Importance of Female​

Answers

Women are the primary caretakers of children and elders in every country of the world. International studies demonstrate that when the economy and political organization of a society change, women take the lead in helping the family adjust to new realities and challenges

Explanation:

Answer:

See explanation for answer.

Explanation:

Femisism, what is it? It is the importance of female rights and privileges for females the same as a mans. Why the world used to feel or still feels that men are greater than women is unknown. I believe that this statement is a lie. There is nothing a man can do that a women can't. For some examples, both men and women are strong, both men and women are intelligent, both men and women are hard-working. We deserve the same pay as a man gets. If a woman does something wrong a man can make the same mistake. Women go through childbirth, periods, and many stereotypes. Women endure much harder things than men have to deal with and it astonishes me that women are still treated unequally to men.

Childbirth is by far one of the most painful things most women endure. Many men are unsympathetic towards it and act like it's no big deal. Men may look strong but are weak. Women are strong inside and out.

Periods, monthly torture for most of the women around the world. Month-to- month pain that lasts for a week. Yet, women pull themselves together and move on with their lives, because we are strong people.

The world has so many stereotypes towards women. Stereotypes like women can't have body hair, you have to be a certain weight to be pretty, put on makeup so you look pretty, dress revealing, etc... Why should we have to give into these stereotypes? Women are stronger than these foolish society guidelines. Tell me, what stereotypes do men have? Almost nothing, that's what they have.

In summary, females are important. We are what makes the world go round. We are stronger than you think. We are the past and the future and we deserve just as much as a man does.

This is not finished but I hope it helps!

Have a lovely night!

Answer:falling into your smiling

Explanation:

Read this excerpt from "The Past" by Ellen Glasgow.

When I gave my name and explained that I was the new secretary, I was delivered into the charge of an elderly lady's maid, who looked as if she had been crying. Without speaking a word, though she nodded kindly enough, she led me down the hall, and then up a flight of stairs at the back of the house to a pleasant bedroom in the third story. There was a great deal of sunshine, and the walls, which were painted a soft yellow, made the room very cheerful. It would be a comfortable place to sit in when I was not working, I thought, while the sad-faced maid stood watching me remove my wraps and hat.

"If you are not tired, Mrs. Vanderbridge would like to dictate a few letters," she said presently, and they were the first words she had spoken.

"I am not a bit tired. Will you take me to her?" One of the reasons, I knew, which had decided Mrs. Vanderbridge to engage me was the remarkable similarity of our handwriting. We were both Southerners, and though she was now famous on two continents for her beauty, I couldn't forget that she had got her early education at the little academy for young ladies in Fredericksburg. This was a bond of sympathy in my thoughts at least, and, heaven knows, I needed to remember it while I followed the maid down the narrow stairs and along the wide hall to the front of the house.

(im reading Enrique's Journey)

Answers

Answer:

below

Explanation:

paragraph 1

The resolution of the plot revealed the author's purpose by showing the process of immigration into the United States. The purpose the author wrote in this story was to show the reader the challenges Enrique and his family had to go through just to be financially stable and live a decent life. The human rights issues in the book Enrique's journey would be immigration, poverty, assault, and sexual assault. Immigration and poverty issue appears in the beginning when Lourdes (mother of Enrique and Belky) sneaks into the U.S to earn money to feed her children.

paragraph 2

The author uses negative diction in the quote, “We are human. We should treat people in a humane way. It's okay to send people back. But they shouldn't shoot them, beat them this way.” Nazario uses negative words such as, humane, shoot, and beat. The authors purpose is to show why the immigrants did what they did. It gives us all a better reasoning and understanding to what they do. The humans right issue is immigration, the author shows this by Enrique's Journey.

In this speech Roosevelt termed, for the first time, journalists as muckrakers.SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1906In Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward, with the muck-rake in his hand; who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor.In Pilgrim's Progress the Man with the Muck-rake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck-rake, speedily becomes, not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil.There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . . To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping generalizations as to include decent men in the general condemnation means the searing of the public conscience. There results a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public corruption or else of a distrustful inability to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well-nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad. There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.What was Roosevelt warning against in these sentences? I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . .
