Brave Girl Research Paper
Alejandra,
Great post! I always enjoy reading your thoughts! I agree with you. Chi Li is definitely a brave girl. However, she is still a human being. I think she did not inform her parents of her plan because she was worried her parents would try to get her to change her course of action. Even more, she was worried they would succeed in that endeavor. As you stated, Chi Li was unsure if Fate would smile upon her. Despite her immense bravery, I think Chi still might have been a little afraid. She did not want her parents to give her a reason to keep thinking about what she had decided and possibly shy away from what she wanted to accomplish.

    Mary Crow Dog, an American Indian activist and member of the Lakota tribe in South Dakota, struggled with her identity because of her mixed ethnicity and her exposure to conflicting religious influences early in life. Her complex religious views resulted from her confusion over the stark contrast between the positive representation of woman in traditional Native American religion and the negative treatment and limited power of native women in modern culture. However, Mary’s reconnection with traditional native beliefs ultimately allowed her to find her voice and gain a sense of purpose. Identifying with the Sioux culture helped her acquire qualities she lacked when she was estranged from the traditional…

    Paper on Anita Hill

    In October 1991., a woman by the name of Anita Hill brought out allegations against Clarence Thomas. Anita Hill argued that Clarence Thomas, a perspective supreme court judge, sexually harassed her at work and outside of work. Anita explained that Clarence continuously pressured her about going on dates and speaking of other sexual matters. Though Anita spoke of these matters in court no one knew of these matters to be happening. Fearing to lose her job, Anita went along with the pressuring until she reached her breaking point of going public. Although Anita’s testimony sounds very factual, the article points out some discrepancies in the case. Firstly, if Anita were uncomfortable with Clarence’s actions she should have gone public when it first happened. Secondly, Anita never seemed to dislike the matters enough to put a halt on them. Lastly, Anita knowing that she hated the situation in which she was in she should have not taken the second job under Clarence Thomas.…

    Brave New World by Aldous Huxley shows how scientific advances could and have destroyed human values. Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932, and most of the technologies he examines in the book have, to some extent, turned into realities. He expresses the concern that society has been neglecting human-being distinction in the progression of worshipping technology. In the story there are no mothers or fathers and people are produced on a meeting line where they are classified before birth. They also use a drug called, soma, to control themselves which illustrate the lack of personal freedom. Everyone in the state world do whatever they were taught since they were growing. For example, one of the tasks they give people is sexuality which is shown as an everyday and simply entertaining activity with no emotions or feelings whatsoever. We can see an extreme loss of human values because what makes a human being is the fact that they feel, think, and choose. It is amazing how Huxley wrote this book more than 60 years ago, yet we see resemblance to it in our society today. For example, society uses different kinds of drugs to control moods if they want. Another good example could be how doctors are now producing children with particular qualities based on what their parents want and using donors' genes. A very shocking moment for me in the novel was when Linda, John's mother, was dying and the people in the state world were watching and laughing at it. Today we see a lot of people who don't respect their parents and people who enjoy the suffering of others. What has society gone to? How would you feel to be in a twisted world where we are produced in factories? How would you feel to be in a world where there are no such things as freedom or ethics? I think society is close to get there and it's sad because all our feelings, thoughts, and values make the meaning and beauty of life.…

Indigenous people are being slaughtered for protecting their homes and our earth. They are being hunted down and murdered without even a mention in the local news.
