Culture representations on the other hand validate the unjust rules and worsen the criminalization of minority people.]]> 2022-02-16 00:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049757442 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049757768 Social structures shape the cultural representations, therefore they can warp an image that inaccurately portrays minorities as a stereotype. Often times, these stereotypes are accepted into society despite falsely representing individuals poorly, and lead to the disproportionate criminalization of minority groups. ]]> 2022-02-16 00:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049757768 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049758599 Social structures are put in place to enforce the ideas of cultural representation which actually perpetuated them in the first place. Representations of specific minority groups are created through propaganda which allows for policies to be made that specifically target them and their neighborhoods. When a group is given the stereotype of being dangerous and more likely to indulge in criminal behavior, politicians use this to justify their reasoning for certain criminal policies to continue to target those minorities through a system. ]]> 2022-02-16 00:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049758599 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049758627 the criminalization of minority people occurs due to the constant state of pressure that they face with the existing hegemonic power structure. revolutions favor those who represent paths of least resistance to the social norm, making it difficult for minority voices to be heard. without the acknowledgment of their issues, the social structures set in place cannot be changed to help minority people.]]> 2022-02-16 00:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049758627 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049759229 I think that the negative stereotypes defined onto minority people allow for masses, and even the structure in power, to mistreat, criminalize, and unjustly incarcerate those minority people.]]> 2022-02-16 00:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049759229 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049759753 social structures and cultural representations result in inaccurate stereotypes of different racial groups such as the Latinx community being "illegal" and African Americans being "criminal". It results in the unjust criminalization of minority people.

The nature of society and Social structures places the responsibility on the individual, rather than looking at the larger systems that set them up that way.

For example, the stereotyping of black men as overtly aggressive and sexual has been a part of why they have faced an increased incarceration rate when compared to other demographics.]]> 2022-02-16 00:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049760074 https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049765802 By having systemic problems such as hegemonic social structures and cultural representations, it forces people to be born in a society that does not have enough supportive systems. In this way, there is no way for prejudiced stereotypes to be countered, and criminalization against minority people continue. It thus becomes a positive feedback loop. ]]> 2022-02-16 00:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jbanez/gm17ix8k0qjj27ej/wish/2049765802
