Seven Against Thebes

Dylan Thomas: “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”. We might very well be remembered. Teachers will explain our lives in front…

Power is the ability to control people in their words or actions. It is a necessary component in any society, without it, all pandemonium would break loose. There must be an established leader, consequently, when it is taken to an extreme, power can be iniquitous and can cause mass destruction. In the novel The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, the powerful abuse their power to take advantage of those who have none. One common theme among people in power is using rape to take advantage of the…

Sixty one percent of men and more than half of the women fully or partially blamed the woman in case of rape. In matrilineal Khasi society, it is surprising to note that women still blame their female counterparts for being raped. Provocative clothing, especially Western clothing, was the main reason cited for blame. Yet many female participants were wearing the kind of clothes that many conservative Indians elsewhere in India would describe as provocative. This was a seeming contradiction. The…

Explain how the experiment is reliable and or valid The total amounts of aggressive acts in Black Mirror are seven, Total Drama has eleven, and Galavant has twenty-four. Reliability refers to the consistency, testability, and dependability of the test meaning these results should always be the same (Hansen & Myers, 2012). Theses scores are reliable and valid if…

Introduction Certain identifiable socio-demographic characteristics place diverse groups at-risk of social and economic deprivation, alienation, marginalization, and oppression. Historically, the range of differences between gender and sex has positioned women at a significant disadvantage in the macro social environment. In today’s male-dominated world, women who experience traumatic events, such as domestic violence are likely to be at-risk of social and economic deprivation, alienation, and…

echo against the walls of the house. Porcelain dishes break as they are chucked across the kitchen floor, shattering into tiny shards of glass. Other furniture is hurdled across the house and mass chaos ensues. A child peers down from the stairs, her face streaked with tears as she witnesses her parents. This nightmare is the reality of many families who have been broken apart due to domestic abuse. Domestic abuse is a civil rights issue that should be taken seriously and taken action against.…

navigate their way through the process above, as well as any immigration related issues they might have. During their normal business hours, 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, advocates are also available to assist with filing protection orders against abuse or stalking…

Out of all the topics discussed and read so far in this course, I connect more with the domestic violence topic. Before taking the course I did not understand why someone, specifically a woman would want to stay with a physically abusive or mentally abusive partner. After reading Domestic Violence: Intersectionality and Culturally Competent edited Lettie L. Lockhart and Fran S. Danis I was enlightened and slightly informed. Once we went into depth in class I had a greater understanding and…

The first construct that I will need a measure for is the amount of fear of sexual assault that women in refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps experience/feel. The survey measure for this construct should focus primarily on quantifying the amount of fear women feel. This likely takes form in how often a woman thinks about the fear of sexual assault or how often she changes her behaviors to avoid fear of being assaulted. In this measure, I would also like to include some questions…

Women should not be able to play football do to the fact the men are physically stronger and bigger. Women are are not built the same way that men are. Their shoulders are not as broad, their muscles are not as big, and they are all around fragile compared to men. Women do not have the same characteristics that a man does. They are way smaller in many ways. First their shoulder are not as broad and as a football player, you really want big strong shoulders to hit people with. Without this…
