Community College of Philadelphia Race Gender & Class in America Discussion Paper
I’m trying to study for my Sociology course and I need some help to understand this question.
As we start to look at Race, Gender and Class in America; I would like you to stop and think about what these terms mean to you and how who you are plays into these terms.
- Define what the following terms mean in your own words (do not copy from the book).
- Race
- Class
- Gender
- Sexuality
- Next I would like you to watch the next video and then explain what you feel privilege means.
- Next watch the following video about intersectionality.

Intersectionality are different parts and experiences that make us who we are.
- For example: I am a single, heterosexual Caucasian woman who is raising a teenage interracial male. Not only am I a mother, but an adjunct professor and advisor in higher education.
- I also have Attention Deficit Disorder, Anxiety and depression.]
- I grew up in Connecticut, but moved to Mississippi to attend Mississippi State University in my late teen/early twenties.
- Al of these descriptions are just a part of who I am but do not define me as well.
- Lastly, explain the various parts of you that intersection and make you who you are
