Birth Control The key issues addressed in Sanger’s speech focus on questioning whether knowledge of birth control would change the moral attitudes of people. She is challenging the audience to develop an opinion towards the benefits of enabling parents to limit the size of their families. She focuses on the existence of the moral side of the subject of birth control, where there seems to have been the most uncertainty and disagreement upon the issue at the time. This speech was intended to be delivered at the First American Birth Control Conference on November 13, 1921. It was actually delivered that year on November 18.
Breslin believes that a family needs to share one last name because, to her this symbolizes togetherness. Williamson, on the other hand, believes families do not need to share surnames and chooses to give her children her maiden name. I agree with Breslin because I think that people should follow the tradition, family unity, and history. When couples decided on starting a family, something they will need to consider is if they would like to follow the tradition of taking the male’s last name to be their family surname.

Her choice was never based on how school made her feel but on how she felt. Having a baby had always been a dream of hers. “Holding your baby for the first time is an indescribable feeling that you wouldn’t change for the world”, this was her response to me when I asked her if she regretted becoming a young mom and not continuing in her
Perrault 1 Hayley Perrault Ms. Washington IB/AP Lang & Comp 5 December 2013 Queen Elizabeth-“The People’s Queen” The Virgin Queen, more commonly known as Queen Elizabeth, was well known for caring about her people and her kingdom. She was not thought of as a queen but instead of as a King since she did not act like a little old woman. Queen Elizabeth boosts the morale of her troops by using a confident and humanizing tone and showing her love for her people and country. Throughout her speech, Queen Elizabeth humanizes herself to her troops so they can better relate to her. She utilizes the word “my” quite a bit in her speech.
Motherhood and marriage is seen to be a key factor in the society of which The Bell Jar is set ,and is portrayed as one of the things that supresses female identity when Esther is asked to be “Mrs Buddy Willard” as if she is owned by Buddy and not her own person. Even though Top Girls is set in 1980’s England while Margret Thatcher is Prime Minister, it shows direct correlations to the ideas shown in The Bell Jar. Just as the bell jar itself portrays motherhood and marriage to be a hindrance to Careers In the form of Dodo Conway, Top Girls protagonist Marlene symbolises the other option women have in the choice between a career and a family.

Michael is happy that Josie called him to the school to help her because it shows that she accepts him in her life. 18.

When Da-Duh’s granddaughter talks about the tall buildings, she brings up a postcard. Da-Duh’s granddaughter asked Da-Duh if she wanted her to send a postcard with a picture of the tall skyscrapers. That postcard could have been a slight step towards living in the moment but her life in Barbados restricted her from the step because she was internally attached to Barbados and could not let go. Da-Duh has lived in Barbados her entire life, and change in her attitude would have made little to no difference now because her culture has become her life. In the end though, Da-Duh did ask for the postcard.
She not only had to be wary of subjects and advisors but family as well, which she learned from the stories of family members that were killed by relatives so they could seize the throne (Schiff 1). This information would come in handy and even lifesaving. She was also extremely well-educated, unlike many other women of her time.

The Cleopatra modern media presents, such as Elizabeth Taylor’s portrayal, this information is never implied or revealed about Cleopatra, she simply would not be seen doing such a thing.
Women werent able to vote until the 19th Amendmant was passed in 1920, so its something that we really take for granted. The Leauge of Women Voters aims to be strictly nonpartisan; neither supporting nor opposing candidates for office at any level of government. This is something they stayed true to, as well as something that I really respect. We are constently being pushed in a certain political direction. We get it from our teachers, our family, and sometimes even our friends.
