The audience probably felt confidence in continuing the struggle to assure every human being received the rights granted to them. For example, “We, in the democracies, believe in a kind of international respect and action which is reciprocal.” She also assures the people that, “ Freedom for our people is not only a right, but also a tool…they are tools with which we create a way of life, a way of life in which we can enjoy freedom.” Apparently, Roosevelt wanted her audience to think of all of the freedoms that are allowed to the democracies and the lack there of in those totalitarian states. She was effective in doing this through the use of emotive language to reinforce the firm beliefs and hopes for freedom held by France and the other nations present. In the artifact “The Struggle for Human Rights,” Roosevelt used numerous examples to add support for her main claim and central arguments. Her main claim intended to persuade the audience that universal acceptance of the Declaration of Human Rights will assure all human beings are granted, without compromise, their fundamental human rights and freedoms.
Diana Martinez J. Ford English 575 25 June, 2014 Who she is as a person Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. So a question such as “who am I?” really gives the opportunity to differentiate and express who we really are and who we can be. She is not a complex adult who thinks the world is against her, nor is she an overly sophisticated “know- it- all” who does not take time to pay attention to her surroundings. She cannot say she is like every other adult; there are certain things that make her a unique individual. What she can say is that she is progressing to make a brighter future for herself.
AJP Taylor, for example, argues that the war ‘smoothed the way for democracy’ and so there are other factors of significance, such as, suffrage campaign groups (WSPU & NUWSS) and growing equality with men. Whilst this essay will recognise the importance of the view that WWI was significant to women receiving the vote, it intends to argue that AJP Taylor’s analysis is best supported by existing evidence and as such is the most accurate view. Paragraph 1: Isolated factor (WWI) In this paragraph, you should be showing balance but ultimately arguing that even though WWI played a role in women gaining the vote, it was NOT THE ONLY REASON. In 1914, when the First World War broke out, men were required to fight for King and country. This left a large void in the workforce and allowed women to secure employment in a range of industries; from making shells
written by Katha Pollitt,the obvious and underlying question is whether women are morally superior to men. More specifically, Katha Pollitt brings up the idea of "difference feminism” and asking if it really takes place. "Difference feminism is known as “a woman naturally being superior to men because of their empathy, nurturance, nonhierachial relationships, and concern for equal”(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/feminism). With "difference feminism the previous is true, rather than men being superier due to cultural and societal norms.It was very interesting to see Katha Pollit’s arguements as opposed to the other’s we read previously. I chose the quote above because it showed that women should not use their stereotypical strengths as an argument for equality.
I thought this to mean that Gilman was feminizing them while the women held the power to release them. Also when they were in confinement how they were allowed to exercise and Gilman says the older women would match or beat them at the exercises. Gilman gets this point across pretty clear that she thinks women are equal, if not better than males. In this utopian place, Gilman lays out a place and society that she believes is an ideal place to live. She creates a social structure that because it is all women believes that there is never any trouble and everyone gets along with one another.
Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.” (Lopez A5) It is evident that over the course of history, the plight of women has caused women of different circumstances and problems to be empowered and exert their full efforts to bring about necessary reforms and many times have they succeeded. With that said, women empowerment should be about more than just breaking the bounds of repression, but more than that, being truly free to be women who remain true to the authentic set of morals and standards they have set for themselves. It is important that women develop a sense of purpose within them and make use of their personal potential, not only for the benefit of themselves, but more importantly, for the betterment of society. That spark of purpose has to emerge and start with the self until it burns brighter to enlighten those around them; the potential of a woman has the power to be truly
A Black Woman’s Freedom “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” Do we live by this words or is it just a phrase on our Constitution? Mum Bett who by keeping still and minding things as a slave heard these words in a conversation in her masters house took these words to heart which resulted in her independence from slavery and made her a free woman. Mum Bett in an individual that was moved to obtain freedom not just for herself but for the concern of her sister as well. Slavery is one of this country's most debated topics. Slavery is a societal institution based on ownership, dominance, and exploitation of one human being by another and submission on the part of the person owned.
Thus, it is emphasized that every woman is entitled to the right to make such a decision on her own. Moreover, this term helps to pay attention to liberty of an individual, which in turn are some of the basic values of the American society. Just one word effectively emphasizes the main idea of the argument, as well as the entire article. Such an approach is extremely effective in communicating the author's message because the term “boss” is very meaningful in this context, but is extremely laconic. Also, figurative language is applied when determining the term “human life”.
Each of these treaties protected and promoted the rights of women in areas in which the Commission considered such rights to be particularly vulnerable. But it was believed that, except in those areas, women's rights were best protected and promoted by the general human rights treaties (www.un.org). This was a great day for the United Nations for the women they had finally got it out their that women's right and issues are a big deal and that the world needs to take notice. In the article I read about the UN taking notice is said in the article “EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE CLAIM THAT THE UN NOW TAKES SERIOUSLY women’s issues, gender equality, and the representation of women in all areas of society, including the UN and its leadership, appears to be rich and varied. In his annual report on the workings of the United Nations, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has repeatedly raised the issue of women, women’s equality, and the prevention of violence against women and girls, In 2009 the Convention on the
This shows that identity issues are not only plaguing far off countries like India, but in the very country many refer to as “the land of the free,” America. For example, women in America are expected to act like “the good girl,” the qualities of which include being heterosexual, submissive, religious, caring, and honest. Because females are constantly
