For centuries, language has been used by the dominant culture both as a means of constructing power and as a way of maintaining it. Race, language, gender, and sexuality can all contribute to reinforcing one's identity as an "other." In doing so the dominant culture can create and reinforce blame and the perpetuation of minority groups as the "others" using language. Using the method of structuralism, this study aims to demonstrate the social construct in which language used by dominate culture validates the power, privilege, and force of dehumanizing language in the form of "othering."
