Critical Analysis: Diversity, Oppression, and Social Justice Practice:

1.identify each of your social identities related to the course topics:

race, class, nationality, religion, ability, age, and gender.

I am a African American female, 23 years old, lower middle class, American, Christian

2.Please note: identify your sexual orientation and gender identity at your discretion.

Straight female

3.Indicate whether each identity is a dominant or oppressed social identity group. You can arrange the listing of each in a table or infographic

4.Through critical analysis, identify your personal biases, prejudices, and stereotypical attitudes and behaviors towards minoritized groups and members of dominant groups. Analyze at minimum 2 for each minoritized/oppressed and privileged/dominant groups; 1 should be an analysis of an attitude and 1 of a behavior. During your analysis, identify the origin of these beliefs/attitude and behaviors, and make sure to make a connection between your social identities and the role it plays in these attitudes and behaviors.

I have no issues with any personal biases, prejudices or stereotypical towards minoritized groups and members of dominant groups. I feel as if everyone should be treated the same, we are all humans. We all are created by God. Use examples of  for minoritized/oppressed 1. Immigrants and 2 .People in prison For immigrants include that I think the world should become peaceful with all countries and help everyone out but the United states need to focus on the people who live here before helping people who do not live here. I think everything Trump is doing to kick people out of the US is wrong. He is going about it the wrong way. Secondly for people in prison I think not all people are bad and the justice system needs to put more work into helping inmates especially when they get out.  for privileged/dominant groups use 1. Feminism and 2.upper class people I believe that feminism is a good thing especially the movement. I think it has been very helpful since still til this day women have to keep fighting for more rights and respect . In fact I have been the president of a gender women's writing club and I am currently project safety net manager for cards for reproductive freedom. Secondly for upper-class people I think they do not realize what lower and middle class people go through. We do not get the same treatment as upper class people. 

5.Use the Cycle of Socialization model (pg. 28) to assist during this analysis.
