Which is an example of reappropiation in todays media?
One example of reappropriation in today's media is when marginalized communities take symbols or cultural elements that were originally used in a negative or stereotypical way and repurpose them to empower themselves or challenge stereotypes. This can be seen in the LGBTQ+ community reclaiming the rainbow flag as a symbol of pride and acceptance.
What is non finance benefits?
In the context of a workplace, non-financial benefits are things that are perks of working at that company but aren't financial in nature. For example, a company may have a gym on-site that is free for employees. You're not receiving money in this situation, but it certainly can be a benefit. This is not to say that non-financial benefits aren't important or could impact you financially. Using our example of the on-site gym, you may have instead spent $50/month on a gym membership and now that money can be used for other things -- essentially a reappropriation of funds that amount to a financial gain provided by your employer. Many times the employer will choose to use what is called a "total compensation statement" to clearly demonstrate all of the financial and non-financial benefits you are given. It is important when deciding between multiple job offers to figure out which situation is most beneficial to you -- not just the total dollar amount!
