Intersectionality
intersectionality plays a HUGE role in a person's experience of social exclusion, especially in Canada where people are free to practice and express their personal identity, culture, religion, and sexuality as they please. It is then their intersectionality that determines their level of oppression in society. Intersectionalities contributing to social exclusion include:
Age
Race/ethnicity
Religious and cultural beliefs, traditions, and practices
Disabilities
Appearance
Sexual Orientation
Gender
Social Status/income
Language and accent
Democracy, Systems of Power & Domination
Globalization
Globalization and westernization have contributed to the social exclusion agenda by essentially creating the idea of what an "ideal citizen" looks like
Capitalization
contributes to oppression of lower-class people, minorities, historically persecuted peoples, and exacerbates poverty
Colonization
Social & economic heirarchies
Patriarchy
Gender oppression, inequal power dynamics, male dominated societies
