Question 1

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 2

Why, according to Young, is the difference in status between professionals and nonprofessionals relevant to oppression? Is Young right about this in your view? Why or why not?

Accepted Answer

According to Iris Marion Young, the difference in status between professionals and nonprofessionals is relevant to oppression because it creates a power imbalance that can lead to the exploitation and marginalization of nonprofessionals. Young argues that professionals often have more access to resources, decision-making power, and social influence, which can be used to maintain their own privilege at the expense of nonprofessionals. This unequal distribution of power and resources perpetuates systems of oppression and inequality.

In my view, Young is right about the relevance of the difference in status between professionals and nonprofessionals to oppression. The unequal distribution of power and resources can lead to the exploitation and marginalization of nonprofessionals, perpetuating systems of oppression. This can be seen in various social and economic structures, where professionals have more opportunities for advancement and success, while nonprofessionals may struggle to access the same resources and opportunities. Therefore, addressing the power imbalance between professionals and nonprofessionals is crucial in addressing and dismantling systems of oppression.
