This information helps us understand the problem and her extensive knowledge on the problem. Florence gets into more detail torwards the 2nd paragraph about who exactly is the ‘breadwinner’ in America at that time. Kelley appears to pathos when she mentions, “the thousand little girls will be working…all the night through” (paragraph 3) because it’s crazy and emotional to hear that little girls will be working for 11-12 hours straight. Also, it can make people feel like they need to do something about it and they’ll join her cause. As she speaks, Kelley talks about the laws of New Jersey, Georgia, and Alabama and how some have restrictions on how long a child works and other don’t.
The fifteenth amendment (1870) of the U.S. Constitution states in section 1: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude”. However, many black Americans had their right to vote abridged and denied through poll taxes and frivolous literacy tests at their respective polling facilities. Voting rights for black Americans weren’t fully realized until ninety-five years later with the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. Miss Black and Gold of Xi Epsilon appreciates the history of our national program and seeks to involve herself with registering as many people as she can for the upcoming U.S. congressional races of 2014. She feels the rising issue of restrictive voting I.D.
Critical Evaluation Essay: Now We Can Begin Women fought for years for the right to be seen as an equal with men as well as working to change laws in America that would give them equal rights to men. Women campaigned for many years in order to push their ideas through to congress and to get the public to see what they were working so hard to gain. They would use words like inequality and inferior to catch the public’s attention. Eastman wrote in her article, “Now We Can Begin” about the struggles that women faced once women’s rights were passed under the 19th Amendment of the Constitution. Eastman makes it clear to her readers, that no matter the stance a woman takes on the women’s rights movement, a true feminist will always fight for what she believes in with courage and strength.
Using my own research i will discover whether the World War One had a positive effect on the role of women. After the immediate rise in female unemployment at the beginning of the war due to the ‘middle-classes wish to economise’ (first world war, accessed 07/01/09), the only option to replace the volunteers gone to front was to employ women in the jobs they had left behind. This was supported by all the major feminist groups, who suddenly ‘became avid patriots and organisers of the women in support of the war effort’ (war and gender, accessed 22/01/09). Overall women’s employment increased from ‘three million in 1914 to five million in 1918’ (Murphy, p373, 2000). For many of the women the war was ‘a genuinely liberating experience’ (first world war, accessed 07/01/09), and made the women feel useful as citizens.
Women like Emma Hart Willard who founded the Troy Female Seminary in New York which was the first endowed school for girls, helped empower women to see that there can be change. Women began speaking and lecturing in the 1830s on equality and right to vote. Sarah Grimke and Frances Wright advocated women's suffrage in an extensive series of lectures. Sarah Grimke spoke with a concise confidence responding to a newspaper, “All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from our necks, and permit us to stand upright on the ground which God has designed us to occupy.” (Chafe 25) “[Also Grimke wrote that] like blacks women were ‘accused of mental inferiority’ and were refused the opportunity for a decent education. Denied the basic rights of free speech and petition, they were also treated as creatures not able to care for themselves.” (Chafe 45) Oberlin College became the first coeducational college in
Kids are naturally happy beings and when that happiness is interrupted is difficult to bring it back, at least without any future harm. Circumstances like economy of the family or ignorance also play an important part in children’s life, many parents have to work various jobs, and during the entire day many kids are unattended and education and affection would not be the same as for a kid that expends play time and quality time with parents. I find play therapy very beneficial for kids, especially when play is natural for all kids, and even for adults to let that kid that we have inside is sometimes very beneficial as well. Being a future psychologist I find play therapy a setting for interventions. Knowing that play is also important for cognitive and developmental learning in kids, unfortunately at the moment more research is need it to make play therapy the “evidence play therapy”, is also sensitive because of the trauma engaged with kids and how therapists approach this.
Explain the impact that women made on America and their changing role after the Civil War. If their role did not change would this have changed the future of the nation? Ali Sterner APUSH – Period 4 Shaw January 28, 2011 In American History, women have not exactly had it easy. In colonial times, women were to do strictly house work and take care of the children. This changed after the Civil War, giving women their right to speak up and become more like men.
Brad Millington and Brian Wilson claim that although people of young ages, such as young teens around the age of 13, are capable of criticizing media content, they still buy into what is being sold to them. Research indicates that children are growing up with the assumption that certain products and brands define people’s identities and self-worth, and that happiness can be achieved through consumption (Hill, 354). Aiding this propaganda is television: TV is the most salient medium of spreading media content and advertising, according to Birgitte Tufte, which is easily accessible to children of any age. Television often becomes a daily routine rather “than a deliberate activity” (71), thus playing a central role in family life. The way TV is used determines how people behave in their everyday life (Tufte 71), making it an easy springboard for “marketers [to] sell lifestyles and sell-images attached with faux values” (Hill 350) which renders children more likely to fall victim to this consumerist, superficial society.
Social Class and Daily Lives of Children Class does make a difference in the lives and futures of American children. Here are the frantic families managing their children's hectic schedules of "leisure" activities; and here are families with plenty of time but little economic security. Middle-class parents, whether black or white, involve in a process of "concentrated cultivation" designed to draw out children's talents and skills, while working-class and poor families rely on "the accomplishment of natural growth," in which a child's development reveals spontaneously, as long as basic comfort, food, and shelter are provided. Each of these methods to parenting brings its own benefits and its own drawbacks. The article states that, “middle class children, both African- American and white, lead structured, hectic and organized lives that involve tremendous labor and planning on the part of the parents.
According to Karen Stephens, author of “Imaginitve Play in Childhood: Required for Reaching Full Potential”, children need a lot of unstructured play time in order to become fully achieving adults. According to the article, “children’s self-initiated play nurtures overall development, not just cognitive development (such as learning to name colors, numbers, or shapes)”. The need for children to have space to play and the fact that children learn from this play seems to be an important point in the argument that boredom is good for children, as it is not the boredom that is good for
