I love feminism. I am a much braver woman because of feminism. Women and men need feminism, just like we need air. We have so many opportunities and things to be thankful for because of feminism. I have hundreds of reasons why I needed feminism, and how I have become a better person because of it. Due to feminism, I have gained more confidence in a healthy body image, a greater understanding of my sister’s sexual orientation, and a greater moral compass. I would never want to go back to a world…

gait/movement analysis. Patients who usually return to play from this type of injury will wear a SERF strap. SERF stands for stability through external rotation of the femur. This strap is made of thin elastic and is applied around the thigh, knee, and lower leg to pull the hip into external rotation. This strap is often used because it improves hip control and leg movement during any dynamic activities. Acetabular labral tears can be prevented but only through a means of being a proactive…

try to blend in. The part that I would agree on with being influenced by society is in how I interact with others. Growing up I was a quiet and rather shy individual. I was small for my age and not considered "good looking". Being raised in a lower middle class household where my dad was a small farmer and my mom was of the stay at home variety. I was the youngest of three boys. Society would dictate that being the youngest I was the baby and would always be favored over the others.…

However, those at the lower end of the spectrum, the lower middle class, including clerks and assistants, were lower paid than skilled craftsmen, who were classed as working class.

I really enjoyed the readings this week, while there were several, they were shorter readings and I was able to focus my attention on each individual one. I thought the reading on classism, Mantsios, Chapter 25: Class in America—2006, pp. 150-156, was especially interesting and not something we have talked much about in class. I work with children and families in the educational realm, but there eligibility for participation is based on income. While I superficially understand the oppression…

In the novel A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, there are many ways in which Ebenezer Scrooge is redeemed by Jacob Marley’s ghost and the three Christmas Spirits. The novel’s setting starts in London where there are serious world problems lurking. Dickens, throughout the novel, does not stray far from showing the importance of maintaining good humanity in one’s lifetime. Dickens depicts this through the main character, Scrooge, showing his redemption from the beginning and end of the…

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” This quote comes from Maya Angelou. If schools taught about diversity at a younger age, imagine what are education system would look like. We would have more teachers that are understanding, this includes students. If we taught students that poverty is a real thing and a huge problem in the education system, imagine how different teachers and students approach to poverty would be. I…

You are the middle class and above. Now picture yourself again. This time you are still an American. Your are still privileged but in a different way, you do have opportunity, and with a lot of dedication your dreams might come true. You are the the lower middle class and the poor. The way that “The Lives of Others” relates to modern life is that in both instances there is oppression. Even though one environment might have a greater amount of oppression then the other, oppression still exists.…
