536 Words3 Pages

The beginning of Chapter 11 was about whether or not women think differently about ethics. Old ideas by Aristotle stressed that, "...women are not as rational as men, and so they are naturally ruled by men." This type of reasoning "...has traditionally been used to justify discrimination against women." During the 1960s and the 1970s, there were women's movement that denied that men and women differ psychologically. Additionally, in modern society, "...most feminists believe that women do think differently than men." They believe this thinking doesn't make them inferior to men, but actually lets them recognize things that go unnoticed in "male-dominated" areas.

    Both “Affirmative Action for Dummies” by Tim Wise and “Affirmative Action: Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education” made me think about how over the years, affirmative action has evolved from the civil war era to the twentieth century to now.

I also agree with the fact that both terms have historical impacted history in two separate ways. Historical events such as Plessy vs Ferguson case and the addition of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments challenged many
