Tannen says that a “breakdown of a sense of community is partially to blame for the argument culture” (Tannen chap. 23). This shows how Tannen really wants our culture to get better for the benefit for all. She’s just not writing for fun, she’s serious with persuaded her readers. The problem now, is that people feel too much of themselves.
They do not see how women serving their country will effect the battlefield in the most excellent ways. Women should be allowed to serve in combat because it benefits the country, abundantly too. Additionally, people against the lifting of the ban are given a healthy whack in the head to wake up and smell the freedom.

When the Geneva Medical College received her application the school asked the students whether or not they should let a woman attend the college. The students though it was a practical joke, and agreed to let her in. When they realized she was serious, some of the students and people of Geneva, New York were upset. The students unanimously voted to allow her the opportunity to study without their interference. They held to their oath regardless of how she was treated by the people outside of the college.
They told her it was a fine idea, but impossible; it was too expensive, and such education was not available to women. Yet Blackwell reasoned that if the idea were a good one, there must be some way to do it, and she was attracted by the challenge. She convinced two physician friends to let her read medicine with them for a year, and applied to all the medical schools in New York and Philadelphia. She also applied to twelve more schools in the northeast states and was accepted by Geneva Medical College in western New York State in 1847. By persevering she was able to set a good example for women to
In the end, Riverbend’s blog is somewhat of an eye opener to those who were not fully aware not only of the actual situation in Iraq in terms of the war but, also about how the Iraqi people live.

The racial prejudice present at the time in 1930’s was as natural as the air we breathe. Many didn’t even believe subconsciously that they were doing it; they simply believed it as fair and just. Although Harper Lee never forces her opinion of the topic, she is able to simply portray the morality of the situation and enable the reader to question themselves about such issues through gaps and silences. A moment in the book that particularly sparks a time in the novel is when Atticus directly addresses the court room about the morality of what society actually does to the ‘black’ community.
Even though Malcolm was in jail he found the way to educate himself. Another example is “College” by Anzia Yezierska where she’s rejected from the students at the new college she was going to. At the end she decided that she didn’t care about others opinion and she succeeded at college. In the
She looked at me and said that she was the sponsor and the one in the Air Force. Her husband is in full time school as a student. I thought to myself why was this lady getting hasty about what I said? I didn’t mean it in any way nor was I thinking clearly. She understood and I have learned my lesson with stereotyping people to be something they aren’t.
