It's uncommon to see women in leadership positions. There is yet to be a female president in office. Women that are in politics have to answer to a different set of standards. I chose this picture of Senator Karen Hill who resigned recently because of the inequal treatment she was given for her mistakes versus the way a male senator would have been treated.]]> 2019-10-25 01:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402371698 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402940236 Economic status quo means that the economy is not progressing or improving. The upper class remains wealthy, while the lower/middle class struggle to make ends meet and remain poor. I chose this image of an airline flight because of the two classes that are available to fly in-the economy class and first class. Flying first class for passengers is separated by a wall for those who can afford to pay more money and sit in luxury seats while being served better food & drinks versus sitting in economy which is more affordable and you receive standard service rather than upgraded service due to monetary & class differences. Status quo is where one is not able to change their economic position and learn to accept what they aren't able to change.]]> 2019-10-26 23:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402940236 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402940445 Poverty is when one is not able to live without some kind of financial assistance. For whatever reasons, they don't have a sufficient income that would help them to acquire living in a comfortable way of life. Someone living in poverty would be considered extremely poor. The image is of a homeless person walking in my town. This connects to poverty because being homeless is considered living in poverty and is not a comfortable way of life. ]]> 2019-10-26 23:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402940445 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402942533 There are different types of privilege. White or race privilege, economic privilege, and gender privilege. Privilege is having an advantage over someone or something based on one of those types. I chose this picture because this represents economic privilege. This is my uncle who was able to come from a family that could afford to give him a higher education, take out loans for medical school, and he was able to be successful economically as a result.]]> 2019-10-26 23:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402942533 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402942867 Glass ceiling is a figure of speech. It is often used to represent some type of minority that is able to break through an invisible barrier. Most commonly, women are used as examples of breaking through the glass ceiling when it comes to employment, or other male dominated types of professions. First thing I thought of when breaking through a glass ceiling was Hillary Clinton. She was the first secretary of state and woman to be nominated as the first woman candidate for presidency. ]]> 2019-10-26 23:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402942867 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943046 Peer Pressure is a feeling of being forced to do something you may not want to do from one of your peers. This can happen in different social settings. Some settings can be at school, at parties, initiations, or gangs. I chose this picture because this seems like a typical example of peer pressure where people end up drinking or changing their behavior to conform to be like everyone else. ]]> 2019-10-26 23:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943046 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943174 Feminism is a way that women look to empower themselves by sharing views to enforce equal rights. The main goal is to establish a way so that women are considered equals to men in work, politics, and other social situations. Feminism is a way to level the playing field between men and women. This image represents women of different color standing up for women's equal rights. ]]> 2019-10-26 23:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943174 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943666 The definition of a stereotype is an assumption or a negative perception of a particular person or group. It can be as extreme as being prejudice or discriminating. One example of a stereotype is blondes are dumb. Another stereotype is the color blue is representative of boys, and pink is representative of girls. I chose this picture because it's a perfect example of how strong our society stereotypes genders. If you are female, you are automatically expected to be connected to the color pink and be girly. If you are male, you are automatically connected to the color blue and expected to act tough and play with toy trucks. ]]> 2019-10-26 23:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402943666 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402945602 Welfare is financial assistance from the government to those living in poverty. The purpose of welfare is to provide resources for those in need of food or shelter. Welfare can also benefit those who are disabled or retired, and don't have an income that will sustain basic necessities. ]]> 2019-10-27 00:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402945602 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946054 Culture shock is experiencing another culture that is not familiar to your own. It is a feeling that arises from a lack of familiarity to a different type of language, society, food, music, or values. It can be most likely expected when visiting a foreign country. I chose this picture because when I was touring Sac State, the reality . of possibly attending this college felt like a culture shock to me. I grew up in a really small town with not a lot of diversity. The students and the campus were made up all kinds of different kids from different races and cultures which made me feel really out of place. ]]> 2019-10-27 00:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946054 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946386 Minimum Wage is an employment wage determined by the state. Some states pay more for minimum wage than others. It is considered the lowest amount an employer can pay an employee. The image is of a drive-thru coffee shop where I currently work and connects to the concept because it's a minimum wage paying job. ]]> 2019-10-27 00:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946386 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946608 Rebellion is an act of going against a law or rule. It can also be an act of deviance going against social norms. Rebellion can be a resistance against authority or government. I chose this picture only because this car is being used as a rolling advertisement of how this person is passionate about their beliefs. Not that what they believe is rebellious just their choice of expressing their views could be.]]> 2019-10-27 00:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946608 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946933 Inequality is a lack of equality. Inequality can be characterized by unequal distribution of income, social status, gender, class, and race. I chose this picture because it represents a Pride march which millions all over the world in support of those who can express their views and focus on inequalities faced by the LGBTQ community.]]> 2019-10-27 00:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402946933 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402947359 A value is a measure of something you believe in or feel strongly about. Cultures have values that are important to them. Examples of some values are respect, justice, responsibility, and honesty. My image is of the US Flag. I chose it because our country allows individuals to express their many differing points of views and values in their own way.]]> 2019-10-27 00:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/402947359 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403036901 Innovations can be looked at as a way of tweaking and improving aspects of society. Technology and commerce is a common vehicle used to bring about new ideas and innovation that advance our society. I chose this image because it is a picture of SLC, UT where it is beginning to be a booming area for tech companies like Adobe, Cisco and Qualtrics, etc.]]> 2019-10-27 16:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403036901 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403042123 Authority can be a person or group that maintains and monitors a set of rules, laws, or orders. People that obtain power or authority can end up abusing their power, resulting in other people doing things against their will. There are also authority figures that can be considered heroes. Police and firefighters are considered authority figures. I chose this picture as an example of firefighters who at times risk their lives to assist and protect citizens in a community.]]> 2019-10-27 17:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403042123 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403048883 The Working Poor are individuals who have jobs that pay below a living wage. People who are grouped into "The Working Poor" have incomes that fall below the poverty level. From receiving minimum wage pay, it's very difficult to survive on $12/hr. I have to find other ways to make money and that's by simply collecting loose change that will add up over time to make ends meet. ]]> 2019-10-27 17:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403048883 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403051042 A dysfunction is the negative result or consequence from poor actions and decisions. For example, leaders in country can make choices that can affect our society or our nation as a whole. The consequences from these decisions can be positive or negative. The image is of an art piece I saw at the Crocker Art Museum that depicts different views on society and political dysfunctions.]]> 2019-10-27 18:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403051042 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403052352 Sex refers to biological differences between men and women. Gender refers to social differences between men and women. Sex is categorized as male and female. Gender is categorized as masculine and feminine. Society tells us that there are 2 genders, man and woman. Gender isn't either, it is a spectrum which is why I chose this picture. ]]> 2019-10-27 18:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403052352 christygalli https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403662842 Nature is your genes. The physical and personality traits are determined by your genes and stay the same regardless of where you are born or raised. Nature is more biological and family factor based. I chose this picture of a DNA strand because our genes are made up of DNA, and genes determine our nature. ]]> 2019-10-29 01:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/christygalli/upp1bc4mcs5c/wish/403662842
