The Stonewall Riots - 1969 - 0 views

  •  
    This site explains many components of the Stonewall Riots. I kept reading that this event occurred the year before, and was a huge motivation for, the Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day. It quotes a part chanted by the girls apart of the riots, speaks on how sexuality and its changes and expansions led to the formation of a subculture, and the beginning of gay rights and activism.

    This site talks of the progression of a fight that lasted almost a century. The struggle for women's rights had its phases, encouragements and lead activists. In a few sections, the suffragists, the influence voting rights being granted to African American men had. and the arrival of the 19th Amendment.

    This website is covering child psychology and children's development related to gender. This page discusses gender roles, stereotypes, and differences. Also mentioned briefly is that there is no evidence of differed gender roles if boys and girls raised by gays and lesbians. Other influences on gender roles, including television and school is discussed. Also mentioned is the fact that most people, especially children are actually to various degrees both masculine and feminine, not completely one or the other.

Can You Name The U.S. Socio-Economic Levels? | Washington Times Communities - 0 views

  •  
    The photo for this week's assignment in combination with our current unit being Class in America, led me to search socio-economic levels to get an idea of the country's financial demographics to clarify my view of the four previous sites I searched. Health care is interdependent with income and income is interdependent with education. I think to some degree one's family influences education, income and healthcare. A household, or family, is placed in a socio-economic section of lower, middle, or upper class. This site explains the realization that there are more accurately 12 socio-economic levels in our society. If any of you read this page, I think you would agree that these classifications of financial lifestyles is mostly, if not completely, true.

Gap in Life Expectancy Widens for the Nation - New York Times - 0 views

  •  
    This site reports the the correlation between the income gap and mortality rates. A chart is available revealing the life expectancy change in the last 20 years of the 20th century, including the difference between the life span of men and women. Cause for the financial separation in the U.S. isn't identified, but some ideas are that "Lower-income people are more likely to not have health insurance..." and "Smoking has declined more rapidly among people with greater education and income". In the appearance of the man in the photo, I definitely make the connection with him and not having poor health care and habits.

How Republicans Are Denying Health Care To Millions Of Poor Black People And Single Mot... - 0 views

  •  
    This site has statistical information concerning the many categories of people in the U.S. that are phased by the refusal by the Republican party to implement the Affordable Care Act throughout the whole country. It gives insight as to why the excluded states are left with citizens unable to receive healthcare from any source. Race, poverty, and location plays a role in how many in the country are harmed by this political decision. People living in stated excluded from the ACA have nowhere to turn for health care when they have employment, such as being a cashier, retail sales clerk, or waitress, that does offer health coverage to employees. This picture, after some time observing, makes me think possibly dental care could be helpful or simply a doctor to detect a malnutrition.

Poverty Facts and Stats - Global Issues - 0 views

  •  
    This page includes graphs and charts of data from 2005. Also, the page is one large list of statistics relating to daily spending, global income, children's health and mortality, problems concerning water availability and cleanliness, and U.S. spending on various goods. Again, looking at the photo, I think this link sheds light on how the many different global, national, individual financial facts are caused by and are the causes of such factors as unsafe and unsanitary living conditions, poor health care, or unsatisfactory education.

What is a slum? - Homeless International - 0 views

  •  
    This site has two subsections in the About Slums section that 1)give information about what slums are and describes three characteristics of the slums and 2)the impacts that the slums have on 11 topics, including women education, political exclusion, and disasters. I simply think this link connects to this week's photo because looking at this person I imagine they would live in very poor living conditions, so "slums" in the term I searched.

      Sorting will be done if there's spare time to show how a person usually does make racial presumptions by complexion and facial features they believe to fit certain ethnic groups.

Who is the Nigger? -James Baldwin (clip) - YouTube - 0 views

    • Jasmine Wade
       
      "Nigger" was created, as was the term "white" discussed by Pamela Perry. The "white" man did racially separate themselves from peoples that were different, primarily and entirely based on the complexion of the skin. The other people of dark complexions did place fear in the Europeans because it is a natural human function to fear what they do not know. The European men were simply too self-righteous and ignorant to recognize the worth of all human beings that exist, nonetheless the equality of all men. 0:49-0:56, 1:09-1:15

      Refer to definition of "Nigger" to give insight to why it was used, to belittle and dehumanize.
