Explanation of our Project:
The overall purpose of our website is to explore the theme of power distribution in relationships and its relevance to race and the black community in particular. The intended audience of our website is teenagers, adults, teachers, writers, and whoever else wishes to further investigate the issues we are focusing on. After reading Break Any Woman Down by Dana Johnson, we have decided to use this book and its central themes to further our analysis of power and dominance in the media, society, and our own relationships. Our website introduces three main dominance types that are commonly found in many different types of relationships:
1) Political Dominance
2) Physical Dominance
3) Sexual Dominance
Because of the prominence of power distribution in almost every relationship, it is crucial to become familiar with these terms, be aware of the power distribution types found in books, television, media, and the real world, and understand why this is problematic in our society. We also used outside sources, such as scholarly articles and surveys, to highlight the prevalence of these issues. All of these aspects can be found throughout the website.
