Tomasello and Call (1997) state that it is likely that nonhuman primates and other animals have natural concepts in their everyday lives nonetheless it is difficult to demonstrate in training procedures and observe in their natural habitat. Currently the conclusion of whether or not nonhuman primates can form natural categories is still missing; the linguistic and symbolic barrier may prevent researchers from acquiring further evidence. The studies explored in our paper consistently support the…

The heterosexual language excludes all other forms of expression through the biological…

The Authors aimed to examine in what ways people of different races categorized others in these different situations. They expected that differences sex would affect mate selection in their categorization and that race would have an effect on categorization in self-protection from physical threat. They found support for their hypotheses in that social categorizing is spurred by social motives and situations. They used the scientific method by first conferring previous research…

throughout all my WGSS courses is the meaning and implications of intersectional feminism. Intersectional feminism is the idea that while all women may face oppression, each woman’s oppression is unique as it is constructed by the interplays of social categorizations such as class, race, and culture.
