Reflection 11

I learned alot from this week’s readings and short films. Everyday I realize how cruel the world can be. The unfairness of people’s opinions and judgment that causes oppression on an individual. The film talks about Women and young girls in India not having an education higher than the fifth grade due to the fact that they were on their periods. They have no idea what pads are and they never used one. As a girl I know how they feel because getting your period for the first 2 years is not fun. Especially without useful resources. Moving on to the article about LeConte a black pregnant woman. She was treated poorly by the doctors and nurses. Oppression should not occur in these circumstances. A mother’s health is more important than the color of her skin, or at least it should be. I learned that oppression can come in any shape and forms. Most oppression of today is more based on opinions. The article about Non-binary people made me really sad because they were denied healthcare because of what theychose to be. They could be dying from sickness and they are still not tended to. One of stories told was about a person who was sick to their death, they were throwing up numerous times. They dialed 911 and when they came. They seen that the person was non-binary and instead of helping them, the ems left them there. I was shocked because I think no matter who or what a person is they still deserve to be treated. Oppression will always be apart of society and hopefully one day it can no longer excise
