Could that tension produce new knowledge? How does one define what it means to be human or to have humanity? Filed under Uncategorized. Skip to content. Home Participants Bibliography Working Papers. She asserts that new modes of reality can emerge at the scene of embodiment: These practices of instituting new modes of reality take place in part through the scene of embodiment, where the body is not understood as a static and accomplished fact, but as an aging process, a mode of becoming that, in becoming otherwise, exceeds the norm, reworks the norm, and makes us see how realities to which we thought we were confined are not written in stone.
Comments Off Filed under Uncategorized. Search for:. Homosexuals of the United Sates are regular people just like heterosexuals. The question that I have for society is that if all of the people in our nation are looked at as equal, then why are homosexuals treated differently? Miller, Richard E. David Bartholomae and Anthony Petrosky. Using the work and writing of Lord, Ingraham and Concannon this paper will explore the relationship between citizenship, sexual identity and social exclusion.
The concept of living a However, due to conservative traditional and religious beliefs, the integration of homosexuals in society is often met with resistance. Therefore it creates a situation where people are treated less than favourably just because they do not fit the social norm or they do not oblige CONFORM???
At the far end of discrimination, stands oppression. Although many seem to think that the terms are simil Therefore, they misjudge and undervalue people who differ from them. Even though Others may believe that one should not learn about LGBTQ studies because it does not apply to them, If more people were educated on LGBTQ studies, it would help increase their understanding of sexuality because it helps people understand the historical changes that LGBT members have been through, It promotes equality, and It gives people a different perspective on sexuality than the one they identify with.
And as a man or female it is believed that one must act and behave completely heterosexual and stay in line with these socialized gender stereotypes. Heterosexuality and homosexuality depend on sex and gender as concepts.
Gender typing and social stigmas around sexuality are two things that are very prevalent in society today. Sociologists have argued that people learn gender roles and gender stereotypes through socialization. Males and females suffer the unnecessary consequences of their choosing to reveal their sexuality.
Ascension from juvenility to adulthood is obstacle-ridden for these individuals. It affects social order, invades personal privacy and rights, and leads to criminal behaviour. Nevertheless modern society has not completely accepted the idea of homosexuality because in areas such as legal forms, the people with nonconventional sexual orientation are not shown.
This demonstrates the inferiority of homosexuality and for which the government is responsible for such actions. The idea that, if you are not the one doing the oppression then you are not responsible to act, is a very outdated idea. Bystanders are just as guilty for the negative acts that occur.
Throughout her piece, Butler has cleverly chosen to refrain from using many examples; and the examples she does use are made vague and simple. Such categorization may be considered foolish from a philosophical and biological standpoint; it is agreed that a brain, producing the thoughts of the mind, has neither nationality nor culture.
The negative aspect of an individual born into the Jewish society mentioned previously is the absence of rights to independent thinking and spiritual belief, as well as isolation that is the result of any form of autonomous idealism. To the appreciation of many, no form of violence is known to be used in such a circumstance, much different than the happenings in the Middle East.
One must approach such situations with exceptionally liberal and unbiased thinking, as the human mind is among the most complex and inexplicable entities known to man and will most definitely remain just that for many years to come. The second philosopher introduced to the paper is Nietzsche. I appreciate the order in which Butler has discussed the philosophers, as the contrast between the ideas of Adorno and Nietzsche is emphasized. He explains that one only begins to assess himself when attempting to explain the actions he has committed and presently regrets.
If one regretted an action, it implies that it is not in his nature to act in such a manner, and thus he is to explain himself by assessing who he really is and allowing others to understand that which he has concluded.
Although Butler agrees with this, she only seems to agree that this may be a case in which one may choose to practice accountability, but she disagrees that it is the only case.
It is the origin of these feelings, regardless of what has happened, which Butler is more eager to explore. The final philosopher we are introduced to is Foucault. He believes that your surroundings help to shape who you are, as well as help you determine who you are.
The quote by Adorno introduced at the beginning of the piece is certainly an interesting one and adds to the intrigue of the writing. Seeing the specific ideas that she chose to emphasize and agree upon has also increased my interest in her ideas, as she gives the reader a sense of importance through expressing concern for an individual in any form of society. I would to mention the fact that Judith Butler is homo-sexual, as this is another matter our world today is either going to reject or accept in the near future.
This being the case, Judith may not be accepted in many societies today. May it be between adults, teenagers, or children, the discrimination is evident.
