the exertion of power and interpretation/implementation of the law. There are various examples of how the critical race theory can be seen at work within the criminal justice and corrections system, however, its visibility in “13” by Ava DuVernay and “Civil Brand” by Neema Barnette are perfect instances to which critical race theory is informed within the context of this racial based theory. The purpose of this analysis…

Domestic Violence through the Critical Masculinity Theory and Radical Perspectives Introduction into Domestic Violence: Morgan and Chadwick (2009) state that domestic violence is traditionally defined as a physical form of violence among intimate partners within a domestic household. However, domestic violence is a recipient of stereotypical definitions. Domestic violence is not bound to physical forms of violence. Other forms of domestic violence include; physical abuse towards children and…

According to Elder et.al (2010) there are six stages of critical thinking development, (1) that there are predictable stages through which every person who develops as a critical thinker passes, (2) that passage from one stage to the next is dependent upon a necessary level of commitment on the part of an individual to develop as a critical thinker, is not automatic, and is unlikely to take place subconsciously, (3) that success in instruction is…

The Sociology theory that was new to me is Critical Social Theory. This theory uses societal awareness to social inequalities that hinder individuals from reaching their goals. This theory is being used by nursing researches to address the impact of sociopolitical conditions that affect health care. Moreover, researchers used critical social theory to explore other nursing aspects. Lyon (2011) study discussed the lived experience of minority women with HIV. Critical theory was used along with…

In positions of leadership, there are transparent barriers for people who are not white and male. This is not only prevalent in the professional and political worlds but also in education. The critical race theory was first researched in 1994 to asses inequity in education. (Hiraldo,53) "I believe the aspects of critical race theory can not only be…

Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an interdisciplinary research framework to study the role of race and pervasiveness of racism in American society. CRT is extensively explored in educational research…

educational outcomes apparent between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. One of the major by-products of this tumultuous climate was the resurrection of the theoretical framework introduced by Ladson-Billings (2000), who links the concepts of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Whiteness to education. She describes CRT as being a critique of the modern-day social order, arguing that the ‘social reality’ of minorities construed by the presiding white majority is both misinformed and inherently…

Critical reflection about The Race for Theory I genuinely could connect with everything Christian’s “The Race for Theory” article talked about. Upon taking a political philosophy class at Temple, which is required for political science majors, I realized I was having difficulty understanding and more so connecting with the topics covered in class daily in general. It was lacking something and I didn’t exactly know what that something was. Every reading that was chosen by the professor of course…
