Women have been allowed to have many jobs but should they be allowed to go to war? According to Rebecca Zissou on the Women Warriors article‚ a publication that talks about women combatants. “they aren’t allowed to compete for a spot in the regiment because they are women”. This‚ of course‚ should be an issue when it comes down to these situations. The women should be treated the same way as a man. When it comes to these situations women are not treated equally as men‚ when that shouldn’t happen

I really enjoyed reading your discussion board on the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project helps a lot of our military vets when they come home after serving their country in the military. Because a lot of times some vets can come back and not have a strong support structure waiting for them when they arrive. The organization not only helps the wounded veterans when they return but also to the family. You bring up some very good concepts that are important to the organization such

Another form of oppression that was rampant throughout Half of a Yellow Sun‚ Half the Sky‚ and The Woman Warrior was the issue of classism. Sex slavery and other types of slavery that occurred in different parts of Asia are not only a matter of oppressing women and children because of what they could provide; their provisions to the industry or brothels never allowed for the possibility of upward social mobility. Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn (2010) noted that out of the two to three million

Persepolis thus far‚ I have first noticed that this story seems as if it will be a memoir that really shows just how a girl becomes an adult. In the woman warrior‚ it seemed as if the story was a bit more of an autobiographical account than Persepolis. The life that Marji had to deal with was filled with many tough times. Compared to the Woman Warrior‚ I believe that the situations Marji had to deal with helped her to be able to better describe just how she evolved emotionally. One of the themes that
