National Convention

In a world where man has always been the leader, is it possible for a woman to become the leader and lead our country like no other? Among other questions, this is one that was asked when making the decision of who to vote for in my very first Presidential election. A President is defined as “the highest executive officer of a modern republic, as the Chief Executive of the United States.” My definition of a President is someone who will lead the country to the best of their ability without…

“Plagiarism is turning in someone else 's work as your own, copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit, failing to put a quotation in quotation marks, giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation, changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit, copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.”…

Sojourner Truth, a strong black women, wrote a speech in order to get her point across, because she believed in her own rights not only as a black but a women as well. Sojourner Truth read her “Ain’t I a Woman?” speech in 1851 at the Women's Rights Convention. Her short, simple speech was powerful, and a strong criticism to many antifeminist arguments at the time. It became, and continues to be, as a classic expression of women’s rights. Truth was, and still is, a symbol of a strong woman. I…

Elections have been a part of deciding the President in the United States since John Adams was elected President in 1796. Elections have become a routine process repeated every four years; where politicians debate their way into becoming are next President. But if you take a look at the current election cycle you would be a little confused. In the 2016 Presidential race there are three candidates that are not even politicians in the campaign. And on top of them being in the race they are all…

INTRODUCTION: Do you see the difference between the male and female population? There is a little difference today, such as the amount of income between the two and how some jobs/activities are men orientated. As of today we tend to view men and women equally then people did in the past. In chapter eighteen of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, I chose to write about three of the four documents which are all written by female activists.

After the legacy of one African American woman ended, the legacy of another began, in a completely different manner. Phillis Wheatley, who lived from 1753 to 1784, was a woman who discovered Christianity and wrote large collections of literature emphasizing her interpretation of the religion. As a result of her lavish upbringing as a slave, Wheatley gained a lot of exposure and opportunities to showcase her talents through the connections her master and mistress had. She was taught English,…

With the horse race election drawing to a close, the time to sway voters’ choice wanes. With all the recent muckraking happening in the last weeks, the positive aspects of each candidate remains evasive. Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and reputation as a pathological liar defaces her accomplishments, much like a hero’s past barrs her future. Likewise, Donald Trump’s female predator status and narcissism represents him as unfavorable and beastly. However, Eugene Robinson, a democratic columnist,…

America fall in love with you, too, as our nation’s first lady.” “Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you’re growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom.” This is not just a silly romantic declaration in front of national TV and in front of the world (though some may argue it does win over the hearts of the sentimentalists), it is a recognition and appreciation to Michelle Obama as her symbolic role of the spouse of the head of state of the United States of…
