Document Summary
One"s understanding of the world is structured by one"s position within intersecting systems of privilege and subordination (messner, 2007) The way you experience the world and understand the world depends on where you are from, race, gender, sexual orientation. White people have privilege over others for example. If you are white, male, highly educated these positions affect how you live your life and understand your life) Walking home alone at night: bodily experience determined by your gender (male will be more comfortable than female) Education and social class will determine understanding of the world/position in the world. Young black male: car doors lock, followed around convenience store. Depending on colour of your skin, different life experience. If at the lower end of subordination, your opportunities in life tend to be very limited (have no chance in life) Poor kids destined to reproduce their parents" poor lives. Slim vs. visibly obese: stereotypes associated with obesity (lower income, poorer health)
