A CRAZY STATISTIC!!!

 "Seven out of ten people in the world today live in countries where inequality has increased over the past three decades" (Lagarde, 2014, n.p.)  This is a crazy statistic!!! Why do you think it has increased in the last three decades? The reading says it's because people's security is being threatened globally.

Privilege vs oppression (or can you have both?)

In the reading Intersectionality,  the author says people can experience privilege and oppression simultaneously. An example of this that came to my mind was being a white woman. She will have more privilege over other races but is still oppressed because she is not a man. What do you guys think about this idea? Can people have both in their lives?

  I really liked this imagery of intersectionality from the reading and it helped me visually understand how it works.
