• What are the different statuses on the posters, and what do each of them mean? There’s 3 different statuses on the poster Open, Acknowledged, and closed. They mean different things for example Open means its public for people to view and then either do something about it or at least take the time to figure out the problem. Acknowledged is basically the figuring out the problem part which means that someone who can fix the problem may have looked at the problem but need more information about that. Closed means that the issue has been looked at, it’s being solved, and maybe even getting fixed. 

• Describe what you did (or what you were supposed to do) to find out if the issue you submitted to SeeClickFix was fixed. What I did to see if my issue was fixed or not was by going to the sight SeeClickFix.com to see if my issue was Open, Acknowledged, or closed.

• What changes do you notice from the April 13th posters to the April 27th posters? I notice from April 13th and April 27th people’s issues on that poster has been acknowledged more. I also notice that some people’s are even being closed.

• Do you think there are any types of issues SeeClickFix is better at getting fixed than others?  Why do you think that? I do think SeeClickFix are better at getting issues fixed better than others because it makes people open up to see the things that are happening in the community and how it looks when their Downtown vs High st.

• If an issue someone reported did not get fixed, what is something they might try next? If someone issue isn’t fixed they can keep trying or find another issue. They also can try to fix that issue themselves if SeeClickFix don’t want to do something about it. 

• Do you think people who report issues to SeeClickFix are able to gain agency?  Explain your answer. I do think people gain agency from the issues they report on SeeClickFix because people are seeing that the issue can be making the certain parts of Oakland horrible when people don’t want that especially the mayor. Someone with privilege is gonna say something about these issues so they can get fixed and having Oakland looking it’s best.

 

 

Occupy Oakland started based of the death of Oscar Grant that’s when there was a plaza named after him that was originally named Ogawa Plaza. There was a generally strike that shut down port Oakland. Law enforcement didn’t like the things Occupy Oakland were doing because there is a powerful message and Law enforcement tried to stop them. I think this is in a category of Level of Oppression which is Interpersonal because people protesting and naming a place after Oscar Grant based off the death done by the Bart police. This story was placed in Oakland, CA in front of Oakland city hall. This story happened in October 2011.

African American Oscar Grant 22 years old was tryna get on bart on New Year’s Day that’s  when Bart police came and tried to see who were the a in a fight that had broke out earlier. They saw Oscar and though he was apart of it and that’s when they put  Oscar on the ground. The white male police put a pistol to Oscar back and “accidentally” shot Mr.Grant.  I think this is a system of Society Oppression because the police didn’t have no type of relationship with Oscar which means he didn’t care about him living so he thought that he can stop oscar from resisting with a taser, but he grabbed his gun instead and  he shot him. This story happened New Years day at 2:15 a.m. The bart where Oscar was murdered and on bart was  Fruitvale Bart.

SEECLICKFIX supports the people in Oakland by fixing anything they need or issues they have because most of their problems have something to do with the damage in Oakland.

• Do you think SEECLICKFIX helps people in Oakland to resist oppression?  Explain why, or why not.

• Explain the story of how you took your picture for the SEECLICKFIX project (Describe what you took a picture of, when you took it, where you were, how, and why).

The story to how I took the picture was when I was walking on Havenscourt International to go to the store then I stumbled and I noticed that there’re was cracks in the ground.

To begin with females and males never got paid the same amount of wage as male especially if they were another race is level of oppression which is Economic because males always got paid more than females and money is something that everyone needs to survive in this world, so if their is inequality going on based on someone race or gender then its making someone get less which is the women in this situation.  I got this document from a source created by The United States Department Labor, which is the government agency that keeps track of all the people working in that country. This was made in 2009. According to the document “Asian men get paid $952 and Asian women  gets paid $779.” This shows how people experience different Levels of Oppression which is Economic because the law thinks that females need to get paid less than males do based on their gender or race which can mean that the law values men more than women.

Second of all nobody even remembered who Emmett Till was until this women confessed that what she said about his doings was a lie that has to do with level of oppression which is Interpersonal Oppression because the women who accused young Emmett till of harassing her finally committed to him not doing anything to her, but whistle that gotten Emmet beaten, shot, and killed by the women family. I got this information from document from a quote in the article from New York times Newspapers website. The article is called “Woman Linked to 1955 Emmett Till Murder Tells Historian Her Claims Were False” and it was written by Richard Perez-Peña on January 27, 2017.  According to the document “allegations that Emmett grabbed her and was menacing and sexually crude toward her, “that part is not true.” This shows this is Interpersonal Oppression because this woman felt rage and anger towards Emmett Till cause of his color complexion which she felt the need to lie on him and say he did terrible things to her, so from him whistling at her put him in a very harmful position that he didn’t want to be in which caused him his life.
