1. Dimensions of identity: Stereotypes, discrimination, and oppression:-

Example:- 1 A single father can often be stereotyped as someone dependent on welfare services and inequality still exists in today’s world. I think this stereotype originated because historically men have more access to wealth and income, and as a result, women are more dependent on men. On the other hand, not all men are wealthy and have a good income source. It’s complicated for the single father who has to look after his kids as well as work. Moreover, most of the time society does not accept the father as a single parent, people make fun of the male who does house chores and raises his kids alone. Even at the workplace, only a few colleagues appreciate him, and others just always try to let him down. Because people think that men are the only main earner in families so they are not supposed to look after their kids. It will be solved by spreading knowledge through the play, campaign, and casting live Tele shows.

Example:- 2 The most common stereotype for a person with a disability is fighting for their rights. People in the community do discriminate against them if the person is unable to walk, the disabled person may be supposed to be helpless, unable to look after himself or herself or unable to make their own decisions, unable to see, hear, and person with mental illness. Moreover, at their workplace, they are not getting proper pay as others are because their employer thinks that no one is here to speak about their rights if the disabled person is not well educated. People always target disabled people because they know that disability is unending. This problem would be eradicated by educating the people of society through TV programs.

2. Perspective and feelings about getting older:-

A multifaceted process, aging alters both biological and psychological aspects of the human body at all levels. Better mental and physical health, cognitive performance, happiness, and life satisfaction are all linked to lower subjective ages. Traditionally, three of his academic disciplines have contributed greatly to gerontology: biological aging. It deals with longevity and how (and why) the body changes with age. Psychological aging deals with adaptive capacities such as memory, and intelligence, and how individuals cope with their aging. Psychological/Social Issues:- Decrease in social contact - Death of friends and family - People become withdrawn. Reconciliation with the past - resolution of conflicts, losses, and acceptance. Appearance changes can be difficult. As the roles and tasks that people can handle change, they may not be able to contribute. Society must push elderly individuals out of their current roles and into roles that are better suited to their physical and mental deterioration in order to free up younger people to play significant roles. According to this theory, aging is explained in a functionalist manner. Aging is not primarily explained by a single theory. The psychological, emotional, and social facets of aging are the focus of psychosocial theories. The continuity theory, withdrawal theory, and activity theory are the three basic psychosocial theories of aging. Aging is the process of getting older.

3. Privilege, power and/or powerlessness

A critical reflection on our privilege can help us better understand gender inequalities and improve our approaches to not perpetuating power relationships in the systems and structures in which we operate. Privilege comes in many forms. Questions to help you think about different kinds of privileges include the following. Do you have the right to marry and have your relationship recognized in any country? understand the power In our society, privileged groups have the power to exercise power over others. As a result, disadvantaged people may be further discriminated against and disadvantaged. For example, not only women but also transgender, bisexuals, immigrants, people with disabilities, and older people have less value for their voices, less respect for their perspectives, and fewer opportunities to participate fully in society. may feel limited. The unequal distribution of power has far-reaching implications for an individual's life experiences and opportunities.

• Power and privilege are systemic issues, embedded in the fabric of society. For example, historically, women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have not had the right to vote or stand for parliament. This meant they had limited power to make decisions about laws, laws, and policies that affected their way of life. The lasting effects of this inequality are still being felt today. Recognizing your privilege is an important step toward building a more equal society. Consider how you have received certain benefits, especially those you didn't necessarily deserve or work for, and how they differed from those around you.

4. Aspects of Diversity-

Age I agree with your point of view, Age is the most crucial aspect of diversity. People have different experiences, and thoughts according to their age. Also, every person has their own value, and beliefs according to his or her culture. Old and new generations are influencing each other because of technology, ways of working, and communication of skills.

5. Post-modern feminists

People are well-educated in today's era but inequality is still there. Moreover, all these issues lead to the mental health problem which cannot be denied. Last but not least, gender does not matter everyone has equal rights. If they know about their rights, they can diminish inequality in the communities.
