We have come pretty close to the conclusion of the blog assignment (yay!). So I was wondering how to wrap up the blog. I realized how most of us (in fact, I think all of us) only talked about homo/heterosexuality and the power dynamics between men and women.
I want to conclude by raising some questions about the power dynamics between men and men. In professional industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing companies or automobile-manufacturing companies (these are just two examples of many), I am confident to say that your skin colour plays a bigger role than your abilities. What I mean is men who are immigrants in a particular country are inferior to those people who originate from the country the immigrants moved to. I have personal experience.
Adding to what I said there in the last paragraph, skin colour is not the only thing, but there are lots of other factors, which determine who your colleagues are. I believe the socioeconomic class is one factor that has a role to play, as well.
What do you think about this issue?
Do you think that class, skin colour matter in an industry and not just your capability?
