...“Is the Texas law requiring women to listen to a fetal heartbeat, before being allowed to have an abortion, an appropriate policy??” Let’s pretend you have been shot in the leg. You go to the hospital and to get treated for this emergency and obviously the doctor tells you that you have to have surgery in order to remove the bullet and clean the wound. This is typical when getting shot in the leg. As, they are preparing you for surgery the doctor requires you to have an x-ray done before you have surgery to see if you would like the bullet removed or not. After hearing this news, you probably are in shock that a law was passed to make you go through this to get a bullet removed that you voluntarily came in for the doctor to remove. This is how some women in America feel about the pending policy of the requirement to listen to a fetal heartbeat before receiving an abortion. While the opposing team, that agrees with the bill, seems to think different. They feel that they are “helping” the women considering an abortion by giving them a second thought on what they are about to do. In Texas and also in several other states, legislation is trying effortlessly to pass the bill for requiring women seeking an abortion to listen to a fetal heartbeat before receiving one. Many people call this bill the “War on Women”. (1) The “War on women” consists of many bills discouraging abortion which is mostly lead by the Republican Party. The “War on Women” is best described as a list...

...society. Because resources and power are distributed unequally in society, some members have more money, goods and prestige than others. The rich protects their positions by using the power they have accumulated to keep those less fortunate in their places. Throughout the semester we referred to this theory as the “Haves and the have not.” Theory. This theory is prevalent in each and everyone one of our lives, each one of us has had to struggle at some point of our life and had some type of challenge to overcome in order for us to seat in the seat we having been seating in every Tuesday night of this semester, most of us are in this class, this school, because we are the have not and are trying to better our future by getting a degree in a field that we love and feel will increase our social net-worth and change our social group and even move from being lower class to middle class. This same conflict that we face now days in trying to feel equal to the people in our lives that are the haves or seem to control our life, is similar to the conflict that the women in my book had to face. My book is more like a history book so it is not the story of one group of women but it is the stories of many women of various groups, everything that will be written are from chapters, and passages I found to have been interesting and needed to be shared.

...to the right he is accentuating his jawline and eyes, it seems like he is wearing lipstick. His face is flawless, and you can tell he is wearing powder. The picture to the left is very masculine while the one to the right is more feminine. The powerful gaze in Mapplethorpes eyes show dominance and attitude, pride. While the one on the right shows vulnerability, and you have to look at the chest to tell weather the person in the picture is male or female. He is sending the clear message of gender stereotypes, which is that men have to be strong and powerful, while women fragile and pretty. Pg.331 #1 The speaker is someone giving a girl instructions on what she needs to know and how she should act now that she is becoming a woman. I think the speaker cares for the girl and wishes to help the girl develop into a respectable woman, but feels that she must display authority in order to get the girl to listen. The speaker attempts to teach the girl by repeating details such as how to "set a table" in five different circumstances. Pg. 366 #2 In Bursons photography she purposely has the backdrop black so that the models faces can stand out. The hair of the models used fades into the backround, so you cant really tell if the person is male or female. I think that’s what she was striving for, one should not judge based on sexual orientation. In one picture, we only see half of the models face. She focuses on flaws, and imperfections, and the models gender is really ambiguous. The lighting...

...Exercising to“Perfection” Maurine Demetrius Going to the gym has become accepted by society and viewed as a norm . A majority of people in the U.S go to the gym everyday. Including myself, It is a great way to stay in shape and fit although when does excess exercising become to much?. The main reason Americans make exercising a part of their daily activity is to stay fit and some workout to define what society calls skinny or to have a "perfect" body. One can use their sociological imagination to see the dangers of over exercising and how social structure plays a role in the result of over exercising today. Sociologist C. Wright Mills writes "The sociological imagination enables it possessors to understand the largest historical scene in terms of its meaning for the inner life and external career of a variety of individuals." (Chap 1 pg. 2). C. Wright Mills presumes the sociological imagination was a helpful way for people to allay their suffering by looking at their problems as if they were not the only ones going through it. Rather, look at the situation through other peoples eyes. Think outside of the box and get a clearer understanding how our experiences and troubles are affected by social structures. Society is very judgmental which is why we try to be the best we can be. If we are overweight society tells us to go on a diet, if we are underweight society tells us to eat more, if we are average society might encourage you to become more...

...However, while watching an episode of Oprah one day, Erin’s life changed when she saw a woman named Truddi Chase tell her own horrific story of sexual abuse, and it had given her the confidence to confront one of her abusers. In 2010 Erin appeared on the "Oprah Show" herself and shared her story and how the late Truddi had given her the confidence to confront her fear. She said, “The abuse I went through changed me from a strong, resilient, confident child to a very angry, hate-filled, self-destructive child, teenager and young adult (1).” Erin ended up pushing the Illinois legislature to enact Erin's Law, a law that demands sexual abuse education for children. Forgiving her abusers has also allowed Erin to trust men again on a personal level. In...

...others? Who tell you what is good and bad for others, and why do you listen to these people? Anne Billson handles these questions in the short story Sunshine from 1993, through a 1st person narrator of the female main character, who is never named. She arrives to London, snotty and frustrated by “…a gaping void within me, waiting to be filled.” (p. 80 l. 30-31) Even tough she “…earned lots of money …” (p. 80 l. 28-29), something was missing and she felt “… I was going places, but never seemed to arrive.” (p. 80 l. 30) But suddenly the story’s pivotal point, Charlie, shows up and fills her gaping void with desire and knowledge about “…that, at last, I had found my other half.” (p 81 l. 10-11). To look in his eyes started an “…extraordinary wave of emotion…” (p. 81 l. 9) and she was saved as a new person. This is the explanation to the first part of the story, which is a scene from the tube in London where the main character plays the guitar to delight the passengers. It starts in media res, which captures the reader’s attention and clarify the story’s themes through the act. We wonder why she does this, and is left with unexplained information. This flows into an unfulfilled feeling in lack of coherence and we need to read on. Later we are explained Charlie’s functions as the leader of a harem, whose members he found “lost and alone” in the city of London. His explanation to why he only “saves” women from the pit of London and its lost souls, is that “…only women deserved...

...”The Man Who Hugged Women” Busy husbands and empty promises leaves desperate middle-aged women in need of affection. The fevered minds of western women find desperate solutions to get their affection; described in this text as hugs from a desirable father figure. Ethical questions about hugging with another man while married, and the “craziness” about this phenomenon are ‘discussed’ in this text. “The Man Who Hugged Women” is a text from 2012, written by British/Palestinian writer Mischa Hiller. Our main protagonist Freya is a middle-aged woman living in-or-around London - “…Freya and Pearl travelled on a cold bus to an address in North London”, since it is bus and not train/car does Freya probably live in London. She is married to a psychi-atrist with private practice; named Mukesh. Since their kitchen on p.1 l. 2, is de-scribed as large, and it is recently refurbished does it seem like Freya and Mukesh is a middle/upper class family. They have a child named Rita together, who is in uni-versity now. Freya assists, as a teacher’s assistant at the primary school where their daughter Rita had gone. She used the job to get rid of excess time and to give some-thing back to the school, even though she didn’t knew what. Freya doesn’t seem like an independent, strong woman in her decisions; she constanly thinks about what Mukesh will think, “ Did Mukesh like it?” “He’d pooh-pooh the whole idea of going to see this guy” etc. She didn’t ‘stand her ground’ on their daughters choice educa-tion...

... ”every 2 minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted and each year there are about 213,000 victims of sexual assault” ("How often does," 2009). As previously stated, 63% of completed rapes against females were not reported to the police. The reasons differ for every man or woman that has been faced with this situation, but what I see to be the most reoccurring reasons are personal reasons and those that include embarrassment, the fear of retaliation, and the thought that if they did report the crime they would have to endure the courts and police procedures. In other countries, a women who is raped can be exiled out of their family or to another extreme be killed (or become a victim of suicide) because they have dishonored their family by being raped. Salman Rushdie, a contributor to the NY Times, discussed in an article about honor rapes and the “shaming” of women that dishonors men. The reasons why a woman does not report being raped is vast, and this is the face of a victim’s turmoil in other countries and other...

...why a rapist becomes a rapist? What goes through their minds’ to make them want to harm children or other people? What kind of help can they get and can they ever be cured? People who become sexual molesters’, predators’’, and rapists’ usually have gone through some type of sexual abuse and/or have been raped as a child. From childhood to adulthood we will see how the abuse that one has went through during childhood and may/can affect them as through adulthood, causing them to become a sexual molester and rapist themselves. Molesting one’s own child/children and family members is called intra-famial. They normally don’t go outside the family because they think that they can persuade the child/children not to report them to the police. Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to children and they desire children, they usually work very close with kids like at the YMCA, schools, and church. Pedophiles’ normally don’t have children or families. They are sexually violent offenders are the perpetrators who are most violent. My hypothesis is the children who are molested or raped grow up to become molesters and rapists who keep the cycle going, rather than getting help. Children are the main victims in today’s society to molestation and rape, one reason being is that they are the easiest prey to prey on. Molestation and rape can happen anywhere and by anyone like schools, church, vacation, by the baby sitter, their fathers, uncles, cousins, grandparents, complete strangers, someone who they...

...controversial topic is getting many Americans riled up. I stand on the side of the fence that supports the repeal on the ban that’s prohibiting homosexuals from joining the armed forces. There can be many benefits if we let gays in our ranks. It was Damien’s response that reminded me how ignorant people can be. I immediately insisted for a good explanation for his remark, but he wasn’t able to produce one. “If I’m in a war zone, I want somebody watching my back for my protection. I don’t want them watching me out of sheer bliss.” That was the explanation he gave me as he walked away with the look of annoyance on his face. I wondered, was he annoyed because he realized he sounded like a buffoon, or maybe my facial expressions revealed my disgust towards him. Homosexuals are human beings, and I am a strong believer that they should have the right to defend our country as long as they meet physical and ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) requirements. There aren’t many people who are willing to put on our nation’s uniform especially when America is at war; it takes a special person to accept that responsibility. One of the biggest problems the military face is getting people to re-enlist for certain career fields. Since the DADT (Don’t Ask Don’t Tell) policy went into effect in 1993, more than 13,000 service members have been discharged to date (Zavis para 10). That average out to be around 794 members each year. The people who are discharged...
