Surely, gender is not the main factor to decide that who can do good job in military because women can be a good sodier in some duties. Besides, women should be allowed into combat because of the following reasons: women can do good at leadership position, increasing more jobs for women today and women can do some specific jobs that male can not complete. First of all, women can do good at leadership position. In the past decades, women did not allowed to join in high positions such as: CEO, boss, manager or they could not allowed to run for president because women are emotional. In addition, people thought that women are too sensitive when they face to problems so they often solve the problems by their heart than their mind.
As an Iraqi women living in El Nahra, in 1954 and having befriended an American woman such as Beeja, I would have learned a great deal about the customs of American women; however, I would still struggle with understanding the customs of the United States and the reasons why they do what they do. First off, Iraqi woman are hard-working, devoted wife’s and mothers, good cooks and housekeepers, quiet, obedient companions to their husband, and our reputation for fidelity is un-reproachable. American women do not care for their own mothers, can’t cook, can’t clean, are not obedient to their husbands, and are very provocative. They don’t even where the Abaya and an “uncovered women is an immoral women” (pg. 6).
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud puddles or gives me any best place (and raising herself to her full height and her voice to a pitch like rolling thunder, she asked) and aren’t I a woman?” In this passage, author Truth is suggesting that she had never been treated with the same respect a white woman would be treated with. Most, if not all men, believed that women shouldn’t have as many rights as men because “Christ wasn’t a woman”. She simply rebuked that phrase by asking where Christ came from. Well, he came from God and a woman of course!
In order to understand her anger one must understand her upbringing as she stated “I come from a country where there is no size for women’s clothes”. In many of the Arab countries that have Muslim women. The men do not choose their wife or women by what they wear, but rather how well that women is able to bare a son/child. In other words the shortness of a women’s dress should not determine a women’s beauty nor should the size, in the eyes of the author. Many of the people listed by the saleslady were and are professional models, whom are idealized by the general public.
Reform Jews have given women the opportunity and also an equal status and they participate in Jewish practice. Other forms of Judaism such as Orthodox still abide by the Talmud and are quite strict. Orthodox Jews do not like women mixing with men in the synagogue as they can be seen as distracting. On the other hand Reform Jews allows women to actually read from the Torah. Orthodox Jews believe that women play an important role in the home rearing children and being a wife.
Though some may disagree on this point, the fact is that legalized abortion is the only option that will protect the lives of American citizens. One only needs to look into American history to see the results of prohibiting abortions to women. The process of abortions has definitely come a long way. Even after abortion was legalized, women were still very afraid to go to the abortion facilities because they were afraid of being attached just for entering the building. It is better now that they have a place to go where abortions can be performed cleanly and with minimal risk.
Name: Tran Hoang Son ID: s3373169 Group: 2 Assessment 2 – Critical Response No Women In Combat In the article, “ No Women in Combat”, published in Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces 1992, Report to the President, November 15, Darren Graves(2008) states that women do not have enough conditions to serve in army although Women have claimed being just as tough as men that they could serve in army like other men. Darren Graves also said that women may have another spot in military but not combat situation. The author is fail on several points, he corrects to consider several important issues. The author claims that a woman is not a person, who had mentally tough enough to survive in combat situation.
Frances Clarke, in an overview titled “Women in the Revolutionary Era” agrees with this idea, while asserting “The American Revolution was not much of a revolution in the lives of women, at least in a political or legal sense. Much like other so-called dependent groups (servants, slaves, non-propertied men) women were generally understood to lack the independence required of republican citizens” (Clarke 1). Within the political realm too, androcentric principles dominated all standards. Former U.S. President John Adams is quoted to have said “As to your extraordinary code of laws, I cannot but laugh” in response to his wife’s recommendation to include women when framing the constitution (Martin 332). Adams continues his onslaught of anti-matriarchal values and sexism by upholding “his commitment to the social hierarchy…based on the belief that women along with other disenfranchised groups must remain subordinate because they lack the capacity for reason, and therefore, for the responsible use of liberty” (Martin 332).
This message should especially be thought about from the countries that don’t give opportunities to everyone based on the race or sex of that person. A recent example would be of the fourteen year old girl that fought for her opportunity of education that was only given to men in the country of Pakistan. This is an example of not only the U.S, but other countries that should listen to Washington’s messages that were said throughout his speech of “The American Standard”. There should be no racial discriminations. This is a message that was followed by law of the U.S, but is still not followed if circumstances are carefully viewed.
Not until the late twentieth century, have women even been a part of big business. Equality between sexes and race has been stressed and made law in the late nineteenth century, but even though laws have been made to protect woman from this discrimination, it still occurs frequently. In 1972, the United States Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendment Act. This act banned sexual discrimination in education programs which received federal funding. In the area of athletics, it required universities which received federal funding to provide equal athletic opportunities for men and women.
