            The four I's of oppression by Luna Malbroux.

LTI Launch

    In the video, Luna first shows us the four I's of Oppression which are Ideological, interpersonal, institutional, and internalized. She argues that the way you are shaped around the world is by gender and by race. She explains how the way your teat people has nothing to do with racism. There are systems that has to do with racism, transphobia, ableism and more. these systems include institutional, internalized, interpersonal, systemic racism, and ideological. Ideological has to do with stereotypes. For example, boys don't cry, or girls should be pretty. These shape how people are guided. Interpersonal is how we have all experienced being treated differently because of an aspect of who we are. Institutional is how institutions reinforce and manifest their ideologies. An example is how are neighborhoods are set up to exclude people. The last I is Internalized. Internalized are messages that may not be explicitly stated. You can see this in movies, books, and the political system. We internalize things because there is a dominate narrative that tells us that there is a standard norm. These are all things that Luna Malbroux argued about throughout the video. 

        I agree with everything that was said. I believe that these main I's are very important in our society because they have formed how people think about things. This video showed us how there is a system with oppression and defined them for us.
