Women are undermined and scrutinized due to commodification of their physical appearance and traditional role they are proposed to lead. However where do these…
how they look and how they act in corporate and political America. Women are struck with different stereotypes in the work place on a daily basis. Rampell gives examples of real life experiences with people in politics such as Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin; both of them have been mocked for how they express their feelings too much or if they do not express much at all. Rampell also talks about an experience that she had where a man came up to her and told her she was “pretty, but not too…

Gender Stereotyping As you walk down the street you may not notice it but you may be stereotyping a person based on their appearance.

Being brought up in a society where you are brainwashed by television and what you see on the news you can 't help but to make strong judgement choices. Caitlin Jenner is the number one topic for breaking boundaries all over America. She has become a hero in…

America displays the array of choices that resulted in how the nation was shaped into the current powerhouse that it is today. But the one thing that makes America differ from other countries is the freedoms and liberties that many people come striving for. The one freedom that American and the many immigrates that come enjoy is the freedom to speak out on issues without having a consequence. This freedom…
all, beauty. The ideal young woman is supposed to be a perfect balance of ambition and carefulness, strength and submission, glamor and restraint, all wrapped in one shiny package. A woman who has achieved even a high level of success, such as Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton, are often as scrutinized on visual appeal as much as they are political policy.

Gun Control Every time we flip on the news we see a new story explaining a shooting in Chicago. Drive-by shootings are so common now in Chicago that we barely have time to explain one story without skipping to the next current one. To assume that we do not have a problem with guns in the Chicago/Illinois community is wrong. This is a nationwide problem as we have seen with mass shootings and the increasing numbers of deaths nationwide from gunshot wounds. Just this weekend as I began to write…
They knew how to use their sexual prowess. Women of this era were dramatically different than ones that later appeared in Washington. Hillary Clinton or Condeleeza Rice were more like their political male counterparts boring and persistent. Sarah Palin on the other hand was far from that.
