The colors she chose to wear were dark, not pastels, her voice was not soothing enough, and she was a leader in a male dominated profession and courtroom. It is a wonder how anyone could survive such treatment from so many different sources, but Flicker (2013) asserted that, “Women in professional positions are often judged not only by their professional achievements but also on the basis of their physical attributes, as well as their … voice ... and wardrobe”. After reading the article,
He continues by explaining how the media and the internet have become the main sources for information because of how easily someone can find the information they want, but at the same time, it is affecting many peoples’ ability to concentrate when reading longer books. He further proves this by mentioning how even some experts in literature have changed because of technology. Those experts have explained that they usually end up skimming more than reading thoroughly when it comes to longer pieces of writing. Studies were also mentioned about how people jump from different websites and links and usually have a harder time when focusing on one piece of writing because of this. He ends that point by considering

Either it being self defense, economic gain or for a political movement, War is influenced by many factors that lead to catastrophic results. Both the Gulf and Vietnam wars are explained by the article, “Military Multiculturalism in the Gulf War and After” and short story “The Things They Carried” that signify the blind eye displayed by humans during these wars. What allows Humans to process traumatic events is to turn the other way around and fill their minds with joyful moments in their life. A couple of ways are displayed in both the short story and article are the soldiers letting their mind escape and thinking about the things they brought with them from home and the public accepting the medias filtered perspective of war by supporting
The woman had only recently made the decision to stay with that gender completely. As the friend shared pictures of herself with Wilchins, Wilchins noticed how keenly her friend was analyzing her reactions with each different picture. This seemed to shock Wilchins as she herself is quoted saying “Which is to say that I do not, at first blush, inspire confidence as the best possible judge of such matters. I could not care less how either of us is read by nontranssexuals” (Wilchins). I believe this to be a powerful statement as she states although she does not care about how she is read, the effects of social inspection are often great.
Women would usually attribute discrimination to personnel or particular departments but did not view it as an institutional and systemic issue. Rose (2005) states, “ It is important to note that the emergence of political efforts to end sex discrimination emanated not from a large and organized women’s movement but from a small cadre of elites who had firsthand experiences with sex discrimination,” (p. 161). With several testimonies and investigations of sex discrimination in education initiated by this small cadre of elites, political and public awareness of the issue became more prominent. With the passage of Title IX, girls and women were treated not just more equally in higher education, but in other areas as such as athletics, STEM, and pregnancy and
She encourages the members of her audience to be a mentor to someone who is different from them, and who does not have the same opportunities as them (Abdel-Magied, 9:56). Everyone has the tendency to gravitate towards those similar as themselves, she acknowledges (Abdel-Magied, 10:00). But by finding someone with a completely different background than you, you can create opportunities for them that were not there before. Many times we don’t even realize that others lack the opportunities that we have (Abdel-Magied, 10:35-10:45). By making the decision to look beyond your own bias and reach out to someone, you have the potential to create more opportunities for people, and in doing so you are helping the world by creating equal
She not only acknowledges counterarguments, but states that her explanations should not be necessary by pointing out the double standard between men and women. Her inspiring tone along with the aforementioned combine to strengthen and
In General Prologue he represents student who studied philosophy at Oxford University. This sincere student loves learning and for him education is a crucial aspect of his life. This clerk is very poor and he hardly feeds himself because all money that he borrows from his friends, he spends on books and learning. This student tends to get a lot of knowledge rather than chasing wealth. He prefers books of Aristotle’s philosophy to rich clothes and fiddle.
She subtly interjects a commentary on the absence of sufficient historical research concerning the role women played in shaping our society, past and
He supports this argument by citing a study conducted by students who have attended The University College London. The study proved to us that we no longer thoroughly read material, rather we just skim over most of what we read. From the convoluted works of the late 19th century, to the material of present day, the way we write and comprehend
