RACE CULTURE AND ETHNICITY

 

Our feminism is rooted in intersectionality. We recognize that women are not a monolith and experience multiple, overlapping sources of oppression. The struggle for women’s rights is deeply impacted by and connected to the struggles for racial justice, queer justice,  immigration justice, climate justice, and so many more. Gender Justice is indispensable for  development, poverty reduction, and is crucial to  achieving human progress

Gender Justice

For us, the term “gender justice” best signifies our intersectional approach that centers on the diverse needs, experiences, and leadership of people most impacted by discrimination and oppression. This approach helps achieve both equity (equal distribution of resources, access, and opportunities) and equality (equal outcomes for all). Within the context of population and development programs, gender equality is critical because it will enable women and men to make decisions that impact more positively on their own sexual and reproductive health as well as that of their spouses and families.

Conceptualizing gender 

Conceptualization Of Gender, Gender Roles and Stereotypes, Interaction Between Gender And Power, Interaction Between Gender And Other Social Categories. Gender is a dichotomous social category that prescribes behaviors, attitudes, feelings, and other characteristics as being appropriate for a male or a female.


Sexism



Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one's sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it primarily affects women and girls. It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another.  All manifestations of sexism are harmful and harm society. Women are most severely affected, but sexism also affects people of other marginalized genders. Less directly, it also harms men.

Hostile sexism

This refers to beliefs and behaviors that are openly hostile toward a group of people based on their sex or gender. Misogyny, or the hatred of women, is an example of hostile sexism. People who hold views that are hostile and sexist may view women as manipulative, deceitful, capable of using seduction to control men, needing to be kept in their place.

 These views may also apply to anyone with feminine traits and anyone who expresses their gender in a way that is associated with femininity. Hostile sexism is dangerous. According to 2019 research, it is a risk factor for sexual harassment and gender-based violence.

Benevolent sexism

Benevolent sexism includes views and behaviors that frame women as innocent, pure, caring and nurturing, fragile and in need of protection, beautiful. 

A 2020 study involving participants in the United States and the United Kingdom found that people who believed in humanity’s dominance over nature and saw women as more closely connected with nature than men were more likely to exhibit benevolent sexism. In comparison to hostile sexism, benevolent sexism can be less obvious. It is a more socially accepted form and is much more likely to be endorsed by men and women.

Neo sexism

Gender awareness implies the recognition of discrimination against women. Contemporary studies have shown that nowadays some people deny that gender inequality exists. This affirmation is based on covert sexist beliefs, which can go unnoticed, disappearing into the cultural norms. Those who consider themselves supporters of women's rights may maintain non-traditional gender roles and exhibit subtle sexist beliefs. Therefore, neo-sexism is a useful concept in that it permits denial of the existence of discrimination and also upholds the belief that inequality is no longer a problem

Sexism in Relationships

Both hostile and benevolent sexism is considered “sexist” because they help to maintain gender inequality. In fact, despite the romantic tone of benevolent sexism, it can have particularly negative consequences for women. For example, people who agree with benevolent sexism tend to behave in patronizing ways that undermine women’s opportunities for success.

One understudied question involves how sexism is shaped by people’s romantic relationships. In particular, we wondered whether sexist beliefs are related to people’s insecurities about romantic attachment.

Network Intrusion Detection

Image
  Introduction At the moment we will deal with the "Network Intrusion Detection" subject. The objective of this assignment is finding computer network attacks are normal or anomalous with some features. Here, we begin with a Kaggle dataset. The "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset ( https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sampadab17/network-intrusion-detection) is a collection of network traffic data that can be used to detect and classify unauthorized or malicious activities within a computer network. Binary classification refers to the task of categorizing instances into one of two classes, in this case, normal or intrusive network traffic.   Data preparation Data preparation is an essential step in the machine learning process to ensure that the data is in a suitable format for analysis. Here are some common data preparation steps we are follow for binary classification using the "Network Intrusion Detection" dataset : Load the Dataset: Start by loa...

METHOD WE USE WITH EVIDENCE AND OBSERVATIONS

Image
 Science is the study of the behavior and nature of things and the knowledge that we can obtain about them. Simply, it is a tool that use to understand the natural world. What I mentioned as natural here is all that we can observe with our senses. Science is concerned with testable knowledge of the universe's physical events. The objective of science is to figure out how the universe works. Biology is concerned with the study of living things. Biology is a scientific branch concerned with the study of living creatures. Chemistry is a branch of science concerned with the study of atoms and molecules. Natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences are the two main fields of science. Scientists use a method called "scientific inquiry" to learn more and to gain knowledge about nature and physical events. SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Science can be defined as learning or understanding new things or understanding or exploring things. Inquiry means asking about information or investi...

KNOWLEDGE THE EPISTEMOLOGY OF PHILOSOPHY

  INTRODUCTION Perception is the sensory experience of our surrounding environment. In broad, perception can be defined as organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. This is a process of physical or chemical stimulation of the sense orange by involving the signals in the nervous system. For example, when the light striking the retina of the eye it makes vision, hearing involves pressure waves. But the perception is not the passive receipt of these above signals. It is shaped by learning, memory, expectations, and attention. This is to show we organize the elements in our brain. Firstly, we select the item to attend to and block out most of everything else in the surround. Yes! It is our brain’s way of focusing on the task to give it our attention. In this case, we have chosen to attend to the image. Then, we organize the elements in our brain.  For this picture, there might some individuals who ...
