Equal Rights Amendment

If men are equal, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau claims in the preface to his discourse on inequality (40), why do some men live in large lavish houses, while others struggle on the street, unsure of their next meal? The distance between the rich and the poor has been increasing steadily over the last decade, but in reality it has been expanding ever since man separated from Rousseau’s original state of nature. The state of nature is different than that which is natural, and within Rousseau’s state of…

Kurt Vonnegut’s attitude towards equality and the government controlling society is that he is angry with it and wants it to stop. Vonnegut’s use of diction helped prove his point. Vonnegut could have used flinch, grimace, or blanch but he used wince. The ear radios in the people’s ears are causing people to wince in pain. Wince sounds more associated with pain rather than the other words. Some people might say that wince doesn’t mean more pain than a flinch or grimace. True but when reading the…

achieved. But to what extent? In order to become equal, the government took it far enough as to make the beautiful ugly, the intelligent unable to think, the talented handicapped. To be equal should not mean to be the same. Some people are born with extraordinary gifts, while others are not. The government is not god, the government should not have the power to give and take natural ability. As Americans we desperately seek to become the perfect, equal country. To achieve this will damage…

Pakistan do not have equal rights, the Taliban issued a death threat against her for standing up for equality for women. Since Yousafzai is an educational advocate, she went to school, and on her way home from school one day she was shot by a gunman. She survived the shooting and eventually went on to win the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize and promote the importance of women’s education. Although Yousafzai does not live in America, it is important for all women across the world to have equal rights.…

The Social Contract The purpose of the social contract is to bring people together in a society, and then to decide the positions of people in their society. They do this by transferring their rights to another person through a social contract. Once a person leaves the state of nature and is brought into a society, a social contract is the only way for the individual to benefit from what a commonwealth and partnership can bring but also have some sort of obligation to contribute to that society…

I make sure that my contributions are equal to all the members so not one member feels that the completion was not a group effort. The interactions are also strength because interactions and contributions go hand in hand with effective team members. Some weaknesses are keeping the team on track…

scholars concur that having and making use of a diverse workforce has resulted in accrued benefits to organizations (; Stewart and Brown, 2010; Dessler, Mathis et al., 2013 ;). The success of diversity management initiatives is underpinned by embedding equal employment opportunities (EEO) policies in the firm’s business practices. For diversity management to be effective, it should not be aimed at non discriminatory policies that makes provision for…

Our world is full of different people with different thoughts and different emotions. Individualism is the main thing in life that each person needs, being equal does not determine a person's identity. If people were equal then a person would have to be another person not himself. As we read the book “Anthem the author Ayn Rand has a purpose for us through the book. An Tang tells us that individuality has been eliminated in the book taking away “I” and replacing it by “We”. Love, freedom, and…

them. Showing that all things in the world are on an equal level even though we like to think we are superior. Connerton brings up the idea of forgetting old knowledge to form a new identity. Which becomes very applicable in this example, because we as humans were once primal just as everything else on this planet is. However once we evolved into the amazing beings we are today we have forgotten our roots. We as humans, were once connected and equal with everything around us trying to survive.…

Mary Cassatt was a just a young girl growing up in the 1800’s when she created many famous works. In her painting her focus was women and children, since her rights were limited compared to men. In her painting, “The Boating Party,” she touches on the issue perfectly, by using her talent to make a stand. I have always been a fan of Mary Cassatt’s work, and I will for the rest of my life. She has been recognized all around the world with paintings in various museums. When I was in middle school…
