Dead White Males is an extremely controversial text as it presents the issues of choosing ideologies in the twenty-first century. Questioning the effects of the media, the academic world and exploring the study of ‘dead white males’, such as Shakespeare, the play is critical of both liberal humanism and post-structuralists views as it brings up the issues with both ideologies. Williamson uses characters such as Col, Sarah and Swain and their public and private appearances to lead Angela to the conclusion
Within the cultural context of society, the systematic structure is defined by White male patriarchy that sanctions Black males to convey the way in which they have been socialized and institutionalized to think, perform, and behave when self- identifying as male.

What is White (male) privilege? Discuss the core components of White privilege and provide some examples. White (male) privilege comprises of having more access to resources, having normative assumptions of self-worth, and escaping consequences like being discriminated against just on the basis of one’s race (Neville, Spanierman, & Lewis, 2012). There are seven core components of White (male) privilege (Neville, Spanierman, & Lewis, 2012). The first core component is that While (male) privilege
In early 1800s society, there was an “Unequal power relation between male and female”. Men were traditionally seen as being the dominant, physically stronger and socially more powerful in terms of status: “traditional masculinity is a strength, rationality, stoicism and self-reliance”.

The truth is that white males get stereotyped just as much, if not more, as other races. White males have been categorized as hateful, major racists, skinheads, and over-privileged. In today’s society, a white male can’t criticize any other race without fear of being called a “hater” or a “racist”. One of the biggest forms of racism towards the white male

Male privilege has existed for centuries, but it was not widely discussed until around 1988 when Peggy McIntosh, a scholar working for Wellesley College Center for Research on Women, wrote a paper titled, “White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences Through Work in Women’s Studies,”. The paper takes a look both at white and male privilege, with a long list of 46 examples of McIntosh’s own, self-recognized privilege as a white woman. The paper
there was a difference in fallout rates between white males and females by race as well as other nonwhite males, a set of one-sample t-tests was used. Table 6 presents a comparison of white males to females by race and nonwhite males. For females, the test indicated that the white males’ (20.28) fallout rate was sig-nificantly lower than fallout rates for Black females (M = 21.84, SD = 0.85), t(4) = 4.12, p =.015, d = 0.82 and significantly greater white females (M = 18.87, SD = .075), t(4) =-4.19
who majority of the time are white males like Thoreau and Leopold. These are just examples, and they are good writers but there are also good African American writers that deserve just as much representation when teaching college courses. There’s a greater choice of writers besides having the same works of authors we’ve already read throughout our experience in studying literature. There needs to be a better variety of cultures represented in literature, white males shouldn’t always be the most
Sociology entitled “White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences through Work in Women’s Studies”. Such a long title seems humorously unnecessary, is spite of the serious nature of its subject matter.
