The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions is a political text. This text was presented in the first women's rights convention of the United States, held in Seneca Falls (New York) in 1848. During this convention, seventy women and thirty men gathered to discuss about the conditions of the rights of women in social, civil and religious life. At that time, the country was enjoying a period in which only free men (white, non-slaves) had the right to vote. In consequence, slaves,…

women couldn’t vote or do anything, especially the black woman. Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and women's rights activist who wrote the famous poem “Aint I a Woman?”. On May of 1851 Sojourner delivered the speech at the Ohio Women's right convention. The reason for “Aint I a Woman?” was to get rights for women because woman couldn’t vote or where looked upon as weak and not smart. This poem was intended for head political powers as well as men in america. Sojourner Truth wanted to get…

The film, Suffragette looks at the struggles the women who fought for the right to vote went through. The film takes place in London 1912, prior to women having the right to vote. As a result, women's rights were not valued as much. Caffi states that "Every social institution should have as its sole reason for being that of assuring the happiness of the man conscious of his own individuality" (Caffi 1970). A man's happiness, needs, and desires at this time were much more valuable than a woman's.…

movement got their political start in the abolitionist movement. Through demanding the freedom of slaves due to the way they were being treated, women began to realize their own injustices. The 1848 Seneca Falls convention was one of the key early movements in the United States. The convention brought together over 300 people, advocating…

Women could make a considerable impact on the country if elected president. Our constitution states that all mankind is created equal. Everyone should be treated equally, so if a man can be president, so can a woman. Women can be leaders and make a difference, just like Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, and Mother Theresa. Susan B. Anthony was born in Adams, Massachusetts on February 15, 1820. She developed a sense of justice and moral zeal early in her life. She became active in temperance after…

“Waste: damaged, defective, or superfluous material produced by a manufacturing process…” (Merriam-Webster, Waste). Using this above definition, it is possible to break into the sub-branch known as electronic waste or E-waste. Due to the current large consumerism culture, many first world countries find themselves producing an unstable amount of E-waste from the constant “upgrading” or destruction of older electronics. Further in this paper, examples of how this waste is dealt with shall be…

group like ISIS do not recognize international law and or the Geneva Conventions. These two evil regimes do not have any allies, it is them against the world. The use of military drones would be completely justifiable and should be encouraged against these enemies of the free world. Now in a different case where if there are two major countries or two major alliances at war with each other who both recognize the Geneva Conventions and international law then I think that some kind of ban on…

the cost of being second place in the arms race is too great to contemplate. And so, the ultimate statement for this paper is not about what we wish would happen, but what should realistically be done about this system. Ultimately the Geneva Conventions and the USMCOJ both have guidelines that outline the use of any weapon…

1848. Abolitionism, the revolution to end slavery, was well underway. Among the abolitionist, were women who emphatically attended meetings and conventions to forward the cause; however, their contributions were often discredited as they were denied seating and voting rights (Lerner 4). This disenfranchisement was not exclusive to the antislavery conventions. Much of the “role of a woman” was non-existent in positions such as politics, medicine and education. Essentially, women were placed in a…

The Historic Seneca Falls Convention July 19th and 20th in 1848 will forever be in our history books as one of the most important conventions advocating for women 's rights. The Seneca Falls Convention was the very first of its kind in the United States. Hundreds of people, mostly women and a handful of men, attended the convention, which was organized by a group of women involved in the abolition and temperance movements. The main hosts of the event were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia…
