Arguement
Johnson argues that society today is built around an igonorant and stubborn world where everyone decides to ignore the major problems that make huge contridictions in our lives and rather pay attention to themselves and ignore the issues of race and gender tricking themselves into beleiving that by ignoring the problem, they are fixing it. Those of which who feel like they cannot make a difference are wrong in many ways and need to make a difference within themselves first in order to make a difference in the people around them. All things not matter how small or minescule add up and your "weight" has an effect.

Evidence
"This idea should suggest tah nothing will always be this way or any other, contrarty to the notion that privilege and oppression are here to stay."

"This is why most cultures of privilege mask the reality of oppression by denying its existence, trivializing it, calling it somethin else, blaming it on those most vitiized by it, or diverting attenion from it."

"The more you pay attention to privilege and oppression, the more you'll see opportunities to do something about them."

I found this reading very similar to the first Johnson peice that we read in class. However, in this chapter, there is a lot more talk of what we can do rather than what we have to do. I feel as though, by reading this chapter, Johnson tries to push it on his reader to make a change. I think in the first chapter, it was more of a discussion of what the problem was and the main fact that we have to do something to change it. I think in this chapter, Johnson provides with reasons to make a chage, telling the reader that every little thing counts and that the way things in society are now, will not be the same forever and can be changed. I feel as though there is more of an urgence to get out there and make a change right after I read this.
