SOC366H1 Lecture Notes - Human Capital, Social Capital, Essentialism
Document Summary
Ex. unequal salaries in men and women doing the same job: subtle: grey area- can be direct or indirect - visible but not necessarily noticed because we internalize sexist, racist and homophobic things as normal in society. But this may be unintentional but not right of course: covert: indirect discrimination. It is always intentional, hidden and it is hard to document. Another ex. is imposing impossible deadlines on someone in their job that you know they cannot meet so that they look incompetent but its based on one of categories above. Where does it come: analytical questions: 1) existence [why does society from? differentiate based on gender?] Why is there more discrimination in certain organizations?] In order to make a change, we need both of these models to come together. Individuals who act in a discriminatory way on the basis of another"s gender: systemic [institutional] discrimination: comes from the system itself.
