Kingsolver's Arguments For A Female President

Hilary Clinton is a strong and effective choice to serve as a messenger and manager of women’s rights globally. She has proven herself as a fierce advocate for women’s rights due to her strong and consistent record of effectively championing women’s rights, economically and politically. She has remained consistent throughout her career as an advocate for gender equality, human rights, and women’s rights policies. Throughout her time in the Senate, she advocated women’s rights and used her status around the world to shine a light on issues of importance for women and girls. Hillary Clinton’s unwavering stance has supported that women lives are just as valuable as any other lives, women’s rights are human’s rights, and anything less is unacceptable. Hilary Clinton understands that the world needs to recognize the unfair injustice being committed against women’s rights. She chooses to speak out, instead of remaining silent. The world must understand and recognize that in the fight for justice, by remaining silent and turning a blind eye, which is considered the same as supporting injustices. Hillary Clinton suggested in her speech the world should no longer ignore the wrongs being globally committed against women, around the globe in today’s society, the issues of inhumanity and injustices are rising as the value on women lives declines.

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

When she spoke of the roles that women play in a man’s life caused some women to question their husbands reasonings behind the things that he said. Women were the foundation to men's education and nourishment. Women had to go through the pain to bring the men into this country and they have to face the pain that some men emotionally out them through. Yes, some of those men went home and talked to their wives about who to vote for, but not all of them did, or they did and went against what he and his wife had formally “agreed” on. Women would not have to sit down and discuss such manners if men would just allow women to vote and have a voice of their

“I have met new mothers in Indonesia, who come together regularly in their village to discuss nutrition, family planning, and baby care. I have met working parents in Denmark who talk about the comfort they feel in knowing that their children can be cared for in safe, and nurturing after-school centers. I have met women in South Africa who helped lead the struggle to end apartheid and are now helping to build a new democracy. I have met with the leading women of my own hemisphere who are working every day to promote literacy and better health care for children in their countries. I have met women in India and Bangladesh who are taking out small loans to buy milk cows, or rickshaws, or thread in order to create a livelihood for themselves and their families. I have met the doctors and nurses in Belarus and Ukraine who are trying to keep children alive in the aftermath of chernobyl”(Clinton 2). Hillary is emphasizing who she has met even though they are all different people. She also shows patterns of parallelism in the quote “We are the primary caretakers for most of the world’s children and elderly. Yet much of the work we do is not valued -- not by economists, not by historians, not by popular culture, not by government leaders”(Clinton 2). By repeating not by she's emphasizing the ways in which work isn't valued.

“Of course it’s one of those questions that I don’t think a man has ever been asked when he is running for office,” says Nancy Pelosi, current House Minority Leader after she was asked about her children when she was running for office. "Don't talk about if she's had some plastic surgery unless you're going to talk about the fact that he's had hairplugs. Don't talk about if she's a fit mother if you're not going to talk about whether he's a fit father," states Jehmu Green, president of the Women's Media Center explaining Gloria Steinem's concept of "reversibility" which calls for equal treatment for female candidates. Potential voters are not capable of fairly reviewing the issue positions of a female candidate due to amount of unfair questions they deceive during debates or speeches.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., she attended Wellesley College, then earning a J.D. (Juris Doctor) from Yale Law School in 1973. This hardworking presidential candidate is a woman who’s been fighting for children and families for over forty years. Someone who has provided her best works in reaching over the limits of a woman and providing millions of children with health care. This person is Hillary Clinton, and these are the only some of the biggest accomplishments she has made during her lifetime, there can and will be more if she gets voted as President of the United States of 2016-2020. She has been through many experiences in government, such as being an American lawyer and politician, U.S.

Author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness and an associate professor here at Ohio State, wrote an article “Why Hilary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote.” This article not only touches on how Hilary Clinton is only using black people as her “winning card (Alexander, 2)” in the 2016 Election, but also her past decisions she made as the wife of the 42nd President of the United States that should be taken into consideration by black voters. Mrs. Clinton and Bernie Sanders are the two Democratic Party presidential candidates. Although Bernie Sanders promises “a political revolution that will bring universal healthcare, a living wage, an end to rampant Wall Street greed, and the dismantling of the vast prison state...(Alexander, 5),” Hilary Clinton seems to be receiving all of the black votes, according to recent polls. Alexander explains that because many African Americans believed (and still believe) that Bill Clinton was the first “black president,” Ms. Clinton will receive several black votes.

When Thomas Jefferson was elected as the third U.S. president in the elections of 1800. The country was experiencing an enlightenment change. American citizens were asking for change and participation in government. For instance, women’s role in society change a little, receiving more recognition and role playing in politics and society.

One of the Jefferson's main concern was to maintain the country stability and peace. As a

With regards to Japanese Americans, FDR’s presidency is shameful; however, when attention is placed on other minority and discriminated against groups, his presidency tends to be much more positive. This is especially true with regards to women. FDR’s wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, was a strong, powerful woman, who used her connections to create a political role for herself, despite the typical limitations of women during the early-mid 20th century. Despite the lack of love in and ultimate failure that was their marriage, the Roosevelts had a very close relationship socially and politically, and the belief that woman were apt with regards to politics was clearly not just held by Eleanor. Franklin Delano Roosevelt put women into his government in

The Roles of the First Ladies The people don’t get to vote for the president’s wife, nor are there any restrictions on her actions within the White House. The First Lady, a role only few have played. However, it is a role that has been changed and evolved over time due to social, political and economic changes in American history. Throughout American history the role of the First Lady has evolved from hostess and volunteer, to activist, than reformer.

When George Washington envisioned the potential of America, he saw a country where the people would be free and connected by their desires to be free. America no longer looks the same as it did two-hundred and forty years ago. As the country approaches election day, the people must decide which presidential candidate will be better suited for the country: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Donald Trump has forty-two percent of the population backing him, however, he should not be president. Donald Trump should not be president because he does not want to uphold the requests of the man who built America. He does not care about the people of America, including women, who make up over half of America’s population. Donald Trump refers to women as sexualized objects whose main responsibilities are to fall at the feet of men. One one particular instance, Donald Trump was quoted as saying “You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. But she’s got to be young and beautiful.” To him, women are not equal to men; people cannot be free if they are not equal.

Admittedly, Hilary Clinton has spoken around the world about the challenges that women have faced. However, it is the continued struggle of American women that inspires and fuels her passion and fight for equality in this male-dominated culture. Also, while married to bill Clinton who was actively involved in women’s right, Hilary advocated for a standard of equality that embrace all colors and cultures. . Clinton establishes ethos when she states, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn

The political arena is a tough place to be part of, especially during a campaign. Your opponent and their supporters are constantly watching your every move with the hopes that you will make a mistake, or that somebody will find some detrimental dirt on you. Now imagine also being a woman, not only will you have to face the hardships that male candidates cope with but you will also have to handle the adversity based on your gender and the stereotypes that go along with being a female. Women have to be prepared to confront the fact that they may not even be wanted in that setting. For example Margaret Carlson stated,

In the midst of the 2016 election, First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama gave a speech in New Hampshire regarding the candidates. Donald Trump was facing Hillary Clinton; and in support, “Michelle Obama presented a Speech On Donald Trump’s Alleged Treatment Of Women.” As stated in the title, Trump had recently made rude remarks regarding women, and Michelle Obama was using this as a learning lesson for anyone looking to vote for Trump. She made it a point to vote for Hillary by not only stating why not to vote for Trump, but also listing her many accomplishments throughout her lifetime. Michelle Obama was able to create an effective and persuasive speech by strongly stating Trump’s wrongdoings, passionately listing Clinton’s achievements, and frightening us of the possible future for our children.
