AbstractThomas King's Story, "'You'll Never Believe What Happened' Is Always a Great Way to Start", "Race, Class, and Gender in America Asian" by Yen Le Espiritu and "Zebra: Growing up Black and White in Canada" by Lawrence Hill all illustrate how minority people navigate their intersectionality of gender, race and ethnicity and the limits that the West's dominant ideology imposes them.IntroductionFrom the beginning of time stories have had a great influence on how generations would pass on knowledge to younger generations. The power of stories and storytelling teaches individuals valuable lessons and good morals that help shape them into reasonable citizens. In Western society, children are exposed to stories from infancy, whether through parents telling a story to their children, children listening to people talk about a story, or physically reading a story themselves. Once individuals are exposed to a story, they can never take back the knowledge and information they gained. Furthermore, what story you read or listen to and what the intersectionality and biases of the narrator influence how you as an individual look at the world. The power of storytelling allows people from the minority “other” to educate by bringing more awareness to the inequality in their intersectionality of gender, race and ethnicity as it is becoming a norm that the dominant ideology of the West decides to ignore, as it benefits They. Therefore, intersectionality in Western society limits minority individuals, as the dominant ideology of the West shows that the white man has power over all individuals. Because the only way Western society is able to allow its citizens the full growth potential is to below… middle of paper… nationality and race are different, they are all truly interconnected with each other and they suffer discrimination against the very source that is the dominant ideology of the West. The knowledge we gain through the authors' experiences makes the reader really think about the topic, but ultimately each individual chooses to do what they want with that knowledge and one can follow in the footsteps of the power of the dominant ideology of the West or people can stand up for what they believe in and become activists so that future generations do not become a stereotype that the dominant ideology of the West negatively affects them.
