If a woman has conducted the same amount and level of training as any other man in the special forces, why should her potential be cut short simply because a woman has never fought on the front line before? The women eager to fight in battle are aware of the consequences and wish to be given the same opportunities as men but due to the conservative view of many, are being held back from serving Australia. Defence minister Stephen Smith has acknowledged this issue as “ too much of a cultural change for some to handle”, however he is in full backing of the shift to equal rights amongst men and women in combat. He then continues to say that “All roles on the frontline will be determined on the basis of merit, not on the basis of sex” So the real question is, who is holding this official change in history back? The government, due to statistics showing that on average more women around the world die in combat than men, believed to be caused
Name: Nguyen Khanh Nhat Student ID: S3343795 Group: 4 No women in combat Today, women are more respected in society than in the past. In the article “No women in combat” by Darren Graves in Union of Military Men, 2008 the author proposes the benefits of using men in combat and he gives the idea that women are not as strong as men both physically and mentally to fight in combat. This essay will critically respond to the article. First, the author gives the idea that women are not strong enough in mental health to survive in combat situation. In other word, the author means that the women are so coward to be suitable for battlefield.
The book is written for modern Americans, and modern Americans would find it in severe distaste to see a girl being blindly obedient to her father even when what he asks of her goes against her own wishes. Modern Americans want to see a strong female character that fights the norms to do what she wants. This is something that is highly valued in modern American culture. For instance, the suffragettes are highly respected historical figures because although it went against all cultural norms, they fought for what they believed in. Similarly, Birdy fights for what she believes in; the right to pick who she marries: I saw Shaggy Beard’s messengers in the yard, talking solemnly to each other.
Elaine also mentioned that army’s own surveys, 90 percent of enlisted women have said they oppose involuntary combat assignments on the same basis men. Elaine approaches that even if physical capabilities were objectively measured and equal, co-ed combat assignments would affect discipline and unit cohesion. I feel in combat that they need to train the women and men the same if they are going to be on the same team and that’s when equality should come in and train them as one. In my mother’s opinion she agrees with Elaine that women shouldn’t be in combat because of medical issues and that will slow the team down and that dogs can smell women when they are on their minstrel
Hitler realised he needed to increase the birth rate to fundamentally strengthen the Third Reich; with a larger population would come more strength, superiority and pre-eminence. Removing women from the job market also reduced the problem of male unemployment and when women weren’t working they carried out traditional female domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, bearing children and nurturing the family. They would have a natural and clean appearance with long hair, no make-up and long skirts, rarely would they ever smoke or drink. Hitler knew the power of German women as demonstrated by their earlier progression so he came up with policies to undermine their well earned pride and ultimately terminate any further progression to coerce women to stay at home and have children. Propaganda was an essential device used by the Nazis to enforce ideas of the
This was a huge thing back then because a majority of people did not listen to what women had to say because men were high ranked and more intelligent. Stanton and her group wanted to prove to not only the men but to everyone that womens rights were completely unfair and there needed to be a change. A genius idea came to her and she decided that she would go off of the Declaration of Independence which was written about how Great Britain tried running our country and how they completely took advantage of us. Instead of stating how Britain treated us wrong, she substituted women as the United States and put men in as Great Britain. What the womens Seneca Falls Declaration stated was how women could not own property once they married and how that was completely unfair.
Women wanted the same working rights as men, and they fought hard for it. Suffragettes stoped their campaign of violence and supported the government and its war effort in every way. The work done by women in the First World War was to be vital for Britain's war effort. Even though women gained the right to vote shortly after the war, its argued that the war wasn’t really the cause of giving women this right. After all, in countries such as New Zealand (1893), Australia (1901), Finland (1906) or Norway (1913) women got the vote before the war began, whereas others such as Denmark (1915), Iceland (1915), Holland (1917) or Sweden (1919) gave it to women during the war without being involved in it.
As a U.S citizen and tax payer, I believe the government should worry more about the welfare of our people and the way they live. Instead, it seems the only thing they are concerned about is, health care is costing them too much money, taxes need to be higher, and they want to dump more money into the war on terrorism, yet they still think they deserve a pay raise. The United States Military is a very respectable and honorable organization, that puts their lives on the line every day, and sacrifices the most beloved things in their life. Congress needs to save a little money, so why not stop paying our soldiers while they are fighting a war? Two weeks later, congress gets a raise, because they feel their jobs are more important than anyone else in this country.
Like discipline, leadership, perseverance, defence, and maturity. These aren't just boys and girls playing war with toy guys, these are men and women who are trained and take their job seriously. Yeah if they didn't I would think that they have no pride, but they do. Soldiers form special bonds with fellow soldier. It makes fighting in a war and knowing that you might die any day a little easier when youre
They also believe that they should get paid equal prize money because males and females are just the same but if they judge them regarded to racial, gender or otherwise it’s called discrimination. Evidence according to Nicol David who won the 2013 US open Squash and collect the same prize money as the men’s championship. Women should get the same pay, but only for the same sports, hours or sets. Other professional athletics disagree with the opinion that women deserve equal prize money because men are more talented than women, therefore the entertainment industry pays its performers based on level of talent and success. They also reflect that it do not seem fair at all if women get paid equal prize money because men perform at a far higher level than women do.
