In her article “True Womanhood Revisited”, published in 2002, Mary Louise Roberts describes her reading experience with Barbara Welter’s paper “The Cult of True Womanhood, 1820–1860”, published in 1970s. At the first glance, Roberts seems to devalue Welter’s article by identifying its flaws and praising the advancement of the contemporary research. At the second glance, however, it becomes evident that Roberts is not as critically disposed to the paper: she re-reads it, explains some seeming flaws of the article and mentions that the modern research is literally based on “The Cult”. Taking all above-mentioned into consideration, the author of this paper believes that the value of Barbara Welter’s article still prevails over its faults.…

The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American History. It is estimated that 620,000 men died fighting for their respective sides(civilwar.org [1]). It is thought that nearly 50,000 civilians died during the course of the war (nps.gov [1]).It is a topic that is very well known, especially in the southern parts of the United States. Many people fought and died in this war because of the differing opinions of the southern and northern sections of the United States. Slavery was the most prominent of these differing opinions.…
Trying to fit in with society can be challenging, as it can be overwhelming trying to keep up with social norms. But after reading Peggy Reeves article on Hegemonic Masculinity, as a male in my early years of adulthood I can say it changed my perspective on how different males go through different social challenges and pressures just so they can feel accepted, resulting in different reactions and outcomes from teenagers. The article goes over many social concepts that we see in today’s world, the article describes the different traits people use to define a man’s masculinity. According to Peggy Reeves, Industrialized societies often view traits as “athleticism, courage, rationality, and heterosexuality as markers of an ideal manliness”. Reeves states that, “hegemonic masculinities are often used to construct gendered hierarchies in societies”.…
Women have a completely different view point then men. They aim to be accepted by others, they try to avoid conflict, and they tend to show that they understand what the other person is trying to say. For example, in chapter 6, Tannen begins to explain how in a comic, the two boys are fighting while a girl named Debbie is trying to be the peacemaker. She claims that she is looking for someone but the boys say that the person isn’t there. Even though she knows the person is there, she acts like she…
Tannen found that most men like to take control in a conversation and see it as a competition. They then try to “preserve their independence” anyway possible. Men talk about things that they think they have the most knowledge about such as sports, cars or women. Women are sensitive creatures and try to…
There are some distinct differences between how men and women use and understand communication. There are differences in how we approach, laugh, or relate to a conversation based on the genders of each party that may arise in some challenges. Understanding of how each gender interacts with certain topics makes…
Whether a male or a female, no one should ignores gender patterns. “Generalizing about groups of people makes many of us nervous. We like to think of ourselves as unique individuals, not representatives of stereotypes. But it is more dangerous to ignore patterns than to articulate them,” (Tannen 213). Men and women have the difference in the way they talk, even they live or work together. People like to think of ourselves as unique individuals, not representatives of stereotypes. In order to articulate these patterns, we have to focus on three aspects that cause people problem to ignore patterns of gender. They are differences in conversation goals, asking for direction and trouble talk.…
Tannen says these habits are formed from a very early age. She says she believes that systematic differences in childhood socialization make talk between men and women like cross-cultural communication, heir to all the attraction and pitfalls of that enticing but difficult enterprise (Tannen 101). She goes on to explain that kids typically play with children of their own gender and therefore develop sex-separate organizational structures and interactive norms. *** In the third section, Listening to Body Language, Tannen explains how men and women interpret body language differently and how this plays a big part in misunderstanding one another. When women are among other women, they usually make noises that suggest they are listening and encourage the talker to keep going. When they carry this habit into conversations with men, the men take these noises as interruptions and a sign that they are overreacting or impatient. Men are often silent listeners and tend to look around and face different directions while listening. Women interpret these habits as not listening or showing a lack of care. Also, when women talk to each other they tend to think that a conversationalists…
Civil rights and legal mobilization movements all start from a root. The root being a grievance in which a person’s fundamental rights are being compromised whether it be a right that is explicitly written in the constitution or an enumerated right. The Fundamental rights are rights that are recognized by the Supreme Court as being fair and legal. The fundamental rights are illustrated in the first amendment. As it reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”.…
She states there are many different aspects to how men and women communicate. Yet there seem to be an underlying consensus that men never want to feel they are at the bottom of the conversation. Women on the other hand don’t mind as long as there is “give and take” in the conversation. Deborah literates “The logic is that when you…
The fact that men and women are different in their communication styles is understandable. They differ in the way they think and it shows in the way they talk and communicate with each other. Though their communication is unlike each other, we do speak the same language –to each gender it just might have a different meaning, connotations or personal messages.…

Affirmative action is accused of being a racist system and this is based on the assumption that we live in a post-racial society, meaning racism is no longer an issue in the United States. If racism is no longer a problem, then why does the government need to pass a program that only benefits racial minority group and doesn’t exclude hard-working Americans from employment and educations? An issue on discussing about affirmative action is that racism is a problem in the past that as the nation progresses, the real effects of a racist system still have on people of color. When I hear people promoting the injustice of affirmative action on people with color, they failed to account for the very long history of racism that has elevated people. In 2015, there was a huge gap of distribution of wealth and education…
