Black Panther Party Argument Analysis

I decided to relate one of my experiences with the discussion we had about stereotypes. On many occasions I have been categorized as loud, ghetto, or aggressive because I am a black woman. At a young age I never knew why certain people thought this way I just considered it to be something that was normal. Once I got older I realized the way some people portrayed me to be was far from who I was. Therefore, every time I came across a person that categorized me as something I 'm not I made sure to correct them.

Women in the 1900’s worked with abolitionist to get their rights they deserved. Susan B. Anthony, a major women’s rights activist, contributed a role in this movement as well as Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Susan and Elizabeth both teamed up and created the National American Woman Suffrage Association.

She began to speak out on civil rights which caught many people's attention. "As the years passed she was sought out repeatedly as a dignified spokesperson for the civil rights movement"(Henderson 192). One of her famous quotes from her speeches was: "Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome"(women history). Rosa Parks started to be known as the female speaker of the civil rights movement.

Simpson portrays empowerment gender, identity, and culture in her images despite the oppression of racist culture impacts black women 's body and identity. Five-day forecast by Lorna Simpson incorporates five large boxes with days of the week Monday through Friday. It 's a way of expressing misconceptions as a black woman. In her image “five-day forecast” she has two words in each day such as; misdescription, misidentifies and mistranslate. When the audience sees this particular image they think of race and identity because Lorna has her arms crossed in each box but it happens to be so that as the days pass by her shirt starts getting wrinkled.

The name expanded and became a postmark label for black women that took care of everyone. Some have argued and said that it is almost impossible to create any type advertisement in the country without someone taking it into offence. One would think that considering the fact that those incidents

American Cinema has also opened up a new world for those, who were formally thought, to be behind a cooking stove or ironing board. American Cinema did more than just create jobs and movie stars for our leading ladies of our great nation. American Cinema let the nation see keys roles played by woman in the history of our country. The 1979 film, Norma Rae, helped put in perspective the involvement of women in our labor right movement and establishing unions for our workers.

“I would desire that you Remember the Ladies” (Mayo 16), the ladies who have paved a path for all women to follow. Much more than a spouse, first ladies harbor indefinite tasks - helping push America forward. Through time, all forty-four first ladies have defined their own roles - fitting them to their own personality, interests and expectations of the generation. The first lady is more than simply the president 's wife.

Throughout history, mothers have made countless sacrifices for their children, sacrifices that have sometimes cost the women their lives. Black women had to think about things that white women during this time period didn’t have to think about: the status of their children as a slave or as a free person. Because I had only read the slave experience from the story of a male, I was completely blind to the many and difficult sacrifices that women made for their children. I think that the only way a person can truly develop a detailed understanding of how slavery affected African Americans is by reading a story from a woman 's

Female role models especially in the Political Science field of study, encourage other women, older or younger, that women belong in government. These female role models, show other women in the public that they care about women’s issues, that they have fought the same fight, and have made it out on top. Also, they can encourage other women to be “go getters” in their daily lives, and fight for the “corner office”. In addition, there’s needs to be an equal representation of female role models from different ideologies, ethnicities, religions, or sexual orientations in government. This way, women all over the country can be represented, no matter if your a Democrat, Republican, or Independent; or are White, Hispanic, African American, Asian, or Native American; or practice Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, or no religion at all; or if you are straight, gay, bisexual, or asexual.

In the women 's suffrage movement the women used many different tactics to get their cause across to government. On tactic that they used was they organized a parade. The girls were smart in the timing of the parade. They that President Woodrow Wilson was getting inaugurated and that their would be a large crowd already in the area. With a large crowd it would be easier for the women to spread the word about how they should be able to vote.

Before beginning this research project, could anyone name a female, besides Rosa Parks, involved in the Civil Rights movement? Don’t worry, I couldn’t name anyone either. Rosa Parks made so many amazing contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. However, there are many women just like Rosa in the Civil Rights movement who go nearly unrecognized for the acts they took during this time. One example of a powerful and impactful woman during the Civil Rights movement is Dorothy Height.

During the 1st Wave of the Feminist Movement, that began in 1848, one of the biggest issues was attaining the right to vote or suffrage. During this time another huge issue was that of the treatment of African Americans in the country. One of the influential women that fought for both the women’s movement and abolitionist movement during the 1st Wave was Ida B. Wells. Ida B. Wells, an African American woman, born in 1862 in Holly Springs, Mississippi to parents who were former slaves that were very active in the Republican Party during Reconstruction. Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had not had any effect on their lives until 1863.

The Black Panther’s Ten-Point Program, later known as The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense Ten-Point Platform and Program, is, in my view, the most significant document of the 1960s in the United States. To explain why I make such a statement, three points of assessment will be utilised in order to explain why; these are context, contribution to the climate of the 1960s and the importance of the central issue of the document in the period of the 1960s. The context in which the Ten-Point Program was written reveals key events which helped to shape the ten points. One major factor was the Vietnam War, the Black Panthers recognised the importance of the Vietnam War and they utilised a theme of challenging the Vietnam War in their ten-point

“Conflict theory explains deviance and crime as a consequence of unequal power relationships and inequality in society.” This is exactly what the Black Panthers were fighting against. The roughnecks, on the other hand, were a "victim" of circumstance. They couldn't get away from the eye of their community so more people saw the trouble they got into, it wasn't an issue of power or inequality. They simply grew up in poor homes, I used quotation marks around "victim" because they didn't have to commit crime just because they were poor, and lots of poor people aren't criminals.
