination being done to people of color, especially in the justice system, as there are more people of color in our jails and more people arrested or even just pulled over by police because of their skin color.]]> 2022-04-05 07:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2130160533 w1802523 https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2130164114 During the period of time December 2007 – June 2009, the Great Recession took place. This was the longest recession in our history since Word War II. This effected the prices of homes greatly for example, and had places go out of business. Because of the big changes in interest rates during this time, household cost rose. I believe this can connect to the social problem of poverty, but also about wealth inequality. As this time can show how badly lower and working class are affected by changes in interest rates or rising prices in the cost of living. People like CEO's would not be as badly affected as the statistic about them making 1,260 times what a minimum wage worker makes. They would be less likely to  be affected when it comes to their cost of living. In the recession people lost their jobs, homes and savings and were sent into poverty; which happens often when cost of living increases still today.
3. What claims are made about this and how strong is the evidence?
Claims about the wealth inequality's such as those in higher statuses at work, who are paid more than minimum workers are backed up from statistics showing minimum wages do not support upper or lower class people. As many jobs do not provide adequate benefits along with adequate pay, but people with higher paying positions can earn up to 1,260 times minimum wage workers as I mentioned earlier showing they have no problem in keeping up with the cost of living.
6. Who has power and how do you know?
When it comes to the topic of poverty and money, those who are upper class are in power. As our society runs on money and those who have more of it have a better state of living and more access to the necessities of living, such as housing, food, and insurance.

These dates lead to the topic of women's right to vote, because on June 8 1919 this amendment was passed, and on August 18 1920 the amendment was ratified. Beginning in the 1800's women began to petition to have the right to vote, but took decades to actually achieve the right to vote as shown with these dates. This relates to the social problem of gender inequality, and shows where the ideologies of gender inequality between men and women comes from, and why today we still see this practiced in our government. As this social problem can also relate to the wage gap between men and women, showing to also be a part of the social problem of wealth inequality/equal pay. Women still today get underpaid, as the statistic from 2020 shows women had to work an extra 42 days to earn what men earned.
2. Who is:  included in, excluded from, impacted by, connected to the answer to this quest IEIC
In this topic of wealth inequality men are excluded from the negative impact of being underpaid, but women of color or people from the LGBTQ+ community who identify as women are included in the wage gap that is between men and women; women of color have to deal with discrimination against their skin color on top of not being paid the same as men; and are mistreated in more than one way.
8. What is missing from this that is important to note? 
I think what is missing from this topic is how structurally built the wage gap is, and how in society still is built on this structure which can be shown in how today there is less representation of women in power, and why they are still underpaid as well.]]> 2022-04-05 07:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2130166405 w1802523 https://padlet.com/w1802523/c9ms4mvsp64y59ky/wish/2130169196 The first four women in the U.S. Supreme Court Justice System are, Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. I believe this topic in the scavenger hunt is leading to the topic of our political economy and the gender inequality it holds. The fact that our government only has four women to represent in our court system compared to how many men have been represented shows the men are in position of power when it comes to our political economy. O'Connor was the first woman to be elected onto the supreme court justice system in 1982. Sotomayor became the first Hispanic women on the supreme court in 2009. This goes to show just how little representation women have in our supreme court justice system, as they only make up 3.5% of the total served. It not only relates to inequality in representation of women, but also those of color as not until 2009 was their a women of Hispanic decent that was elected onto our supreme court justice system. It goes to show there is still inequality between men and women when it comes to power specifically as the majority are still white men in power and little women and people of color in power.
5. Who doesn't benefit from this and how?
Men defiantly benefit from the gender inequality that takes place in our supreme court justice system as they use their biases to make huge decisions when it comes to our society; specifically white men as people of color or not represented well in this area as well.
7. How does the meaning of this change depending on who is using or observing it?
The meaning of gender inequality changes when it comes to women and men as there is still a lot of debate that equality between the two has been established and men use ideologies that are traditional stating that women are not meant to be in power, and that women are simply not as "strong" as men and that is why they are not in the same positions as them or are not paid as much as they are not "qualified" like men are.

I believe that this website wants to touch on the racial inequalities that happen in our society today. And that negative racial biases are what drive segregation to happen. It happens between both sides, as each race feels uncomfortable with being with the other as each have racial biases society pushes. Especially against people of color, segregation goes hand in hand with racism. Segregation happens because of the racism that still exists in our society today, especially with how media has portrayed people of color and criminalizing them, so that white people specifically treat them according to the false criminalization of people of color; and why each race segregates from one another because of how they are treated, or because of their negative biases they believe. The social issue of racial inequality goes hand in hand with the topic of media and how our society has portrayed people of color is such a bad light, and why many people still believe the criminalization's and bad stigmas about people of color.
10. How is this represented in media?
In the past few years outlets like Fox news have shown people of color to be the majority of people committing crimes, and showing them to be the majority that makes up our jails systems. But what their fail to show is how they got there and the many exonerations and false arrests that happen, as well as they avoid to show white people commit the same crimes and most of the time even more than people of color.
6. Who has power and how do you know?
The majority of people represented in media as well as those in power are usually people who are not of color and are white. It can be proven through the representation of things like the supreme court, and showing only a small amount of people of color as well as women who have historically been elected.
