Mrs. Kari Brandon is the teacher I aspire to become. She is passionate, smart, and driven. This is a teacher who knows that paper and pencil are not the only way to teach a child. She aims to be a teacher who makes a difference in a child’s life by teaching them to love themselves and school. She goes above and beyond every day in her classroom and devoted her life to teaching. The world needs more people like this who care and can make a difference—not just with how she teaches school, but also how she stood up for that little girl that suffers every day at home.

  • The Feminist Scarlet Letter

    1795 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Scarlet Letter can easily be seen as an early feminist piece of work. Nathaniel Hawthorne created a story that exemplifies Hester as a strong female character living with her choices, whether they were good or bad, and also as the protagonist. He also presents the daughter of Hester, Pearl, as an intelligent female, especially for her age. He goes on to prove man as imperfect through both the characters of Dimmesdale and of Chillingworth. With the situation that all the characters face, Hawthorne establishes the female as the triumphant one, accomplishing something that, during Nathaniel Hawthorne’s time, authors did not attempt.

  • The Fight for Women's equality in Canada

    1789 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the best ways to judge the different political arguments in Canada from the early 20th century, is by reviewing the different political cartoons that were released. These were an effective way of educating the masses because it did not require an advanced education or vocabulary to understand where each side was debating. One of the more popular conflicts that were ongoing in the first years of the 1900’s was the fight for women’s equality. This included the right to vote and the right to participate in government. By comparing political cartoons from before, during, and after the First World War the changing context of Canadian society also affected the public opinion and the power balance towards the evolution of Women’s equality.

  • Victoria Bromley Feminist Analysis

    1040 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to feminist Victoria L. Bromley, if feminism is about combating all forms of inequalities, including oppression, towards all social groups, then feminists must study how masculinity oppresses both men and women. Patriarchy, men’s powers and dominance, hegemonic masculinity, the idea that the “dominant group” in society is most powerful, and hyper masculinity, the exaggeration of the emphasis on male characteristics, all lead to oppression through multiple forms: privileges and unearned privileges, hierarchies of power and exclusion. Bromley argues that the feminist approach towards eliminating oppression, is to use an intersectional analysis, a theoretical tool used for understanding how multiple identities are connected and how systems

  • The Future Of Education As A Future Teacher

    1529 Words  | 4 Pages

    In today’s society, students seem to be different. As a future teacher, I realize that students today need more out of their education. I believe this is because of the vast home lives students come from and the various issues that students face today. Many of the students that I have worked with on my field experience come from dysfunctional homes or broken homes. This creates many problems; both emotional and behavioral. As a future teacher, it is important to keep this in mind when working with students. Teachers today evaluate the background of their students and use this information to better serve each and every student. In today’s world, teachers understand that not every student is the same and doesn’t come from the same place. Due to this fact, teachers make it very important that they get to know who their students are. Each day is a new day for a teacher and every child is a unique individual. Teaching has its many ups and downs. I believe that teaching is not just profession for livelihood but goes far beyond the essential human values. Teaching is not a profession; it's a passion. Without passion for your career and a desire for your students to learn, to help them be the best in the world, if not, we have failed as a future teacher and failure is not an option. A teacher has to be an inspirational and constant driving force to a student, and only then can they become somebody in life. Great teachers are remembered not for the subject they teach, but for inspiring their students and for unlocking their ability to dream. Teaching is an honorable profession and to be a teacher by choice is even nobler. Teachers are the guides to future leaders of history. Their effects are timeless and no one knows where their influe...
