Equality In The Odyssey

I am WOMAN, hear me ROAR; the phrase women have been screaming since the beginning of time! The inequality of women is fundamentally out of sorts and despite improvements over the last 100 years, there’s far more work and acceptance that needs to be obtained before women have true equality in all aspects of their lives. In this paper, I will show how women incur inequalities in just about every aspect of their lives today, even after we have proven that we are more than equal to our counterparts. I will compare and contrast the inequalities of women in the Southern Baptist and Northern Baptist denominations of Christianity and then Liberal and Orthodox Jews. My initial conclusion is that women like other minorities will continually have

Advertising draws a certain type of customer. If the advertising is based on the attention of a certain population, then we are back to what people think. In the past, modesty and respect were characteristics of people. No one would be caught even looking at the things advertised today. Over the past 50 years, our country has gone from The Brady Bunch to the Kardashian’s.

Women have been oppressed in male dominant societies since ancient times and still are in some present-day societies. Homer’s The Odyssey gives insights into the Greek culture through the story of Odysseus and the challenges he faces in attempts of returning home to Ithaca. The epic poem revolves around men, or in particular, their hardships and accomplishments while rarely providing women’s perspective of life. Millay’s “An Ancient Gesture” empathizes with Penelope’s difficulties and admires her fortitude, while the poem addresses Odysseus’s fault with his lack of understanding and empathy.

Movie(s): Ulysses (1955); The Odyssey (1997) In the movie The Odessey, there are some differences that are shown than that is written in the book. In the book more men were eaten by the cyclops: where as in the movie only two or three were eaten. Also, in the Cyclops scene only one Cyclops is shown, in the book many chase the men. Next, in the book Odysseus and his men visit the island of the Lotus Eaters that does not occur in the film.

In The Heidi Chronicles the personal is the political; a story of one woman 's journey through a time in history of great change. The women who fought for equality in the 1960 's paved a road of significant depth. I owe my life to their sacrifices, their bravery, their desire for change, their belief in possibility.

Through this course, we have encountered different text that we have read that have their own struggles and great persistence within them. “So Long a Letter” written by Mariama Bă and None of us Will Return by Charlotte Delbo are two stories that show readers that there is a meaning to life and how they migrated to one area without knowing what will come next. In this essay I will exhibit how the migration from one place has impacted the lives of both individuals, answer a few worldview questions based on what is the purpose of life and what happens to a person after death. In “So Long a Letter” the main topic of this letter was to inspire women that they have a meaning to life and had more attributes than who they are.

Tyria Wickliff Kathy Hayes College Writing 101 D 27 September 2017 Depictions of Women In the Media      The media plays a major role on how some women view themselves in real life. They start to see whats accepted and whats not through society which causes them to mimic what they see women doing in the media. Those young women who are displeased with their appearance most likely can trace those feelings back to images they’ve seen in the media whether on television, social media sites, magazines, blogs, etc. These images mess up some young women’s views of their own identity.

How does one define diversity? Diversity to me is how one individual is different from another. This includes your gender, religion, race, ethnicity, physical abilities, and socio-economic status. We are different from one another but should all be treated equally with respect. Working in a male dominated organization I have been able to witness the firsthand realities of how female employees are treated.

“Teen Models Auctions Virginity for $2.9 Million on Cinderella Escorts” The headline of an article posted on November 6th, 2017 no doubt drew gasps out of many women and men who stumbled upon the article on a regular scroll through the internet, or more specifically, on the website Allure. Social media reacted accordingly, commenting, “How could a young woman sell something so precious?”, “Virginity is one of the most sacred things a woman can have”, and of course the typical gripe about sex workers being immoral and disgusting. Why do as a society place such a huge importance on an imaginary, and frankly damaging social concept? Virginity, in its entirety is one of the many antiquated and highly patriarchal ideas regarding the value of women

Abortion is a topic that isn't typically written about because it is so touchy and controversial. Abortion is also knowing as a “termination of pregnancy” since it ends the birthing process of a child and the pregnancy of a mother. Many say abortion is the equivalent to murder and dangerous to a woman's overall state of health. Considered murder of a person, abortions are dangerous to a woman's health and the main stance for religious people is they believe that abortions go against God’s will. On the contrary, it is unfair to put that burden on a woman because her body is her own and is ultimately in charge of how to treat it.
