Invisible Privilege

Privilege is invisible because you can’t see it. It is something you have that you can’t control. I think minorities are more likely to be aware of privilege because they are the ones that don’t get it as easily. Andrea was uncomfortable in Jewels home because she was not used to being the minority in the room and she wasn’t used to that kind of poverty. I think if people try not to judge each other and realize that people are doing the best they can then they can overcome these kinds of social differences. I am privileged to have a nice home, job, and car.

Women and the Birth of Sociology

Women are said to be “written out” of sociology’s history because they were once recognized for their work but they are not recognized as much now. They were all well known public figures at their time. Some of them were even more popular then the men of their time. These women had several things in common. They all published several books, studies, and theories. Several of them researched the problems of race and inequality. They also all visited the Hull House which was the working base of most of the Chicago women. It is important to recognize women role in society because we are trying to make a more equal society. Women worked very hard to make this world the way it is and they deserve to be recognized for it. BY MADELINE
