    Critical Race and Conflict Theory Critical race theory focuses on the fact that racism is a normal part of American society rather than an anomaly (Marx, 2008). It is something so entrenched in society and the institutions that uphold it, that it seems normal to people in the American culture (Harrell & Pezeshkian, 2008).

    Response on Dave Barry’s “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out” Glancing around my bedroom, I observe clean floors and homework assignments sprawled out on the table as my jumbled written thoughts are on the brink of being thrown away. My collection of books is lined up neatly on a shelf along with the stuffed animals my grown-up self does not play with anymore. I can hear down the stairs and I listen to the television playing the Cleveland Brown’s football game and the microwave signaling the finished result of the leftover brisket that was in the refrigerator. In Dave Barry’s essay, “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out,” he explains that the majority of women fasten their focus on the unimportant aspects of life such as cleaning; yet through the…

    Throughout civilization, there have been multiple changes in family dynamics and structure. In Changing Families: What Does the Economy Have to do With it? the one catalyst in familial change that I’ve never thought of is how technology in the home has lead to a shift in families over the last 65 years. After hearing Mr. Guner describe the change, it does make total sense. Refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, microwaves, washer/dryer and stoves make the functions of caring for a household not only take a fraction of the time, but also lend themselves to any gender.…

    You and I both have a mother and father. However, privileged individuals have both parents living under the same roof in “love”. If you are one of these privileged individuals we can make judgement on who does the most laundry, who handles the finances, who cooks, who cleans, and the list is endless. Some of us might say “mom” and others “dad” but regardless of who does what, in a “traditional” household (Olson November 17th, 2016), there’s always one parent who does the majority of the house and child-rearing work. It becomes a “second shift” for that parent when they come home from work.…
