A Fast Woman in a Man’s World
The go-fast girl from south central Asia, Alisha Abdullah, is officially the first and only female professional motorcycle racer in India. It is extraordinarily difficult for women to achieve success in any career in male-dominated India, one of the most female-oppressive countries in the world. Additionally, Ms. Abdullah faces consternation among Muslim men, who base their mistreatment of females on their religious beliefs. When asked how she feels about the uphill struggle she endures, Alisha said, "It’s all in your mind! Nothing is impossible!

Don't Forget to Bring the Right Gear Along
Before you head out for Track Day you should check with the school about allowable or recommended riding apparel and/or motorcycle modifications (if you're taking your own bike ). In addition to renting the bikes, most, if not all, operators will have proper equipment available for rent. If your stuff doesn't meet the guidelines, you can save money on anything you need in the way of motorcycle accessories at BikeBandit, one of the biggest motorcycle parts distributors on the internet. (5) A word of advice for before you're on the track, going 200 mph: equip yourself with the most expensive personal safety items you can afford, then raise the price by 10 percent. With motorcycle racing accoutrements, you usually do get what you pay for, so generally the more it costs the better it is.

This paper will address the harmful effects of a male-supremacist society and how the patriarchy affects individuals who are not male. Research indicates that, in order to fix this problem, society must seek to provide equal opportunities and redefine gender in the process. Gender inequality has existed since the beginning of civilizations, such as in China and Afghanistan, and is deeply entwined with history and culture. In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, he explores the gender double standard in traditional Afghan culture.

“While the Wright Brothers flew overhead and Model T’s rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly line, the new sport of motorcycle racing began drawing large crowds bent on celebrating a piston-powered future.” (Britannica). From 1901 to around 1903, the first racing motorcycle would be produced by the Hendee Manufacturing Company, being known as the “Indian”.

Women are said to have fewer opportunities and not as good opportunities as men may have. Women, also have to work twice as hard as men do to get a job that's “meant for men”. The fact that women have to work twice as hard as men gives women the advantage of learning new things and also how to really work for what you what. In this day and age, many wrongful men still believe they have power over females. Women are treated as lower class to men. We were told as we grew up to do what the men tell you if you want to keep them. That our job was to wash the dishes, clean the house, and make dinner. In some countries this is still how women are seen and how women should act and if they didn’t they would be punished.. This was how it was in the book “Kite Runner”. Women had almost no say in what they were allowed and not allowed to do. Through seemingly minor references and characterization, the author reveals a powerful theme portraying the realistic position of women in the Afghan culture. These examples provide the minor evidence that accrued through the novel.
African American veneration of elders did not begin in the new world but was transported by slave ships from Africa during the Middle Passage. Despite the many Africans who chose to acclimate to slavery to survive in the new world, there were many who held tight to their beliefs and traditions including ancestor worship. The values that have been passed down from generation to generation have focused on family, along with the emphasis on both children and elders in the African American community (Billingsley, 1992). From the onset of slavery in the United States, informal caregiving included fictive kin and has played a crucial role in the African American community as a response to racism, according to Sudarkasa (1996). During slavery in the
The devil at the dawn of Christianity bore little resemblance to the ruler of hell, the antichrist and agent of evil that he is known as in present day. Satan makes few overt or implied appearances in the Old Testament. For the important role of God’s greatest adversary, early Christians had to flesh out great parts of Satan’s story in order to develop him into his present, fearsome persona. The Christian story of the Devil is heavily influenced by earlier Greek mythology, and early Christian writings about the Devil co-opted local mythology in order to gain new converts and discredit popular pagan beliefs.
My professional and personal goal is to achieve a bachelor degree in healthcare. Being the best person I can be, and setting goals that I can achieve is my motivation.
