They do not know how much pain and sorrow this can bring to a girl's life. To deal with this situation you can't make sexting illegal for underaged kids. A whole bunch of innocent kids would go to jail where they do not belong, just for making a foolish mistake. If they were charged for this they would have child pornograhphy on their record and be a registered sex offender before they even turn eighteen. There are other ways of dealing with this situation then charging these kids with this. Showing these kids how devastating it can be could bring down the amount of sexts people send out. Kids that post pictures of the girls they tricked into sending the picture should be punished but not by the law. There should be fines and community service that comes with this. There should also be a course these kids must take that explains to them how damaging sexting can be. Explaining how someone can take their life because of this. As being an immature kid, they do not think of the consequences that come with it. There should be two warnings that should be given to the children that make this mistake. The third time around, the children have not learned their lesson yet and should be punished by the juvenile law. By spending a couple weeks in jail and put on their record.

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).

The article Boys on the Side by Hanna Rosin discusses the “hookup” culture that has largely replaced dating. Young women are behaving like frat boys, and no one is guarding the virtues of honor, chivalry, and everlasting love (Rosin 38). Girl land a book by Caitlin Flanagan discusses sexual culture and how in earlier times, fathers protect their daughter’s innocence and girls understood their roles to also protect themselves. The central argument is that women have effectively been duped by a sexual revolution that persuaded them to trade away the protections of and from young men (Rosin 38).

D in political science from Harvard University. Fukuyama puts the idea of Human Dignity to light and the idea of Factor X.

Many critics agree on one fact about Canadian author Alice Munro: one of her most notable qualities in regards to her work is the distinct use of realism in her writing. Her writing provides a strong sense of familiarity to the reader, while also containing stronger metaphorical meanings that one can note when they begin to closely look at her work. Her short story “Boys and Girls” portrays the socialization of a young girl, once very close to her father and unaware of any sort of gender bias within her society, into a young woman with a pessimistic view of femininity and her expected position in society. This story shows the socialization process in a way that makes it easy to recognize, illustrating circumstances that the reader can notice the blatant sexism and misogyny; however, its portrayal is extremely realistic, allowing the reader to recall how oblivious they may have been in the past during times that they have been impacted by social biases in our world. Critics of Munro typically agree on her overall theme of femininity and coming of age in her writings; “Boys and Girls” emphasizes the ways in which young girls are socialized into a seemingly natural understanding of the sexist expectations and gender roles.
