A Social View of Race, Class and Gender
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing our failure to adequately define the influences of these three aspects of society, focusing on the issue of defining poverty in the context of that faced by single mothers. It has been said that in order to attack a problem, it is first necessary to define that problem. This appears to be a stumbling block in overcoming the negative effects of race, class and gender in society. Despite the fact that the accepted “formula” has not been made workable, observers continue to try to make it fit. One author lists a variety of budget categories for a low-income family, concluding that there is not enough left for food and housing. The paper argues that those living financially marginal lifestyles are better qualified to define budget categories and priorities, and concludes that we often take the same skewed approach to discussing race and gender as well.
