    According to Arthur Kleinman, there is no better doctor-patient relationship than one where both parties are able to answer a set of eight seemingly obvious and simple questions. The key to this dynamic is the ability to answer, not the similarity between answers. The importance of this distinction could have made all the difference in the conflict in Lia Lee’s case. The introduction of eight “golden” rules to consider in health care at the end of Lia Lee’s case allow all parties to self-reflect retrospectively and consider the cosmological differences between Lia Lee’s parents and her doctors. The take-away is to eradicate the cultural term of noncompliance, as this asserts moral supremacy.…

    In the passage “What Has Happened Here” Elsa Barkley Brown believes that women’s history should be inclusive of gender, race, and culture as these have important significance in shaping outcomes and society perspective. She talks about how historians like to “isolate one conversation” (297) to explore them to tailor its dialogue to fit different narratives. This however in turn loses significant facts that should not be left out when shaping the details. Barkley is adamant about the importance of Anita Hill’s race in the testimony of the sexual harassment case. Thinking that in order to make the public more sympathetic and keep the case simplified they should focus strictly on the sexual harassment of a women by a man.…

Home economics is very important in creating a healthier and more knowledgeable a generation. In the past participating in a home-ec class is exceedingly more common than it is today, however, this was not without its drawbacks. She says this program was mainly used to teach women how to be proper housewives. As time passed, our culture has come to a position that women are less often housewives and more part of the everyday work force, making general knowledge of home-ec more crucial to our everyday lives.…

    In "A Good Man Down" Lee Jenkins uses numerous writing elements in his article, including word choice and pathos. Many people may ask how communities of such small towns can begin to think of ways to overcome such large tragedies, in this case a devastating tornado, and a school shooting, in which a prominent member of the community was killed, in a small town called Parkersburg? Jenkin begins the article describing the upkeep of the "sacred acre" football field by Thomas, a 58-year-old head coach, of the football team. A way Jenkins introduced word choice as one of his elements was the vivid representation of the upkeep of a beloved high school football field in the heart of Parkersburg.…

    The prose from ‘Don’t Let’s Go To The Dogs Tonight’ by Alexandra Fuller is full of imagery that makes the reader understand the characters better, as well as the situation that the characters are in. The author uses eloquent language to support the imagery in the text. Her usage of language helps us get a broader view of what the characters are like and how these characters form a family, we also get a perspective of the business that this family is working in and how they are in a way discriminated by looks, a farmer differing from a buyer. And how the tobacco business is hard from the perspective of the farmers. The three major things that I have noticed while reading this prose was that there is a great amount of imagery, the characters…

    Over time, women have struggled to free themselves of systematic oppression that prevents them from achieving and succeeding in society. In the poem “It’s a Woman’s World”, Eavan Boland is an examination on the status of women in society.

However, the content of the poem promptly proceeds to contradict the title. Throughout Boland’s poem, the speaker reveals that in a “woman’s world”, women are overlooked and their status remains unchanged in the community.…
