When we look at what we know and who taught us, should it be
constant threw out our lives? Do our ideals change overtime with the experiences
that we face and go through every day? Dorothy Smith a 70s love generation sociologist
would say that the bifurcation of consciousness is a dangerous separation between
characteristic of experiences and her own observations.
She spoke on how our knowledge of the world is more of an individualistic
view; we see the worlds organized for us. We just know so then we discard the
essential focus, of different application on how we extort knowledge. These
problems of how objects and things come about on how forgotten individual
history and the struggles that we have put people threw in hard socioeconomics
times. We examine them and sociologists have little to say on how these daily
practices get forgotten. Some things are just seen as habituations. We need to
look at the relations that are apparent every day, the situations that we do
not see or otherwise notice that someone did something even if not out of the
ordinary. Smith gives an example of a room. Everything was put here for a reason,
and we can use it accordingly. This is the yours and mine of our social culture.
These human characteristics that are not shown and highlighted each day are
still the human activates; and interactions that mandate the social
organization of our appearance.
Smith saw that the world was changing and she knew that women’s
situation was not stagnant. The world is not to shape us but we are to shape
the world. She does not want these inequalities and she is trying to show women
that these everyday struggles are not normal however look for an alternative
sociology and explore the relations beyond the experiences and always strive
for better equality.
This is an image objectifying a person, however the role of
male and female is reversed, do you see the difference and normalcy of the
gender role.
