I think the beauty industry- thanks to YouTube, and shows like Drag Race- has become extremely diverse in the past 10 years. It’s still, by majority, a womens market, but there is a lot more advertisements with men and extremely more with women of color in the United States. I can’t say the same forContinue reading “JCB p. 330 Counting Beauty”

Since we are not able to physically go into stores right now due to Covid-19 I looked at the top 3 places online that came to mind: Walmart, Target, and Amazon. One of the first things I noticed is in the search bar when you type in ‘toy’ the suggestions say things like ‘toys forContinue reading “JBC p. 207 Toy Store Observation”

1. What race are you?  I, according to the Census, am white or Caucasian, but; according to my parents and my ancestry.com,I am mostly Irish then Portuguese and lastly European.  2, How do you know? How do you make that decision?  I don’t think you can “make a decision” about what race you are. I’mContinue reading “Race Interview Required Blog”

I am a white woman- (specifically,mainly Irish and some Portuguese)- born in Fullerton, California, (next door to Anaheim), but predominantly raised in the small town of Lodi California. Both my parents are college educated and have their Masters Degrees, my dad in Anthropology and my mom in Education Administration. Growing up, I’ve always been forContinue reading “The Racist Mind by Raphael Ezekiel”

The title of this chapter for me personally, only makes me think of rap music because, for me, I’m a huge fan and lover of KPOP (Korean Pop Music) and in Korean pop music they take references from many different types of music like rap or electronic or Latino music even country music sometimes. Now,Continue reading “(JBC) Chapter 12: Music/Racism and Culture Appropriation”

First thing that struck me about this video is that it was made in 2012 and the narrator mentions that some of his research was from 2009- which I can’t imagine how vast this has changed since then. Wealthy getting even more wealthy and the poor becoming poorer. Also, in classes we talked about theContinue reading “Required entry: Watch Youtube video “Wealth Inequality in the United States””

Mentioned at the start of the chapter is how the poor provide jobs for others (ie: social workers, criminologist, journalist and much more).  When I personally think of poverty and the poor, I think of Diogenes who lived with pretty much nothing and needed nothing and believed in living a self controlled minimalist life. WhichContinue reading “The Uses of Poverty: The Poor Pay All Herbert J Gans”

One thing I wanted to say about this chapter and the elite of the American Upper class, is with the internet and social media now a lot more walks of people and races are starting to get into that upper echelon. I could see for a rich white male or female having those people nowContinue reading “The U.S. Upper Class Stephen Highly”

Reading this chapter was very interesting to me. To start, I’m all for technology and these next decades are going to have amazing advancements in that realm. I myself love technology. I’m a gamer and I own 3 VR sets. I also think for society; what VR is doing and can do for many peopleContinue reading “Wishard, Caught Between the Ages”

The corporate brand that first came to mind to me was, of course, Apple. Which when they first came out, they were the cooler and more minimalist option- compared to other companies at the time. They knew better then the customers what was wanted; which is one of their main ideologies -which can seem negativeContinue reading “JBC p. 79 Corporate Ideologies”
