... and men. It is true, that in the past, a woman's voice was often disregarded; she was denied certain rights, for some women fought. Elizabeth Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Blackwell were famous for their courage and persistence in bringing change. It is safe to say that most Americans now agree me n and women have vast talents and capabilities. A century ago women were concerned with issues, such as the right to own property and vote. Somewhere between then and now, feminist groups turned their agenda to issues that offended many Americans. They crossed the line of personal and moral decisions and m ...

... did not include consent, then it included force, or rape. There were no laws present in America at this time protecting female slaves against the sexual advances of their masters.1 Slave owners then had the opportunity to take advantage of their slaves without having to worry of prosecution. Without laws that would allow these enslaved women to resist, there is a presumption then that they were always willing to oblige to their master's requests for sex.2 This, of course, is not true. Not all slave women were so compelled to give into their owner's demands. For some slaves the only way they could resist the ...

... When half of the time the person who cheated ends up losing. Then they look bad because they lost even though they cheated. So, don't cheat, cheaters never win. Always play fair. When you play a game don't be rude to the other player(s). And don't be rude to your own teammates. If you play a game like basketball, don't be a ballhog and not pass the ball to anyone else. Share the ball and let the team win the game, don't win the game for the team. Just one person can't win the whole game by themself. It takes a whole team to win. Teamwork is what makes the team, and what gives you, and the rest of the te ...

... in the morning was tough, try it with no traffic signs or lights. Now here is another crazy example, imagine if students didn't have to go to school. Well, remember the kid in 8th grade always saying "I hate school", well I guess you'd never see him there. You're probably thinking that not all kids would stay home, and I agree but the majority of kids would stay home a lot because they didn't feel like going, probably causing them to miss a lot of important information. Causing them to fail. Finally, Think about a sporting event you compete in or participate. What would it be without rules? It wouldn't be an ...

... to have a high grade point average and test scores. Even if one has a good mind, trying to study in a gang-ridden neighborhood with constant gunfire isn't easy. With both parents working two jobs, there isn't any parental guidance. Whereas, the affluent, even if busy or working, have the means to insure that their children are supervised and well taken care of. The rich also have the luxury of affording special tutors to help their children while other children are on their own. For example, there are three students, one from a clean, upper-class community, another from a small, middle-class suburb and the other fr ...

... women engaging in an aggressive or even a “perspiring� sport was unthinkable. Throughout history women have been creating stepping stones to achieve parity in exposure in compensation that is provided in today’s male sports world. With the 1996 induction of the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) a substantial leap was overcome, and the precedence of women in sports was changed not only for the 90’s but forever. Only with the help of Title IX legislation and the persistence of women athletes to demand equality was such an accomplishment to be achieved. Although, women are making strives towar ...

... towards a more classical art during this tile. Many of these sculptures and artist looked at anchient Roman and Greek paintings to gather ideas from their works. Gietto was considered to be the father of renaissance painting. Many other painters soon then followed in his footsteps. Masiccio, Lenardo De Vinici, and Raphael were just a few of these painters whose works we admire today. Before the Italian Renassiance nude paintings were unheard of. Now with such great talent flourishing out of Florance, nude art works were accepted and common to see. Donatello was considered to be the father of sculpture using s ...

... of communism. This paper will reflect upon these two topics: the relationship of the individual and society, and the issue of violence, as each is portrayed in the manifesto. But, before we embark upon these topics, I think it is necessary to cite a brief biography of Marx to establish a baseline from which to view his ideas. Also, it is important to realize that in everything, humans view things from their own cultural perspective, thereby possibly distorting or misinterpreting a work or idea. Marx speaks of this saying, "Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of the conditions of your bourgeois production and bo ...

... In some malls across the country, such as Roosevelt Field, Long Island, they are trying to put curfew in effect. Teenagers and children under the age of 16 cannot be in the mall without a guardian over the age twenty-one after six o’clock. This idea is crazy to think of when you think of a mall on the weekend nights without the local teenagers hanging out and shopping. When I think of “mall, the first thing that comes to mind is teenagers cruising the mall for the perfect gear for the next party or such. This is the first step towards limiting freedom for minors. The next step would be to establis ...

... say that his mother didn't nag him much at all. This is because he simply does what he likes. I mean, who does the right thing when nobody cares if you don't? Now take myself, I have had more than my fare share of nagging in my time. How do you know? Well, everything I am was shaped by my mother. She is an epitome of understanding, a wealth of knowledge and of course I have inherited the other traits like beauty and genetic perfection. I know I certainly hate being nagged. If my mum gets on my nerves I'd say just about anything to shut her up sometimes. Have a look at Josephine in the novel "Looking for A ...
