In the above poster entitled, Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man, I'd Join the Navy. Be a Man and Do It. , the image of a youthful young woman was dressed up in a men’s Navy uniform stating that if she were a man, she would join the Navy.

The best form of knowledge is one that is relevant in all aspects of life. History is important not only because it offers insight on how life was in the past, but also allows us to better understand current situations. Since a young age, I found myself longing to be informed about the world around me. Thankfully, this urge was settled by local news broadcasts.

Kravchuk is the epitome of a pragmatist as shown by Plokhy, who’s policies could accurately be described as the essence of realpolitik. He was the chairman of the Ukrainian Soviet parliament when Ukraine declares independence, making him the de facto leader.

First and foremost Thomson states right off the bat for the sake of argument despite her disagreement with the premise, she is going to agree that yes a fetus is a person from the moment of conception (Thomson 48).

Ursula Le Guin defines Omelas as a utopia where the citizens’ lives are never wretched. Le Guin captures her readers’ attention by describing the city’s beauty with the colorful scenery, events featuring games and horse riding, and the everlasting happiness. She does a great job of leading her readers into thinking this could be the perfect society, but leaves us with the question of satisfaction.

This quote means that there must be a balance for the society to succeed.
