objects. Females are constrained because they do not have the same freedom that many males are able to acquire. Women have always had to defend for their rights in society. The woman is expected to cook, clean, and to care for the household because those are her "birth given" rights, according to some males. "Unconscious bias may be what accounts for the fact that women still do the majority of the housework... making it harder... to compete effectively in the workplace." (Document E). Females…

Prior to Title IX, it was legal to expel girls from schools. There were also numerous health benefits for females under this law. Once Title IX was passed, studies were shown that the women that were fit and played sports were less depressed than those who didn’t (“Know Your IX”). If you are ever feeling discriminated against, you can go to your school counselor…

“In Afghanistan, where society is ruled almost entirely by men, the birth of a son is cause for celebration and the arrival of a daughter is often mourned as a failure.” In the world Afghan females live in, their gender has no real rights or freedom. Women in that society are taught growing up to stay in their place, which is completely and utterly inferior to their male counterparts, to keep their bodies covered completely as it may have them perceived as an improper woman or to be a harlot, to…

1. The story of Adam and Eve is adapted in the film Wall-e (2008), by visualizing the story of one man and one woman, who alone occupy earth. The film starts off with Wall-e being the only robot on earth, similar to Adam being the only man on earth when god created him. Wall-e can be compared to Adam because they both live in solitary, and are in need of companionship. Comparable to Genesis 2-3, women came after to serve as a companion. After first being introduced to Wall-e in the film a…

In this novel there are many themes that come up multiple times. One of the biggest themes in this book was tradition and breaking tradition. “The old must flow into the new, Sidi, not blind itself or stand foolishly apart” (Wole 54). Baroka said this while talking to Sidi. Baroka the chief of the tribe wants to keep the old in and keep the new out is basically what he said. “Yesterdays wine alone is strong and blooded, child, and through the Christians’ holy book denies the truth of this, old…

Due to limited technology and geography the different city-states of ancient Greece developed independently with different ideas and values.

When children do the ancient civilizations in 6th grade and…

anything; unless it has to do with marketing, then the default is a sexy blonde woman who is half naked, trying to sell cologne on a six-foot poster. If women can sell all of these products, why does the marketing industry think that video games with female leads won’t sell? And, why is it that men are always thought of first in a positive way, and women second to mind in a demeaning way? Sex role stereotyping. Sex role stereotyping is hard to kill, it is the boss battle in society, it may not…

professional life. And Toni Morrison, in works such as The Bluest Eye and Beloved, creates intelligent, honest fictional characters and provides a vast outpouring of thought-provoking and challenging ideas. The fact that both of these women are both female and black makes them the more admirable to me. The older I get, the more important these "'Hero' women" become for me. Such people help one to keep on trying, both by exhortation and example. I like to think I can at least try to follow their…
