Week 4: Silence is...

-

 This week, I examined the topic of silence, more specifically, it being equally as (if not more) powerful than speking out. 

The main points gathered from the reading and the film Whitewashed: Unmasking the World of Whiteness I got are depicted in this infographic below.


Infographic 1:


1. Beginning

Desire to separate where the people came from, altering last names to get jobs (assimilation to dominant white culture)

Thus conforming to become white (giving up identities for sake of whiteness)

2. Privilege from expectation
Moving through the world fearlessly, not having to think about race, (privilege and access)

- Embedded everywhere: expectations match reality, white - acceptable person

3. Consequence
Racism is changing and mutating

White privilege demonstrated in daily life

SILENCE IS DOMINANT


I created these two infographics in order to showcase the main points I gathered from the reading and videos:

Week 5: Surveillance State Or Way of the Future

-
 This week, I watched the film, Surveillance State or Way of the Future, which was a documentary providing insight into the current trends of the Chinese government's involvement in the everyday life surveillance of its citizens.  I think it was a very interesting analysis of the current situation, its relevance was highlighted in its analysis of the behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic.  I don't really like talking in front of the camera, but I tried my best :)  Here is the link to my vlog: https://youtu.be/5HCJztTi8XM Source:  DW Documentary.
