Analysis Of The Manipulated Man By Esther Vilar

about the reasoning she is providing the audience with. In her beginning paragraph, there does

The author makes very valid points throughout the whole essay and even uses someone else’s story to back up their information. The information given during the text is quite significant to the back up the points the author is making. Like stated earlier, using someone else’s story is a good way to make sure the information is correct. Throughout the text, the author will use words that may not seem clear at first, but Kolbert does a respectable job of clearing things up for the reading and making it easier to follow along. Since the author based their essay of the basis of another person’s writing, it is safe to say that the author used and interpreted the information very well. Quotes were used frequently throughout. Kolbert did a lot of wonderful things with the text, however, not many times did you feel the sense of an argument. The sense of just a general summary was felt the whole time. Overall the author did a very nice job gathering this information and giving it back in a way that the audience had a good understanding on where she stood with this issue.

One tends to meet someone who seems to be in charge of everyone around him or her. The grandmother in Flannery O’Conner’s A Good Man is Hard to Find is an extraordinary, scheming character that is extremely unrelenting in her actions to control people. On the contrary, she may have been a person just trying to attempt to save her own life without trying to be controlling. Maybe the fact that she was raised in a time when woman wore dresses to go out and never did anything unlady-like, made her think that her way of thinking and acting was the only acceptable behavior, even till the very moments before she was killed by the Misfit. The grandmother was trying to change her killer’s outlook on life and his position on holy grace and

Dorment convinces the audience with statistics and his own personal stories for example, he says, ’60 percent of the bachelors degrees in this country go to women.’ (Dorment 698) He is not saying that women are smarter but in today’s world we usually think of doctors as men and nurses as women. Dorment also says, “unmarried childless women under thirty earn 8 percent more than males.’ (Dorment 698) I believe that this is true women are believed to be weaker ones and tend to rely on men and that there are more jobs out there for men. Women are just supposed to stay at home and do the cleaning and take care of the kids. Society is forcing this on little girls growing up and it needs to stop. Dorment says, ‘institutional sexism and pay discrimination are still ugly realities.’ Why? Why do women make less, why are they forced to be stay at home housekeepers? Society we need to get a grip on making men and women equal instead of putting gender roles on everything, or we will destroy the upcoming generations.

It brings up the question: what would a woman that only has a future to be a housewife or housekeeper do with an education? By not taking a woman seriously when she wants to attend school shows that it will be highly likely that an education would be of irrelevant use.

Furthermore, She provides a strong tone that evaluates the potential of a woman. She presents her speech with facts and with confidence and passion. Her tone is trying to motivate young women to act up and take action. Along the way in her speech she makes up a sarcastic tone by claiming that “[women]do not have executive ability, orderly minds, stability, leadership skills, and they are too emotional”(Chisholm, 149). The use of this tone provides affirmation that conveys young women to feel capable of doing anything that men can do. These words don’t define the potential of women nor their abilities. Women are strong, women can take anything, women are smart, women have leadership. Just like Chisholm, women have a voice to speak up and advocate for a change. Throughout her positives tones, she also presents an emotional appeal to the youth who are going to college and are struggling. In reality, some women don’t get the same opportunity as others.“...when a young woman graduates from college…she is likely to have a frustrating and demanding experience ahead of her”(Chisholm, 149). Women face challenges with their eligibility when applying to jobs. Looking for a job is not as easy for women, it takes time and persistence. Unlike men, who are seen as

There are countless times that women have been shown or portrayed in a negative light, whether it be in books, movies, or anything media related. This can basically be summed up by the word “stereotype” which has been used many times in the past years. Sadly, women have a set of stereotypes that many people believe, that really portrays them in a negative way. Ernest Hemingway portrays a certain set of stereotypes of women as well, through many of his stories including “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” and “The Cat in the Rain”. Hemingway portrays women as being unfit to face the realities of the real world. He suggests this by showing women as overly emotional, self absorbed, and unable to make competent decisions whether it be under pressure, or just in general.

“Look at us! We’re just like everyone else. We’ve bought into the same ridiculous delusion; this idea that you have to settle down and resign from life.” (April Wheeler, Revolutionary Road). It has become a society norm that women are meant to serve housewives; to cook, clean, garden, and nurture children, even though they are much more capable of other things. The role of women is greatly overseen, as they are not perceived to be of their full potential, rather than as societies idealistic expectation. This is because men and those who are wealthy are unable to look past gender and accept women as of equal significance.

In her article, author Leslie Mann uses a study conducted by Paula England, a professor of sociology at New York University. In England’ study, she followed educated and uneducated women that were born between 1958 to 1964. The study included black, Hispanic, and Asian women, but most of the women studied were white women. These women were interviewed and asked questions based on their education history, career, relationships, and marriages. In her article, Mann included an interview with a woman named Vicki Rautiokoski, as well as statements from England and another professor named Barbara Risman. Because England and Riseman were both professors of sociology and Rautiokoski had the experience of an educated married woman, Mann used their knowledge in her article to support her analysis.

“The subject of the Education of Women of the higher classes is one which has undergone singular fluctuations in public opinions” (Cobbe 79). Women have overcome tremendous obstacles throughout their lifetime, why should higher education stand in their way? In Frances Power Cobbe’s essay “The Education of Women,” she describes how poor women, single women, and childless wives, deserve to share a part of the human happiness. Women are in grave need of further improvements in their given condition. Cobbe suggests that a way to progress these improvements manifests in higher education, and that this will help further steps in advance. Cobbe goes on to say that the happiest home, most grateful husband, and the most devoted children came from a woman, Mary Sommerville, who surpassed men in science, and is still studying the wonders of God’s creations. Cobbe has many examples within her paper that shows the progression of women as a good thing, and how women still fulfill their duties despite the fact that they are educated. The acceptance of women will be allowed at the University of New England because women should be able to embrace their abilities and further their education for the benefit of their household, their lives, and their country.

Sociologists reject the idea that behavioural differences between men and women are biologically determined. Outline the key grounds for this rejection and discuss what this means for a sociological understanding of gender.

In the article “The End of Men,” Hanna Rosin offers several examples of women overpowering men. The inequality between men and women has become a critical issue in today’s society. According to Rosin, women are slowly surging ahead in the workforce and family life while men are left behind struggling to meet expectations. Rosin argues that this role reversal is taking place because women are simply better suited for postindustrial society.

In Huxley’s well renowned novel, Brave New World, in an attempt to alter society, the government uses various techniques of psychological manipulation to control the way citizens think, behave, form their personalities, and live their lives. A huge theme in this novel is control and power. The leaders of the World State use various forms of manipulation to create an ideal utopia. Psychological manipulation is a type of social behavior that pursues to alter the actions of an individual through violent or devious undertakings. Manipulative behavior is not something that is easily identifiable because these individuals are usually good liars, are deviating, and only target vulnerable people. During every crisis such as World War I, the Great

Surely, she craved to write—meaning to work here—endangered her husband’s position as an authority. He would not have control any longer toward the narrator—his wife. In the 19th century upper class and middle class women were not expected to earn their own living. Women rarely had careers and most professions refused entry to women. In the middle of the 19th century it was virtually impossible for women to become doctors, engineers, architects, accountants or bankers. After a long struggle the medical profession allowed women to become doctors. It was not until 1910 that women were allowed to become accountants and bankers. However, there were still no women diplomats, barristers or judges. Women were allowed to become teachers majority of women became teaches but this was also a low paying job.

For instance, Saul Kaplan, founder of the Business Innovation Factory, extends Sandberg’s viewpoint that women can have it all by enrollment of men in college which is decreasing rapidly. In his article: “The Plight of Young Males”, Kaplan shares his resentment of the slowed regression of women in executive positions. However, the tables are turning more rapidly than one assumes. Similarly, to Sandberg’s statement on gender gap in academic achievement, Kaplan contends, “In fact, in each year since 1982, more American women than men have received bachelor’s degrees [sic] Over the last decade two million more women graduated from college than men. And the gap continues to grow” (733). Kaplan furthermore reinforces Sandberg’s illustration on the gender gap in education by inserting that “if today’s trends continue unaltered, the last young man in the U.S. to get a college degree will do so in 2068” (733). Kaplan illustrates this further by presenting low graduation rates of African American, Latino American and Native American men in college (734). By the illustration previously mentioned on the low enrollment of males in college creates the pathway for women to have it all while men may be taking on the traditional role of taking care of the family while women pursue a career. Kaplan takes the attention off women having it all and illustrates problems relating to men (734). Kaplan’s merely suggesting men are paving the way for women to have it all by the ever decreasing college enrollments of men which, in advertently, is leading men to lower paying positions in the workplace. Kaplan agrees with Sandberg’s work when she quotes “This gender gap in academic achievement has even caused some to worry about the “end of men” by suggesting that we need to focus on both men and women (646). Therefore, there will be an equal balance of men and women in professional careers while together
