The Young Woman 's Christian Association

Christine Caine’s speech at Passion is geared toward ending modern-day slavery and sex trafficking, and she makes her argument through the rhetorical development of the Christian Identity. Caine seeks to encourage her audience to adopt Christian values to change communities around the world. In positioning herself as a Christian, Caine works to establish credibility by using the Bible, assuming her audience will find the embodiment of truth within her speech. Caine makes her argument without using any statistical information to center the focus of her argument on scripture. Through referencing this scripture and offering anecdotes, Caine’s position then becomes powerful by equipping her audience with the ability to become directly involved

When reading Lynn Japinga’s Essential Guide to Christianity and Feminism, there are many different lessons that you can take from it, ranging from lessons on what it means to be a feminist, what it takes to be considered a practicing Christian, and the many critics that both Christians and feminists face. Much like The Bible, the lessons you take depends on how you read it and what of your own knowledge and experiences you bring into the analysis. As someone who is on the forth year of sociology and gender studies programs, I went into the reading with a preconceived view on what it means to be a feminist and with knowledge of the potential dangers that women within Christianity face.

Reverend Samuel Kirkland, a New Light minister, had a long career as a missionary amongst Native Americans in upstate New York which began before the American War of Independence and continued into the 1790s. His extensive, detailed journals and his role in the founding of Hamilton College have ensured that Kirkland has become one of the most famous missionaries of the late eighteenth century; however, there were several other individuals and groups who were competing with Kirkland for the attention and souls of Native Americans in that area. Of one of those groups, Kirkland wrote: “A minute & just history of the Quaker undertaking, the bigotry, Superstition &partiality which masked almost every Stage of their progress I think would be highly

Jackson Katz’ Ted Talk attempts to investigate a solution for violence against women and men through gender equality. This video is created from the mindset of an American educator on gendered violence within workplaces, families, households, and schools. Katz refers to his hypothesis that the human brain’s cognitive structure is programmed to condemn the victim of the violence thus setting back the progression of eliminating gender violence. Katz dissects the fact that we have numerous amounts of technology to develop society’s knowledge of violence and analyzes the significance of brutality as a deeper sociological systemic complication.

The Women’s Christian Temperance Union was also founded in Ohio. They were founded in 1874. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union had somewhat of a mission statement. Their mission statement was, “Protection of the home. For God and Home and Every Land.” (WCTU) The WCTU wanted people to sustain abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. A white ribbon symbolized the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. The white ribbon symbolized purity. The group also had three watch words which were “Agitate, Educate, Legislate.” (WCTU) Women decided to crusade against alcohol in particular because of their lack of civil rights. Women were excluded from political meetings, which were sometimes held in saloons. “Today the WCTU is the oldest voluntary,

My own personal commitment to the Catholic Women’s League of Canada, “ rooted to gospel values,” and its motto, “God and Canada,” is to keep believing in God, never give up and to be grateful for what I have. For example, "God does not create lock without its key, and God doesn't give you problems without its solutions! Trust him." It is important to realize that everything that happens in life, God plans for something bigger and better to come out of all these painful encounters and that I should keep believing in God because he is helping me unfolded my future and keeping it bright. With this in mind, I should never give up on any goals in life because it means that we have this fear of not trying hard enough to reach

The CWLU was established in the late 1960s. The sixties were dominated by the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Protests, assassination of US President John F Kennedy. The 60s also saw the Cuban Missile Crisis and the first man landing on the moon. At the time, women were being sexually discriminated and had no rights whatsoever. They were treated less than men and basically couldn't do anything except for household work. They took a stand against being sexually separated from men. They formed the “Chicago Women’s Liberation Union” or the CWLU and many more groups and opportunities grew as the CWLU continued to expand. The CWLU was established after facing so much inequality, sexism, etc. They stood up for gender inequality and also strived for the

Domestic abuse is a serious ongoing situation that is occurring all around the world, and according to the Women’s Aid organization, they define this abuse as a “pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behavior” (2015). This violence can vary from aggressive behavior to sexual assault that occurs with their partner or family member. In most of the cases reported to officials, this is experienced by women and is continued by men, due to the fact that females are seen as the weaker link. So to advocate about anti-domestic violence, the Women’s Aid campaign made a billboard, with one simple goal. It was to see if anyone in the public passing by the enormous sign would notice what it showed or read the

This article is about a documentary. The components are based on the premise that violence against women is a direct consequence of patriarchal institutions that empower and privilege men over women. This was made to make visible the intimate violence and abuse that had been

The material presented in class was very informative. I would like to share a little background about myself. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology emphasis Victimology. Throughout my 2 years of undergrad all I studied was victims. After obtaining my degree I was offered a position at Valley Crisis Center. Valley Crisis Center is a non-profit organization that assists victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Overall I have 3 years learning and educating myself about victims and have 1 years working with this population, provided services and bringing awareness. My overall goal in life is to work with this population by providing counseling especially to children who have been sexually abused. Learning and discussing about domestic violence is important. I believe for many people this topic is taboo. From my knowledge for many years women were belittled by men. Women were seen lesser than men and were treated as slaves or seen as property. As mentioned in class back in the Angel Saxon time’s common law was established. This ludicrous law stated men could hit women with an object the size of their thumb. This to me is absurd, thankful feminist movement started to arise and fight for equality. Since Angelo Saxon times women have come a long way.
