The class worked in groups and together we defined the terms democracy, capitalism, socialism, social oppressive "isms", and social institutions. I co-authored these definitions with my group members: Kacie Montano, David Miller, and Regina King. Democracy- Everyone equals everyone. People have a say in voting, decisions, and more. The people vote and the majority wins.
Capitalism- More wealthy and higher leveled individuals have more control in government and decision making. Socialism- People do not have that much of a say, they vote on congressmen and state elected officials to decide what is best for the state. Fascism- Led by a dictator. One person makes all decisions. A government that has absolute power. They want to eliminate media, and think that violence is necessary. Social oppressive “isms”- When groups of people are pushed and pressed down by society. Some examples are racism, sexism, and sizeism. Social institutions- People that come together from a common belief to try and push their views accepted into society. They try to influence other peoples’ behaviors and set a certain expectation for them. Some examples are family, church, employment, school, prison systems, and media.

So great to see this blog post. I am glad that you are using the space to share the work we did in class. I also appreciate the way you worked with your group and how all of you are used to own words to define these complex terms.
