She begins by delineating sexuality as highly idiosyncratic; however, she contends that gendered sexuality is remarkably influential in the construction of our social landscape. As modeled in the Foucaultian bio-political perspective, heterosexuality and subsequent family paradigms are deliberately promoted in order to institute a sense of order.
\n1. "Foucaultian bio-political perspective" - cultural neoliberalism that results in the centralization of resources and an inability to change the status quo due to societal constructs. The ramifications of this application of neoliberalism include large-scale oppression, challenges detecting said oppression, and an extreme centralization of power.
\n
\n
\n2. Neoliberalism - a theory that facilitates a momentous increase in the concentration of power and resources among the wealthy whilst reducing the power concentration among the overwhelming majority. Essentially, it is self-perpetuating, i.e. the extreme few with power are not held accountable for mishaps, resulting in the continuation of the cycle due to the imperative nature of the market in society, their control of the market, and the construction of a punishment state.

He depicts an almost lifelike entity that adapts to new conditions and strategies. He does not separate the roles of governments institutions and capitalist institutions--these "disparate" groups, in reality, work as one to reach "new levels of profit" and "exploitation". He uses the specific example of the "expansion of racialized incrimination" to illustrate the process [NOTE: My computer will not accept that "racialized" is a word and continually tries to correct\/change it]

\nTerms:
\n1. Silo-ed incidences: These are events that occur in isolation. Spade uses the term to explain how neoliberal policies do not occur in a vacuum. They are not silo-ed incidences.
\n
\n2. Civil vs. Criminal systems: What is the difference between civil and criminal systems? The difference between civil law and criminal law basically comes down to private relations vs. public offenses. Spade means to point out that these lines are not necessarily clear-cut, especially in neoliberal policies\/agendas.

She begins by stating that as a whole the political culture has moved, and that neoliberalism is not a set of policies. Although, neoliberalism is a policy that does get implemented and circulates in institutions and in law all of the time. This is due to the fact that the feelings and ideas of who is deserving and not deserving are quite pervasive.

\nAccording to Sealing Cheng, neoliberalism is close related to gender and sexuality; it is very private and individual. In fact, she states that gender sexuality is a necessary part of neoliberalism. Specifically, heterosexuality; it \u201censures the operation of neoliberalism\u201d (Cheng). In other words, in order for neoliberalism to progress properly, it needs the support of heterosexual families in society consistently. In addition, according to Cheng\u2019s definition of neoliberalism, she thinks that it is a strategy or warfare that requires people to follow a \u201cstable order\u201d or traditional social norm. In other words, she thinks that neoliberalism requires people to obey the traditional social norm of gender sexuality because only a male and a female can have babies.

She cites the puzzling nature of how ambiguous Neoliberal changes are in Mexico, and how they are taking place. She states that while some Neoliberal policies are slowly coming to fruition, others are matured including the universal right to have an abortion within the capital city of Mexico. She also examines how the impact of Mexico being a welfare state interacts with the policy goals of neoliberal politicians, creating a dis-configured ideal of how government interacts with its citizens. She states that "Neoliberalism [in mexico] is by no means something that is advancing in a monolithic way, but it gets played out very differently." I interpret this quotation as a explanation of how Ana believes that Neoliberal Ideas, Laws and actions are not a single tsnami like force that sweep over a nation in the short term but rather Neoliberalism is a complex machine consisting of a multitude of cogs and parts of different sizes that are constantly changing and expanding over a longer period of time. This cements the idea of Neoliberalism not being a populist ideal, but rather something that is complex and persistent in its nature.

\nNew terms- 1. "Welfare State" Is a term to define the ideal that governmental organizations should provide a minimum amount of basic services to the public, specifically to those that are poor and would otherwise be unable to afford these services. Types of welfare include food stamps, universal healthcare, unemployment benefits, etc. The modern welfare state was born out of the "New deal" in the United States that established services such as social security.
\n2. "Universal rights" Are rights that are inherently given to all human being just for being born on this earth, these rights were first spoken of by John Locke and later galvanized in the "Bill of rights" as well as the "Universal declaration of human rights". The amount of rights vary depending on what country someone lives in and whom is defining these rights. The most basic universal rights include; to right to live, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to grow old.

She also claimed that kind social structural adjustment policy is not only applied to developing countries, but also threatens U.S economy.
