Recommended: Equal pay for women arguments

Have you ever thought about being president of the United States before? Well, it’s probably not going to be your dream job that you’ve imagined before. You have to upkeep the entire country by setting laws into action that will make the country a better place. Luckily, there are a lot of things that could be improved about the country.

If I were president, I would try my best to eliminate sexism by giving women an equal pay. Unfortunately, we live in a society where men are seen as the stronger gender and get a higher pay than women. They also tend to get accepted into more jobs. I think this is in no way fair, and there is no “superior gender”. Another thing I would try to accomplish is the abolishment of racism. Many people of color are …show more content…

I would try to solve this problem by giving the poor cheap/free healthcare and also giving veterans who have PTSD or an amputated limb free healthcare, too, because they served for our country. There would also be more homeless shelters and hospitals, some of which would be specifically for homeless or poor people who have mental illnesses.

Gun control would be a must. In order to legally own a gun, you would have to pass training, much like a driver’s test. If you had passed the test, you would be required to keep it in a highly-protected safe at all times except for in case of emergencies. You could only have a certain amount of guns at a time.

Due to the fact that some people have a habit of picketing veterans’ funerals, all picketing at funerals would be completely banned, and if you were seen doing it, you would automatically be charged about a fine of 500 to 750 dollars. Hate groups against races or genders would be abolished. On a smaller scale, PETA in America would not be allowed to take animals from homes or off the street because they euthanize them and they don’t even give them a chance at being adopted. They also took a dog from the front yard of a citizen’s home and immediately euthanized. On that note, animal abuse would be an offense susceptible to

    Of the most powerful people in the world, the President of the United States of America hits the top of the list. Even though the policy agendas that presidents set as they take office often go unfulfilled, the office of President is still one of the most envied spots to have. But why could this be? It is because the United States is the most powerful nation in the world and with the President as the leader, he is said to have the most power in the world ("Top Ten Most Powerful Countries in the World"). With power comes responsibility and with this position he must govern a country while abiding by the rules.

    Have you ever felt discriminated against in the workplace? Usually, women are the most common people that are mistreated in the workplace.

  • The American Presidency: Evolution in Time

    2445 Words  | 5 Pages

    The American Presidency is undoubtedly one of the most widely recognized popular icons throughout the world. Although to most foreigners or those who have never resided in the United States or know little of its history, the executive branch of government may seem to be as dull and unyielding as the rest of the American politics, for those few rare individuals who have taken the time to examine and closely scrutinize this office of the American political system and its recent history, quite the opposite will be said. Unlike Congressional or local elections where typically a number of individuals of the same ideological background must be elected in order for a particular issue to be addressed by the government, when it comes to the presidency, one person, although checked by various other divisions of the same government, has the power and responsibility to literally, as history has proven, change the world. The American people, "like all people everywhere, want to have our (political) cake and eat it too. We want a lot of leadership, but we are notoriously lousy followers" (Genovese). In other words the expectations the public has of the executive office are ever-changing since we demand that our leaders keep up with the evolving world around us and them. Throughout the past seventy eventful years alone, the American people's views, perceptions and demands of the Executive Office of American government have evolved simultaneously with the political and social events of that same time period.

    Those against guns might simply say that removing guns entirely would substantially lower crime rates.They are upset that criminals can illegally obtain firearms just as easily as law abiding citizens can obtain legal firearms. Having absolutely no gun control would most likely result in more violent crime and shootings. With no gun control, this means that anybody can legally obtain a firearm. Currently, all states employ a system of background checks that every individual must mass before they are permitted to purchase a firearm. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 was an amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Sexism

    It was difficult for me to choose a gender norm violation to perform, but while I began working at my new restaurant job in September after knowing about the gender norm assignment, I decided to take the position of opening the door for customers. Usually the male hosts were assigned this job, however I spoke with my manager about being assigned this position for a few shifts. The gender norm that I was violating was holding the door open for male customers, and I was particularly interested in their reactions. This violation was especially apparent to me when an elder man refused to let me hold the door open for him even though it was my job. He asked me if my job was ‘door opener’ and when I told him it was, he responded with “a pretty woman like you should not be holding open the doors.

    Whenever a mass shooting occurs, people ask if tighter gun-control measures could have prevented the slaughter. In my opinion, restricting gun sales to anyone found guilty of a violent crime would be the most effective. Enforcing background checks in gun sales could prevent any potential threat to our society. Another method would be strengthening sentences for illegal gun possession. The fear of punishment is something our criminal justice system implemented for a long time.

  • Misogyny In America

    957 Words  | 2 Pages

    For almost the entirety of the existence of the human race, gender inequality between men and women has been a prominent issue. Although the gap between genders has decreased significantly in modern society, misogyny is still an unsolved issue. Some may simply discount those with a misogynistic mentality, believing that there is no possible way such an archaic problem exists. However, it is clear that despite efforts to lessen its impact, misogyny still plays a role in most everyone’s’ lives. In Pale Fire, Vladimir Nabokov illustrates how impactful misogyny is in society through Charles Kinbote, a person whose life is rooted in spurning women. When Kinbote discovers a poem written by his colleague, John Shade, about his deceased daughter and

    1. My result for hostile sexism was between zero and one, while my score for benevolent sexism was between one and two. My scores were closest to the average female and male in England and Australia for benevolent sexism. However, my hostile sexism was very low compared to all the countries that were listed. My scores surprised me, because I did not expect my benevolent sexism score to be closest to England or Australia. More simply, I did not expect other females and males to have similar scores, so the graphs were shocking. My results were furthest from Cuba, Nigeria, and Syria. My scores for hostile and benevolent sexism were very low compared to average women and men in Nigeria, Syria, and Cuba.
