No matter what she did, that little voice came creeping back, persistent and unsatisfied. Not enough (p.50).” I loved how the author addressed this issue of feeling insecure.

Rebecca Lee Crumpler is a woman that history knows little of other than her degree and the little she wrote about herself in the beginning of a book. What makes this woman so important to history, and so important to me, is that Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first African-American woman to earn an M.D. degree in the United States, and one of the first African Americans to write a book of medical advice. Crumpler, born in Delaware in 1831, was raised by her aunt in Pennsylvania. Crumpler’s aunt was a woman who spent much of her time caring for sick neighbors and friends. In the beginning of her book, A Book of Medical Discourses, she explained that being surrounded by the work of her aunt is what made her form a liking to relieving the suffering of others, which is what pushed her to go into medicine.

She was a poor, uneducated, colored female living in the 1950’s. Many medical professionals and scientists of the time believed that colored people were privileged to be receiving treatment; therefore, they should be allowed to extract, inject, and experiment on colored people in the name of science. The Tuskegee Syphilis experiment is a prime example of this sentiment. Additionally, many doctors did not believe it was important to justify themselves, because their poor, uneducated patients would not understand regardless. This sense of inferiority led to a lack of explanations from doctors and a lack of questions from patients.

Jackson's mom was defining a black woman's beauty with perception. He says to his mom "for her to remotely resemble anything beautiful is to bleach and straighten her hair", meaning that she did not consider black women beautiful unless they have a similar beauty as the Western standard. On a personal level I think it is true not only with black women but any other person of color. Women nowadays always want to outdo other women by trying to look better than them and don’t think about themselves and their true beauty. Women should be selfish in a positive way and try to better themselves only for a personal benefit and not care about what other people think about them or how their beauty is seen by others.

“According to the text “rationalism” is based on deductive logic reasoning from the general to particular or applying theory to a particular case; however, “empiricism” is based on inductive logic reasoning from particular to general or moving from specific facts to theory” (Bohm & Vogel, 2011, p. 14). I believe people who commit crime consider the consequences of their actions; however, I think they base it on the punishment rendered, or they just don’t care. Crime is not the result of a criminal personality; nevertheless, it’s a poorly integrated psyche because in my opinion people are not born criminals. People are of freewill and responsible for the actions. The Enlightenment thinkers believe that human behaviors were considered to be motived

Talking about skin aging is a sensitive topic these days as no one would like to actually picture the whole process of their skin losing that youthful appeal after a few years. However, it is essential to know that our skin is like any other part of our body. To be more scientific, skin is the largest organ of the human body. This organ is the first layer which serves as the line of defense and prevents the entry of harmful microbes as well as harmful particles. Apart from this, the body temperature is regulated and the moisture content in the body is also regulated to a certain extent by the skin.
