Hi Vy, I like how you started your rhetorical analysis! Through your introduction I can get an understanding of how manipulative the media is, how it degrades women, and why the way women are portrayed is a big issue in America. I think it is effective that you mentioned how it is a big issue because it makes readers want to continue reading. I like that you said, “Moreover, in the film, “Only 34 women have ever served as governors. Yet comprise only 17% of Congress, women have not made gain in Congress since 1979.” This demonstrates that Newsom uses logical appeals to persuade her audience that there is an under-representation of women not only in popular culture (films and music), but also in congress. 17% out of 100% is a small number which…
Noble Cause corruption is a financial gain or personal gain, police officers have greater temptation to fall into corruption. Noble cause corruption is the idea that people will be unethical and obtain desirable goals by illegal means. People tend to become corrupted because they have a lack of morale and leadership, police officers have lost trust on the criminal justice system. As state by Kleinig, noble cause corruption can be the false conviction in order to secure the greater good of the public’s safety (Kleinig, 288).…
In 1867 most of the male population in Britain received the vote most historians agree that the beginning of the suffrage campaign was in 1832 when a woman asked a campaigner, while campaigning for the wider male, vote to include women. It was not until 1903 when Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Woman's Social and Political Union (WSPU). She founded this group having been a member of the Suffragists. She became frustrated with the Suffragists' tactics, especially their middle class and gradualist ideas. The motto of the Suffragettes was "Deeds, not Words" and this was reflected in everything they did. In this essay I will loom at weather the WSPU helped or hinders women’s quest to gain the vote in Britain.…
"Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation,” said by Abigail Adams, First Lady and advocate of women’s rights (Abigail Adams Quotes). In the past hundred years, women have accomplished more than anyone could imagine - from joining men in the work force to building multi-million dollar fashion industries.…
In forming a government for the people, by the people, and of the people, our Founding Fathers developed the idea a bi-cameral legislature. This Congress, composed of the House of Representatives and Senate, thus became known as the people's branch of government. American children are taught in schools that anyone can be elected to Congress, so long as they meet the qualifications of the Constitution. So long as you meet the age and residency requirements you are indeed qualified to be a candidate for Congress.…
Prior to 1921, men were the only members of the Canadian parliamentary system. With the first Canadian women being elected into the Canadian parliament in 1921, women have had the ability to participate and become elected into the House of Commons. Since then, Canadian women’s participation in the House of Commons has substantially increased from 1 female seat holder in 1921 to the present day 64 seats held by women. Although this increase is seemed as substantial, the debate about the underrepresentation of women in politics has been a central topic of debate by politicians, scholars and the general public in Canada. Although it is widely agreed that representation of women in the House of Commons needs to increase, there are two fundamentally different views regarding this underrepresentation; the explanatory perspective and the feminist perspective. The explanatory perspective argues that “political institutions should reflect the composition of civil society” , while the feminists perspective argues that, “since women offer unique perspectives, their exclusion from political power means that their needs, demands, and interests would currently not be echoed in the political arena.” However, through the assessment of the definition of democracy, and the evaluation of the feminist’s arguments and explanatory perspectives, the relatively low number of women elected to the House of Commons does not mean the Canadian political system is insufficiently democratic.…
Tamara Keith talk about women in congress and the reasons why they is under represented in conventional delegation. Today they are women in congress and it is the highest ever, but they only represent 19.4 percent of the total congress. In Texas they are only 3 congress women out of 35 congress delegates. The first woman to survey the House of Representatives was in 1917 and since 1991 it got tripled compared to the previous years. In 1992 female voter turnout was the highest and that year is called year of the women. But still the representation was so low that in 2011 women had their separate restrooms and by 2013 female senators got a bigger restrooms. Recent survey finds that women can equally represent higher political office as men. It…
In the 19th century it was expected for women and children to work as man. The nation’s crises constrained industrial wages and produced high levels of unemployment. Women and child factory worker chose to work 10 hours a day. The outcome was the Knights of Labor where practically anybody could work.…
Traditional gender roles have existed for many centuries. Throughout the history of humanity among various cultures and eras, there are pieces of evidence and traces of unfair treatment of women. Women have a role of a wife waiting for her husband to return from the war, a mother of the conquering hero or a great scientist, or a daughter who is destined to marry the prince of another country in order to consolidate the alliance between the two countries. Life of a woman was determined by the man, whether it be her father, husband or son. It is not surprising that such a position in society led women to fight. Starting with the suffragettes and finishing with the third wave, feminism has become an integral part of the society. Women opened…

Why do you think so few women and racial minorities have been elected to Congress? That is a question that can come with many different answers. In my opinion, I believe that there is a different reason between women and minorities for their lack of success in Congress. Both reasons involve the past, but in different ways.…
Extreme Measures is about ethics. How far is someone willing to go, and how much we are willing to sacrifice, in order to cure the world's setbacks. Utilitarianism is defined as the moral philosophy that says we should act in such ways as to make the greatest number of people as happy as possible. In the movie, Dr. Myrick acts as the utilitarian. He takes healthy homeless people with “no purpose” to live into his lab and performs experiments on them for research to help people who are not able to walk, to try and walk again. He thinks these homeless people will not be missed because they basically have no purpose in life. Although, Dr. Myrick's intentions are good, he isn't going about it the right way. He's taking people against their free will. For consequentialist it doesn't matter what kind of thing you do. What matters is that we maximize good results. This is what he's trying to do; he's testing out procedures on these homeless people. He feels that if he practices on people who won't be missed, maybe he can get away with it, and help the many people who cannot walk. Not only does Dr. Myrick try and convey this message to sway another person into being utilitarian, but uses his utilitarian mindset and gives hope to the paralyzed. With this moral thought process Dr. Myrick is not taking into account the choices of the homeless people. He also isn’t taking the worth of each of these human beings into account and justifies through excuses. These excuses involve him making a decision on behalf of the homeless on the worth of their life, and its purpose, and the happiness these people have. Whereas the British doctor uses more of a Kantian ethics system and points out what the doctor has not taken into account.…
When a candidate officially runs for Congress—whether it is for the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate—there is always a motivation as to why he or she would make a run for public office on a national level. But behind every political campaign, behind every vote, there is always an aspiration each member of Congress tries to aspire to every day in Washington, D.C. So as far as we know, there can be a list of estimated guesses as to why senators and congressmen/women vote the way they do that generally shape congressional behavior.…
The only thing worse for a woman than living an oppressed life is realizing that she has inadvertently conditioned her own daughter to follow in her footsteps. Mothers have been feeding their daughters the same fairytale for decades. They all speak of how difficult their lives have been, and how they want their child to live a better life than they did. They tell their daughters that if they marry a man with money, or one that lives in a place that’s “better for women,” things will be so much better, but there is no such place. A people can’t be oppressed without the promise of a better tomorrow. Women in America, as well as in other parts of the world have all been generationally brainwashed to promote their own mistreatment, and further empower…
Most women today are employed as pink-collar workers in clerical work, sales, and services; jobs intended just for females. Furthermore, many men do not support women’s attempt to gain economic equality because they believe this would threaten their superior status in the job market and at home. Regarding educational attainment, women’s role has been traditionally limited to the household, while men have always been figures in the public sphere. The emphasis on this tradition has impacted women greatly. Women compromise two thirds of illiterate persons worldwide. In regards to gender political representation, women have been far less visible than men in politics. Male dominance is associated with politics due to the aspects of power and authority. Women’s ultimate fight for the right to vote was at the beginning of the twentieth century, unfortunately we continue to fight and face opposition in the political…
