Shakespeare's play, "Macbeth", the characters defy their own gender norms by exhibiting traits of the opposite gender. Women are portrayed as villainous and men are portrayed as good. The women are dominant and the men, alternately Macbeth, are passive, since he is the victim to the women's manipulation. The women are not sensitive, rather they are more emotionless than the men. Though the play sets gender norms through the lines of the characters, these characters defy their own norms. For instance…

Men and Women were Created Equal Men are not superior to women, they are equal in every way. Although it is true that society has stereotyped women into traditional roles, this preconceived notion, is totally false. Action to promote the concept of equality in our society needs to be taken. Women have been fighting for equality for many decades. As a result of this battle, some amazing transformations have taken place amongst the female gender. Women have become educated and over the last few…

All Men are Not Created Equal Since the beginnings of our nation’s it has been implied that all people should be viewed as equals but the question is, are all people seen as equal? Our founding fathers wrote that all men were all one of the same. Everyone is familiar with Thomas Jefferson's famous quote," We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The passage claims that we are all equal but where is the proof that we are? It was stated in the Declaration of Rights…

A long time ago, much before mortals walked the earth, there were the Gods. Although this tale refers to one in particular, Poseidon. He was the youngest of three brothers, there was Zeus, the oldest, and then Hades, and Poseidon. Zeus was the God of the sky, Hades, the underworld, and Poseidon, the God of rain.

Our country is known for its diversity and claims of equality. “All men are created equal” is a phrase that is associated as an American ideology, though it is not a reality. Not everyone in our country is considered equal, mainly because of the barriers constantly constructed by those who believe to be superior to others. It is no secret that the controversial issue of race continues to strain our country as we pursue to achieve ultimate tolerance for all. To combat inequalities, we must identify…

A wise man once said everybody is created equally. Another wise man also said woman lie, man lie, but numbers don’t lie. Everyone has heard of the battle of the sexes and it’s always nice to have some friendly competition. But are men and woman really created equally? Is one born with a more advantage then the other?

everywhere. Women are joining this “third wave” movement to bring an end to the societal injustices that still plague the gender today (qtd. in Haslanger et al.). Feminism currently represents much more than it did in its infantile stage, having evolved to include relevant issues that affect every woman in today’s subordinating world.

principal of “all men are created equal”, would discriminate against women. In today’s society, the traditional roles, values, and thoughts placed upon women from prehistoric times still play a central part in the inequality women face every day. The day I no longer have to worry about what I’m wearing will label me as a “slut,” is the day that women will be thought of as more than just sexual objects. The day I can be praised for my brains instead of my beauty, it the day men and women will be considered…
