Susan B. Anthony And The Women's Movement
... association and, with Elizabeth Stanton, worked to pass the first laws guaranteeing equal rights for women with regard to their children, property, and wages. Anthony was a heroine in North America for her tests of the U.S. Constitution, though the right to vote was not secured until after her death.
Susan B. Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, NY, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to anti-slavery and to temperance. However, when she rose to speak in a temperance convention, she was told, “The sisters were not invited here to speak!” Anthony promptly enlisted in the cause ...

... and self-esteem. That you must be proud about yourself and influence others to be happy about being a teenager.

Poverty
... as large changes. The real truth is that
people do not realize that the little small changes add up to equal a large
change. Changes lay the foundation for which type of person will belong to
a certain social stratification. Anytime a change occurs one must beware
that they might be entering into a crisis.
In the Chinese culture, if one would break up the word crisis, they
would find that the word means opportunity and danger-threat. One might
gather that the word crisis is bad, but it could also relate to a good
situation. What the word crisis is trying to say is that it is a dangerous
situation where there is opportunity at the same time. People w ...

Sexism-Patriarchy
... for a job would be turned
down based on the simple fact that they are a woman. Prior to the Women's
movement women were constantly discriminated against in this manner. Sexual
discrimination still exists but its occurrence has drastically reduced, subtle
discrimination is however, still quite prevalent in our society. Salary is one
aspect of this still present discrimination, a vast majority of women employed
in the work force today receive less of a paycheck for the same amount of hours
worked on the same jobs as men. This is reinforced by the low number of women
who have a high paying, high powered job. There are a significantly higher
number of women who ha ...

For example, your beautiful bride who you love and adore, has a small fetish of spending money. Since you and your bride are united as one in marriage, this means that her fetish problem has now become your problem. This exact situation is known to break 4 out of 10 marriages in the U.S. today. (Los Angeles Times) The last thing any happily married couple wants is to end up in a divorce court over an issue such as this one. By living together first, is one possible way of avoiding a situation l ...

Transition From Adolescence To Young Adulthood
... as; Where do I want to be at that point in my life? How will I go about getting there? and Why have I chosen the path that I want to take?
The first step that I want to complete during my twenties is to attend college and graduate from a major university. A common transition for many when becoming an adult is the completion of one’s education (296).
For many students, attending college immediately after high school permits them to grow and develop intellectually and personally. I feel that attending college plays a very important role in gaining experience for the real world, acquiring knowledge beyond my career field, and growing cognitively by thinking in new w ...

The Women Of The Nineties
... the traditional fifties lifestyle is for the children. If mothers are staying home instead of going to work everyday then their children do not have to be raised in daycare. It is not fair to the child to have to spend ten hours a day in a facility where they can not get the attention they need and deserve. Children need their parents. Only a parent can truly give their child what he/she needs. A daycare provider can not give each and every child in the daycare center the love and attention that one of their parents can give them.
One of the things people do or are supposed to do when they have a baby is make sacrifices. Many women today are too selfish. They want ...

Moral Force Protesting

In some cases, hunger strikes by the ‘victims' are also done. Aside from well
constructed speeches and hunger strikes, the refusal to obey certain laws and
the passive resistance, that is, resisting to incoming violence usually from the
government, are other ways to morally protest without any physical violence.
Sometimes due to the refusal to abide to certain laws the supporters may find
abusive, the moral force protest supporters might find themselves confronting
the law, and perhaps even acting illegally. In recent years, certain countries
which hadn't previously given women the right to vote changed their d ...

... farm families eat cornmeal mush - made from oven-roasted field corn - for breakfast. Eggs and cooked cereal are other typical breakfast foods. Fruits or juice may be included.
The main meal of the day typically consists of noodles, macaroni, or potatoes; meat, which is often fried; and canned vegetables. Homemade or supermarket-bought bread is served at every meal. The lighter meal commonly consists of soup, cheese or bologna, and fruit. Snacks are usually apples, cookies, or leftovers.
Teaching Implications
