Case 7.03 Minority Rights
7.03 Minority Rights
Women
Wanted not only to be wives working at home but to have a career. Women wanted to be treated equally as men with respect.
But the media showed “wives” as being “happy” in their ordinary life working at home and showed “working women” as “sad” with their choice to work in a workplace.
So women began fighting how the society did not equal them as men. They demanded their rights that they believed they deserve. They fought over years, it was known as “battle of sexes”.
Native Americans
Wanted to be treated equally in the society by keeping their lands under their control safely and to stop any kind of law that might take their reservation land away.
But they were ignored in society. Native Americans were the poorest

    Before the war women always worked toward becoming dominant or equal to men. Men always saw women as the care takers, cleanup crew, and kitchen staff. Women wanted to prove to men that they could be more than just mothers, teachers, and cooks. Women didn’t have many rights and were always expected to be quiet and listen, but women didn’t want it to be this way. Women knew that they were as determined, smart, strong, and willing as men, and women were prepared to fight back and for their rights. Even growing up women would follow in the footsteps of their mother to become a house wife. A whole generation of women were being brought up and brainwashed into thinking they weren’t as clever or able as men, so that generation rose up and took a stand against what they believed in and knew what needed to be set right for generations to come.…

    Men were the workers, bread winners, property owners, decision makers, and kings in their families and in society. Everyone worked beneath them. They went out to work each day and expected that when they returned, the women within their families would provide the proper necessities of life: food, a clean house, and take care of the children. A woman on the other hand was expected to provide these necessities and often she also provided work outside the home, she may have even work alongside her husband too. When she finished that job, it was expected that she would attend to her home duties, these included, providing care for her husband and family and never to complain.…

    The battle of the sexes is a centuries old strife between the male and female populations. It is more often than not that modernist writers portray one of the sexes as superior to the other, and the opposite sex must prove themselves to their superior. Some of the modernist writers who demonstrate this battle in their writing include James Thurber, Earnest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.…

    As mentioned by Debbie Reynolds in The Tender Trap (1955), “A women isn’t a women until she’s been married and had children” (pg 652). Education also further enforced these ideas. In school, girls were taught to knit, cook, type and etc; they were also told not to miss out on marriage by pursuing higher education and because of that, only one-third of college women completed their degrees. But there were changes under the way. Increasing number of women entered the workforce and by 1960s, twice as many women worked outside the home as compared to 1940s. One-third of the labor force was women and one out of three married women worked outside the home. Their median wage, however, was less than half that of men. Majorities actually work to augment family income, not to challenge stereotypes and because of that, they are willing to take low-prestige…

    Affirmative Action Case

    Any case that reaches an upper level court all the way to Supreme Court, involves numerous political actors and parties supporting both sides of the case. First and foremost is the plaintiff, Abigail Fisher. She testified the violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment based on her Caucasian race by the defendant, University of Texas at Austin. The University denied her admission even though she surpassed all requirements and fell into their top 10% guarantee for admission category. The President of the University, Bill Powers, argues that their use of affirmative action respects the rights of all students and is vital to maintaining the diversity that creates a beneficial learning environment on campus. Edward Baum, part of the American Enterprise Institute, is a republican that worked with Fisher on combatting this Affirmative Action case as he has many before in the past. Civil rights groups and individuals such as Baum, assist in swaying the courts to eliminate this factor in…

    Women wanted to achieve equal rights and they demanded they had every right to do a man's job. Feminism soon surfaced and they first sought to be able to vote. For decades, women formed groups to fight for their freedom and later they were able to accomplish this. During WW2, women were exposed to be able to work in a man's job. Many felt thrilled and independent to be able to work for themselves and to be able to earn their own money. This gave that extra push to fight for their right as a woman to vote and to be equal among both genders.…
