Describe a dysfunctional system. What would you do to transform the dysfunctional system into a functional system?

There is a sociologist who suggests that although oppressive systems seem stable, they actually straddle multiple levels. They can never be stable and unchangeable because, as the sociologist (Johnson) notes, it is “impossible for everyone to participate in any system in an unvarying and uniform way.” Thus, it is important for each of us to realize that we are constantly affecting the system of oppression and that change is a long-term, complex process. The first steps of change, then, are acknowledging that oppression exists and paying attention to how it works and how we participate in it (often unknowingly). It is possible for people to engage in “little risk activism” by engaging in small actions such as not laughing at jokes based on inequality, daring to make others uncomfortable in order to make a point, or correcting people when they make stereotyped assertions about other groups. Johnson notes that we should think about change as “small, humble and doable rather than large, heroic and impossible.” Discuss this approach to social change and social movements noting any efforts that you may have made/participated in to do so.
