The issue goes further than not treating mental illness but, as well, physical illness. Bridgett Fogel was doing time for traffic violations as well as driving under the influence. She entered prison knowing she was pregnant, she had also reported server cramps and discharge, yet was deemed healthy with no further medical care. When her water broke, she had reportedly urinated herself, finally after nine hours in the prison infirmary she was transported to the hospital and gave birth. Her child never made it (Glazer, 2017). Her story is not the only one. Her situation is not the only one, child example. Diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIC/AIDS rates triple in prisoners, however, prisons often do not have the money for resources to treat

Laura Briggs starts the talk by discussing the Republican Party and the policies they have enacted over the years. She goes all the way back to Reagan and discuss Reaganomics and how it affected families on welfare. The discussion goes more in detail on how certain women of color were being attacked that were on welfare and denied access to it because they were single mothers. People believed that Clinton would reform a broken system and produce independence but that wasn’t true. Companies like Walmart, McDonalds and Kroger would hire these mothers and pushed them into low wage work. Walmart was the biggest employer getting employees enrolled in government programs and taking advantage of it. Additionally, she talks about offshoring

Michelle Alexander makes some very interesting claims in chapter 4. We can honor the validity of her clams because she has the proper credentials to argue her points. “Michelle Alexander is an associate professor of law at Ohio State University and holds a joint appointment at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity” (back cover of The New Jim Crow). In order to teach these laws, you must thoroughly understand the issues that you have studied and we know Alexander understands the laws very well because she is teaching them. As a result of studying and teaching these laws, she can see the flaws in these laws more clearly that we can.

Who doesn’t like reading “how to succeed” lists? Theoretically, they are a basic, straightforward guide with steps to achieve your aspirations. I used to wake up at 4 A.M because an article informed me that “all successful people wake up early.” Unfortunately, that routine only lasted for a week before I realized that I quite enjoy sleeping. After my failed attempt at imitating the sleeping habits of PepsiCo’s CEO, I began to think critically about whether I should be searching for advice from influential leaders. It seems logical to seek wisdom from powerful individuals, but their personal stories do not actually have that much in common. Similarly, the seemingly unrelated models that Sarah Lewis uses in The Rise contrast from Olympic sports to Astrophysics, but they all have one thing in common. Through her use of

In the CNN Opinion essay an argument is made about how parents, mothers especially, feel as if they are forced to have more than one child. In the world that we live in today, that seems to be a little far-fetched and untrue. Women are not forced to have more than one child, nor is it socially unacceptable to have an only child. We live in a society where women are more empowered than ever, thus they have many more responsibilities than just raising their children. Courtney Martin makes several arguments in her article about mothers only having one child.
