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.

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.
