It refers to a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may
harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs. Institutionalized
adultism, ageism, classism, elitism, ethnocentrism, nationalism, specialism, racism, and
sexism are examples of structural violence as proposed by Galtung.
According to Dr. Paul Farmer, Structural violence is one way of describing social
arrangements that put individuals and populations in harm’s way… The arrangements
are structural because they are embedded in the political and economic organization of
our social world; they are violent because they cause injury to people … neither culture
nor pure individual will is at fault; rather, historically given (and often economically
driven) processes and forces conspire to constrain individual agency. Structural
violence is visited upon all those whose social status denies them access to the fruits of
scientific and social progress.
“When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results,
we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury
would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of
proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and unnatural death,
one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it
deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which
they cannot live—forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such
conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence—knows that
these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its
deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious
murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is,
because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural
one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it
remains.

VISIBLE
INVISIBLE
According to Galtung’s Violence Triangle (1969), Cultural and Structural Violence cause
Direct Violence. Direct Violence reinforces Structural and Cultural violence. Direct
Violence, Physical and/or verbal, is visible as behavior in the triangle. However, this
action does not come out of nowhere; its roots are cultural and structural.
Direct Violence
Direct violence can take many forms. In its classic form, it involves the use of physical
force, like killing or torture, rape and sexual assault, and beatings. Verbal violence, like
humiliation or put-downs, is also becoming more widely recognized as violence. Johan
Galtung, further, describes direct violence as the “avoidable impairment of fundamental
human needs or life which makes it impossible or difficult for people to meet their needs
or achieve their full potential. Threat to use force is also recognized as violence.”
Cultural Violence
It is the aspects of the symbolic sphere, the culture of our society that is used to justify,
or legitimize direct or structural violence. Cultural violence is the prevailing attitudes and
beliefs that we have been taught since childhood and that surround us in daily life about
the power and necessity of violence. Almost all cultures recognize that killing a person
is murder, but killing tens, hundreds or thousands during a declared conflict is called
‘war’ or killing of innocent people by the security forces are often declared as caught in
the crossfire.
Cultural violence makes direct and structural violence look, even feel, right ─ or not
wrong. The evidence of structural violence exists in western countries not meeting every
day basic needs (clean water, health care, education) of some resident minority
populations.
Structural Violence
It is widely defined as the systematic ways in which a regime prevents individuals from
achieving their full potential wherein the action is built into the structures of society,
which show up as unequal power and unequal life chances, the unequal distribution of
resources and the unequal distribution of power to decide over the distribution of
resources.
Structural Violence has no clear perpetrator, but particular powerful interests are at work
and violence manifests itself as unequal power and consequently as unequal life
chances (Galtung)
Invisible
Violence has been converted into structures of power that are normalized and
routinized, so it has become part of everyday life.
Elitism
Elitism as we all know is the rule of the privileged minority in the society. In Mosca’s the
The Ruling Class, he proclaimed that all societies, ‘two classes of people appear – a
class that rules and a class that is ruled. In his view, the resources or attributes that are
necessary for rule are always unequally distributed, and further, a cohesive minority will
always be able to manipulate and control the masses, even in parliamentary democracy
(Heywood 2013). In his article Evans (n.d.) stated that the rulers (elite) of the society
constitute a socially cohesive group that is ‘closed off’ from the ruled and territorially
based within a nation state. He also added that its members are selected by virtue of
their economic, political or ideological resources.
Philippines as the “First Malayan Republic” (Zaide 1965) is known as a third world
country in Southeast Asia. It acquired the moniker “Rising Tiger” of Asia, due to the
development of its economic and political reforms. But, behind this success, it has been
regarded that the Philippines is ruled by an elite group; an irresponsible elite group. Our
elite of power and wealth is extremely diverse. Their members range from the genteel
remnants of the colonial haciendero families to the grossest political-warlord clans
(Gatbonton 2010). The Philippine society is complemented by business elites and
political elites such as dynasties of families.
Elites are not that bad in our society as long as it help and support the marginalized
ones. According to Heywood (2013), Noblesse Oblige means the ‘obligation of the
nobility.’ In general terms, the responsibility to guide or protect those less fortunate or
less privileged. But, some elites in the Philippines forget or is not aware about the
concept of Noblesse Oblige, thus making them the irresponsible elites.
To Elitists, what holds the people is this lack of superiority. Elitism recognizes the need
for people to be governed, and decides that elitists should rule because of all the
material power around, which they have the most. In theory, by making those with the
most possession the ones in power there will be order due to the elites keeping it
together in order to sustain their foothold in society.
But that has not been always the case. In Mendoza, Beja Jr., Venida and Yap’s article
Inequality in democracy: Insights from an empirical analysis of political dynasties in the
15th Philippine Congress published in 2012, Coronel (2007) suggests that a combination
of factors like wealth, popularity, political machinery, alliances, myth, and violence
contribute to the formation of political dynasties. Undeniably, Coronel’s given factors are
correct for Boehringer (2013) also argues that, however we look at it, wealth remains
the dominant factor in Philippine Elections. Politicians together with its supporters
withdraw lots of money before the election for vote buying. Philippine politics, along with
other aspects of society, rely heavily on kinship and other personal relationships.
In summary, some elite families form cohesive group to support each other and form
dynasties. At first they will ensure that the position will remain in their family and then
followed by the allied elite family or sometimes presides by their future relatives. In
contrast, other elites are subjected in a competition with other elites. In Evans (n.d.)
article about Elitism, Mosca argued that Elite circulation will usually occur through
inheritance but, from time to time, power will pass into the hands of another class due to
the failure and collapse of political formula. The fall of one elite group will cause the rise
of another.

Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism is a universal human reaction found in all known societies, in all groups
and in practically all individuals. Everyone learns ethnocentrism while growing up. The
possessiveness of the small child quickly translates "into my toys are better than your
toys", closely related to the concept of cultural relativity is the concept of ethnocentrism.
The world ethno comes from Greek and refers to a people, nation, or cultural grouping,
while centric comes from Latin and refers, of course to the center.
Ethnocentrism is the practice of comparing other cultural practices with those of one's
own and automatically finding those other cultural practices to be inferior. It is the habit
of each group taking for granted the superiority of its culture. It makes our culture into a
yardstick with which to measure all other cultures as good or bad, high or low, right or
queer in proportion as they resemble ours.
Summer defined ethnocentrism as “that view of things in which ones’ own group is the
centre of everything and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.” From this
definition, Horton and Hunt deduce that it is the habit of every group of taking for
granted the superiority of its culture. It means that every culture considers itself superior
to other cultures. Similarly, the people of every nation feel pride and claim superiority
upon other nations. The sense of superiority upon others.
Examples of Ethnocentrism
1. The Americans think themselves as the “progressive” while the Eastern cultures
call them immoral.
2. The Pakistanis call themselves as brave, hard-worker and faithful people.
3. The Arabs call themselves hospitable.
4. History is often taught to glorify the achievements of one’s own nation, and
religious, civic and other groups disparage their competitors openly.
5. Westerners put a value on industriousness that seeing someone else sitting
around and not doing work is perceived as “being lazy”.
6. Men believe that they are superior to women.
Classism
What is Classism?
The institutional, cultural, and individual set of practices and beliefs that assign
differential value to people according to their socio-economic class. It is when someone
is treated differently—better or worse—because of their class (or perceived class).
Others recognize it as similar to racism, sexism, heterosexism and other forms of
oppression.
Class
A class consists of a large group of people who share a similar economic and/or social
position in society based on their income, wealth, property ownership, job status,
education, skills, or power in the economic and political sphere.
Determined by:
Class Identity
A label for one category of class experience, such as ruling class, owning class, middle
class, working class, and lower class.
a) Ruling Class - The stratum of people who hold positions of power in major
institutions of the society.
d) Middle Class - The stratum of families for whom breadwinners’ higher education
and/or specialized skills brings higher income and more security than those of
working-class people.
e) Upper-Middle Class - The portion of the middle class with higher incomes due
to professional jobs and/or investment income.
f) Lower-Middle Class - The portion of the middle class with lower and less stable
incomes due to lower-skilled or unstable employment.
g) Working Class - The stratum of families whose income depends on hourly
wages for labor.
There are no real winners in this system – just different kinds and levels of losers.
Working Class
With regards to workers, the working class have been alienated from their own
organizations (the Trade Unions) and their movement (organized labor) by the
coordinator class and their professional managerial culture; that rigged economics
systematically disempowers the working class, and despite being a minority, elites get a
much bigger slice of the economic pie than the majority.
Sometimes, people who are poor or working class, internalize the society’s destructive
beliefs and attitudes and turn them against themselves and others of their class. These
can include feelings of inferiority to higher-class people, shame about one’s traditional
class or ethnic heritage, and superior attitudes toward people lower on the class
spectrum, resulting in the conviction that classist institutions, policies, and practices are
fair. These are the sometimes hidden injuries and wounds of classism.
Ruling/Owning Class
Everyone is placed at a disadvantage when they have a limited interaction with their
world, no matter how much money or material wealth they have acquired. Being rich
and “superior” can also cause a sense being alienated from the society; that compared
to majority of the people they are privileged and gifted with resources. Ironically, most
people in this class remain largely unaware of their economic privilege.
And upon becoming aware of their economic privilege, wealthy people can suffer from
the guilt, shame and depression often associated with the realization that they may not
feel like they deserve what they have, and that much of what they have may have come
at the expense of other people.
Types of Classism
Individual classism affects individuals by alienating or excluding them from the society.
A person who believes they innately deserve a situation of poverty and squalor cannot
and will not become motivated to fight against nearly impossible odds to elevate their
situation, and thus affects their self-esteem.
It affects individuals or a class working on such institutions because it can cause them a
perception of being inferior to other classes within the workplace. As such this kind of
classism bestows privileges to those who already have privileges and denies it to those
who have little-to-no means.
c) Cultural classism – classism that is manifested through our cultural norms and
practices. It is often rooted in the ideology behind an idea. It is a construct rooted in
different cultural beliefs.
It can cause damage to self-worth. To expound, those people who experience classism
through culture will have a hard time practicing their cultural norms and with this, they
will be ashamed of using their own culture because it is subjected to humiliation and
discrimination.
a) Educate yourself
b) Use your resources to help others
c) Avoid ostentatious living, if possible
d) Model Non-Classist Behavior and Attitudes
e) Create an Inclusive culture and a welcoming environment
f) Take a public stand
Racism
Racism is a socially constructed idea that believes on the idea that a particular
race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s moral traits and capabilities are
predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics. Racism existed throughout
human history. This idea can be define as the hatred of one person by another – or the
belief that a certain person is less than human – due to its physical appearance such as
skin colour or somehow to its language, customs, place of birth or any factor that
supposedly reveals the basic nature of the person. The existence of racism resulted to
numerous wars, slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes.
Racial separatism comes with the idea that there exists the differences among
races and thus different races should remain segregated and separated from one
another. Same with other concepts, racism is also divided to (2) two levels – Individual
Level, which talks on the individual biases and the existence of racism among
individuals and Systematic Level, the existence of racism on the different existing
institutions in the society.
Individual Level
Internalized Racism – this talks about the individual biases and different beliefs that a
certain person possessed. These biases were actually shaped and influenced by their
own culture.
Interpersonal Racism – these biases occur among individuals during interaction with
each other. This comes with the exchange of ideas with one another that actually
shaped the mind of a certain individual on what racism is all about.
Systematic Level
Institutional Racism – these talks on the different institutions (schools, workplaces, etc.)
in the society that executes unjust and unfair policies that only favours those who they
believe are the superiors of the society. Insufficient attention was given to different
races since those who belong to different race were considered as different.
Structural Racism - this refers to the racial biases among institutions and across the
society. This resulted on how do institutions and individuals influence and treat people
based on their colour. People do have suspicion to those who are not white especially
when they are shopping, traveling or seeking employment – all of which can result in
discriminatory treatment and unequal outcome.
The existence of racism can actually result to slavery, discrimination, the feeling of fear,
hatred, low self-esteem, cruelty, harassment and psychological pain. This makes other
feel uncomfortable and unsafe in the society. They feel that no one cares about them
that they believed that they are different from the others and that they do not belong to
the society. It affects individuals and the wider community.
Sexism
“Sexism describes the ideology that one gender is superior to another.”
Sexism is both discrimination based on gender and the attitudes, stereotypes, and the
cultural elements that promote this discrimination. Given the historical and continued
imbalance of power, where men as a class are privileged over women as a class, an
important, but often overlooked, part of the term is that sexism is prejudice plus power.
Also, sexism means discrimination based on sex. Sexism can be compared to racism;
in both the differences between two (or more) groups are viewed as indications that one
group is superior or inferior. Sexism can refer to either the belief of the person doing the
discriminating or their words and behavior. (Lewis, 2016)
“Women can’t be firefighters” is a sexist remark because it is false and has no basis;
there is no reason or need to exclude women from the ranks of firefighters merely
because of their gender alone. Fires don’t care who fights them.
Gender discrimination is making a decision about some issue taking a person’s gender
into account. It is almost always unnecessary, though there are occasional exceptions.
For example, if you are hiring firefighters and you won’t even let women apply, that is
unfair gender discrimination. You should let them apply even if only 5% of the applicants
can pass the test. (Adams, E.W, 2016)
Some sexist people believe that women do not have the strength to perform certain
jobs. For example, a power company may not believe that a woman can climb a pole
and connect service. Some companies do not believe that women are strong enough
lift heavy loads or drive vehicles with precision. A sexist corporation may deny a
qualified female a job because of the aforementioned sexist views. Normally,
corporations do not state that their reason for not hiring the person is sexist.
However, some managers slip up sometimes and make comments such as, “You
may be better suited for an office job,” which is an example of blatant sexism or sex
discrimination.
2. Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a type of sexism that occurs mostly to women. However, some
men do report that they are victimized in sexual harassment situations. Sexual
harassment is a situation in which a co-worker or a person in an authoritative position
pressures another person to date or perform sexual acts. The individual may promise
the victim a promotion or an increase in pay. In the worst cases, the person may
threaten to terminate the victim if he or she refuses. The EEOC receives more than
11,000 sexual harassment complaints per year. Approximately 84 percent of those
complaints come from women.
3. Victim Blaming
More than 200,000 instances of sexual assault occur every year. Many of those
instances involve women. Sadly, society turns some of those female victims into
culprits by using victim blaming. Victim blaming occurs when sexist views cloud other
people’s perception of an incident. For example, society may accuse an attractive
and provocatively clothed woman of inciting a rape or another type of sexual assault.
Rape is an act of power and violence. No woman asks a man to rape her. Clothing
and appearance rarely have anything to do with the male’s motives in a rape case.
Still, sexist people will accuse an attractive woman of doing something to provoke the
act of rape.
Obviously you can tweak them a little bit, but the message for the other person is
clear: Watch what you say.
2. Address It
In order for sexism not to become a pattern of interaction between you and the
person should it be a social relationship, a job, or to prevent the person from treating
other women the same, it’s best to take on sexism immediately. As soon as a sexist
comment or action has been made, call it out either by using a stock phrase or
indicating your discomfort, dislike, or unresponsiveness. This shuts down the possibility
for repetition.
Don’t expect someone else to come to your defense or to say something on your
behalf. For a man to interject is demeaning and sexist in its own right – own the
interaction not because you are at fault but because you can stand up for yourself.
Speak for yourself. Have a set of girlfriends who will back you up if you get into an
uncomfortable situation and whom you will support should they advocate for
themselves, but not to speak for you.
Adultism
“If we are to be successful in our work with young people, we have to tackle the
pervasive existence of adultism. We use the word adultism to mean all those behaviors
and attitudes which flow from the assumption that adults are better than young people
and entitled to act upon young people in a myriad of ways without their agreement.”
What is Adultism?
It refers to behaviors and attitudes based on the assumption that adults are better than
young people, and entitled to act upon young people without their agreement. Social
institutions, laws, customs, and attitudes reinforce this mistreatment.
The essence of Adultism is disrespect of the young. Our society, for the most part,
considers young people to be less important than and inferior to adults.
The concept of adultism, the systematic mistreatment and disrespect of young people is
relatively new and has not been widely accepted as a reality.
Common Statements
“You are too old for that!” or “You’re not old enough!”
Societal Adultism
Laws
There is a different set of laws for young people. They do not have the same rights as
adults. Of course, some laws specifically protect young people from mistreatment but
other laws unduly restrict the life and freedom of young people. Curfew ordinances that
exist in many communities apply to young people but not to adults.
Institutional Examples
Young people in this country are forced to go to school for 12 years, whether school is
an effective learning environment for them or not. If their spirit, energy, or learning style
does not dovetail with the prevailing teacher, school, or educational philosophy, they
begin to “fail”, have “special needs”, are “tracked”, and may eventually be labeled as a
“dropout”.
School Examples
Schools subject students to incredible control through the use of hall passes, detention,
suspension, expulsion, and other penalties. Any community certainly needs rules to live
by, but the rules in most school communities are imposed on young people and
enforced by the adult staff.
Nationalism
What is Nationalism?
Nationalism is an ideology that gives a nation a sense of unity by imposing on them the
same set of identities (for instance linguistic, historical, cultural). Especially peculiar to
nationalism is defining the nation against an Other inside or outside of the state borders.
Nationalism could be generally defined as “the set of attitudes, claims and directives for
action ascribing a fundamental political, moral and cultural value to nation and
nationality and deriving obligations (for individual members of the nation, and for any
involved third parties, individual or collective) from this ascribed value”.
The attitude that members of a nation possess when they care about their identity
as members of that nation, and the other is the actions that these members of that
nation take in order to achieve or sustain political sovereignty.
Forms of Nationalism
Liberal Nationalism
Liberal nationalism is a form of nationalism which generally posits along with other
forms that the human kind is naturally divided into a collection of nations however the
key difference is that liberal nationalism links the idea of a nation to popular sovereignty.
Liberal nationalists uphold the principle of national self-determination, the equality of
individuals and the universality of human rights. As principled as liberal nationalism is its
correlation with violence cannot be overlooked due to the fact that it connotes the idea
that you are part of a collective identity which then separates you from foreigners and
thus when war comes it usually becomes a reason for individuals to fight, kill and die for
their “country” with disregard as to whether or not their nation’s cause is just and right.
Conservative Nationalism
Expansionist Nationalism
Heterosexism
Gays - An individual who identifies as a man and who is predominantly sexually and
romantically attracted to other men.
Bisexuals - An individual who is sexually and romantically attracted to men and women.
Transgender - An individual who identifies as the opposite sex from the sexual genitalia
that he/she was born with.
Queer - Sometimes used to express that sexuality and gender can be complicated and
change over time for lots of people (Planned Parenthood.Org., 2017).
Heterocentrism
Heterosexual Privilege
What is Heteronormativity?
second guessing to disclose their partner’s name, gender or pronoun (he/ she)
Heterosexism V. Homopohobia
Homophobia refers to the irrational fear, dislike, hatred, intolerance, and ignorance
of homosexuality. In other words, any aversion to those that are not heterosexual.
Although homophobia has always existed, it is only recently that we were able to give it
a name, and have come to realize that it constitutes an unacceptable attitude in a
diverse and civilized society.
To break it down, heterosexism is a systemic bias, which leads to, intersects with
and fuels homophobia (the aversion, or being against, the lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, Two pirit and queer community) (The Rainbow Research Centre 2017).
help others better understand and truly challenge the misconceptions, myths, and
assumption that exits towards LGBTTQ people (The Rainbow Research Centre 2017).
Ageism
It is discrimination or unfair treatment based on a person’s age. It can impact on
someone’s confidence, job prospects, financial situation and quality of life.
It can also include the way that older people are represented in the media, which
can have a wider impact on the public’s attitudes (Age UK.Org 2017)
Being refused interest-free credit, a new credit card, car insurance or travel
insurance because of their age.
Not being eligible for benefits such as Personal Independence Payment due to age
limits.
Being refused a referral from a doctor to a consultant because you are ‘too old’.
FEAR of DEATH
Older people are a reminder of our impending mortality, people in the USA tend to
associate negative feelings with (and ascribe negative qualities to) older adults. The
anxiety and fear that are associated with death lead young people to blame older
people for their plight – getting older.
Cultural Explanation
Cultural explanations would point to the slow marginalisation of older people since
preindustrial times
Economic Explanation
Over the past 120 years has been accompanied by a more negative perception of
the economic value of older people (who are frequently portrayed as a fiscal ‘burden’
with regard to their pension, health and social care costs)
-Nelson(2009)
By:Nelson,T.D.(2011)
According to TMT, culture and religion are creations that give order and meaning to
our existence, and this protects us from frightening thoughts of one’s own mortality and
the seeming random nature of life. Self-esteem is derived from believing that one has a
place and purpose in the world. Thus, according to TMT, self-esteem serves as a buffer
against anxiety associated with thoughts of one’s mortality. According to TMT, because
older people are a reminder of our impending mortality, people in the USA tend to
associate negative feelings with (and ascribe negative qualities to) older adults.
The anxiety and fear that are associated with death lead young people to blame
older people for their plight – getting older. In so doing, they can deny the thought that
they too will grow old (and die). By blaming the older person, stereotyping him/her, and
treating elders with pity, anger, irritation, or patronizing speech, younger people are able
to trick themselves into believing that they will not eventually die. T
his derogation of older people only serves to create a perpetual cycle of ever-
increasing prejudice against older persons. The more negatively younger people treat
older persons, the weaker and more negatively older people are perceived, and the
increasingly negative way older people appear, in turn only increases the anxiety young
people have about death, and this amplifies their tendency to act in ageist ways toward
older people.
Dimension AGEISM
It refers to those:
EMPLOYMENT
1930s, there has been a debate about the use of age-proxies in hiring, firing,
promotion, demotion, remuneration, training, and mandatory retirement (which many
anti-ageism campaigners see as the most objectionable example of age
discrimination)… age proxies are held to be unfair since heterogeneity in health status,
cognitive ability and working capacity increases as cohorts age.
A long time anti-ageism campaigners have argued that older people are unfairly
discriminated against in such areas as motor or holiday insurance, or in health care
(where there are longstanding and well-justified allegations of much informal
discrimination against older patients Macnilon, J. (2010).
