Melissa Sheryl A. Malano English 1127 Instructor: Davis, J. Argumentative Rhetorical Essay “There are no such thing as nuisance bears, but rather nuisance people”; a quote from Skye Lantinga’s argumentative essay titled, “Spring Bear Hunt”. The essay centers on the effects of Ontario’s government’s decision to ban spring bear hunts. Lantinga states that though numerous organizations and outfitters, who rely on the hunt for financial income, are opposed to the ban, the decision is nevertheless ecological and economical. However, “Spring Bear Hunt” is an ineffective argumentative essay due to its unorganization in structure, unconvincing methods of handling the opposition and underdeveloped ideas supporting the argument. The first reason as to why the essay is ineffective is due to its unorganized structure.
They also believe that the ideas about gender are culturally constructed and transmitted through socialisation. For example, the mother is supposed to look after the children rather than go to work. Oakley criticises Parson’s assumption of gender roles being based on biological differences by arguing that men and women are equally capable of performing both roles within society yet this is prevented by the traditional gender roles. Liberal feminists make a fair point by stating that gender roles are not ingrained as they show to an extent that roles are not determined. However Liberal feminists are criticised by Radical and Marxist feminists as they argue that Liberal feminists fail to recognise the underlying causes of women’s subordination and that is naïve to believe that changes in the law or attitudes will be enough to bring equality between men and women.
Moreover, she discusses the Koran (an ancient Islam text) and how it teaches that no one should be judged buy their looks, gender, money or privilege but by an individuals character. As equally important, the Koran also teaches the Muslim people that all men and women are equal. Mustafa's culture plays a significant factor in her decision to wear the hijab, as does the freedom that the hijab from society's definition of beauty. She elaborates further by noting that it is impossible to meet the males expectations of beauty as this can lead to a poor self image. Mustafa further discussed the Western world's perceptions of the hijab means that the Muslim women
Activists feel that to this day, there should be no good reason why any living thing should be subjected to this cruel punishment and unwanted torture just for serving another being’s needs. Cruelty is a sensitive subject, especially when it involves helpless animals Although animal testing has been around for centuries, the ethical revival of realization on the moral status of animals began in the 1970’s. This problem was a few among many that had been quietly hidden for years until the 1970’s In 1986, a German law was passed and was known as the Animal Protection Act. This act forbade experimentation of tobacco products, washing powders, cosmetics, and the testing of weapons on animals. Soon after this law was passed in Germany, many countries started to adopt the law along with new.
Catharine MacKinnon: Sexuality Police or Freedom Fighter? In her book Feminism Unmodified, Catharine MacKinnon presents a solid view of her conception of feminism as well as quite a few examples of practices which serve to hinder our society from becoming more feminist; that is, women living not only equally as entitled as men, but on their own terms. The main practices and phenomena she outlines include sexual harassment, pornography and how each perpetuates the power play of domination and subordination within society. MacKinnon isn't your typical feminist vying for equal rights for women. She goes a few steps further in her quest for a society where domination isn't an issue and women can live on their own terms.
Buffalo was a traditional hunt for the aboriginals and the government basically made a game out of hunting them, so they all hunted to the point where the buffalo were close to going extinct and the aboriginals had nothing to hunt or eat. The aboriginal people started starving and the only way they could find help is if they made a deal with the government basically giving up their own rights for survival.The government partly banned the culture of the aboriginals. The aboriginals were thrown on reserves due to unfair deals and they were limited on what they could and couldn’t do. The government didn’t allow some traditional items and ceremonies such as the sun dance and the pow wow. When People were found with items that were banned, an enforcer that the government put on each reserve
To say it is, is simply looking into the topic to much. Every instance in which woman is in a position of power should not be correlated with the feminization of a male. It is more a fear of woman in the work force and possible taking jobs away from male workers, although, as Huyssen writes "the threat of technology successfully replaced the threat of woman." When robots were first introduced to the general public, they recieved warm welcomes because they were viewed as a way to
Wildlife should not be hunted all year round because the animals need time to regenerate their numbers, also if people hunt and fish during spawning or mating season they could risk killing the offspring. Also if too many animals are removed from the same part of the food chain it could cause another animal to loose its source of food, or a predator that keeps populations down. Animals have been a part in native tradition for centuries, they used animal skins to make clothes, and for other ceremonial purposes. Aboriginals should be able to hunt and fish; they should have more restrictions on the hunting and fishing. Hunting and fishing should not be allowed during mating seasons.
The question is rather rhetorical, I would alternatively beg the question Can a feminist be a Muslim? But, that I will return to in my conclusion. I do not intend on attempting in any manner in this essay to answer the question of the possibility of Islamic feminism. Rather, I attempt purely to inform my reader(s) on the single issue concerning Muslim women’s hijab (and the various perspectives of Muslim women on the hijab as well as the many misconceptions associated with the hijab) that has been so gravely misunderstood and the effect of which is merely multiplied by contemporary media globally. The most intelligent of our contemporaries have failed to speculate thoroughly issues pertaining to women in Islam that has led to a continuing fallacy between Islam and the rest of the world, the product of which are ominous schisms among east vs. west, us vs. them and civilized vs. uncivilized.
Since we haven’t reached that point, affirmative action for women is seen as more or less acceptable. However, these “sameness criteria” have nothing to do with authentic gender equality, and instead introduce an element of confusion when discussing this subject. Assuming that equality means sameness is inherently problematic since if you want men and women to make exactly the same career choices, family choices and lifestyles choices, then you are basically trying to fit individuals into your own preconceived notion of reality. A Better Definition Equality between the sexes simply means that men and women have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities. According to this definition we need to remove all legal discrimination as well as break down stereotypes that prevent people from leading the lives that they want.
