The beauty and the strength within the black female body is one that is quite unique. W.E.B DuBois stated in his book Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil‚ that “she [the black woman] had to fight like a tiger for the ownership and possession of her own person and… when she reached maturity‚ all the tender instincts of her womanhood were ruthlessly violated” (100).

Against Fraternities/Sororities As portrayed in the 1978 hit movie Animal House‚ college fraternities/sororities are a hotbed of excessive drinking‚ casual sex‚ vandalism‚ and generally licentious behavior.

Therefore‚ every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. My controversial issue that I chose was the Black Lives Matter movement and its major impact on our society.

INTRODUCTION Modesty is not only an ornament‚ but also a guard to virtue… Crimes against women be it female infanticide‚ child marriage‚ pedophilia‚ sexual harassment‚ dowry deaths‚ physical abuse‚ etc follow them as a constant scare from cradle to grave.

Compromising honor‚ decency‚ and faith to protect oneself was normal to most people in The Crucible. People knew they would die without sacrificing‚ so they took the easy way out by giving up their self image and confessing to a sin they never committed. The first to give in to a fake confession was Tituba‚ who happened to be Reverend Parris’ slave‚ so she didn’t have very many rights to begin with.

We can easily brainstorm numerous reasons for why it’s appropriate to maintain this procedure‚ it promotes the decency in people or at least‚ that is what we see. However‚ just because something is censored doesn’t mean it’s done for all the right reasons. Just as there are good consequences for censorship‚ we may see negative outcomes.
