    The evolution of the rights of woman in Australia owes much to successive waves of feminism, or the woman’s movement. The first of these took place in the late 19th century and was concerned largely with gaining the right to vote and to stand for election into parliament. The second wave of feminism took place in the 1960s and 1970s and focused on gaining equality with men in other areas, such as work, the law and general social standing. These protests for the changing rights and freedoms of woman targeted many different aspects of life and presented a broader challenge to traditional ideas of woman’s rights. This therefore led to more fundamental changes in the daily lives of mainstream Australian woman.…

    Propaganda can be used in a positive way such as the just say no movement that Nancy Reagan created about drugs. “Drugs take away the dream from every child’s heart and replace it with a nightmare, and it’s time we in America stand up and replace those dreams.” This all started when Nancy Reagan was at a school in Oakland a little girl raised her hand and asked “what do you do if someone offers you drugs?” Nancy replied “well, you just say no.” That is how the just say no campaign all started.…

    Lizzie Borden

    On the day of April fourth, 1892, a husband and wife were murdered with an axe in Fall Rivers, Massachusetts. With no witnesses to the murder, it is hard to find who the murderer of this case was. With some suspicion, circumstantial evidence, and inconsistent answers this case could have been overcome to figure out who the killer really is. Lizzie Borden, the Daughter of Andrew Jackson Borden, was accused of murdering her father and step-mother, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Without any direct evidence, meaning evidence that can be shown and is not just inferred, pointing to Lizzie for this murder, she was found not guilty by the jury. This case came down to only the circumstantial evidence, meaning evidence that can be inferred, which in my eyes is enough to prove that Lizzie was indeed the murderer. With all of the odd happenings that in some way linked to Lizzie, this case should have ended with her behind bars. This trial lasted from June fifth to June twentieth of 1893 and still to this day this “miscarriage of justice” is looked upon as a great historical trial (Dershowitz 187). To this day people are convinced that Lizzie is the murderer of her father and her step-mother and that she got away clean with nothing but a little song written about her. “Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.” A look at the circumstantial evidence will show you, that Lizzie Borden is guilty of murdering her father and step-mother but “the sheer brutality of the murders was enough to convince most people that no woman could have been responsible for such crimes” (Hixson 8).…

    Miss America Article

    • 298 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The article, “Miss America and social media’s ignorant bigotry” written by Leonard Pitts Jr. is about how people label all Indian people as being Muslim and view them as terrorists, even though they are not Muslim. People in the US commit acts of violence against people from India who are presumed to be Muslim, and assume they are terrorists. The recently crowned Miss America is of Indian descent and people feel that this is not acceptable, and some people feel Miss America should be white with blonde hair and blue eyes. These pageants should not have the prejudices of people with foreign descent. The main point of this article is to illustrate the problems Indian people as well as people from the Middle East presently face in the US. They are disrespected and acts of violence are committed against them. Some people in America tend to be ignorant towards people from middle Eastern countries and in some cases, fear them. Some make certain stereotypes, like all Arab people are terrorists, for example. I agree with the article’s purpose. I feel that many Americans are very prejudiced and tend to dislike people of Arab descent, because of the groups they are associated with, in this case, terrorists. I think that this topic is very popular in present time, and is also very controversial. Many people have different views about it, and I feel this topic is imperative and needs to be discussed more often. I knew about this topic, but after the Miss America competition, I didn’t know that people posted images and comments on social sites that spoke so negatively about Nina Davuluri. I feel that is despicable and is truly a shame. Nina should be viewed the same way as any other pageant…

    Lizzie Borden

    • 4 Pages

    A little over a hundred years ago, a shockingly heinous crime was committed by a 32 year old Sunday school teacher, in an average 2 story house, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered. Their daughter Lizzie was arrested and put on trial for the killings. During the late 1800s it was hard for society to believe that a white woman in her thirties could be capable of doing such a thing. Although, she was acquitted on the accusations, to this day the murder of Andrew Borden and Abby Borden still remains a mystery. Her infamous story is widely known around the world and is still being discussed and debated by many people to this day. On August 4, 1892, Lizzie was the only person inside the house where her parents were murdered which could be key evidence pointing towards her guilt. Although, her father Andrew was a very wealthy and despicable banker, he might have been killed along with his wife as revenge for his mischievous business dealings. Three reasons why it was Lizzie who committed the crime; she was alone inside the house, wanted the family inheritance and burned the dress she had worn during the murder.…

    During WWI, one of the deadliest conflicts in world history, the use of new weaponry and trench warfare claimed the lives of 16 million soldiers, and mutilated the faces of over 37,000 more (Broken Gargoyles). Anna Coleman Ladd, an American sculptor from Boston, brought in her artistic skills to help aid these victims. She was classically trained in Paris and Rome, and had many well-known art pieces. In 1917, she opened up her own studio to put her skills to work in making masks for facially disfigured soldiers (Maker of Masks). Anna Coleman Ladd is a monumental figure in American history for revolutionizing the military-medical field by using her immense artistic ability to bring value to the lives of mutilated soldiers.…
