  The Four "I"s of Oppression gave me a better understanding of the various forms that injustice takes in our society. The four l's of oppression are ideological, institutional,interpersonal, and internalized. Each represents a different level at which oppression occurs and affects individuals and communities. Ideological oppression  is about the big ideas that justify and support unfair treatment between groups.For example, the belief that one race is superior to another can lead to racism. These ideas shape how people think about others and justify unfairness . Institutional oppression  happens within organizations like the government, schools, or businesses.It includes laws and policies that don't treat everyone equally.

Interpersonal oppression  occurs between individuals. It happens when someone directly...

The Academic and Social Value of Ethnic Studies

This week's blog video and article taught me a lot about ethnic studies and their advantages to students and society.     The video discusses school systems.

Richard firmly believes that bilingual education shouldn’t be used. He suggests that the people that are suffering during their learning process will benefit them in the long run. I disagree with Rodriguez’s opinion because he is only using his experience as to why he wouldn’t recommend it which is very one-sided. Even though I’m not bilingual I feel that it can help a lot when looking for jobs and it could also increase awareness of other cultures. I believe that bilingual education should be integrated into schools to give all students the same opportunity. He begins by reminding his audience that teaching only one language in school is the path that people should lean toward, implying that he is opposed to students being taught many languages. He feels that teachers should not be req...
