When defining what the political actually is you must first be able to understand what the relevant extremes are that actually define the political. Through Schmitt’s words, “the specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy” (Schmitt, p. 26). When you are making friends and enemies through certain actions, then you are actively participating in the political. “The political enemy need not be morally evil or aesthetically ugly; he need not appear as an economic competitor, and it may even be advantageous to engage with him in business transactions. But he is, nevertheless, the other…so that in the extreme case conflicts with him are possible” (Schmitt, p. 27).

One of the authors’ major contentions was the sex differentiations and restrictions people had. For example, when John Winthrop was reelected on October 1636, he found out about Anne’s meetings at her house towards the topic of Familism and sponsored a court order forbidding anyone to entertain strangers for more than three weeks, pointing it mainly to new immigrants from England who had similar view points with Anne. They expected everyone to follow the same religion and not have anyone rebel towards that nor influence others. Many women, along with Anne were persecuted and fined for speaking their opinions and being female just gave Winthrop and other male colonists more ambition to persecute them. 3-Conclusion A major strength about this article is the amount of detail it has for each of the story lines about Anne Hutchinson and her journey since she was little.
Abstract Betty Dukes was a Wal-Mart employee that filed a class-action lawsuit against Wal-Mart. She and five other women felt Wal-Mart had discriminated against them as women after they were subject to retaliation and witnessed unfair pay and promotion practices. Not only did they feel the individual stores discriminated against them, but that this was part of a larger corporate culture the Wal-Mart Corporation had promoted. Dukes and plaintiffs claimed women between 1996 and 2001 working for Wal-Mart had been subject to these sexual discriminatory practices and were entitled to justice. Wal-Mart argued it had a strict anti-discriminatory policy and that Wal-Mart Corporation as a whole should not be held accountable for a few bad choices made by a few managers in a few stores.

The Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers, as well as Boston police officers, filed suit claiming the test, which uses hair follicles to hunt for traces of cocaine, resulted in false positives and was abandoned by the federal government over concerns about its quality. Six of the officers have been hired back, and given lost pay, after the Massachusetts Civil Service Commission also threw out the hair test last year. But all of the officers are seeking further damages and the jobs back for the others. The test, their union claims, singled them out unfairly. The United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit overturned a 2012 ruling by district court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr.
