In the Country of Men

against Wilsons visions for the country. For example, Wilson pursued to draft men for the war due to divided loyalties among Americans, which Debs and Dubois were against. In Debs' Anti-War speech (1918) and Dubois's Returning Soldiers (1919) speech they explain how the government takes…

Loss of Innocence: Aging men through the War The lost generation is one that was hopeful for their life ahead of them; only to be crushed by the harrowing experiences of World War I. The war caused many soldiers to lose their innocence, much like those we see in All Quiet on the Western Front. Nationalism plays a key role in premature responsibility and pressure on these men. Propaganda influences soldiers and their feelings towards the war, which they will later realize to be false. The final…

life, one of continual and energetic cross-country moving, the search for the perfect domicile is less practical than wildly emotional — so emotional that at times she has literally no room…

decades, women have always done what men told them to do; thus, creating “what is feminine” and “what is masculine”. Even though we are all human, women have been trained to be submissive while men have been trained to be large and in charge. Since the beginning of time, men and women were seen as two separate people; men did all the hard work and women stayed home to take care of the children and the household. These gendered actions started stereotypes between men and women and caused later…

Patriotism is more than just waving a flag, it is something from within. Patriotism to me is the pride I take in my country, it is the freedom that I receive from my brothers and sisters fighting for me, it is the peace I get to know that I have a safe place to live, it is the honor I have to be apart of such a beautiful country. Patriotism is the blessings I received from our founding fathers, that gives me faith for a better tomorrow. It gives me hope that my future will be astounding, that I…

Around these men it seems to be a wreckage around them maybe this area was bombed and everything came down as well as the flag. I feel that they are putting up this flag to represent America and their love for the country of the free and the brave. I went online and found out this picture was taken during World War II; I…

people would consider that women are equal to men today, this is not the case. Presently, women in the workforce do not get paid as much as men do, regardless of skill level or experience. “On average, women today earn just 78 cents for every dollar that men earn—an increase of only 17 cents on the dollar since the Equal Pay Act of 1963 was enacted” (“Women’s Rights in the Workplace”). This is currently a big concern for women in America. In other countries,…

In the first four weeks after the declaration of World War 1 ( c. July 1914 - November 1918 ) countries such as Britain felt a great sense of pride and patriotism, this was due to the belief that the war would be over in a matter of months with a minimal amount of casualties, and while the whole country felt that it was their patriotic duty to defend their home, half a million men enlisted in the British Military. Posters also lead to people feeling more patriotic as the British government often…
