  • Analysis Of Glenn Reynolds 'Article A War On College Men'

    587 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Glenn Reynolds’ article “A War on College Men” he is responding to Jared Polis’ idea of expelling all men who are accused of sexual assault on college campuses, believing it is better to get rid of all, even if two out of ten are actually guilty. It would flip one of the “longstanding traditions of American law,” which is the idea that letting ten guilty men free is better than imprisoning one innocent. According to Reynolds, this policy would be going against due process rights. Expulsion for sexual assault on a man’s record would create extreme difficulty with entering a new college or finding a job. Reynolds quotes Eugene Volokh’s ideas that Polis “doesn’t think the rights of the accused are very important at all” and that this

Friedman discusses the different ways that humans are considered to be equal, and then he declares three specific categories for human equality: equality before God, equality of opportunity and equality of outcome.

I really respect Friedman’s points about equality; however, there is something critical about equality which

  • An Analysis Of Wendell Berry's An Entrance To The Woods

    524 Words  | 3 Pages

    “An Entrance to the Woods” is an essay by Wendell Berry about the serenity and importance of nature in his life. In this essay, the author uses tone shifts from dark to light to convey his idea of finding rebirth and rejuvenation through nature. In the beginning of the essay, Berry has left civilization for the first time in a while, and finds himself missing human company and feeling “inexplicably sad” (671). This feeling of sadness is in part from the woods itself, and partly due to Berry leaving the hustle and bustle of normal life in the cities, and the violent change from constant noise to silence causes him to feel lonely in the woods. As a result of feeling alone in the woods, the tone of the essay is dark and brooding, as seen through Berry’s somber diction and mood, as seen on page 671: “And then a heavy feeling of melancholy and lonesomeness comes over me.

Michael Kimmel’s essay, “‘Bros Before Hos': The Guy Code” outlines the “rules” where men are expected to never show any emotions, be brave, act knowledgeable, be risk takers, be in control, act reliable, and be competitive, otherwise they would be showing weakness which is analogous to women.
