“Night” by Ellie Wiesel is a memoir of Ellie’s years during the Holocaust at the Nazi’s concentration camps. The book is his true story telling about the death of his friends and family,what he encountered, and how he started to lose faith in God. Ellie experienced many instances of dehumanization like when the Germans threw bread, and when he was cruelly punished. When the Front was moving closer to the camps, the Nazis moved Ellie and the others to Buchenwald. When they arrived, many Germans were watching the train while laughing and throwing bread.
In the book Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, many diseases present themselves and show the reader how they affect each character. Tuberculosis, leprosy, and many mental diseases take a toll on almost every character. One of the main characters, Stephen, suffers from tuberculosis and another main character, Sachi, suffers from leprosy. Along with leprosy, she suffers from depression and self-confidence issues. When one suffers from any outward image altering disease, suicide often offers itself as honorable or a way of freeing their family of the disease or other sins.
In “Girl Unprotected”, Sports writer and journalist Laura Robinson argues that if you examine the Judicial system, then you will find a strong bias against victims of hockey abuses with an emphasis against women. Throughout her essay, Robinson uses the case against Mike Danton and the NHL to emphasize the issues of gender inequality and the lack of recognition to the abuses in hockey. In her essay, Laura Robinson begins her argument by claiming that “women’s bodies were only allowed to be adjectives to describe men” (Robinson 326). By doing so, she suggests that women’s bodies are all that the men in hockey care about while their mind’s and talents are ignored and lack in value. To reinforce her thesis, Robinson also includes a quote from a
Book Paper: 37 Words I had the opportunity to read the book “37 Words: Title IX and Fifty Years of Fighting Sex Discrimination,” by Sherry Boschert. In this book, Boschert presents the story of women working in higher education in the 1960s and fighting for gender equity. These women realized that their frustrating experiences at work were not isolated incidents but rather part of a larger system of discrimination against women. Their activism led to the passing of Title IX in 1972, which prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in all schools receiving federal funding.
The memoir Night by elle wiesel was written in the year 1955 10 years after this happened to him. These chapters that I have read about are about his experience in multiple different camps one of them would be Auschwitz which was one of his better ones that he went to. He was in the camp Auschwitz for a little over three weeks where he got coffee in the morning and soup for lunch. But when he went to the original camp his mom and sisters were killed since they were women and children.
Break of Dawn Ellie Wiesel once said “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” In the book Night Ellie Wiesel explained his experience of World War II. From being at home with nothing to worry about, to being in Auschwitz. In Ellie’s novel Night a tragic theme is dehumanization. Throughout the novel examples of dehumanization occur when the Hungarian police transported them in cattle cars, when the German soldiers stripped them of their valuables, and they worked them worse than animals, more like machines.
Loin du 16 by Walter Salles & Daniela Thomas starts off with the antagonist waking up before the sun is risen. Within the first minute it’s clear this women’s living seemingly alone in community housing, presumably her main conflicts.

This scene focuses on her face and the reaction of the child, revealing how much she loves her child.
The men were told that they were ill and promised free care. Offered therapy on a golden platter, they became willing subjects”.(Ogunburg) One of the main ethical issues that was raised in this film and through this study was that the participants were not informed that they had syphilis and what syphilis was. “Deceiving people is unethical” (Babbes, Rubin, 2011, pg. 83) and throughout the study, the participants were being treated unethically because the researchers and the doctors deceived the men into thinking syphilis was treatable and not as serious as it really was by minimizing the impact syphilis had on their bodies. Due to lack of education and economic status the participants in this study were easy to influence.
They were not told about their diagnosis or given appropriate treatment, even after penicillin became widely available as an effective cure for syphilis. In our textbook, Health Care Ethics: Critical Issues for the 21st Century,
In this experiment, researchers took advantage of the lack of medical knowledge that existed within the public. In particular, the Public Health Service conducted the experiment on 600 African American men in order to record the natural history of syphilis. Although the researchers told the men that they were being treated for “bad blood”, which is a term encompassing several illnesses including syphilis, fatigue, and anemia, they did not receive the proper treatment needed to cure their ailments. Men were inclined to participate in the experiment because they received free meals, free medical exams, and burial insurance in turn. However, despite the men consenting to the experiment, there is no proof that verifies that the men were properly informed about the study and its purpose.
Nishka Maheshwary Jackie Reitzes Writing the Essay Section 50 28 April 2015 Exercise 5 Dear Adya, Recently, I have been reading a collection of essays by Ellen Willis that I have found to be quite intriguing. No More Nice Girls explores sex, gender, and feminism over a variety of essays, and displays a strong tension between how most feminists/activists believe action should be taken and what the author herself believes should be done regarding the issue. In each essay Willis confronts liberal and cultural feminism, and critiques the progress that has been made over time through her diction and witty questions, thus allowing the reader to see her true intentions of the argument. Willis strongly opposes the idea of cultural feminism,
