Bigotry, Sexism, and Xenophobia: How Do They Manifest in Donald Trump’s Discourse?
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The present paper seeks to determine the ways hatred attitudes and practices manifest themselves in Trump’s language. It focuses mainly on the critical examination of sexism, bigotry, and xenophobia. Having determined the manifestation of these racist ideologies, our focus will shift towards finding the appropriate sociological and psychological interpretations for the obtained findings. To undertake this study, four speeches were selected for analysis: Trump’s taped comments about women (the study of sexism), Trump’s executive orders banning refugees and Muslim travelers (the study of bigotry), and Trump’s speech on Jobs and the economy and Trump’s immigration speech (the study of xenophobia). To analyze these texts, we used a combination between theories of discourse analysis (text analysis and context analysis), theories of sociology, and theories of psychology. The application of this combination consists in the use of a simple method of analysis summarized in three steps: collecting the data, analysing the data, and finding the right sociological and psychological interpretations. The obtained results showed that at a given social context where Trump seeks to highlight his personal proudness and his feeling of patriotism, he reveals his inner thinking about women, immigrants, and foreign nations. The attitudes he expressed to the outer world reflect his tendency to praise the in-group people and denigrate the out-group ones. The discussion of these findings showed that more details will be reported if we undertake the same study once Trump will finish one or two mandates in power.
