| Summary: | The capitalistic system has been adopted by many countries around the world. It has replaced
the feudal system and the monarchy that governed societies in the past. The rise of capitalism
has also brought about many benefits and at the same time, lead to the exploitation of many
different groups of people in society. These different groups are exploited differently under the
oppressive force of capitalism. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT)
community are a one such minority group situated in society who face different forms of
exploitation due to the different identities which they possess. Gender, race, and class are
examples of identities that may be ascribed to an individual. Capitalism then exerts its influence
in varying degrees on different identities which exist in society. As such, my paper is centred
around the exploitative nature of capitalism and focuses on how it exploits those who identify
as LGBT. |
