It’s quite fascinating how people are being treated in societies according to their race or color of skin. It’s rather unfair that we subject individuals to such unscrupulous division that breeds contempt among others, it’s relatively unhealthy in my opinion to even associate ones self with people based on preferences align based on skin color or race. Some countries in the world have been located as places of high abuse of colored people and the United States isn’t any different. It will take a lot to understand that society has given us the stratifications that exist sometimes directly or indirectly such as neighborhoods have been classified as for strictly blacks, Latinos, Mexicans, Chinese and others classified strictly for whites. This division has ate its way into every aspect of our societies where it have caused more harm and damage because to an extent where we would have to start treating one another according to our skin color and at large restrictions come about naturally in such scenarios. Certain social amenities like hospitals that should even provide health care for all would even be limited to some particular skin color and others rejected although they may all even be legal citizens, certain sides of stadiums have been allocated to only blacks and other sides to only whites even though they may all be on the same team. This then draws my attention to the distaste and dissatisfaction I get when I have to live my life freely as a Black person, previously history recollects the abuse Black people have been subjected to which led to a global concern that initiated the “black lives matter” ideology which transcends way over the stretch of America to every aspect of the world. This are some common things that would be raised should we still treating people in regards to differences in their skin color. It is natural that white people in the States happen to enjoy their rights and privileges without any harassment than black people, blacks have been tagged as drug lords and addicts and should be treated unfairly while the whites are to be respected, blacks are made to accept a nature that tarnishes their image while the whites are praised and this are some of the reasons I strongly believe we should come together and mitigate such occurrences from societies for we need each other and regardless we are one people who need one another to survive in the world.
In oppression, It’s also relatively strange how we treat people based on gender or sex. To me, it’s unhealthy and quite not necessary to socially construct the roles of people based on the earlier aligned social constructs. This could lead to an abuse of the fundamental human rights of individuals or curtail certain privileges that one could enjoy which is literally unfair and one shouldn’t be treated that way. Most at times societies enjoy to place priority on certain things to justify why one is being given such a role to play and the other vice versa, on some series of interest hard-work or manual work which requires a lot of energy and muscle is believed to a mans job and feminine take care of less tedious work like house chores among others. It’s also believed that men have higher IQs or brain capabilities and as such should be leaders of societies among others while women should live in their shadows. To me, although it could make a lot of sense that stratification isn’t needed, it’s bogus and shouldn’t be tolerated, it’s heartbreaking to limit people’s ability to do certain things simply because they belong to a particular group of gender or sex. It would only be thoughtful of people if opportunities are rather given to people to showcase their capabilities than to judge them from the onset, it would be better to accept that others could fail and others could succeed despite their gender or sex and as such everyone deserves the same role and opportunity to avoid any form of oppression.
