and all of the students would navigate throughout the seventy-year-old school building to find their appropriate classroom. Since the building was established almost a century ago and the school had limited funding, the small, private school had never been renovated. There were no elevators. The walls were made of plaster and some were so paper-thin you could here the neighboring classroom’s lesson plans. The flooring of the staircases were made of wood and hand railings were black painted metal that were cold to the touch.

Although some perspectives on the subject claim women live in bad faith and put themselves in situations to be defined as a body part, if there was no routine of male’s looking or the notion to dominate and females attention starvation or feelings to please, there would be no need for a dominant and submissive relationship. Overall it seems woman will be in a constant battle overcoming their gender because it’s society and that’s just how it works. Whether it’s right or wrong, at the end of the day, if nothing drastic is done for change, then it is what it is and people will conform to
With the size of the system and only one director to control it all, certain issues may occur. The central issues are that decisions are being made without consulting with everyone within the system, as well as the lack of communication in between the top management and the staffs. The key players are Bill Ptacek who is the director, the line of staffs, the patrons, and the DAC. The King County Library System is in need of changes when Bill Ptacek came in to replace a retire director.

You can tell Esperanza had no self esteem because if she did she wouldn't care about what other people thought of her and she wouldn’t need/want friends. Since she had no self esteem she does care about what other people think of her and she does want friends desperately. Esperanza is also easy to bribe. Another way that this book is different is the language. In the house on mango street Esperanza and her friends speak properly compared to the way
Furthermore, these groups also had the potential of producing social activists. Unfortunately, although many women attended the C-R groups, they were unwilling to participate actively in the social movement to challenge the patriarchal society (Buechler 72-3). Through this discussion, Buechler raises the interesting point that a raised consciousness does not equate with a desire to transform society. Furthermore, the unwillingness of these women to participate in social activism illuminates the differences that divide women in their perceptions of feminism. For these women, their heightened consciousness that has enabled them to transform various aspects of their personal lives may be sufficient.
Despite the lack of responsibility, there are women who are not freemartins that, “did not forget their contraceptive precautions by the regulations,” (Huxley, 77). Women who are not free martins have the responsibility to take their contraceptives in order to not get pregnant but this is not quite a responsibility because they are trained and conditioned to do so. In this society, one is trained to do things a certain way and any other way is wrong so the responsibility there is has been already taught and instilled in the brain to the point that it isn’t a responsibility anymore. In this society there are still outcasts who find it is their responsibility to keep up appearances, such as when Bernard goes to Solidarity Service and, “ he heard nothing and, for him nobody was
Especially the last line when she says ' But respect is not defined the same way by everyone.' I agree 100% with her on this. I think this is true because Mrs. Jong doesn’t have respect for people who don’t "work-hard." Yet other people might disagree with that statement. I believe Respect is EARNED not GIVEN.
They could not wear anything too revealing like nothing above ankle length or anything that showed off their skin. But by wearing make up women would be a little freer to show how sexual they could or would be. This did not mean to wear globs of make up but just enough to get a potential mate’s attraction. The idea of make up has changed over time and it seems that the more a woman puts on the less attractive she is but if the women wears none she is seen to not care much about her appearance. There is a thin line women have to tread but we seem to be during it
Even though these women showcase a passing interest in sports with more feminine attributes, they still do not seek out further information about those specific sports (134). Surprisingly, these same women who do not follow women’s sports, complain or are displeased with the lack of coverage they receive. Professional women’s sports are not getting enough exposure, which hinders possible new fans from being interested. Therefore, if women’s sports were on television as much as men’s sports, more people, not just other women, would watch and support
