Edublog Assignment #8

The name of my subject is Gentrification,I think that Gentrification happens when a person with power buy or sell the middle and low-income housing and small businesses into more better properties.I think that the person being oppressed in this situation is people that is being kicked out of their homes or people that is getting their houses sold for cheaper.The oppressor in this situation is the Person that kicks the people out of their homes or when they buy their homes for less then rebuild than sell for more money.

Oppression happens when people with power benefits on the people with no power by taking people’s homes and land to build something better for the people with power to stay and live at.

In this image the person being oppressed is the people living with struggles and the people with no home.The oppressor in this image is the people who lives in the better house and the the person who takes people’s land to help themselves.In my family our house is getting old and my parents is resisting an oppression to keep the house and so that we can remodel and live better.

“http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Gentrification-transforming-face-of-Oakland-5387273.php

The person that wrote this is Carolyn Jones.The name of this website is SFGATE.This Article was written in April 9, 2014.

The movement of middle-class people into low-income neighborhoods is profoundly and rapidly reshaping the urban core of the Bay Area, from San Francisco’s Mission District to the farthest reaches of East Oakland, according to a sweeping report released Tuesday.It’s called gentrification, and those most adversely affected – the poor and working class, African Americans and Latinos – are suffering financially as well as physically, according to the report, “Development Without Displacement: Resisting Gentrification in the Bay Area.

Based on the criteria for reliable sources this information is trustworthy because gentrification is happening right now in the bay area and around me.I think that this person has experienced this.I think that the person who wrote this is trying to tell me what is going on now.This source has information that is going on right now and how Gentrification is happening in our community.

The category of oppression that is happening in this situation is Economic because it shows how it is organizing people by the things they need.This is Economic because it also shows that people gets wealthy because others look poor or lower class than them.

The level of oppression that is happening in this situation is Interpersonal because it is showing how one person behave towards another person on how that person live either good or bad.

The thing that causes the oppression to happens is if the person that owns a house has no power but with a middle or low-income house.The person with power can  take over or buy houses for less, then rebuild then sell for more money.

The effect of that oppression is when the people with better things show off or do thing that is better than the people with lower things.I think that the effect is when the people feel they are not being treated right or when they are not better than the people with power.

The oppression in this situation was resisted by how the people in Brazil stood up to protest the reason why they make a stadium and hotel and a parking lot out of their homes and not getting any money for their Education, Health, and for their need.

This resistance caused agency by the way people in Brazil was protesting on how they should live and how everyone should be equal to one another.

I live on Thompson St Oakland California.I grew up in a happy neighborhood and around quiet and cheerful neighbors. I describe Myself as a loving guy and talented by the way my family and my neighbors motivate me.I will describe myself as a good son and a good brother to my siblings and a good friend to my neighbors and my school friend.I am tall,skinny,raiders fan , football player,talented.

 

First of all the first Dominant Picture that stands out to me is that people say tongans eat a lot and they are fat.The reason I pick this is that I am skinny and I do love to eat, many people is not fat that is why they think we are the reason why they pick on us.When I chose this picture I always think about the things somebody will say to me or say do you want the rest of your food.The image affected me because all the picture that I have in my shadow box shows who I am and where I am from.

 

Another narrative is a Counter Narrative and this means to be marginalized and to prove why.One of the Counter Narrative is to not sugercoat because you will eat that too.The food that Tongan people is anything and we love to eat.This image affected me because I love to eat and I hate people looking at the way I eat.

 

Also my Identity images is that I put a picture of the place that my parent came from.One picture that I have in here is a picture of my churh and I am Mormon many people thinks that I am stupid or looks at me and thinks I am that man that will have no life.The reason I picked this picture Is because I was mormon my whole life.This image shows a lot of me and the way I act.

 

Finally people see me as I am a poor and not really popular.I am not that person that thinks they are popular and tease people that do not have something you have.
