    The first thing Stanton does that makes this an effective speech is pathos. Stanton uses this appeal by telling different stories to evoke the women of that times emotion. She tells of how women are treated in different places. She says: From the Arabian Kerek whose wife is obliged to steal from her Husband to supply the necessities of life,-from the Mahometan who forbids pigs dogs women and other impure animals to enter a mosque, and does not allow a fool, madman or women to proclaim the hour of prayer,- form the German who complacently smokes his meerschaum while his wife, yoked with the ox draws the plough through its furrow,-from the delectable gentleman who thinks an inferior style of conversation adapted to women-to the legislator who considers her incapable of saying what laws shall govern her, is this same feeling manifested (Stanton).…

    Based on the article, Nacirema, by Horrace Miner, I think that the Nacirema are very gullible and rely on the assistance of “higher powers” to feel better about themselves. The article describes them as people that are masochistic and sadistic because they go through painful rituals that may put them at risk, just because its is a part of their cultural beliefs. They are very afraid to do anything that is outside of the rituals. For example, the article stated that all Nacirema have to interact with their shrine every day, so that they feel protected. They also have very negative ideas of their bodies.…

    Sydney Owenson’s The Missionary asserts the universalism of Western culture and how the East is similar to the West but slightly different, as a way to make conversions to Christianity more successful. Although the text aims to portray a more neutral stance, it actually prioritizes the West when it attempts to bridge the gap between the two sides by saying that “Chrishna” is the “Indian Apollo,” not realizing that this views the East through a Western lens rather than allowing it to exist on its own (Owenson 91). In this instance, the text primarily mentions the language of idols as a conduit to signify the commonality of the people, more specifically, their religions. The text complicates the commonality of the people when it elevates the “bridging process” by…

    Masculinity Versus Femininity in Macbeth Throughout Western history, the idea of masculinity versus femininity has been a defining aspect of society. Femininity is traditionally associated as being weak and masculinity as being strong, respectively with women and men. Despite common thought, masculinity versus femininity is nothing more than a social construct and is not black and white. Even in 17th century Scotland, such a construct played into Banquo calling the witches men, Lady Macbeth asking to be stripped of her femininity and in turn her controlling Macbeth by insulting his manhood.…
