Maria Miller Stewart who was a servant, teacher, abolitionist and women's rights activist shows through her literary work "Religion and the Pure Principles of Molarity, the Sure Foundation on which we Must Build." that black women show the same qualities as any other race of women and that they don't deserve the title of Jezebel.

    Throughout history and up until our modern day, class conflict, violence, and the desire to dominate have always existed amongst human beings. The “fetish” of one group or sets of people depicting how “constructive structuralism” should look like and operate has contributed to the disparities within our society because of the ways in which we communicate with the general population. Many of the discontents and conflicts that exists in our world between different global hegemonies and globalization result from sudden political and/or economic changes which eventually influence social norms and culture values.

    When a person in authority uses their influence to get what they want, it’s manipulation. Americans fell under the influence of manipulation by going to war with Japan. Considering that leaders only have to “tell [the public] they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to greater danger” in order to make people go to war, it’s easy for authority to use their influence to manipulate the people (Goering). After the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, killing over a hundred thousand Japanese people, Americans considered these deaths a victory because those in authority declared that it was.

    According to Webster’s Third New International Dictionary glamour is ‘an allusive, mysteriously exciting and often illusory attractiveness that stirs the imagination and appeals to a taste for the unconventional, the unexpected or the exotic’ and further expands upon this interpretation with a second meaning: ‘a strangely alluring magnetic charm… personal charm and poise combined with usual physical and sexual attractiveness’.

Whilst the standards of sexiness, especially for women, seem to be decided upon by men and the media created more specifically…
