Tuesday Draft Questions - Albert Lam

1. From Bani Amor's Teen Vogue story, we learn that "about 40 percent of [Equador's] congress is made up of women, ranking 20th in women’s governmental leadership worldwide. The U.S. comes in at number 100." In the United States, where might we see the detrimental effects of a lack of female representation in congress?
2. From the interview with Julieta Paredes, she says that "Education is focused on domesticating individuals" in her response to the very last question. Sometimes, it is said that education teaches one how to follow directions and fit in, which is likely part of the basis of her answer. What are some examples of how a formal education may stifle certain parts of one's life experience? Some areas to consider may be civic action or the arts, but there are many avenues to answer.
3. What is the significance of differentiating between feminism and communitarian feminism? How might a feminist and one who is specifically communitarian feminist approach activism differently?
