Infanticide

Could the legalization of abortion 1973 be the cause for the drop of crime in the 1990’s? That is precisely what Dubner and Levitt are saying in the article “Where Have All the Criminals Gone?”. In this work Dubner and Levitt make the claim that the decrease in crime rates in the early 1990’s was caused by the legalization of abortion in America. The essay makes very convincing arguments against commonly accepted causes for the drop of crime and outlines this increase of abortion as the sole…

social justice, etc. Multiple Discrimination on Dalit Woman Gender inequity is a challenge at every level. As modern India races forward and adopts global gender norms, the majority of the country is still firmly rooted in patriarchy. Female infanticide, violence against gender minorities, and scarce opportunities are just a few results of this system. Families traditionally give preference to sons in allocation of resources and access to education, resulting in gender inequity in public and…

A revolutionary, but flawed man, President Woodrow Wilson blamed Europe’s fragile infrastructure on its dependence on a balance of power, and so he proposed his Fourteen Points at the Paris Peace Conference and with it the groundworks for an effective peace with the creation of a League of Nations. The League would serve as an international parliamentary system responsible for the maintenance of peace through a system of collective security, whereby external aggression against a member nation…

A. The Profession of Social Work as a Career Goal The United States is a country known for protecting and defending their people especially their children. However, after centuries of our society condoning all types of atrocities from infanticide to exploitation of children’s labor and the many attempts to form a functional child welfare system, children who are victims of abuse and neglect do not receive the adequate services and support they need. Abuse comes in many different forms and it…

"troubles" that have occurred due to the "love of women" - here, the playwright seems to be favouring the rational, "seasoned" outlook of Jason that maintains equilibrium in society, rather than the destructive feminine passion of Medea. Finally, the infanticide, the most controversial element of the play, exposes the abhorrent way that Medea envisions installing herself into a position of power. Shocking his audience with a "wretched, accursed woman" who will lay her "bloody hands" upon her…

fails completely to exhibit the good kingship for which he becomes famous. The way Malory continues building Mordred’s character is that he brings out the darker sides of King Arthur. One morbid instance is when Arthur essentially commits mass infanticide, when Arthur was foretold by Merlin that Mordred, who was born on Mayday, would kill his father. As Malory states, “Arthur let send for all the children born on Mayday, begotten of lords and ladies” (Malory 31) and “all were put in a ship to…

Toni Morrison’s Beloved is an examination of the fundamental human rights and relationships that the institution of slavery has prevented blacks from claiming. From parent-child relationships to basic assurances of physical safety, there is nothing that can be sacred or protected to the slave. True freedom, therefore, necessarily requires the tremendous audacity of claiming the relationships and rights that slavery had forbidden and maintaining them. The slave’s access to God should be no…

Many might not acknowledge how much of an impact food has made in shaping the society in which we live. Another unknown detail is that the use of farming is very recent to our knowledge. Dating to about 11,000 years ago, farming has played a key role in the evolution of mankind. About 11,000 years ago humans started to cultivate food intentionally. This process of cultivating food is known as “farming” and it started taking hold in the Near Eastern part of the world at about 8,500 B.C.…

and overthrow the civilised state and functioning city. It is Medea, the 'unfeeling monster', 'sorceress, and 'unhappy Colchian' acting on logic makes someone a evil monster, who feels excessive emotion towards committing an "unhearted-of-act" of infanticide. Her love for her children makes Medea hesitate and an uncertainty of committing such a crime, but ultimately it is her love that undertakes her murderous intentions. Medea initially does not want to undertake such an action against her…
