The President is not only the head of the United States and…

2. I do think that Hannah Rosin is correct about the end of the dominance of men in hookup culture, pharmacy, the middle class, marriages, and in the classroom. However, many of these realms of the decline of men were not topics of this course. We did discuss gender and education, and I would argue that Rosin is right about the end of men in education, as women have surpassed men at almost all levels. The statistics are striking. Women earn almost 60% of all bachelors degrees, and masters…

The double standards set up by society were finally boiling over, and women felt the need for an Equal Rights Amendment, which was originally proposed in 1923 by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman. This inspired Shirley Chisholm to give her 1969 address to Congress, Equal Rights For Women. The speech expressed the irritations of women from the last century. Women were constantly…

would not be aborted if people really knew they were human. First of all, this is not true because there are stories of mother who kill their child after failed abortions. But even if his only goal was to convince people that fetuses too are humans, I believe he fell a little short. I would have liked to see a few more logical defenses.

Universal healthcare and insurance coverage is something America is still striving for. After reading Healthcare Reform and Social Movements in the United States by Beatrix Hoffman, the struggle for national healthcare was clearly displayed. The first instance of social movement towards universal healthcare was expressed in this article in the year 1904. “The…

of each party, and the motives they have for becoming a Democrat or a Republican. There are numerous differences between these two parties including taxes, the role of government, Social Security and Medicare, gun control, immigration, healthcare, abortion, and gay rights. The two political parties were formed in the mid to late 1800’s. For the Democratic Party, its roots can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson. The people were originally known as Jefferson’s Republicans. They were against to…

For Judith Jarvis Thomson abortion is something that should be a negative right, provided that it has certain guidelines. One in which abortions are neither a right that should be given nor taken away. Thomson begins by arguing that there is no right time to mark the point in which a person should begin to be considered a person. She then gives an example of an oak tree and how it is not called an oak tree at the beginning, but goes through stages to become an oak tree. Nevertheless, Thomson…
