Robin Flores Professor Anderson English 103 25 October 2012 One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest One is to say, woman are portrayed inferior to men because they were never given a position of power, men see themselves superior than women, and are consider as sexual objects. The movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” shows the audience that women should stay in a patriarchy system. The female character Miss Ratchet, abused her power as a leader by being over dramatic on her job. The main character, McMurphy never agreed with Miss Ratchet on anything because he feels superior.

Third, Alvarez posits that military women are indispensable in the Iraq and Afghanistan because women can do as much as men do, or even more than men do for cultural reasons. Even though, women soldiers play important roles in the war, no one wants to elevate the status
Another theme Barker looks at is ‘Silence,’ which could link to her grandfather who refused to talk to her about his experiences in the war. And finally, the theme of emasculation is a strong theme throughout the novel, it is particularly interesting as the novel is written by a female author and from a woman’s perspective, but is mainly based around the experiences of men and their lives and any woman that do feature in the novel are usually inconsequential characters that do not understand Rivers or other characters. Silence is a symptom of ‘Shellshock.’ The term shell shock is a disorder found on the battlefield in soldiers who had been exposed to an exploding shell. The symptoms of shell shock were numerous and varied from soldier to soldier. Physical effects ranged from trembling, sweating, insomnia, diarrhoea, and minor twitches to paralysis, blindness, and muteness.

How can such a horrendous issue go unnoticed for so long and for the people that know it’s going on how do they live with themselves. The Department of Defense has statistics of how many people serving for the military are being sexually assaulted and statistics of how many aren’t reporting it and yet nothing is being changed. Women are fighting for are country and there facing more assault from their own country then from anything else. If the US Military can cover this up what else can they be hiding from us? As I researched for this paper I was surprised of how hard I had to look to find a good topic to write about.
Throughout the article, she references women and the culture of overwork, completely disregarding the men in society today that are “workaholics” in order to support their families. Because of her feminist beliefs, she takes a primary view of the issue as one the only effects women in this article. There are however a large number of men who become workaholics in order to support a family, where the woman chooses to stay home with the children for example. When Rebick states “women need to make overwork a major public policy issue,” she is being prejudice towards the male population that is also effected by overwork. She only references woman in her advice on how to overcome the issue, therefore leaving out a major demographic in the workforce.

Moping out of the airport trying to hide my face but everyone still stared. Nobody would understand. Military girlfriends have a bigger role than they get credit for. When committing to a relationship with a man in the forces, a commitment will also be made to yourself to a life in the military. Even though not signing in the technical sense, these military significant others are still going to be bound by certain rules and regulations that only apply to this kind of relationship (Crawford).
The Volunteer Army For One The military draft has always been and forever will be a hard sell to the American people. Namely because they wouldn’t want to fight in a war they could careless about.
