Identity

Identity is how we are defined a lot in society both through the media and in everyday life , things like Gender , race sexuality and authorship .
One things in all of this that i did find interesting was feminism and how throughout the ages it has changed and became more better , when you look at how things used to be women , at home in the kitchen and raising kids while the guys went out to work and earned and if by some miracle a women would work they would not earn anywhere near the right amount and anywhere near near what men earn .
In one of the lectures we watched ,a film made in Dagenham , which showed the battle that one of the man characters ( rita ) went through to get women rights equal to men , throughout the story you see her life , from being the family stay at home mum and wife and working for little money to , making a real difference and being the voice for women everywhere , it was really inspiring .
Even race is such an issue in todays society , people still discriminate others based on there race , religion , and i feel like no matter how hard we try there will still be narrow minded people that have to brand people , according to appearance and all we can do is try and be better then that , making a difference can be done , it just takes more then just one person .
