    What are some examples of bias, fallacies, and specific rhetorical devices in the speech you selected? An example of a fallacy within this speech is where she talked about the third group of people when comes to families. I thought it was kind of messed up that she referred to them as disease creating, irresponsible and immoral. I think she’s referring to poor people with no knowledge of birth control. I know she could have referred to them with a better set of words and still get her point across to the readers. An example of bias within the speech is when the author was referring to the wealth class group of people and how together they seem to have everything. The author made it a point to refer to the wealthy class of individuals as intelligent and the most moral members of society that seem to not make mistakes when it comes to raising a family. The specific rhetorical device the author used in this speech was hyperbole. The author seems to think that the immoral act of not using birth control properly has led to a society of disease and poverty in the world.…

    All parents love and want the best for their children, and they have their own way to raise their kids. According to the article Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior, Amy Chua is the one who will force her kids to do what she think it is good. However, my opinion goes against the thought of Amy Chua about how to raise children because I believe that children should not only be prepared for their future but also enjoy their childhood with the pure innocence. According to the article Mother Inferior? written by Hanna Rosin, I agree with her idea that, “Children have to find happiness themselves.” Parent should not create their new life, but let their kids make their own decision, do their own dream.…

    n the essay, The Mother of All Questions by Rebecca Solnit, Solnit is bombarded with questions regarding her decision to not marry and have children. Instead of her interviewers focusing on her work, the thing she has dedicated her life to, she is instead held down by the stereotypes that plague women today. Many people in today’s society still had the notion that main responsibility for women is to give birth and care for that child. The fact that this notion is still prevalent in society bothers me because it prevents men from realizing that women have passions and desires that they want to accomplish in life outside of this cult of domesticity. An accomplished women will never get the respect she deserves if we give into the notion that…

    The number of childless adults has increased since the mid 70s due to reasons such as location, expense, women having jobs, and how society portrays parenting. The article “No Kids For Me, Thanks” by Teddy Wayne provides examples of people who agree and disagree with refusing to add to the gene pool and why. Kate Bolick, for instance, says, “If I had kids, I can’t see doing it in New York City. Not just because I couldn’t afford it, but because I don’t like the idea of raising a child in the epicenter of class disparity and extreme wealth.” The media also affects adults’ decisions about having children by creating reality shows or writing articles that depict parenting as a tiring, frustrating task.…

    The topic I chose to discuss would happen to be none other than “Option 2”, which refers to the article I have recently read titled “Why My Mother Wants Me Dead” by Sabatina James. According to the story it sums up family tradition and religion to have selected marriage partners for teen girls and strict guidelines. Certain acts such as not wanting to marry the partner selected for you by the parents can result in family disownment and death. The mother of Sabatina happens to withhold full authority in her life which effected her in a sense as well as forcing her to act against the marriage arrangements. In response to the option I selected, I feel the do’s of being a parent raising a healthy child consists of rules and laws. Although the child…

    In “In Defense of Single Motherhood”, Katie Roiphe argues that single motherhood can be just as suitable as the “typical” American family . Roiphe states that, “…There is no typical single mother any more than there is a typical mother. It is, in fact, our fantasies and crude stereotypes of this “typical single mother” that get in the way of a more rational, open-minded understanding of a variety and richness of different kinds of families” (58). Roiphe is correct in her argument, because my observations have shown that single motherhood can be just as good as the ‘typical” American family. The ideal family has to be financially stable, educated, and loved. A single mother is able to processes these three components, just like the “typical” American mother of a family would be able too.…

    Question 1 In Nancy Scheper-Hughes’s article “Death Without Weeping”, Nancy’s main role was to be an anthropologist who simply observes the culture she studying. However, the group concluded that Nancy served as both an observer and a helper. Her role as an observer was exemplified by the ethnographic work and article written about the shantytowns. On the other hand, she aided the culture by feeding and nursing back to health Zezinho, a 13 month-old toddler deemed doomed for the death by his mother. After the little boy became healthy and was returned to his mother, Nancy felt intense guilt on whether rescuing Zezinho from his near death was fair to him or his new little brother. The group remained in unison that all anthropologists face this…

    Pro Choice Abortion

    “If the anti-abortion movement took tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence and neglect, they could make the world shine.”1 This quote refers to all the unwanted children in the world that suffer every day and every minute only because their mother could not abort them. One may ask, what is the point of bringing these children into the world when there is no one to take care of them when they are hurt, hug them when they are sad, and make them feel special? Some of these children might actually be wishing to die rather than live in their cruel lives. This is when the pro- choice movement arises. Being pro-choice doesn’t mean being pro-abortion, it means that a woman should have a choice between bringing a wanted child into the world and killing an unwanted child. Even though the world has prospered so much over the years, many people are still ignorant. According to our society, religion, and government, abortion is immoral and unjust, but are they being just to a woman? A woman should have her own choice on whether to keep her child or to abort it, without the interference of others, and that is what being prochoice is mainly about.…

    Birth control is described as a variety of ways used to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Another common name for birth control is contraception, because the various birth control methods prevent the sperm and egg from uniting to form a fertilized embryo.
