The article published by “USA Today” talks about a african american woman named Sandra Bland who was pulled over for a traffic violation, put in jail, and two days later “supposedly” committed suicide while in jail. Sandra was on her way to a church gathering, when she was pulled over by a white police officer. She was pulled over and the police officer kept asking her to put her cigarette out. When she refused to put the cigarette out the police officer kept asking her to step out of the car. She was asking the question, “ what does this have to do to anything, if you're going to give me a ticket just give it to me and we can both get going.” The police officer then said he would drag her out the car if she didn't throw her cigarette out and

In the editorial, “When troops worry about their kids’ schools our military suffers.”, author Jim Cowen in the Washington Post, was writing about how the readiness of our military suffers because our service men and women feel that their child’s education is suffering by taking jobs and assignments. These military families are moving from base to base with every new job/assignment and their children run the risk of either falling behind in these new schools or being ahead. This effects how our military is operating because, they feel like their families are not being taking care of properly. In the editorial, a recent survey conducted by his organization, The Collaborative for Student Success, along with the Military Time

Americas feel all superior to other countries because we have freedom, civil disobedience, and are given all the necessities to prosper. If so, why are American who live in the lower income areas has a shortage of healthy foods at their disposal? Kristy Blackwood and Iris Mansour acknowledge the clear fact to why a called a first-world country has millions of people struggle with not having the access to the suitable food to help combat the issue of obesity in the nation. In “Transforming Food Deserts and Swamps to Fight Obesity” an article that appeared in The Huffington Post, by journalist Kristy Blackwood argue how access to healthy produces in not prevalent in low-income neighborhoods, which are highly dominated by Blacks and

In addition, over consumption affects children’s visual and auditory development. This imbalances the other five developments and will cause an overload of problems. In the Huffington Post, Rowan explains how because of violence children encounter in, not just television but also video games, will enhance increased breathing and heart rate. This indicates a variety of serious diseases and disorders, such as hypertension and ADHD. Because of the overuse of media, it has affected the child’s overall neurological developments and can cause long term effects in their fragile

In the article by the Onion, the Onion displays the rise of a prison firm as an ingenious success story. By the clever use of satire and overstatements about the company’s work, he achieves the purpose of over-glorifying a simple government corrections group while highlighting the need for prison reform. The articles uses plenty of satire and sarcasm to achieve his purpose.

There is inequality between men and and women in things like STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Over the years inequality has gotten better in education but it still occurs in this program. According to an article in Maclean’s magazine, in Canada there are fewer women earning PhD’s in Science than the UK and United States of America. Young women need to be encouraged to strive for positions in the workforce that only young men typically strive for. The science and engineering classes can be intimidating, so more should be done to influence

As a woman who goes to a large university with an abundance of peers who are like me and are looking to enter fields like this, the topic of discussion is heavily important to me for obvious reasons. However, it is also important for the general public to become aware of such under-represenation in such fields because everyone needs to do their fair share of preventing this issue going forward from employers to professors to parents and all the way back to students who will eventually be workers in the STEM industry. Everyone needs to recognize the importance of including more women in these fields in order to make necessary progress occur.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 guarantees protection from workplace discrimination for individuals of all ages, sexes, disabilities, genetic information, colors, races, religions, and national origins; however, policy differs by state. Thirteen of fifty states have no protection, while only nine out of fifty have advanced policies. According to The Huffington Post, “Alabama doesn’t have any workplace protection laws” (HuffPost Partner Studio).

Before women to get more involved in the STEM fields women first have to go and get degrees in STEM undergraduate programs. One way to help change this is the lack of female role models. Girls need role models to show that they can be successful in STEM fields. If there are such strong gender stereotypes it might be discouraging women from pursuing STEM education and STEM jobs. It is complicated to get young women role models because the people who are part of the hiring team said that were less likely to say they would hire the female applicants overall and that they would offered them lower salaries and fewer mentoring opportunities. This is a problem because women will be less likely to want to get into these fields because they will have to work so much harder to get the same recognition as the males. Young girls will be more interested in getting into one of these fields where they fear comfortable. Young girls need a role model like Emily Roebling who studied math and science and became the chief engineer in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1860. Another reason that girls are less likely to pursue these majors is gender stereotyping, and less family-friendly flexibility in the STEM fields. Across all STEM fields, female PhDs have lower rates of patenting and entrepreneurship than do male PhDs. This difference is most pronounced in physics, astronomy and the computer sciences, in which women earned only 1 in 5 PhDs. There is a need to encourage and support women in

The force of societal stereotypes is a large part of this gap. Instead of joining STEM careers, the most common careers among women are secretaries, nurses, and elementary and middle school teachers (Mandell). This truly illustrates that when well-rounded, talented women have the choice, they are inclined to delve into the field in which society expects them to belong. In this way, the stereotype of women not being involved in STEM is forcing less women to be involved in these fields. The deficiency of women in technical fields, despite their well-roundedness and ability, can be directly related to unyielding cultural stereotypes that stigmatize women in supposedly masculine fields.

The STEM fields are diverse and evolving constantly, with the advancement of civil rights in regards to women as well as the education of the public to this issue, it is likely that there will come a time when women and men can be equally represented in these disciplines. The importance of studying the gender gap between men and women in STEM is to learn how to confront gender biases in these fields. Conclusive evidence has shown that diversity in science will likely yield positive results. Findings from the Journal of the Royal Society Interface state that:

The Washington Posts response to the Suprem Court rulling is effective. It provides the audince with the information of the case, baground and history of same sex marrige rights in the U.S. in years leading up to the decission. The Washington post also provides some information about resistence held in some southern states, mostly Louisiana. The intendeded audence, the American people, was reached becuse the story was published in an American mainstream newspaper

Women have struggled in establishing their rightful place in the STEM environment because of this image of a family where the mother is the chief caretaker of the children. Society believes that a woman’s first priority

In this article on the Washington post website the writer talks about how the shooting at sandy hook elementary school increased the need for mental health needs. She presents the facts about states that cut funding for mental health in 2015. She says “only 23 states increased mental health spending in 2015, compared to 36 states in 2013 and 29 in 2014”. The article brings disturbing facts and questions to life on why we cut funding if there is people needing the help of professionals especially after a national tragedy.
