Each individual has their own different social identity. One’s social identity is constructed based on the different influences around them. The development of social identity is influenced by various factors such as the historical, cultural and religious beliefs of the society, community or family where one is brought up. It is influenced by the behaviours and attitudes of authority figures such as parents, teachers and community leaders around them, it is also influenced by external factors such as the media, one’s peers and the overall exposure one has (Carrim, 2006, p56).

The society we live in determines everything about who we are, from the way we behave and think to the way we interact with others. From the minute we are brought into the world we are grouped into categories such as gender, ethnicity, and class, and society teaches us how to behave according to the group we are either born into or join. Society also teaches us generalizations about other groups and how to interact with them, creating stereotypes. While stereotypes can help us identify similarities within a culture and aid as a foundation for learning about people different than oneself, they can also lead to prejudice and discrimination. A stereotype is “a generalization applied to persons perceived to have attributes common to a particular group” (Beebe 47.)

Social location could be defined in many different ways due to all the aspects that influence it, but mainly it is a person's place in the world based off of things such as race, religion, sexuality, gender, etc. All the factors that influence a person's social location not only tell their standing or place in the world but how they were brought up, who they are looking forward to becoming, and how they will fare in the future. A person's beliefs weigh heavily into social location normally more than most other things later in life, but early on, it's normally the unchangeable things like gender and race. The main things that have contributed to my social location are moving, sexuality, education, and the beliefs I have started to have. Throughout my life I have experienced many different things that have helped me to shape my social location starting with when I moved here at the age of twelve.

These topics lead into the purpose of her valuable role. Her role, used by Kathryn Stockett, presents a lesson which was to conceive the point of view of others before trying to judge another. One must assimilate the circumstance and situation one is in. One can only begin to comprehend another by stepping into their shoes and walking around in it. Furthermore, a community is split into groups due to prejudice and the groups are classified by race, wealth, age and gender.

Throughout the play Macbeth, Shakespeare uses many metaphors and examples about gender and traditional gender roles to show us how the two main characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, change throughout the piece and become different people. At the beginning of the play, both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have many characteristics that are usually associated with the opposite gender. Shakespeare creates these gender roles to show how the characters change many of their behaviors when they are confronted with stress and power. He specifically picks these roles based on how he wants to portray these character’s views and how he wants them to fit to a common gender guideline for that era.

Norms are the means through which values are expressed in behavior. Norms generally are the rules and regulations that groups live by.

This chapter provides a main implication of social class and how the concept of class is defined by different theories of different ages, emphasizing its importance in social division despite that class has been affected by social policy to reduce some inequalities between classes and promote mobility across classes.

In addition, the chapter also suggest that membership of social classes is changing. That is to say, individuals, families or groups may move up and down between classes.

More specifically, by using the two theories together, both the complexities of an individual’s relation with the structural systems of oppression and power can be uncovered, and their personal experience with oppression and power in relation to their unique social interactions and experiences can be understood.

The use of intersectionality is crucial in challenging oppression and inequality, as it tackles it from an institutional level.
