Culture Reading

She essentially discusses how she does all of these things, but doesn’t get much in return. Another example of pathos in this essay is when she talks specifically about the sexual relationship that a wife and husband have. “I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who will not demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it.” In this quote, Brady compares the sex that a wife has with her husband to another chore that she does. She shows that there is no mutual emotion or desire between them and that it is more of a duty of a wife rather than a pleasure. Essentially, she compares herself and any other wife to a sex puppet who is just there to service the husband with little to no joy. These two examples make the reader sympathize with Brady and the common housewife because of all of the responsibilities that they have as well as how they get little to no pleasure out of what they have to do. Lastly, Brady’s hasty tone shows her resentment towards divorced men as well as men in general. This allows the audience to understand her feelings on the topic of gender dynamics and it forces the audience to feel that way too.

Throughout this article Brady uses ethos, logos, and pathos to illustrate her opinion that the wife does too much in a family. Brady connects with her audience by relating to what was expected of them back in the 1970’s. She states reasons to why she wants a wife and lists what she says a wife would do for her. Lastly, Brady connects emotionally to her audience by

In paragraphs three through seven, Brady provides the reader with what she desires in a wife. Through repetition and tone, she shows the reader the unrealistic roles of a wife.

In “Preface to Cultural Literacy” by E. D. Hirsch, Jr., he claims that old theories is not transmitted engought basic knowledge information to young children. First Hirsch points out that it is not teacher or students fault that students did not get enough information about society, but the fault of curriculums, practices, and theories that are not helping students gain the background information that will help students learn about the society. Another time Hirsch reports that Jean Jacques Rousseau theory is wrong about young children that they should not receive an information about society before they understand it. Last, Hirsch believes that history of all the theories in the past is not giving us enough background information that will

Thus, any premises involved in Warren’s essay should intend to support this conclusion. The necessity of a trial marriage is irrelevant and does not intend to support the conclusion of this essay. Warren commits a red herring by the deliberate raising of an irrelevant issue during an argument. After discussing the fallacies Warren used in his essay, I want to use four strategies to have a closed and detailed assessment of the “So Why Bother with Marriage?” part of his essay to espouse my conclusion that Warren’s essay is unbelievable.

Khademian's book, "Working With Culture", is similar to Selznick's Leadership in Administration, in that both focus on the less technical aspects of public administration (structure and hierarchy) and instead look at problems that arise "between the lines" so to speak - that of people within the organization, and more specific to her work; the idea of culture within an organization. While this is not something that has been unknown, in fact it has been brought up in almost all of the works we have read so far, what is specific to the work we previously read, by Selznick, and Khademian's is an understanding of culture as something that does exist, not by mere chance as Cook and Wilson took it, but as something that should be acknowledged,

Prior to describing what a man will expect from a wife, Judy Brady establishes her credibility within the first couple sentences of her essay. Brady states “I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother” (1). This quote is significant since Brady makes it clear in the beginning of her article that she has firsthand experience of being a wife and a mother. Her experience allows her to have a vast amount of knowledge on the

Throughout her essay, Brady sarcastically states that she wants a wife to do countless tasks, one after another, as if she were a dictator. Brady lists, “I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying.” Brady uses this dictator-like persona to demonstrate the irrationality of husbands. Furthermore, Brady exposes the egotistical behavior of men through the constant use of personal pronouns, as an indicator that she yearns to receive the care that she was constantly offering. “ I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.

The article "Get Your Feminist Hands Off My Slimming, Colorful, Luxurious Clothes" by Donna Carol Voss is a piece of writing portraying how Donna feels about another article regarding feminism. However, both of the authors view the topic from a different perspective. Donna feels as if her "opponent's" points aren't valid for numerous reasons.

For me, the important part of this paper was both the composition ("The issue with sex is that it endorses how we ought to be instead of how we are") and the segment where Adichie addresses the issue of wording. A typical contention against utilizing "women's activist" is that it disengages

My biggest concerns as an ECE candidate are my language barrier and my cultural background. I think Korea is a very conservative country because it seems that there are only one standard of success, beauty, and etc. It has been continuously changed as the generation changes, but still, there is not enough understanding of diversity. Since there is one standard for each area, most people think different with others means something is wrong. There is a lack of understanding and acceptance of differences, so many people compare themselves with others to identify themselves and judge others with their own perspective easily. I have lived in that culture for 30 years. If someone asks me, “What cultural competence specifically means to you,” I could

When women marry young, they may not be the most experienced, making them ‘less adequate’ lovers in their husband’s eyes. The grades she receives from her children further drive the idea of a young mother through. Young mothers may not know how to best care for their children to make them happy. By her son giving her an ‘average’ grade however, we see that she is doing well but perhaps not the best. This again suggests that she is not able to balance her time between all the duties that are placed upon a wife and mother.

For this week’s reading, we read “Cultural Studies” by John Frow and Meaghan Morris. The author started out by describing how “culture” became a popular term within the media since the 1980’s and words like “postmodernism” and “globalization”. The Australian politician describe the word ‘culture’ affects people’s point of views and way of working through complicated customs, values, and expectations. The author supported the argument that changing culture is a very important aspect by using an example from Murdoch. He pointed out that being able to come up with “cultural” solution is essential to solve economic issues. A quote from the text is “Changing the culture is a way of challenging the conduct of other people’s everyday working lives, whether within the framework of a single company.” (Denzin and Lincoln P. 490)
