The cause is experience. 2-Class Consciousness-Realization by the masses about their common experience of being exploited by the upper class. 3-Vicious Cycle-Feeling of inferiority that exists in oppressed groups because of the environment created by controlling forces. The high school environment creates conditions (harrassment) that homosexual students encounter. Homosexual students hear the term gay (environment) and eventually feel that they are inferior. 4-Left vs. Right-Left wants new and the right wants things to stay the same. Mr. Roper from Threes Company wants to keep boys from girls living together to maintain or preserve a way of life. 5-Covering-Groups hide aspects of their identity and do not express aspects of their culture in a loud way. 6-Stratification-Any society that has a have and have-not group. 7-Boeurgeoisie and the Proletariat-The two groups outlined in Karl Marxs dialectic. According to Marx, the B was the have group in control of resources while the P was have-not group consisting of workers. Because of exploitation, Marx felt the P would achieve class consciousness and revolt creating a communist state absent of government. 8-Communism-State controls resources and eliminates stratification to achieve equality. 9-Race Class and Genser Defined by Society-These terms are defined by society and change over time.

Does nature (born with ability) or nurture (environment) make the individual? 15-Rape and Coercion-Think of rape as aggressive and by force. Coercion is more indirect and involves the use of power. Someone could be coerced into sex out of fear of losing something. 16-Economic Freedom vs. Human Equality-Both cannot exist at the same time. Think about a boss forcing his worker to take on a very dangerous job (human equality). The worker is forced to perform the task because s/he fears losing the job (economic freedom).
