The Pros And Cons Of Hillary Clinton

On November 8th, 2016, the United States will finally have its presidential election for the 45th President of the United States of America. This election will be a grating race between a number of political parties and their respective nominees. Two parties are more notable than the others, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Democratic Party has a well-known nominee; Hillary Clinton, who has served as secretary of state, and has been the senator of New York, she has also been the first lady of the U.S while her husband, former president Bill Clinton was in office (Hillary For America). Mrs. Hillary Clinton is mainly a candidate for president because of her experience and great attributes. Alongside Clinton is Mr. Donald J. Trump, who is the respective presidential nominee for the Republican Party. Donald Trump is a well-known billionaire real estate personnel, who rose up to his status due to his great business intellect (Donald Trump Biography). In like matter, there are other nominees for president; however, Trump and Clinton are the two that are most significant and one if not the other will eventually overtake the position as President of the United States. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are formidable

Condoleezza Rice was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1954 and was the child of a teacher and Presbyterian minister. Most of Rice’s younger years were spent enclosed around racism. She graduated from the University of Denver and Notre Dame. Rice then became a professor of political science. At Stanford, Rice became the first African-American and first woman to serve as provost of the university.

During a debate of Attorney General Jeff Sessions qualifications, Senator Elizabeth Warren was silenced under Rule XIX Section 2. The rule states “No Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.” According to the rules, Senator Warren was in clear violation and therefore appropriate. However there are two issues with this rule, one inherently partisan, the other ethical.

Women first gained the right to vote on August 26, 1920 with the 19th amendment was approved, giving women full voting rights. Fortified by the constitutional victory in 1920, the handful of new women in Congress embarked on what would become a century-long journey to broaden women’s role in government. In the intervening years, the drive for more women’s rights encompassed the lives of the next generations of women. Even today, women are still fighting for their rights and stand up against prejudice. On the forefront of this movement are our women congresswomen who speak on behalf of all women. When Hillary Clinton announced her presidential candidacy, controversial questions immediately surfaced about the role of gender in politics. Through Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008 and 2016, media is the principal propagator in showing bias and sexism.

Would you believe me if I told you that the person who is in charge of all the schools in the country isn't even qualified to be a superintendent, principal, or even a teacher? Well, it’s true. The presidential nominee and now approved Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, is not fit for this position. Although the DeVos family has provided many jobs for Michigan families with their businesses, this job should have been given to someone who has experience in the education field.

Women have come a long way ever since the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920 and thereafter with the Equal Rights Amendment Act in 1972 to the U.S Constitution. After decades of struggling and protesting, the 19th Amendment was passed and ratified to grant women the right to vote. Fifty-two years later worth of revisions and persistency, the Equal Rights Amendment was ratified in which it declared that everyone had both Human and Civil rights in the States regardless of sex. Not only did these amendments have an immense impact on the lives of women and sequentially with the rest of the citizens of this nation, but on the people of today’s century. Women have done a tremendous job in proving society wrong about the roles women are

Donald Trump announced on November 23, 2016, that he would appoint Betsy DeVos to be his pick to be the United States Secretary of Education, head of the Department of Education. Donald Trump promised his supporters that he would “drain the swamp”, but many argue that yet another cabinet choice, Betsy DeVos, contradicts this. While some might stipulate that Mrs. DeVos is not nearly as controversial as a Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions or Steve Mnuchin, opponents to DeVos state that she is easily as dangerous for the future of the nation, putting the next generation of young people at stake. Based on her performance in the recent Senate hearings and prior record, it is evident that Betsy DeVos is a controversial pick between Democrats and Republicans

Looking back with a historical lens, it’s evident that the fight for women’s rights has progressed in a step wise process. The nineteenth amendment opened a new door of opportunities for women to take advantage of. In modern times, the continued push for equal rights is evident through the fight for reproductive rights and equal pay. Even with the right to vote, women are still being under represented and out of control when it comes to their reproductive rights and in the workplace. Opposing beliefs regarding feminism have prevented the progression of more gender equality in the United States. What originally started as a plea for a political voice helped to shape the history of the nation. Women’s suffrage paved the way for countless groups and further feminist

This childhood statement has permeated our society, influencing our politics. From the birth of our nation, women have been encouraged to stay in their traditional gender roles. To quote one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, women would be "too wise" not to "wrinkle their heads with politics." Although women obtained the coveted right to vote during the suffrage movement in 1920, men still heavily dominated politics, and women were left without adequate representation regarding their issues. The effect of this longstanding trend can be seen today in controversies over Roe v. Wade, birth control, childcare, and the wage gap, and is the proponent behind the reemergence of feminism. Despite all the progress it

Our country needs everyone to vote, including women. For instance, if only men voted then women wouldn’t have a voice in our country. Back in 1848 women didn’t have any rights. From the Declaration of Sentiments written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton States, “He becomes, in marriage, for all intents and purposes, her master -- the law giving him power to deprive her liberty, And to administer punishment.”. From the example given it shows once women are married they lose all their rights and have no voice. Once a woman divorces her husband back in 1848 she would lose custody of her children and would be about to become a teacher of religion or be in medicine. Overall, we need women to voice their opinion to help our country, not just men.

For example, white woman should not gain privilege by race and should not be penalized by gender. Today the form of feminism poses a similar danger to a successful struggle to overcome sexism (Madle, 2015). For instance, in the upcoming presidential campaign we have a well-known female representing the Democratic Party. There are arguments to be made for and against Hillary Clinton as a candidate, but her race or gender should not be an influencing factor. A president should be chosen because they are a strong, influential leader that will do great things for America, not based on gender or

Nick Smith US History A Mr. Nance April 14, 2016 Pros and Cons of Hilary Clinton's Candidacy Hillary Clinton is a presidential candidate who is either loved or hated. Most people do not tolerate her, and some of her past fumbles have left her political reputation permanently scarred to some. Her voter base is more on the conservative side of the democratic party, and consists of the older generation.

As Chelsea Clinton said, a role model is important to have, and my personal role model is Audrey Hepburn, she is my role model because she focused on her career, donated her time to UNICEF, and she is devoted her life to compassion and kindness. An iconic actress and known philanthropist Audrey Hepburn is my role model because she devoted so much time to her family and was also successful in her career. Audrey Hepburn was not a woman who was satisfied with letting her husband earn a living, instead she was able to take care of herself and be successful in her field. Being a woman in her time, a time of cultural change, she may have helped to make that change in society that women are able to financially support themselves similar to men who had been supporting

In November of 2016, Americans will have a unique opportunity to vote for a woman for President for the first time. Many will not, for reasons related to her policies, her party, or even her past. But others will not solely because of her gender. In my opinion, gender, like race or sexuality, is irrelevant as a qualification for running for office. Others will disagree, and disagree rather forcefully. There will come a time when someone will tell me not to vote for this woman. When that time comes, will I be able to make my voice heard? Will I have the courage of my convictions?
