Article of the Week
H.English, P.3
November 26, 2012
Operation: Article of Week
Women have made many turning points in history, and it is about time the gals showed that they can be in a position of power. The article “Ten Reasons a Women Should Head the C.I.A.”, written by Tara Miller is about just that. Overall I agree with the writers claim that women should climb to power and improve the status of women everywhere in this nation, which we call ‘equal’. At many times the author seems biased to me, perhaps because she is a woman herself.
I believe that women should improve their status through having a higher position. Gaining senior positions is very important, these positions maintain what the public views as great, efficient and worthy to this country. A position in the C.I.A. is highly regarded, which in turn makes the highest position, president, very highly regarded. What shocked me the most was that many other countries such as India, Germany, and Brazil have had female leaders but America has not? This is unacceptable in many ways, and it is debated that because of this reason the United States of America is where it is now, bankrupt. It is about time women start to jump some steps of the ladder. Becoming the head of the C.I A. means that so many other doors will open for women, leading to windows, back doors and so much more. I intend to climb in through a window and reach a status equal to or greater than this one, perhaps presidency?

    One of the most crucial issues facing women today is whether or not a woman is ready to run this country as President of the United States. Politics has always seemed to me to be a "boys club" mentality no matter where or when. There seems to be a thought process that women don't belong in politics because they are too nice, too innocent or too naive. There is even the notion by some men that women do not possess enough education to become a politician or that women do not possess the "kill or be killed" attitude that would come in handy, especially as President in a time of war or conflict.…

    Women's participation in politics goes far beyond their numbers in elected bodies. In all major political movements of this century, in all movements of social change, women have played an extremely important role. But despite participation and mobilization of women in politics in this broad sense of the term, we have not seen a commensurate increase in the number of women in different levels of decision making. Indeed, the higher you go the fewer women you see. The question of women's representation in elected bodies and in other decision making committees, needs to be seen in the light of this blatant imbalance due to gender discrimination.…

    Amy Euphemia Jacques Garvey’s 1925 essay entitled Women as Leaders educates an empathetic audience on racial discrimination while boldly critiquing gender roles and the men who choose to simply obey them. She insists that the “doll-baby type of woman is a thing of the past” (2), and encourages women to take action in their own lives. Garvey points out that women have a variety of skills, and rather than merely filling conventional roles, women can make the world better. Furthermore, she believes that in order for freedom to be achieved, it is essential that women be involved.…

    In the Article of the week, by Ezra Klein she discusses things about the world that you might not have known & that surprises you. She talks about where most of the people in the world live , where in the world it’s the best to be born & who are the wealthiest people in the world & where they live. In my opinion I think the most surprising thing was that more than half of the world's population is situated in one circle around Asia. Asia is the largest continent is the world, has 48 counties & home to 4.427 billion people. The top 5 most populated cities are…

    Why don’t women get as much respect and recognition from men when getting a promotion to a managerial or C.E.O type position? Because the media shows you that only men are fit for that position so to men, women “can’t do the job right.” I mean c’mon, there’s probably tons of young girls out there who have dreams to be the next president and even the drive to try and make it happen, but won’t even try because the media says it’s wrong to want something other than just a family. There is roles out there that actually do portray the woman lead as an independent strong woman with a great job and a family, but they also show her as a “bitch” who’s constantly away from her family and is only about work. Never an independent strong woman with a great job and a family who can balance both, even though it is possible in real life. No wonder most young women don’t strive to be the best they can be, they’ve been taught that if you do nothing positive comes out of it family…

    While reading this article, I learned so many new things about anti-aging creams and make-up. The bonus is the fact that Olay doesn’t test their products on animals, they do it on human skin from biopsies. The equipment to do all the tests and make the creams is very expensive. One machine costs $350,000.000. They use around 94 ‘gene chips’ with samples of skin to do many different series of tests. In the article they used a lot of fancy words that I don’t quite understand, but I’m sure I can assume what they mean. It’s crazy how much science goes into anti-aging formulas. It’s all about the sun damage and the metabolic stuff.…

    Men shouldn’t be the only ones that can be leaders, women can be leaders also. Women should also have the right to fall in love with whomever they want and to grow old with them. They also should have the right to start a family and to have loved ones who are there to support each other. We have arrived at phase where women should be valued as human beings and to not be treated like they are not worthy of being anything. Women should experience and value the sentimental events of being a woman and a great…

    A women’s life is centered around her reproductiveness and ability to be a caregiver. For example, there are significantly more women in elementary education than there are in higher education. In contrast, since men are unable to bare children, they have time after time been responsible for providing the necessary for the his family, while “their” women stay at home carrying over the children, maintaining a clean household, and being responsible for all their needs. Since men tend to be stronger and bigger than women, this ultimately has lead society to believe that men are more dominant than women; hence, women are often portrayed as weak and vulnerable. These biological characteristics translate to cultural myths about what a man or women can or cannot do; therefore, discriminating gender. This male dominance and privilege has contributed to the notion that men hold more power roles than women. In addition, being naturally more violent and at higher rates than women has contributed to the myth that men are better leaders. Today, men are in charge of significantly close to most if not all of the largest corporations. If a women happens to be part of the leading group of one of these corporations, it leads to question whether she has the position in order to increase diversity or because she deserves and worked hard to be there. It is is unfortunate that society promotes that women are simply not good enough for the…

    By figuring out what unites women as a whole, could change the future and set equality in motion. Hillary Clinton explained “However different we may be, there is more that unites us then divides us” (“Women’s Rights Are Human Rights”). Equality is something America has never seen before and has been ignored for many years but is in the near future. Women should be valued, respected and acknowledged just as it says in the First Amendment. Hillary Clinton exclaimed “We are here to find common ground so that we may bring new dignity and respect women and girls all over the world” (“Women’s Rights Are Human Rights”). Women aren’t given as many opportunities as men and its time people start finding shared preferences and work together as one. Women are pushing for equality due to men being given preferential treatment both in past and present societies. “The future of the translantic relationship lies in confronting the changes of the twenty-first century” says John (McCain). In order for the world to progress not only as one but equally, women need to be viewed the same as men. Women should not have to feel inferior just because of their biological differences to men and their voices should be heard with the same respect that is given to…
