Emily Medeiros The Fours I's of Oppression






 Emily Medeiros 

This weeks blogs: Reflections 


    Good Evening, welcome back to another blog post! Today, I watched a video on oppression. Luna Malbroux, spoke upon the fours i's of oppression which are "Ideological, interpersonal, institutional, and internalized." 

    Before watching this I was not exposed to the concept. This concept in the world is shaped based on gender and race. The world lacks an immense amount of justice. Sometimes it is all by accident.The dominant group such as "white, straight and a male gender," has more biased views on the world just because of their background and exposure. Also by accident we built these biases into schools and organizations by maybe not giving equal funding or equal pay. this could also be targeted to any social group, race, religion, and assets. 

    A personal experience I cannot say I have experienced any sort of violence or hatred as many others but I have had times where I have faced sexism with cars and when playing an instrument. Stupid comments  made towards me made have a moment of feeling any less. I agree it is so important to not only advocate but to educate the younger generations about the four I's of oppression and putting a stop to it.

I really like your insights on the four I's of oppression! It's so important to recognize how much biases can affect our society and individual experiences. I also don't have a big personal experience, but your point on facing sexism shows the everyday challenges many people face, and I also agree we must advocate for change and educate future generations. Good job!

Blog #7 Re-evaluating our classrooms.

Image
 Good Morning and welcome back to my blog!      Today I read the preface and chapters 1 &2 of "Literacy with an Attitude."  This goes in depth with a new way of exploring our core classes such as: math, literature, etc. This book written by Patrick J.Finn, examines how we need engagement in our classroom to help the students fully learn and I whole-heartedly agree with this concept. The concept of not just throwing a text book with questions at the end but to come up with new and fun ways of learning. Although these three chapters I read were very influential I wanted to highlight two quotes I found interesting/ worthy of mentioning as well as adding my thoughts. Quote #1 "Do it this way or its wrong" (page.20)      Thoughts: In math there is a right and wrong answer, but never the wrong way of getting there I believe.  In a classroom not everyone learns the same way and I think it's interesting to see how this newer generation of teacher...

The Academic and Social Value of Ethnic Studies

 Emily Medeiros Blog: reflection/ thoughts           Good evening everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today, we are going to be talking about Ethnic studies and how valuable they are to today's education.       The research written by Christine E.Sleeter, talks about a previous graduate student who was turned away to further his education because his mind thought he was not as good as the rest of the students. With this doubt in mind he continued to explore other career options and did a tour in the military until he was talking to one of his friends who goes to a community college and introduced him to Chicano studies.          When the student realizes that he can further his education to become a teacher. He stresses how important it is to provide students with classes with exposure to other cultures besides the "American way." In a way, American schools have been blindly racist with not educating on al...
