"The only thing she’s got going is the women’s card." Hillary Clinton is a former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady, making her one of the most qualified presidential candidates in U.S. history. Also Donald Trump goes on to say “Both men and women can be victims of sexual harassment in the workplace, though women make up nearly 80 percent of the victims. Trump believes that if a woman is harassed, she should leave the workplace. Also Trump thinks that women who pursue abortions should obtain "some form of punishment" if abortions become banned. In my opinion, Donald has something against women being that he bashes them every chance he gets. Also concerning African American Trump says “If Black lives don’t matter, then go back to Africa.” Donald Trump is using racism to rise to power while promising to make America “great again.” In my opinion, I got that he meant when America was segregated. Donald Trump has a lot of media influence tying back to chapter

The Unbearable lightness of choosing “Because you are in control of your life. Don't ever forget that. You are what you are because of the conscious and subconscious choices you have made.” -Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans, 2000 I personally agree with the writer Jon Spayde on all the aspects he has mentioned in this paper. The writer has discoursed various facets regarding the importance of alternatives in one’s life. But, a very significant point mentioned in this article is, that when a certain individual is in a position to make his own choices or take his own decisions he must keep in mind that he alone will not be the one to face the consequences, but many people will be a part of his decisions. So one must give a serious thought when making a choice, which may have an impact not just on one life but, on the lives of many others. Mr. Spayde points out the fact, that having a choice is the luxury of the privileged class. The unprivileged class cannot afford the luxury of choice. Now the situation is not that bad but we all know that they have limited choices and this lack of choice causes a problem for them in certain situations. According to my own experience, though the lack of choices may cause hurdles at times, still, there deficiency is sometimes ‘a blessing in disguise’. When a person is confined to a certain number of options he has no other way out, but to choose amongst them. This might be the making of an individual. Like we consider an example of a

| In any war story, but especially a true one, it’s difficult to separate what happened from what seemed to happen. (pg. 67)

Having a plethora of choice may appear to promote the freedom of individuals, but when the quantity of choices a person is required to make becomes overloaded, the pressure builds and that “sense of freedom” becomes a sense of entrapment. There are so many choices available that there are going to be both

During the early years of her life she completed studies at Wellesley College (1965-1969), Yale Law School with honors (1969-1973), and finished at the Yale Child Study Center to complete one post-graduation year of study (“Hilary Clinton Biography”, 2016). Her career began as she worked at the Children’s Defense Fund (1973) (Baird, 2016). In the fall of 1974 “she became a faculty member of the University of Arkansas Law School in Fayetteville” (“Hilary Clinton Biography”, 2016). She was later married in 1975 to Bill Clinton, a fellow Yale graduate who would later become the 42nd President of the United States, and has a daughter, Chelsea Victoria Clinton was born in 1980 (“Hilary Clinton Biography”, 2016). As time passed on Hillary became the First Lady of Arkansas (1979-1981, 1983-1992) while she chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee; co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families; and served on the boards of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Arkansas Legal Services, and the Children’s Defense Fund (“Hilary Clinton Biography”, 2016). She then served as the US First Lady (1993-2001) where her husband picked her to lead the Task Force on National Health Reform in 1993, but failed to make it to either house and was dropped in 1994 (“Hilary Clinton Biography”, 2016).

In this address Clinton uses a combination of all three to try to convince people of her being the right candidate for the job. Clinton’s rhetoric depends largely on the fact of her being relatable in comparison to the millionaire Trump who makes up the much envied American and criticized elite.

The notion of choice in an individual’s life is subject to constant questioning. We have what we like to call the freedom of decision-making, but often it simply seems like a facade. Many believe that one’s morals and ethics are solely responsible for the decisions they make, major or minor. Others attribute the external pressures surrounding them and societal factors as the facilitator of choices. Unquestionably, both personal characteristics and societal factors influence the the majority of choices of individuals everywhere. We must consider, however, that one plats more of a role than the other. Pieces of writing such as Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland, Michael Bess’ Choices Under Fire: Moral Dimensions of World War II, and Milton Mayer’s No Time to Think explore the idea of both influential aspects. Nonetheless, more influence can be attributed to societal factors and this idea is supported throughout all of the pieces of writing. Societal factors, for the most part, are composed of a plethora of external pressures that we either actively acquiesce to or subconsciously conform to. Societal factors play a much larger role for the average individual in regards to decision-making and this goes for individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs. This is shown in the lives of the Chambonnais, the Reserve Police Battalion, and the two famous experiments known as the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison

The question, "are bad choices and good choices equally likely to have negative consequences" suggests that making any choice will most likely to leave effect on other involved in. In other words, decisions have no good or bad quality, by the consequences define a fine decision-maker. In my opinion, people tend to choose authorized people with the least negative effects in the their success. Through out life and society, the evidence to support my viewpoint is pervasive.

Kingsolver goes on to even mention how her father’s demeanor has change in which he is “eager to vote for a women president”. Kingsolver directly goes into discussing Hillary Clinton’s character and endeavors in which she says “Hillary Clinton has honored the rules of civic duty and met the prerequisites for a candidate, bringing a lifetime of pertinent experience, an inquiring mind, a record of compassionate service and a sound grasp of our nation’s every challenge, from international relations to climate change; her stated desire is to work hard for our country and its future”. She even goes on to counter the opposing view in which she states “Her opponent has no political experience, a famously childish temperament, no interest in educating himself on any subject, a manifest record of shortchanging employees, bankrupting businesses, cheating on wives, dodging taxes and serving absolutely no one but himself. His mission is to elevate the self-regard of some Americans by degrading many others, including Muslims, Mexican immigrants, people with disabilities, residents of African-American communities, women he finds beautiful and women he does not.” According to Kingsolver’s point of view, Hillary Clinton is not even close to a “equivalent” of Donald Trump for “It’s even harder to

Of the many issues that Hillary is hypocritical on, the most striking are her views on the Islamic world. She has taken millions of dollars from Islamic countries that not only are fundamentally opposed to western values, but also sponsor terrorism. Also, these countries severely oppress women, and being gay is punishable by death. The Clinton Foundation has received millions of dollars from regimes including Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Morocco - all of which are Islamic theocratic monarchies. Hillary refuses to release any documentation about where the Clinton foundation money goes, which has led many to believe that it is a front to fund her campaign. Even if this is not true, Hillary is supposed to be a champion of women’s rights, as well as gay rights. However, she accepts donations from countries that treat women as second class citizens, as well as stone

When it comes to choice it always seems to be a love hate relationship: we hate making them, but we can’t live without them. Anyone can all look back to a time in our lives where they wish someone could just pick for us, or times when we wish there were more to choose from. All Americans have many choices, and it is such a part of our daily lives that we don’t even realize it. Barry Schwartz and Sheena Iyengar‘s TED talks bring up interesting ideas about choice, how people deal with them and their affects. They both state that although choice is good, it can also have negative effects. Schwartz explains what most people believe and experience with choice, while Iyengar shows cultural differences in choice making. Both Schwartz and Iyengar

The first topic that Zengerle talks about in his article is Bill’s role as ex-president. As ex-president, he writes books and builds museums to remember his accomplishments. Now, his wife, Hillary is running for president. Adjusting to being in the background of Hillary’s campaign was a huge challenge for Bill in 2008. One Democratic insider close to the former president characterized his background role this way: ”It’s hard for him. He’s the guy who’s used to batting cleanup, and suddenly someone says, ‘Just go over there and give me signs, and I’ll hit’” (qtd. In Zengerle). He has adjusted to that role much better in 2016, Zengerle reports. Zengerle shares an experience that Bill had with a student at Oakland. Her name was Emma. She asked Bill if her and her boyfriend could recreate the picture behind Rabin and Arafat with Bill. That was a famous shot with Clinton. He hesitated at first, but that quickly changed. He proffered a memory. Emma didn’t ask for a picture.

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

It’s war! – what else?” (P# 86) Fortunately for all parties involved, the conflict was soon resolved with a vote of majority, thus ending the war before it began and transitioning the tale into Pez’s happy

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.
