Assignment 1: Discussion Racism, Sexism and Social Change During this module, we saw how powerful race and gender are in defining our identities. Despite advances towards equality, racism and sexism continue to exist in our society. Thinking about these ideas, describe how race and gender shape a persons life. Which is most powerful in a persons life: race, gender, or class? How do all three intersect in your life? How are your own experiences different (or the same) as your parents experiences? Be sure to support your answer with the text, appropriate outside resources, and your own personal experiences.
