Marriage is oftentimes praised for all its good qualities, but people tend to avoid discussing the downsides of marriage in order to avoid discomfort. Confronting the problems that many couples face in marriage is hard, and most people find it easier to simply overlook any issues they may face to avoid furthering the problem. In “My Problem With Her Anger,” Eric Bartels elaborates on the struggles he and his wife face and what experiencing the effects of spousal anger feels like from a husband’s perspective. Through emotional appeal and anecdotes, Bartels semi-successfully argues that husbands are too often, and unfairly, on the receiving end of their wives’ anger and stress.

In the case of Angelique Lyn Lavelle was acquitted by the jury. I believe she was guilty of the crime even though her partner abused her and as testified in the case by Dr. Shane that was hired by the defense stated that Lavelle was characterized as a battered women based on his experience.

Have you ever wondered how far back in our history the world has been full of hate, prejudice, and rage? It has been seen in the form of war, mass genocide, enslavement, and even something minimal compared to the others, like riots and looting for centuries. Despite this common knowledge, there are many forms of violence, injustice, and rage that go unseen. Carol Anderson’s, White Rage, dives deep into the idea that maybe the worst forms of rage do not come from the most obvious and attention-capturing events, but the ones who stay hidden and subside deep in their privileged and ‘noble’ positions. She wants to show you, through the eyes of a minority, what it is like to constantly be looked past and looked down upon. Anderson argues the fact that no matter how many laws and regulations are put into place to cease the existence of racism, the rage in America continues to thwart African American advancement. Through precisely compelling choice of words and a structural design that pulls everything apart only to piece it back together to form a much larger picture, Anderson brings rage, the white rage, into a new and different light. This shows readers the depth of the racial problems in our country through a recap of groundbreaking historical events, advancing or obstructing African Americans, along with the white backlash.

In the essays ‘Violence against women’ by Nancy Mandell and ‘The fame of whose lives? Gender, race and entitlement in Canada’s National game’ by Mary Louise Adams, the authors discuss patriarchy; a term used to describe the society in which we live today, characterised by current/historic unequal power relations between women and men where women are systematically disadvantaged. (London Feminist Network , 2015) This takes place across almost every sphere of life but is particularly noticeable in women’s under-representation in key institutions, in decision-making positions and sports. Male violence against women is also a key feature of patriarchy. Girls are being socialised into a male controlled society. Mandell’s article concentrates on
This is in fact true, no one in the book cares about her or how she feels which must be very depressing and demoralising. This situation leads her to become frustrated and she lets it all out during a conversation with Crooks, Lennie and Candy. She ‘flared up’ and started to pour out her feelings about how she doesn’t like her husband and begins to pick on and threaten all three of the men. This incident really gives an insight on how unhappy and bitter she is with her life. Her marriage to Curley was only a dismal attempt to escape her solitary life.
Contact sports like football, boxing, wrestling, and hockey have health risks associated with repetitive head trauma that can produce concussions. Players of these types of sports are at a significantly higher risk for developing long-term brain damage and cognitive impairment later in life. A concussion is a subset of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and results from shaking the brain within the skull. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (the “AANS”) has defined a concussion as “a clinical syndrome characterized by an immediate and transient alteration in brain function, including an alteration of mental status and level of consciousness, resulting from mechanical force or trauma.” (Sports-related
In the essay “The Wife Beater” by Gale smith, the author offers a brief background of where the term “wife-beater” is said to have originated from and she also gives her opinion on the name. In the 1970s the origin of the term came from the stereotype of a Midwestern male beating his wife while clothed in a wife-beater. Then, in the 1980s the undershirts were popular to wear during sports events as well as wet t-shirt contests. In the ‘90s the term was said to have arose from sources such as gays, gangs, and rappers (Smith 517). Although this type of shirt and term has clearly been around for many years and is worn by thousands of people, Smith feels as if, “[t]he name [of the shirt] is an issue” (516). Many women around the United States
Contrary to popular belief, a society can be successful without being flawless. To prosper, one simply needs modest inhabitants. While utopias consist of humble citizens, they are also places with faultless economies, places of equality and perfection. On the contrary, dystopias are places of ideality where everything goes wrong. The government is typically a totalitarianism one where a self-absorbed leader degrades most inhabitants, like in Animal Farm.
Bill's fantasy of being like the Stone's may be shown by his actions of taking a bottle of Harriet's pills (14), and drinking and eating their food, with no qualms of invade his neighbors privacy (16).
