In the Country of Men

through slavery or through religious reasons. Many countries, such as the United States, do not discriminate against women in their agricultural sector, yet Benin is not one of these countries. Benin is a smaller, undeveloped country located in West Africa. This makes the country’s production of agricultural products much less diversified and focused on ridding itself of sexism. This article goes into an example of how women are worse off than men when they produce agricultural products. This…

In some countries, there is a draft requiring both men and women to join the army. I believe women should not be forced into the military because most women do not have the talent to fight for their country, and men do. Men however, should be required to draft in the military when they turn eighteen. First off, it has always been the men's job to protect their country, and to protect those who cannot defend for themselves. It is the women's job to stay home and take care of the family, while…

Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis is based upon the men and woman who helped build America as to what it is today. They fought hard and long to share their opinions about how they wanted America to run.

“The law did not protect us” writes Coates in “Between the World and Me” pg. 12. Yet Socrates in discussion with Crito States that he is “victim of men, not of law” in pg. 54 of Plato’s “The Trial and Death of Socrates.” The contrast in these two quotes is indeed unfair. We are speaking of two very different historical periods and two very different circumstances but however, I believe it highlights the reality in which people of color live in today. Racism is alive, to deny its existence is to…

from a different country who goes to another country and lives there would live in harmony; no big changes and all they shared was land. But, after the reading I saw and was opened to the fact that some people like explores go out and look for counties with less knowledge and resources to inhabit and they bring along with them valuable resources, and their home countries’ culture, customs, ethics, and way of living.

German women faced the task of being mothers to the children, as well as protectors of the home. Elsbeth Zander explains the expectations of women saying that, “Our era so loudly demands German mothers, for those who will try- through true motherly love, through…

still exist?” The truth is, although there are factors that contribute to both racial and gender wage gaps, all men and women alike deserve the same pay as men and are not given this right due to prejudice. The wage gap between Caucasian men and women has decreased over time, but still endures. Studies have shown that women provide an equal amount of effort into the workforce as men, yet make much less. One example of this would be the Gal Gadot controversy. Gadot was paid $300,000 for her…

go unnoticed but for killers Siddhartha Brutus and John Wilkes Booth, their murderous acts were quite famous. Both men killed famous leaders that are Julius Caesar and Abraham Lincoln. However, they both admit they are guilty for doing such a treacherous act yet they believe they are justified for doing so. They believe that they were doing a good deed to their country.
