The Domination

Enver M. Casimir’s “Contours of Transnational Contact: Kid Chocolate, Cuba, and the United States in the 1920’s and 1930’s”, Louis Peréz jr., “Approaching Change and Changelessness in the Historiography of Cuba”, and Lars Schoultz’s “Benevolent Domination: The Ideology of U.S. Policy toward Cuba’, all share and discuss a long complicated history of Cuban relations and, images of U.S. perceptions of Cubans and how those images and relationships translate into Cuban identity. Clearly, all three…

The ideas of “feminism” and “being a feminist” have morphed and changed throughout the years. In Talking Back, published in 1989, bell hooks discusses her experience as a black feminist woman. While ideally there should be no negative connotation to this identity, I have been noticing recently that “feminist” has become almost a dirty word among certain people. The other day, I overheard a conversation at lunch about how a large presence of feminists and their opinions had “ruined” a classroom…

Last but not least, why does the domination bring happiness? My answer to the question is that people feel happy about such domination because it is human instinct to the seize the power over themselves. And when such instinct is satisfied, people feel more like themselves, closer to the true self hidden underneath all the social norms and rules.

of Empowerment, black feminists try to establish a voice for black women’s experiences in the world (p. 221).

philosopher who focused on the social contract in which he referred it to be the racial or the domination contract. Charles Mills used the domination contract as an outline of racial inequality and white supremacy. I agree with Mills as he identifies the problem in a society and recognizes that the foundation of modern social organization is built on the European expansion, colonization and other forms of white domination. An example relevant to the racial contract is the after effects of the…

Throughout history, it is clear that men are usually seen to be advantaged by the logic of domination while females tend to be disadvantaged. Whether it be in the workplace, household, or even the bible men have always been inferior to women. Through history, cultural norms and stereotypes gender roles were created and have been present throughout society. Although it is believed that males are more advantaged than females the texts Eve and Adam: Genesis 2-3 Reread by Phyllis Trible and The…

dominant elite as the Bourgeoisie and the workers under their domination as the proletariat. The proletariat constitutes the modern working class that can subsist as long as it sells its labor, and as long as that labor increases capital. They are exploited and robbed of the value of their labor by the Bourgeoisie. Under this system, capital is not a personal but a social power owned by the elite class. This is an account of structural domination where class is the most important factor. The…

led to the creation of socialism, capitalism’s greatest rival. Allan Johnson wrote “Privilege, Power, and Difference” as a way to view and examine systems of privilege through history. In our reading, Johnson discussed the capitalist “matrix of domination.” This matrix or network of interlinking aspects of capitalism and its economic principles created and promoted systems of inequality and privilege. The main of which is the class system followed by sexism and…
