Bamberger, Joanne. "Voter ID laws pose threat to women's rights." EBSCO Host. Mas Ultra, 30 Oct. 2013. Web. 30 Mar. 2014.. Sometimes the issues of women’s rights are overlooked. Although it may seem understandable and even intelligible to have strict identification laws for voters, it may end up backfiring. Here in the United States, there is talk that new laws--which may go nation-wide--will make it more difficult for women to vote. Multitudes of women change their last name when they get married. However, many more also change their last name when they get divorced. It is much more difficult to change their name back on state documents. If the discrepancy is found, as it most likely will with the new laws, these women could be discredited and not allowed to vote at all. Without their voice being heard in state elections, it will be similar to before they earned suffrage. The Athenian government was called a democracy, but women, slaves, and foreigners did not have a vote. The world would move back to a patriarchal world and women with have to fight for suffrage all over again. The work of Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and many others will be reversed.

...at are firmly settled in their patriarchal ways, there are many countries that are shying away from this continuity. It seems that these countries will continue to benefit their female populations. After all, much is said about the popular view of gender disparity simply by the plethora of articles written. While some countries may accept genital mutilation, abuse, or denied education, many others do not. Admittedly, the worst of the unequal treatment occurs in non-democratic (i.e. the Middle East) or extremely corrupt (i.e. India) governments. And, many of the more equal opportunities for women—equal pay and unrestricted militant careers—are in the U.S. Based on these articles, women in the developed world may gain more and more parity, while women in less developed countries face a much more difficult battle. Maybe someday, we will reach egalitarianism again.
After this Act, many women felt that if the majority of men, regardless of class, were able to vote, why should women not be able to vote as well? Later, in 1870, the first part of the Married Women’s Property Act was passed. Until this act was passed, when a woman married, any property she owned was legally transferred to her husband. Divorce laws heavily favored men, and a divorced wife could expect to lose any property she possessed before she married. The implications of these two Acts combined, was enough to start women questioning the reasons for them not being able to vote, it started the campaign of votes for women.

My research essay will be investigating metaphors for detection in The Name of the Rose using a New Critical Approach. Specifically, I will be focusing on the Library in the Abbey and its labyrinth like qualities as a metaphor for the process of detection William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I expect that my thesis will involve exploring the process of detection that William uses and the outcome of his investigation in relation to his process and how they are metaphorically related to the Library-labyrinth of the Abbey. Through my research I have found information about a couple different types of mazes and how the process of detection in the novel is parallel to or contrasts with each of them. I have also generally researched labyrinths and the concept of paths and routes leading to a common goal to can develop my argument further because there were not a lot of sources I could find that were specifically about the Library-labyrinth as a metaphor for detection. At my current stage of research, I still need to finish reading the novel so when I am writing my research paper I will have a better idea of the process of detection that William of Baskerville uses throughout the novel. I will then be able to draw specific examples from the novel to support my thesis about the parallels between the Library-labyrinth and William’s process of detection and the final outcome of the mystery. Also, since I could not find many sources specifically about my topic, I am going to research the two elements of my argument separately to further and support the sources I did find specifically on my topic. In order to find all these resources I have used MLA International Bibliography and Academic Search Complete for online journal articl...
Recently the concerns of women around their equality in society has become a hotly debated topic in the public spot light. Much of the debate concerns women and the ingrained sexism that permeates most cultures. Many women's activists feel that this ingrained sexism has widened the gap between men and women in a political, social, and economic sense. And for the most part they do have strong evidence to support these claims. Women have suffered through millennia of male dominated societies where treatment of women has been, and in some cases still is, inhuman. Women are treated like subhuman creatures that have only exist to be used for procreate and to be subjugated by men for household use. It has only been very recently that women have become recognized as equals in the eyes of men. Equals in the sense that they have the same political and social rights as males. While the situation has improved, women still have to deal with a male oriented world. Often women in the workplace are thought of as inferior and as a liability. This can be due to concerns about maternity leave, or women with poor leadership skills. But also in part it is due because of the patriarchy that controls all aspects and dynamics of the culture, family, politics, and economy. Even developed countries like The United Kingdom, United States, Germany, and France, could be classified as a patriarchies. These countries may not agree with this notion because of expansive, but not complete changes, that have gradually equalized women in society. However, there are developed countries that openly express a patriarchy and have enacted little societal changes to bring equality to women. Japan is one such country, and t...
Sixty- nine years after the Declaration of Independence, one group of women gathered together and formed the Seneca Falls Convention. Prior and subsequent to the convention, women were not allowed to vote because they were not considered equal to men. During the convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered the “Declaration of Sentiments.” It intentionally resembles the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal…” (Stanton, 466). She replaced the “men” with “men and women” to represent that women and men should be treated equally. Stanton and the other women in the convention tried to fight for voting rights. Dismally, when the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to the Congress, the act failed to be passed. Even though women voiced their opinions out and urged for justice, they could not get 2/3 of the states to agree to pass the amendment. Women wanted to tackle on the voting inequalities, but was resulted with more inequalities because people failed to listen to them. One reason why women did not achieve their goals was because the image of the traditional roles of women was difficult to break through. During this time period, many people believed that women should remain as traditional housewives.
The study, which was conducted at a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Southeastern United States, evaluated twenty-four premature infants between 32 to 40 weeks of age on the effects of music therapy to reduce inconsolable crying episodes. Along with inconsolable crying, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and mean arterial pressure were also measured. Two groups were randomly divided in the study, which was conducted over a four day period. Group A was exposed to lullaby music and received standard nursing interventions on days one and three, and group B was exposed to both interventions on days two and four. The alternate days for each group included standard nursing interventions only. The length of inconsolable crying and the physiological data were observed, measured, and recorded using a research design tool. On days in which music therapy was incorporated, infants were inconsolable approximately three times fewer, with the episodes lasting about 18 minutes less a day then on non-music exposure days. Physiologic measures were also improved for the days the infants listened to music versus the days when they did not.

This article argues that there is a clear understanding of what crimes the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) measures. Citizens and the police are both in general agreement about what a serious crime is as it involves many different factors that make it a serious crime. The police and citizens are both part of the decision making process when classifying an incident as an index crime. The decision making process involves the following steps that are taken: defined by the victim, determined by the police, obvious accounts for most of the changes in whether a crime should be reported and officially recorded, personal characteristics of the offender, and the effects suffered by the victim. Studies show that crimes are reported to the police because the victim was greatly affected by the crime committed. Studies even show that not all crimes are reported to the police because the victim has a reason not to. I intend to use this article for my research to for my research project to explain why victims would report or not report a crime to the police.
Reducing the stigma in special education is a very important topic because the stigma effects so many people. There are many ways stigma could be reduced. Some examples of those ways could be educators being required to have special education training or properly integrating special education and general education. Proper training of educators in the special education field would make students feel less intimidated by professors and teachers alike and more likely to step up for themselves and their education. Properly integrating special education and general education could possibly end the bullying of kids with special needs because integrating the education could show the general education students that they are no different from the special education students.
...action with others… especially men. This supplies final substantiation of the authors' argument, that women continue to be oppressed by their male-dominated societies. It is a bold undertaking for women to ally and promote a world movement to abandon sexist traditions. Although I have never lived in a third world or non-Westernized country, I have studied the conditions women suffer as "inferior" to men. In National Geographic and various courses I have taken, these terrible conditions are depicted in full color. Gender inequality is a terrible trait of our global society, and unfortunately, a trait that might not be ready to change. In America we see gender bias towards women in voters' unwillingness to elect more females into high office, and while this is not nearly as severe as the rest of the world, it indicates the lingering practice of gender inequality.
