The world we know today is constantly changing. In just 90 years a lot of things have changed drastically. 90 years ago the invention of the car was still pretty new but now it's become apart of everyday technology, along with our phones everything has changed. There are some things that have stayed the same. A couple things that have stayed the same over all that time is women's role in society and something that had just started then but still works just the same are movies. They are a lot more ways that you could compare the 1920’s to Today but I'm going to talk about these two, so let's get into it.

First of all, Scout is more a tomboy than a girl. Boys tend to live by the phrase, “Boys rule. Girls drool.” Scout expresses,” I was not so sure, but Jem told me I was being a girl, that girls always imagined things, that’s why people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find some to play with.” (45). This quote implies that Scout thinks girl things are bad and boy things are good. She has constantly been taught this. Scout believes she can avoid being a girl by not acting like one. Being a girl to Scout is more about what she does than what she is born with. Another example of Scout being more of a boy is how she reacts to the situation with Walter Cunningham and Miss. Caroline. In the text, Scout states, “Ah-Miss. Caroline? Miss. Caroline, he’s a Cunningham.” (22). The gender role of a girl would usually to sit back and watch everything go down. In Scout’s case, she is outspoken and has no filter. She has to tell Miss. Caroline what everyone else is thinking. It is in this sense and others that Scout challenges the traditional gender roles throughout the

When Jem tells Scout that she is “gettin’ more like a girl everyday.” he means that she use to be able to withstand playing with them but slowly she's being kinda questioning things or not all in. When she was not sure about going to look into the window of the Radley residence at night with them he was aggravated and told her shut up or go home. In my opinion, girl just simply means female. Back then girls were suppose feminine ladies that cleaned,cooked, and took care of the children. Now girls can be and do whatever they want.

If the book had taken place in today’s times as opposed to the 1930’s scouts life would be different. First of all, throughout the book she struggles with being a lady or being “Lady-like”. “Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches” (Lee, Page 108). She is told to act like a lady would and wear dresses even though she does not want to. If this were now, she would have less pressure to wear dresses and act ladylike. Nowadays young girls wear dresses less often and there is less of a “Girls have to wear dresses” stereotype.

In the beginning of the novel, Scout acts masculine and is unable to stand being called a girl by Jem, creating a negative connotation with being a girl. “‘Scout, I’m tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home- I declare to the Lord you’re getting more like a girl every day!’ With that, I had no option but to join them” (Lee 69). To Jem, calling Scout a girl is insulting, and indicates uselessness and weakness. He stereotypes all

In the beginning of the book, Scout is a tomboy. She acts, dresses, and walks like a boy because when she was little her mom died, leaving her in a house with two men, Jem and Atticus. Scout has a lot of masculine influence but

The boys and girls club have been serving children for 150 years. They have given their helping hand to millions of kids worldwide. The Boys and Girls club’s mission has always been “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The Boys and Girl’s club was formed to assist underprivileged children or children who do not live in the best environment.

In her early years, Eleanor was a debutante. Eleanor was enrolled in the Junior League (Scharf, 1987). The Junior League was a group of young upper-class women who planned to add social responsibility to their lives (Scharf, 1987). Eleanor took her role of social responsibility very seriously (Scharf, 1987). She taught classes at the Rivington Street Settlement House in Manhattan (Scharf, 1987). Eleanor treated the immigrants with absolute kindness and taught her classes with total commitment and personal satisfaction (Scharf, 1987).

Scout hangs out with her brother Jem a lot in the book so she’s not much of a girly girl. She likes to hangout with the boys and have fun with them. Jem and their new friend named Dill decided it would be a good idea to get into a tire and have someone push it. Most first grade girls would be to scared to do this, but not Scout. She hopped right into the tire and said, “The ground, sky, and houses melted into a mad palette, my ears throbbed, I was suffocating” (page 49). When I was in first grade all I was concerned about was playing with barbies and I thought boys had cooties, but Scout likes to hangout with them. Her brother Jem has influenced her on being a tomboy because he got mad at her for acting like a girl and he quotes, “I swear, Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl it’s mortifyin” (page 50). All Scout wants is to be able to hangout with her brother so she acts like a tomboy so she can fit in. Personally I think it is cool that she doesn’t fit the standard and act how a girl is supposed to act

While each Girl Scout does not keep the income from her sales troop members see the direct benefits of their efforts these kinds of strategies help reinforce the broader purpose of the cookie program such as teaching girls valuable lessons in marketing and career training. The Girl Scouts specify five essential life skills that the cookie program focuses on developing goal setting, decision making, money, management, people skills, and business ethics. As Councils are shifting their focuses onto better business approaches and skill development, many are hosting sales training seminars.

The Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA are both nonprofit organizations that can be the most wonderful experiences in one’s life. Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout can help the youth develop maturity and character, as they grow with age and enter adulthood. Through the process of volunteering and showing leadership skills, Boy Scouts of America and Girls Scouts of the USA are both life-changing organizations. One involved in any of the two organizations will create unity throughout their community and uphold a legacy. While the youth involved in one of the two organizations earn achievements and countless awards, scouting can be utilized to create an exceptional college admission resume. Although the Girls Scouts of the

It is worthwhile to reflect on the social and political advancements of women during the past one hundred years. Women now have the right to vote and to own property. They let their voices be heard instead of sitting silently in the kitchen. Women hold jobs previously restricted to men - police officer, firefighter, construction worker, doctor, truck driver and scientist. Obviously, this list is not all inclusive. Unfortunately, there is still one area that remains restricted to women. Women have assisted the military forces as far back as the Revolutionary War and yet there remains positions that women are excluded from. Female military personnel, having proven their ability to handle combat situations and having
