Irish Discrimination.

This is a musical picture video i found on Irish discrimination in the view point of an Irish man. In this video he speaks of how they are just like any other immigrants except for the fact that for some reason they were not accepted and we not able to apply for many jobs and live a happy life where they felt accepted by society.

Whiteness

                        The color of one’s skin is sadly an indicator of their status and power within the world, or at least this is what I have always been taught within my school systems and in society. Although, in the last few years I have realized that there is in fact an exception to every rule. It is not always true that the color of your skin represents where you stand in this world, it is actually a combination of the color of your skin and how you live/how society sees you and interrupts yours actions and way of life. I have seen power in a new view since opening my eyes a little wider since learning about the Irish and about a term that McIntosh likes to call whiteness. I have also used this new knowledge and reflected it on my own life and how I myself am impacted by whiteness.

This should be everyone's outlook on love, so amazing!

Real panopticon

Panopticism

Imagine a world in which you were constantly being watched, not just when people are around but every moment of your life. Would things change? Would you act the same as if you were not being watched? I did not think so, when you are being watched or even get that feeling of being watched you no longer do things the same because you know that you are being judged and observed and make a conscious effort to appear in your own ideal way. This world that you are imagining right now does exist in many different concepts one being facebook. The whole idea of acting differently while knowing one is being watched was put into place with Faucoult’s panopticon prison lay out. Faucoult realized that with people knowing that they are being watched they would self-discipline themselves.

Ideologies

            Doctors, military, gangs, and servers, at first glance it will look at though these different groups of people have next to nothing in common and that is true. Except for the fact that each of these groups have their own ideologies, which means that these groups all have their own language, way of living, ways of thinking, and concepts in order to server their purpose in society. This is at least my take on what ideology is and the more I think about it the easier it is for me to think of how many ideologies come to mind, they are all around us. They shape our world, if we did not have ideologies we would all be too much alike and this cannot be the case for our world.
