Personal Narrative: I Hate The Culture Of Children

Hate can be a such a powerful word. “Hate has endurance capability in what it may inspire the human sprite to suffer and to sustain” (Thurman). Children do not know what hate is. It is through their innocence that they must personally learn it from someone. People thrive from hate; it is

Regardless of one’s views on the topic of contraception, Margaret Sanger’s Woman and the New Race helped to break new ground through encouraging women to take control of their bodies. Early in her writing, Sanger brings up overpopulation and how women’s primary role as mothers have contributed to this issue. “While unknowingly laying the foundations of tyrannies and providing the human tinder for racial conflagrations, woman was also unknowingly creating slums, filling asylums with insane, and institutions with other defectives. She was replenishing the ranks of the prostitutes, furnishing grist for the criminal courts and inmates for prisons. Had she planned deliberately to achieve this tragic total of human waste and misery, she could hardly have done it more effectively.” This artfully formed passage shows the passion behind Sanger’s beliefs. While on the surface it may seem that she is attacking women, the point of her idea is to frame the passive nature of women in Western Society up to this point.

“To the woman who wishes to have children, we must give these answers to the question when not to have them.”. This was an eloquent quote from Margaret Sanger that she delivered in her book, Women and the New Race. Margaret was a very prominent feminist and she believed that women should be educated by knowing they have the right to control what happens with their body. This person is considered, by Time Magazine, to be one of the most influential individuals of the 20th century, mostly due to her role sex education, birth control activism, and also for her writings pertaining to those issues. This is why Margaret Sanger was such an important individual. She changed course for women’s rights by advocating the legalization of the use of contraceptives

She isn’t just against it because she thinks it's so stupid and/or careless, she seems to have a strong awareness that a simple act of carelessness that leads to a pregnancy could ruin her life. She also points out the fact that it simple adds to the issue of overpopulation, which is both a mature and quirky observation, but it also reflects on the

Betty Rollin asserts in her article "Motherhood: Who Needs It?" the prejudice women face deriving from societies unwritten laws. The unwritten laws are described as the Motherhood Myth:"The idea of having babies is something that all normal women instinctively want and need and will enjoy doing they just think they do." Society believes the drive to have babies is emplaced on women since birth. But in fact, the experiences a women has shapes her to have babies not some biological magic. This biological idea is similar to saying that all men want to work and put food on the table because they were born with the drive. No one person has similar experiences in life.

Jeffrey indicates how women who are not ready to have a baby, their first instinct is to have an abortion. Many of these women don’t think of the consequences that can happen to them in the long run. One of the risks they end up getting is breast cancer. Most abortions in today’s society are from teenagers but these girls don’t know once they get older there is a 50% chance they will get cancer at age 45. Sometimes women after having an abortion aren’t able to have kids anymore since they have to scar in the urine. They should really think twice before committing or agreeing to something. This related to my thesis because even if you think everything went okay in an abortion there are future consequences.

"Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servant hood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves and enjoy doing their jobs as mothers." (Stanley) . According to Betty Rollin 's essay, "Motherhood: Who Needs It?", Rollin argues that mothering, preconceived as a biological necessity, is in fact, a psychological desire. Rollin quotes psychiatrist Dr. Richard Rabkin: "Women don 't need to be mothers any more than they need spaghetti... But if you 're in a world where everyone is eating spaghetti, thinking they need it and want it, you will think so too." (Rollin 102) Although one 's society may have the power to influence his or her eating habits, a mothers desire to have children is an entirely different issue. Many women often want to have children and go through motherhood because of social pressure, to please their spouse, and to be "happy".

When you tell a toddler that they can’t have a cookie, even though they initially did not care about whether or not they could consume the cookie, suddenly they cannot stop thinking about that cookie they can no longer have. This is natural human response occurs in adults as well as children. So as you would expect, although 47% of women have declared themselves pro-choice (Saad "Americans Misjudge U.S. Abortion Views"), according to a study in 2011, only 1.7% of women aged 15–44 had an abortion (Jones and Jerman "Abortion Incidence and Service Availability In the United States, 2011"). These statistics show that even though most women who support the pro-choice movement are unlikely to have an abortion, they still believe that those women who choose to have an abortion should have the right to make a decision for her own body. A woman should have the right to make choices for her own body because separation of church and state prevents religion from being used as a way to limit women 's rights and no one, especially not men or the government, is as qualified as a medical professional when it comes to making medical recommendations and diagnostics. Even though there could be an argument that fetal personhood is subjective based on religion as to whether or not abortion can be considered murder, philosopher, Immanuel Kant can dispute that argument with his moral theory on what makes someone human.

What is culture? Culture is the idea of what is wrong or right, the concept of what is acceptable within our society. Culture serves us as a guide, taking us to the "right way" and helping us to make sense of things that surrounds us. There are many different cultures around the world. A lot of them are similar in specific ways and others are just completely different, this difference explains why we think that people from different backgrounds are "weird".

She does this in order to protect her unborn child from the man's ignorance. When their relationship is on its way to evolve, the man is unwilling to further it. Instead he wants the girl to have an abortion against her will so that their relationship can stay the same as it has always been. However, the girl realizes that she cannot go on with this man, instead she has to break free. In order to do this she has to become a strong confident woman, and she does so by separating herself and figuring out what she wants for herself. Women today still struggle with the gender stereotypes, but society as a whole is progressing towards equality between mothers, father, men and

Most of my life I have been surrounded by children especially my cousins, nieces and nephews.

Abortion has been around since a lot of years in every inhabited corner of the globe. It has always been accepted as a means to prevent the suffering of both woman and potential child. It has been practiced widely in every society for many reasons including famine, war, poverty, overpopulation, or simply because a woman felt she was not ready for a child (Whitney 40). No one ever questioned a woman’s right to this procedure till the 1800’s. During this era of change people began to turn their attention in a new direction, the fetus. They began to protest abortion as cruel, inhumane, and murderous. Abortionists who were once revered and depended upon were scorned and threatened. Though abortions still happened with regularity, they were kept silent and seen as a matter of shame. “Over the next hundred years, public sentiment for fetus continued to rise until the inevitable happened in America during the early 40’s; Abortion was made illegal.” (Cohen 17). The pro-life supporters had succeeded in saving the lives of innocent babies who would have been slaughtered for the convenience of selfish, ignorant and irresponsible women. This new law had made women actually settle down and raise families or give birth to beautiful children. We all know that, it has been proven time to time throughout history that the human spirit will not allow prohibition. Something inside us feels the need to strike out at that, which restrains us and holds us from the

Not only are woman subjected to society norms based on their personality characteristics, but also on their life choices and “domestic responsibilities” questions arise for woman like “who will care for you children and husband”. Montague Kern and Paige P. Edley state that women will continue to be “criticized for abandoning their traditional family roles” (1). This topic is not something that is brought up to their male counterparts. I don’t believe I have ever heard a man be questioned on who was going to assume the responsibility of raising their children. So until society genuinely accepts that raising children and other domestic issues are shared endeavors, then women will continue to face this barrier. (Robson, 208)

In my Vietnamese culture, misbehavior is often a reflection of the parent. So when A child misbehaves others believe that it is the fault of the parents not of the child. Adults usually view children role as total obedience to the parents. The ultimate sign of disrespect to an elder is a child’s behavior.
