I Got a Woman

Sadly, I have had some experiences with prejudice growing up. Some of the times were subtle where the other times were they weren’t so subtle. Prejudice is the holding of preconceived ideas about an individual or group. I first experienced this when I was 7. I was at the mall and there was a magician demonstrating his skills. It was set up where you can crowd around him and watch from different angles. I was the only African-American girl there but that didn’t bother me because mostly I was…

Mexico, while I was born in the United States. There are many symbols that can represent my race and ethnicity, but the one that represents it the most is my quinceñera dress. A quinceñera dress is not just any regular dress, it is a representation of a young girl turning into a young woman in my culture. Every young woman’s dress is made to fit their style, which means every quince dress is different unless they order it from a catalog, and don’t get it customized to suit their style. I got…

Marcos de Colon, Honduras and we woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing. Kayla, my roommate, and I decided to head down to the courtyard, where the kitchen is to see if Gina had started the coffee. As we walked down the stairs, we saw our principal, Brother Davis, was writing down out itinerary for the day. We headed straight for the delicious soul-warming coffee. As we enjoyed our coffee, Kayla and I watched as our fellow classmates started to wake up. Every few minutes one would walk…

humans. I initially thought as feminism as one set definition that just meant one thing for everyone. That was because of how Feminism was brought up in my high school and how I was brought aware of feminism. My world lense made me think of feminism as a set idea and I did not consider that it could mean different thing for other people. My positionality in the world gave me a single view to feminism and it did not open my mind to any other definitions, or I did not explore any view because I…

What occurred in Rana Plaza was horrible and unethical. I am amazed it’s not illegal. People’s life should not be endangered just so companies can make a profit and get clothes at a cheaper price. What had occurred at Rana Plaza, a textile industry, was that employees were not only exploited, but put to work in hazardous conditions. The woman who was responsible for the safety conditions was never told to report papers that showed the conditions of the building. Owners of textile factories and…

the woman to the man in the society that was meant to be passed on from one generation to the other. According to traditions, the woman is supposed to talk less and do more of the request from the husband. In this case, Walter wants Ruth to speak out more as compared to just performing her expected tasks in the house and supporting him. In the early days, in every community there was a stand for every man and woman in the society. The community expected less talks or complains from the woman as…

I believe it is interesting when Linda is brought back into the director's life. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the foundation of the World State is built upon the idea of promiscuity and sexual freedom. Men, women, and children of all ages are encouraged to engage in loosely formed relationships with multiple partners, which helps to destroy feelings of commitment and loyalty. The ideas of settling down, staying faithful to one partner, and starting a family are horrifyingly pornographic…
