Comparative Critique:
Ways of Seeing by John Berger and There is no Unmarked Woman by Deborah Tannen Once upon a time, (I’d stay way from this… perhaps) a group of dodo birds inhabited an island in the Indian Ocean. The men (males—men refers to humans) were large and colorful with fearless attitudes(,) while the women (smaller females) were smaller and represented (wore comparatively—stay away from were and was, try to use unique descriptive verbs allowing for imagery) neutral colors (plumage). As the population grew smaller (dwindled), the number of females decreased more quickly than the males (deteriorated much faster than that of the males). The last female later died which (The death of the last female) left the population without the ability to mate and ultimately led to their extinction. Throughout written history men have expressed their dominance over women. It has been a battle of equality for centuries, and the outcomes are quite obvious. Men are stronger and leave women to manage the home life while women are constantly trying to please them. Society sees that men can choose the woman he sees most desirable and acts upon that display. (Be careful to revise and express that the outcomes you are relating are historical, traditional, and those of stereotypes. I would provide examples to illustrate an existing bias and divide in your present description you seem to be describing existing superiority. You need to clarify and exemplify! Don’t forget any other source you use for examples needs to be provided in the works cited! ) The interesting situation, exampled above, is what happens when (The unfortunate scenario detailed

    Peggy Seeger highlights perfectly in her 1970's folk song, "I'm Gonna Be an Engineer" the stereotypical gender roles discussed by Katha Pollitt in her essay, "Why Boys Don't Play With Dolls", as Pollitt states that despite studies showing that there are very minor differences found scientifically between male and female brains, there are very obvious differences in the likes, dislikes and behaviors of even very young boys versus very young girls. Pollitt further points to nurture and environment to account for those differences and this couldn't be more clearly and snidely said than it is by Peggy Seeger, "When I was a little girl I wished I was a boy. I tagged along behind the gang and wore my corduroys. Everybody said I only did it to annoy,…

    Maya Angelou once said, “Freedom is never free.” This is true because a person always has to pay some sort of price in order to be free, whether in a literal sense or not. In the book Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, Luke Garner is an illegal third child in a place where overpopulation forces the government to make unfair laws. Each family is allowed to have two children, so Luke envies his older brothers and cannot live his life the way he wants to. This is similar to in “Two Sisters, Two Americas,” by Brooke Ross, which tells the reader about an illegal immigrant named Veronica Saravia. Veronica came to the United States with her parents illegally when she was 4 years old. Her sister, Diana, was born in the United States. Diana…

    Due to gender difference the society places men and women in unequal positions. Men are considered superior and capable of being leaders while women are considered inferior to their male counterparts. Traditionally, it was assumed that women were incapable of reasoning but were endowed with the capability of nurturing the society. It was also believed that the position of women…

    Decisions are one of the most detrimental aspects of life. They range from what we do today to what we think of the newest trends. People always believe that their decisions are made at their own discretion, however, more often than not, the things we do are a result of the thoughts, actions, and ideas of the people around us. The effects of influence are everywhere, yet no one seems to notice. In the article “The Invisible Influence”, Jonah Berger discusses the positive and negative impacts it has on our lives. In the book Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card shows how easily children can be swayed by the environment they grow up in, which leads them to make skewed decisions, both good and bad. In both texts, the authors illustrate how the looming presence of influence drives many of our decisions in our daily lives.…

    Perhaps the first thought to mind when the name Sylvia Plath is mentioned is pure ironic tragedy. What a destructive death for a woman with a seemingly jubilant life. It is know to most that she was a poet and author beyond her time, beaming with creativity and writing poetry in her early teen years. However, with longing for fame struck the bittersweet reality of holding the title for the most unfortunate life. How can it be, that a woman struck by dire occurrences, leave such an incredible mark in the guest book of all great authors and poets? It seems to be true that many a melancholy poet, tend to be of the male gender; at least those who are greatly remembered and studied. So why is Plath one…

    Women are equal to men. Doesn't it balance out? Unfortunately in society, they aren't treated that way. One example of this is in the play 'Taming of the Shrew' as it displays women as the lesser sex, with male lead Petruchio placing a bet on his ability to 'tame' Katherine, a mean bat, but also his future wife.…

    Striking Worker

    • 387 Words

    Obrero en huelga, asesinado “Striking Worker Assassinated” by Manuel Alvarez Bravo is a representation of war through politics. He captures the image of reality of what people don’t want to grasp and accept. Bravo’s picture represents everyone in Mexico and throughout the world who had to fight for their rights during the time period in which the time photo was taken. Bravo was risky with his choice to take modest photos to show the truth of what was happening, promoting awareness. I think a lot of people would think it is immoral to capture dark moments including death that is so dramatic such as this photograph. I also agree believing that isn’t moral to capture the essence of a soulless body. Although Bravo had no intentions to demoralise but rather to make a statement about war some might not agree with his statement. It is hard for me to find a mutual ground on how I feel about photos similar to this one. For one, I find it disrespectful on a personal level to expose the worker in his condition of his death and allow it to become art. On the other hand I respect the artist for promoting awareness about the situation and allowing it to be recognized all over. I think making people and victims their subject in art and expression isn’t the right way to address what is really going on in the world. Especially those which travel the world in search of dark photos such as this to not make the political statement but simply for the money and recognition. Given this wasn’t Bravo’s intentions, but there are still those out there to do such things. If we look back at Mills Utilitarian’s outlook on pursuing happiness one might say that Bravo did not hurt anyone in promoting the awareness through his art assuming the worker either had no family member or that they had accepted Bravo’s intentions. In the end, I still find myself stuck in the middle of how I feel towards photography to create statements. In the end there is no beauty in art according to Tolstoy but rather…
