Nomination on Proposals;

Stephanie : In my opinion I believe Stephanie's blog is a great proposal, because women have worked hard through all those years to earn respect and equality. They are fully capable of doing everything themselves and they should not have to stand for abuse from anyone.

Nelsharry : Nelsharry's proposal should be enforced, because hadicapped people should be treated as equals. They might need minor adjustments, but they are just as hard working.

Paulette : I agree wih Paulette, when people reach a certain age they should not drive if they have an impediment that affects their driving skills, because they can cause accidents.

Celimar : I nominate Celimar's prosposal, because I believe that if they allow immigrants in the U.S., They can help the society.

Arshad : I believe that Muslims an every culture should be treated equally and they should not be judged through where they come from.

Natassia : I nominate this proposal, because Catholics nor any other religions should not be judged by their religion and what they believe in. They should be treated as equals.

Amendment Proposal;

          As you may know throughout history women have been treated as inferior to men. They have had hard times through time to get what they deserve. Woman had to organize groups, make protests and rebel against men and the government. Eventually after all their fighting to get justice time gave them freedom and equality. Still today women suffer discrimination and abuse from men, not as bad as before, but believe it or not it still happens.

          Today there are several laws that help and are in fevor of women rights. Aside from those laws that already exist, I would like to propose a modification in Law #54. Law #54 allows women to send any man to jail for spousal abuse or verbal accusations with no proof of physical abuse. In my opinion I consider that every women should me included in this law. It does not matter if women are married or not domestic abuse wether you are married or not is still abuse. Someones life is still in danger and their physical and emotional stability is still in danger. No human being should have to stand being mistreated or abused, because there is not a law to protect them.

          As I stated before women had to go through many hard times during history. After all their fighting for equality justice was made for them and they were treated as equals. Although there are several laws in favor of women I would like to make some changes in Law #54. Law #54 states that women can send any man to jail for spousal or verbal accusations without proof of physical abuse. I propose that every women be included in this law, because no women should have to stand for this abuse. Women are in every right to speak up, be heard, and fight back, but they can't do it alone. This is why I believe the law should help them fight against it.

Women Rights Today;

          Women rights have taken a big turn during time. In the 1800s women were seen as inferiors when compared to men. Women fought hard over time to be treated as equals. They had to go through many struggles just to get what they rightfully deserved. Eventually through time they achieved their goal to be treated as equals.

          Back in the 1800s women were not allowed to vote or have an opinion on elections at all. Also in that time period women were payed less for doing the same work men did and some even were denied a good job for being a women. Today women are heared, they actually have a voice. Thanks to their hard work the Nineteenth Amendment now prohibits votes be discriminated based on gender. Women now are hired in good jobs and are payed just as well as men. Women can now keep their properties during and after marriage. They are now fully independent.

          Therefore as I stated before women were under estimated by men. Back in time women were restricted from many privileges. Some priviliges women were restricted from were voting, getting payed right, keeping their properties after marriage and being fully independent. Women fought with protests and succeded in their goal to be treated as equals. Today women are still discriminated sometimes, but they have come a far way and they are now treated equal to men.



Women Fighting for Equality;

          Back in history women were mistreated and discriminated, because of their gender. The fight was not easy at all for them. They were seen as weak and not capable of hard work. A women's job back then was basically being a housewife. There opinion was not taken into hard consideration nor they had the right to vote.

          Women got tired of being treated unequally so they began to fight back. Women used many different strategies to fight back and be heared. One of the strategies they used to fight back was protesting. They made huge groups and stood on the streets with multiple signs and statements. They protested for their jobs, for the right to vote and in fact one of the statements they use to say was " If women fight, women vote ". During the twentieth century a portion of the suffrage movement known as the National Women's Party that was led by Alice Paul became the first to riot outside the White House. Due to the protest many of the women protesting were put in jail. In 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex, was ratified.

          Women never gave up and thanks to their perseverance they were succesful. Protesting helped their voices be heared. Women now have the right to vote and they are treated as equals. The fight was not easy for them, but they were fully determined to get what they wanted. Thanks to the fight the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified and now they do not have to stand for being treated any less then what they deserve and work for.


Oppression of Women;

          Women have had a history of being discriminated for their gender. During the 1800s the idea was created that the only "true woman" was the submissive wife and mother concerned exclusively with home and family. This idea meant that women were considered to be good women when they stayed at home taking care of the house and taking care of the children, meaning that single unmarried women were considered to be less. Women were considered to be weaker than men. Women were basically encouraged to be followers, but could not have an opinion.

          Women were not allowed to vote, because politics was not considered to be a women business. Businesses were also sexist. Women were not given high positions or important jobs in business companies. Also women could have had the same position as as men and done the exact same job, they got payed less than men. If we go even further back in history girls were not even allowed to go to school and get an education. Women were forced by the government to surrender their properties to their husbands after marriage. Women were basically not allowed to be fully independent.

          Women were discriminated for a very long time. Women were under estimated for their gender. They were put on lower positions than men. They were seen as if their place was always at home taking care of the children and the house. Women should have been treated equal to men, because they are fully capable of doing things just as well.

Women's Right Organization;

          An organization that fights each day for women rights is called "Women for Women International". This organization is for any women willing to join the fight to defend their rights and make their opinions be heared. Women for Women International deals with women that have gone through surviving war , civil strife, economic stability issues, and self-sufficiency. They are determined to achieve their goal, which is to change the world one women at a time. This organization helps women fight through crisis, offers leadership education, financial aids, and rights awareness. Their purpose is to be able to live in a society free from abuse, discrimination, where women can have economic independence, where women can show their true potential, achieve their goals, and a world where they can define their future.

          Women for Women International gives women who are struggling the power to take control of their lives again. This organization helps women see that they are not alone and there are people going through their same situations. Women for Women International encourages them to be more independent. It makes them see the real women inside them. The organization helps them see what they are capable of and their true potential.

          The organization Women for Women International has a cycle procedure that helps each and everyone of the women that join this organization. They make women recognize health is an essential right to any human being, meaning everyone has the right to have health care insurance. Also in order for women not to experience an injustice they make sure you know your rights. I believe every human being is strong and they just have to be determined and go after it. I think it is great that there is an organization where women are actually uniting to fight for what they believe in and for what they rightfully deserve.

Classmates Blogs

Arshad Khalil: I Learned with Arshad's essay that if they did not change their names they would not be accepted. I also learned that the Native Americans could not own weapons, so they would not go against the whites. At the end a massacre occured, not a war. The whites were Americans were afraid the Indians would rebell.

Gabriela Adams: I learned that no matter how the Native Americans tried to fight and defend their culture the Americans would always overpower the Indians. The Native Americans were very strong and proud, but they were outnumbered by the whites. Also they did not have as much resources as the Americans. I consider that her essay was true and that she spoke about the injustice of how the Americans controlled the Native American.

Raymond: With Raymond's blog I agree that the Native Americans were forced out of their land by the Americans. They were taken to reservations to live their. The whites broke all of their promises. They never gave the Americans the resources they had promise they would give them.

Jan Paul: I learned that religion was very important to the Native Americans. The Americans did not respect their religion nor their culture. They wanted the Native American to become Christians. Also i liked that he spoke about the Indians Ghost Dance, how it was banned.

Cristian Virella: I learned that some of the Native Americans moved to Canada to avoid being under the rule of the whites. I also learned that the whites took a boy from his tribe, this boy was called Ohiyesa and they changed it to Charles E. Also they took him to school and forced him to assimilate the "American way".
