Identities Under Siege: A Case Study

Isolation and segregation from the other prisoners to protect the transgender inmates are often just as harmful as them being placed with the general inmates. These areas with segregated inmates can sometimes pose a higher risk of physical and sexual assault because the more violent offenders who are housed in these sections too (Rodgers, Asquith, Dwyer 2017,

There is need to tolerate the LGBT community; we should change laws if we expect to change attitudes against the community. There are homosexual men who never engage in a sex relationship with other men and the heterosexual men who will engage in it. Also, there are heterosexual couples who do so too. The society fails to discriminate against the heterosexual couples who take part in buggery. It is not possible to live in an organized society with acceptable principles that govern sexual conduct considering the fact that people have different sources of morality (like religion, nationality, cultures, and others).

It was obviously her race that played a part in this tragic event in Hamer’s life. The numerous racial slurs that that Hamer and the other activists were subjected to made it clear that the crime was racially motivated. Her womanhood was stripped of her during this event as well. She was not given the decency of being treated like a lady because of her skin color. If Hamer was a white woman she would not have experienced Winona in the manner that she did, she would not have been subjected to that assault.

According to Chesnutt, lynching is an evil practice not only because it is carried out unlawfully against persons who were often not responsible for any crime, but also because it was used as a violent display to intimidate the African American community and the denial of justice. False accusations often led to lynchings which was a crime committed by white mobs against black men. The criminal would either be burned or hung, as a way of punishment. The act, however, was actually meant as a mode of violent oppression and warning to the black community. The act of lynching is not meant to punish a single person, but to represent the idea of violence and purity to an entire community.

These restrictions are related to content based restrictions. As a result hate speech is lawfully prohibited whereas in United States of America the prohibitations of some speeches related to racism have been found invalid. The restrictions which are related to racial and religious have been upheld in India. Such measures are taken so that communal harmony must be maintained. Nazi demonstrations are prohibited in India on the grounds of public order.

Public Order Crimes: Is Prostitution Criminal and Immoral? Since time can remember, societies have endlessly prohibited and limited behaviors that oppose social norms, customs, and values. Criminologists are concerned with who decides what is and is not considered acceptable behavior, and how we discriminate between the two (book, 311). Public order crimes are “actions that do not conform to society’s general ideas of normal social behavior and moral values.”

I would say like how we have to follow the role as how it is. For instance, everyone on earth are divided to man and woman based on externally observed factors. However, the transgender people contradict that assumption. They feel to be threatened by society because of this difference and vice versa. In my opinion, it is not the transgender who is terrible and it has nothing to do with them that cause society to act impolite.

(Crisis Intervention in Criminal Justice and Social Service, Hendricks & Hendricks, P.295). A study was also done that found that age, race and marital status of the victim can play large role in reporting the

“Red Flag” emerged from her conversation with four other women about menstruation and how it is a taboo issue that was never discussed in art or literature. Menstruation is still is a taboo subject, an ignored mark of “otherness” suggesting the inadequacy in women. It is a natural bodily substance and bodily process women go through, so why could it not be discussed with admiration in art? The fetishization of women is acceptable in our society but this image a natural, everyday act is considered obscene and offensive.

So, it may be both reasons as to why the woman ran away. Together as a society fears and stereotypes are created by those who feel attacked and terrorized by multiple people try to find a common denominator between all the people who hurt them, then a certain stereotype or fear is created to let everyone know that since three black men raped a girl

The title in chapter 6 “Identity Threat and the Efforting Life” of Whistling Vivaldi written by Claude Steele, really stands out as one of the main points of the chapter. Steele realizes that study habits can positively and negatively affect the stereotypes on people. He conducted an extensive anthropological study of his students’ work habits. Steele found that Asian students studied in groups, which allowed them to focus more on the concepts. White students studied more independently, but relied on others for help outside of class.

Adhering to all of the conceptual stances does not mean that race, class, and gender oppression are interchangeable. For example, whereas race, class, and gender oppression operate on the social structural level of institutions, gender oppression seems better able to annex the basic power of the erotic and intrude in personal relationships via family dynamics and within individual consciousness. This may be because racial oppression has fostered historically concrete communities among African-Americans and other racial/ethnic groups. These communities have stimulated cultures of resistance. While these communities segregate Blacks from whites, they simultaneously provide counter-institutional buffers that subordinate groups such as African-Americans
