In the years of this new century, the country has not had such a great chance to fix problems that we all face, except for now, as a result of the financial gift you have given. Through your generosity, I know that you will be able to give a helping hand to the people that will be affected by these reforms so that they may have a better quality of life. This winter of 1913 in the United States had made me think of all the people that need help and to have equal rights. Having equal rights and fixing the broken cracks of society is a very important responsibility to help those less fortunate than us, isn’t it Aunt Bessie? With the million dollars you have given to me, I will help others who do not have as good of an opportunity by distributing …show more content…

As Jane Adams says,”A woman's simplest duty is to keep her house clean and wholesome and to feed her children properly...If woman would fulfill her traditional responsibility...she must bring herself to use the ballot.”(Doc. C) As a woman takes to care for her children, she also cares about the well-being of them. Some issues that women would help support are healthcare and education, with them being the backbone of a good life for her children. Women who are standing up for the right to vote are being treated unfairly. People have said this unfair treatment is acceptable because of the law, but it is the law that can change to help support a woman’s need and change the normal political ways of this country. Enabling women to vote would allow a change in America and help make this country all the better, since women are more sensitive to the future of their …show more content…

After I have read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, I have really believed that it time for us to change how the meat, especially sausage, is made. Why is it that the meat we eat can be made with animals, even rats, running over it? I believe that more regulation should be put on the owners so that the meat is clean, without “...meat that had tumbled out on the floor...where the workers had tramped and spit..and thousands of rats would race about it.” (Doc. D) This is not a job that people would want to work at just because of the disgust. This industry has to be changed with stricter regulations that protect the workers and provide uncontaminated food to the

Thousands of women have screamed at the top of their lungs, clawed at the patriarchy, and tirelessly fought for their rights as citizens of the United States of America. From the beginning of mankind, women have been labeled as inferior to men not only physically, but mentally and intellectually as well. Only in 1920 did women gain the right to voice their opinions in government elections while wealthy white men received the expected right since the creation of the United States. A pioneer in women’s suffrage, Susan B. Anthony publicly spoke out against this hypocrisy in a time when women were only seen as child bearers and household keepers. Using the United State’s very own Constitution and Declaration as ammunition, Anthony wrote countless

The reasons given are illogical and conflicting with one another, therefore, Howe prompts you to choose one. The first reason as to why women should not be enfranchised: Women would not vote or would not leave the polls.

In the Declaration of Sentiments, Stanton addresses that men “withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men” (2). Her statement expresses that even the least intelligent men are still given the right to vote and ability to be involved in governmental processes, and yet women are unable, regardless of their intelligence. On the other hand, the Preamble and Protest points out that it is more important for Americans to focus on the “quality” of the vote, as opposed to increasing “quantity”, that being giving women voting rights (Committee of Brooklyn Women 1). Their argument adopts the idea that it is not necessary to have more people vote, but to make those who are voting more superior. However, this statement is feuded by Stanton’s idea of needing a voice because she believes women are not represented, making her dissatisfied with governmental actions.

“The only true woman was a pious, submissive wife and mother concerned exclusively with home and family.” This idea, called the “Cult of True Womanhood” by historians, led women to develop a new way of thinking about what it was to be a US citizen. In the first ever women 's rights convention in 1848, a group of women and men gathered to address the lack of women’s rights. They agreed that both men and women were created equal and should have the same alienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; meaning they should have the right to vote. In 1890, the idea that men and women are equal, and for that women should be able to vote was discarded, and a different option came up; women and men are different and that is the main reason

Fight for Your Rights Women’s rights to vote have remained a controversial issue for decades. In Is it a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote, written by Susan B.

Anthony, a woman who was arrested for illegally voting in the president election of 1872, in her “On Women's Right to Vote” speech, argues that women deserve to be treated as citizens of America and be able to vote and have all the rights that white males in America have.

The cries have been heard! After decades of demanding suffrage, women have been granted voting rights. Men across Canada are angered of this, for some reason. It’s like they think they are superior or something, which is wrong. If the Charter of rights and freedoms was published in this time, women wouldn’t have to protest, since section 3, Democratic Rights, states that everyone can vote, if a Canadian citizen.

For a very long time, the voting rights of the citizens have been a problem in the US. It started out with only men with land being able to vote, and then expanded to white men, and then to all men. However, women were never in the situation, they were disregarded and believed to not be worthy enough to have the same rights as men.
