It also shows that government acknowledges that abortion is a fundamental right for women and it’s their choice. It used to be that having an abortion could cause health problems for the mother. It is no longer this way. Abortion is a very simple procedure and is actually one of the most safe to undergo. “A 2012 study in Obstetrics & Gynecolog yfound a woman's risk of dying from having an abortion is 0.6 in 100,000, while the risk of dying from giving birth is around 14 times higher (8.8 in 100,000).” (E.G.
The ‘60s was a time of societal change on many fronts, from the feminist movement, to gay and civil rights issues. Sex was also lumped somewhere in there, during that time premarital sex wasn’t accepted the way it is today. The arrival of the pill played a tremendous role in granting women sexual liberation. Now women could choose to have sex without being married. By freeing themselves of traditional social roles, women were told to unleash their inner felines and put their bodies on full display.
So far the article is showing the dramatized versions of life, yes all of this is true, but that’s not all that it’s about. “Teen Mom” and “Promises I can keep” are very different in a sense. For example “Teen Mom’ shows teens who get pregnant accidentally, while teens from “Promises I can keep” got pregnant on purpose, they wanted babies from their significant others. The girls from “Teen Mom” didn’t want to have children, they wanted sex, and didn’t bother to think about the consequences. While the girls from “Promises I can keep” were used to taking care of babies, coming from such low income homes.
Society approves cloning with the proof that “It creates things nature could not create” (Glassman 14). Being able to clone cells and people is a helpful discovery, and having the ability to replace organs, body parts, and people is something that saves many lives. Society holds several fears in cloning. Cloning can be dangerous because “It can cause a mental and emotional reaction to the baby” (Glassman 13). Cloning babies can cause mental deformities.
With the rise of feminism, a new voice came who spoke for women’s liberation from the common “housewife” role, to an individual being of sexuality and free choice. Betty Friedan, the author of “The Feminine Mystique,” pushed for women to explore their sexuality and become more than just a household decoration. She believed women were bound to social norms which prevented them from exploring their full sexuality. She stated women lived in a society where “instead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.” (Friedan, 1963) As an encouraging voice for sexuality and independence, Friedan pushed the limits and helped spark women’s participation in the sexual
One thing that the writer did not focus on was that she did not put any insight from the other side of the story. I feel that there is a psychological aspect involved with people that want to get breast augmentation. The way our society has grown to see that it is a trend to get your boobs done along with other things that are a growing trend. Our society has moved toward this plastic surgery craze because of the increasingly amount of actors and of high celebrity icons showing up randomly one day with boobs from a size B to a size D. The birth of reality TV shows displaying how easy the procedure is and how normal boobs implants are. This was on TV programming time that was targeting times when kids were getting out of school, and on channels that children watch a lot.
The 1960s were very prominent for women and their rights. I began my timeline with the approval of the first oral contraceptive in the 1960s, which is commonly known by all as the birth control pill. This was a pivotal achievement in the rights of women in the case that they are able to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. Women weren’t respected by everyone during these times and with the approval of the birth control pill, women were able to control whether or not they wanted to get pregnant or not. I believe this paved the way for women’s rights in different aspects of their daily life which gave them the freedom to make more decisions for themselves.

Back in the nineteenth century having sex out of wedlock was taken very seriously whereas today it is not. Yes some still follow the traditional ways and frown upon premarital sex, it but for the most part the only thing that is really pressed into the minds of our youth is the use of protection. We cannot base our current laws on what people believed in the past because Things have drastically changed. Our circumstances are not what they were back in the nineteenth century. The right’s each of us has through the United States Constitution protects each woman and their right to choose, our advancement in technology has lowered the mortality rate of women who undergo abortion, and our values have changed.
In the article, “Controlling your reality” Paige Pfleger states “Reality television can also preserve old fashioned notions about sexual stereotyping. Women are encouraged to fulfill roles as “the slut” and are simultaneously devalued by doing so” sadly these are the types of stereotypes young girls and women grow up with (3). Little girls are told to act a certain way only for society to reject and humiliate them for it. In The Hunger Games Collins makes a point by sexually objectifying Glimmer, a career tribute, because she looks like the stereotype of sexy. In the novel Collins writes, “The girl tribute from District 1, looking provocative in a see-through gold gown…With that flowing blonde hair, emerald green eyes, her body tall and lush… she’s sexy all the way”(125).Collins makes it clear that society has a very specific image of what sexy should look like.
