Gloria Steinem Quotes Feminism, Writing, Activism

Feminist and journalist, Gloria Steinem has been a key figure in the womens movement since 1969. She founded Ms. magazine, starting in 1972. Her good looks and quick, humorous responses made her the medias favorite spokesperson for feminism, but she was often attacked by the radical elements in the womens movement for being too middle-class-oriented. She was an outspoken advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment and helped found the National Womens Political Caucus. Selected Gloria Steinem Quotations This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism. I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of possibility, with no history to guide them and a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond the words to express it.   [from the 1972 preview issue of Ms. Magazine] [About Ms. Magazines founding]  I backed into it. I  felt very strongly there should be a feminist magazine. But I didnt want to start it myself. I wanted to be a  freelance writer. Id never had a job, never worked in an office, never worked with a group before. It just  happened. I always wanted to be a writer. I got into activism just because it needed to be done. The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. Weve begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters. We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs. Women may be the one group that grows more radical with age. But the problem is that when I go around and speak on campuses, I still dont get young men standing up and saying, How can I combine career and family? Now we have the dreams and tools to move beyond words and history, beyond the possible to the imagined, and into a life both ancient and new, where we will look back to see our present dreams trailing behind us as markers of where we have been. [1994] Each of us has an inner compass that helps us know where to go and what to do. Its signals are interest, the joy of understanding for its own sake, and the sort of fear that is a sign of being in new territory -- and therefore of growth. A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after. Someone asked me why women dont gamble as much as men do, and I gave the commonsensical reply that we dont have as much money. That was a true and incomplete answer. In fact, womens total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage. We know that we can do what men can do, but we still dont know that men can do what women can do. Thats absolutely crucial. We cant go on doing two jobs. Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry. Most women are one man away from welfare. [or]  Most of us are only one man away from welfare. [the second is more likely the original] [About Geraldine Ferraros candidacy:] What has the womens movement learned from her candidacy for vice president? Never get married. [After her marriage at age 66 to David Bale]  If I had got married when I was supposed to have in my 20s, I would have lost almost all my civil  rights. I wouldnt have had my own name, my own legal residence, my own credit rating. I would have had to get  a husband to sign off on a bank loan, or starting a business. Its changed profoundly. If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isnt it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long? The truth is that, if men could menstruate, the power justifications would go on and on. Law and justice are not always the same. When they arent, destroying the law may be the first step toward changing it. Most womens magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers. I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I find moving beyond words. If the shoe doesnt fit, must we change the foot? The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off. Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself. A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space. The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government. Happy or unhappy, families are all mysterious. We have only to imagine how differently we would be described -- and will be, after our deaths -- by each of the family members who believe they know us. I dont breed well in captivity. Childbirth is more admirable than conquest, more amazing than self-defense, and as courageous as either one. Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father. The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizens skin. Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. One thing is clear: The human mind can imagine both how to break self-esteem and how to nurture it -- and imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual. For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies cant possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual womans body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique. If you let Barnum Bailey interpret a plot by Stendhal, it might turn out to be something like the 1972 Democratic convention. [About Dr. Ruth Westheimer:]  She has become the  Julia Child  of sex. [About Marilyn Monroe:]  [I]ts hard for men to admit that a sex goddess didnt  enjoy sex.... Its part of the desire to believe she was murdered -- the same cultural impulse that says if shes a  sex goddess she had to have enjoyed sex doesnt want to believe she killed herself, doesnt want to accept her  unhappiness. If you add her years of movie stardom to the years since her death, Marilyn Monroe has been a part of our lives and imaginations for nearly four decades. That’s a very long time for one celebrity to survive in a throwaway culture. When the past dies there is mourning, but when the future dies, our imaginations are compelled to carry it on. Planning ahead is a measure of class. The rich and even the middle class plan for future generations, but the poor can plan ahead only a few weeks or days. Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I dont feel I should be doing something else. I think we deserve to be proud that so many Smith girls of the 1950s survived educations that trained us to fit the world, or at least to fear the conflict that comes from trying the make the world fit us. From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence -- and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified. No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office. Living in India made me understand that a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking a white skin makes people superior, even though the only thing it really does is make them more subject to ultraviolet rays and wrinkles. The only thing I cant stand is discomfort. For much of the female half of the world, food is the first signal of our inferiority. It lets us know that our own families may consider female bodies to be less deserving, less needy, less valuable. Evil is obvious only in retrospect. The first wave was about women gaining a legal  identity, and it took 150 years. The second wave of feminism is about social equality. Weve  come a long way, but its only been 25 years.... Women used to say, I am not a feminist, but.... Now they say, I  am a feminist, but....

Application Of Teaching And Curriculum Essay - 771 Words

Ranging from children with disabilities to children with gifts and talents, many classrooms are made up of students with different abilities. Therefore, the process of teaching and curriculum must be used to meet the needs of the students. â€Å"I am confident that virtually all people have enormous potential for something. The problem is to find some way of unearthing what that is and to make it possible for them to excel in the things they find most interesting.† Benjamin S. Bloom, 1985 There are few people in the history of education that have had greater effect than Benjamin Bloom. During a career of more than 50 years, his research and writing guided the development of many educational programs making it possible for teachers to have all students learn well. Bloom s contributions to education began during his years in the Office of the Board of Examiners at the University of Chicago, where he worked from 1940 to 1959. Much of his work at this time focused on the relationships among methods of instruction, educational results, and measurement of those results. This work led to his first book in 1950 and eventually to the work for which he is best known, the Taxonomy of Educational Goals, Handbook I: The Thi nking-related Domain. In 1959 Bloom spent a year at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.

Etheopia and New Opportunities- myassignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about theEtheopia and New Opportunitiesfor Telecommunications. Answer: After the GDP increased with population growth, Ethiopian government followed the model of state led development. It invested in power, telecommunications and transportation that instigated economic growth. It has taken initiatives to protect its local companies such as media and retail sector and promote manufacturing of pharmaceuticals sector. The government has also reserved financial sectors for domestic investment and state banks have hold most of the bank assets. Ethiopian government has attempted to attract the local manufacturers and encourage export system that substitute import. Tax and customs exemptions have permitted the investors transmute their capital as well as profit into dollar. Pros and cons: despite the fact that Ethiopian government has made policies to attract the private companies and foreign investors, they are facing competitions in the fields of achieving government tenders, custom clearing and navigating government bureaucracy. The problem in transportation and telecommunications still continue. Frequent power cuts have infringed the production (Quelch, Sunru, 2015). In spite the country provides a high supply of workforce, but skilled and trained labors are scarce as well as costly. Limited competition in market has proved to be beneficial for the multinational companies but they do not have brand awareness among the consumers. The governments policy to restrict the imported goods to domestic factories has prevented the way to invest in Ethiopia. Building trust with customers is difficult and public sector corruption has been reported high which may affect investment. CareCo: The company has global recognition in manufacturing personal care products. Initially the company had entered the Ethiopian market through local agent. This method served the company with low-risk and low-cost in production which previously helped the company to increased its profitability. Now the company proposes for capturing the increasing purchase power of Ethiopian consumers utilizing its popularity. ShoeCo. The company used import-only strategies to increase its profitability through local manufacturing as well as local importers. Now the company wants to build an economic zone so that it can utilize the low cost local labor force to get exemption from taxes. MedCo. As the Ethiopian government has taken drive to promote pharmaceutical manufacturing, the company has proposed to establish independent pharmacies (Quelch, Sunru, 2015). Previously, MedCo had no propriety products and provided only the private labeled goods with local packaging. Now with the economic growth, the expenditure on health per capita will also rise, which has made the company to introduce wholly owned subsidiary. CareCo: The company has established its subsidiaries that have enabled it to build local manufacturing facilities and invest its own people to grow the local business. This will help it to reduce the retail prices compared to its local competitors, expand its reach to more people rather than only urban customers. Local manufacturing will take time to start operating fully in the country which may prove to be costly in competitive market. ShoeCo: it had established long term contracts with individual distributors but now it proposes for engaging 2000 local workers as employees. This will enable them to be exempted from corporate taxes for five long years and the company will import all capital equipments duty free. It wants to utilize the low cost labors available in Ethiopia but they will have to invest on training them, properly. MedCo: the company visions to utilize the governments policy of promoting healthcare sector by assisting the pharmaceutical manufacturing. The3refore, the company tries to enter the Ethiopian market by establishing fully owned subsidiary like CareCo. Despite the companys growth has slowed down due to international disturbances and business maturing process, it finds Ethiopia as a promising market which will grow within a decade. The new policies for building new healthcare system, clinics and pharmacies will help the company to introduce its products, know the demands and build needed partnerships (Quelch, Sunru, 2015). Like ShoeCo, this company therefore will be able to import equipments duty free and will be tax free for five years. The competitors of MedCo are china and India based manufacturers therefore, the company may face a tough competition in Ethiopian market. CareCo forecasts growth of 15% in the next year as the income of people are growing and they are willing to spend on personal care products. Therefore, the company can pay back within 5 years approximately. ShoeCos low cost input method will enable it to payback approximately within in 4 years. MedCo will definitely pay back within 10 years because their income is growing 15% to 20% per annum. All the companies have promising future in Ethiopian market. The governments market enter policies must be well utilized and cross-cultural aspects must be recognized by the companies. Reference: Quelch, John A., Sunru Yong. (2015).

The American Struggle (Paper over Social Class Based on John Q)) Essay Example

The American Struggle (Paper over Social Class Based on John Q)) Essay Why social class? Many Americans want to know the answer to this question, but is it possible to really answer the question to â€Å"why† we have social class? It is easy to explain â€Å"what†, but it’s â€Å"why† that stumps us every time. Social class is the division or classification among people in a society. In America we have the upper class (rich), the upper and lower middle classes, and the lower class (poor). Americans base the social classes mainly upon annual income, and education. I have discovered an excellent example that highlights the struggle of our society’s lower class and also the dominance of our upper class. My chosen example is the movie John Q. John Q is about a lower class family who struggles with insurance companies and the health system. John Quincy Archibald and Denise Archibald are the father and mother of Michael â€Å"Mike† Archibald. One morning during Mike’s baseball game he was sprinting to second base and suddenly falls to the ground into a seizure. John and Denise frantically call an ambulance and rush to the hospital. After thorough testing John and Denise Archibald receive the frightening news that Mike has a bad heart. The only choice Mike has is to have a heart transplant or he will die. We will write a custom essay sample on The American Struggle (Paper over Social Class Based on John Q)) specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now We will write a custom essay sample on The American Struggle (Paper over Social Class Based on John Q)) specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer We will write a custom essay sample on The American Struggle (Paper over Social Class Based on John Q)) specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer John has extremely low income and the hospital tells him his insurance is not good enough to get his son’s name on the transplant list. John Archibald does everything in his power to earn enough money just to get Mike’s name on the list but after the first few weeks pass the hospital tells him it is too late. They are sending Mike home to die. Denise calls John and tells him to â€Å"do something†. That is exactly what John did except he was forced to go to extremes. Making sure John had all the right professionals, and the right equipment on one side of the hospital he locked it down and held that one side hostage. By doing this he was hoping they would give in and put Mike’s name on the transplant list, but it was a bigger journey than he thought. At first the hospital tried to trick him by â€Å"telling† him they put Mike’s name on just so he would surrender. John was smarter than they thought. John had a gun and one bullet in which he intended to kill himself with so his son could have his heart. Just in the knick of time to save both John and Mike’s life, a perfect heart with the same blood type was available for transplant, so the heart was given to Mike. John then surrendered and was sent to jail for 3 years. This movie was a perfect example showing the struggle the lower class faces in the health system. All because John didn’t have the hospitals preferred health insurance the hospital was willing to send Mike home and let him die. Why would an establishment that makes so much money be willing to let an innocent child lie on his deathbed? Because that is the way our world works. If we did not have restrictions on healthcare and on who can and cannot receive certain health care, we would not be able to save the people who actually worked hard enough in life to qualify. Do I think it is right to let someone die because of money? No, but that is only my opinion. If someone is going to die, but they can be saved, everything that can possibly be done to save them should be done and the bill will be paid afterwards. Not only did John struggle with health care and the insurance company, but also he struggled with respect. The professionals of the hospital talked down to him and gave him no hope or encouragement. They did not talk to the wealthy patients this way. This shows that money plays such a big role in our status. Being upper class opens a lot more doors for an individual, and they can keep climbing the social class ladder. Nowadays it is even harder to bring yourself to the top. Sometimes it takes more than a bachelors degree to be higher than middle class. Over the years college tuition gets higher and loans get harder to find. Money is pushing many American’s down the social class ladder so far that they can never find their way to the top. Along with the struggle with health care and respect, both the lower and middle class struggle with inflation. Prices on anything and everything are skyrocketing. Employee’s hours are slowly getting cut at work. Minimum wage is staying at a constant. All of these things are affecting our lives in a negative way. Many families have had to foreclose their homes and file bankruptcy. Kids have a hard time finding financial aid for school, and it is preventing them from trying to get an education. You would think everyone in the world would open there eyes and see what is happening and try to fix it, but we, the human race, are encouraging our fate; the end of ime. December 22, 2012 is the universal prediction of the end of time. It is up to us to change that, but we are too ignorant to work together and try to mend the damage we have done. Why did I mention the end of time? Because, in a deeper sense, it ties in with social class. The division among people has given us a reason to judge others. Some upper class citizens feel high and mighty compared to the lower class. This is also where s tereotyping comes from. We have nicknames like trailer trash, white trash, and nigger. These names come from the classification the human race made for themselves. John Quincy Archibald faced all of these problems, and that is why his situation serves has an excellent example. All in all, social class will open doors for some, and close doors for many. Till the end of time we will always see people struggling to live a comfortable life, and the people that struggle will have children more likely to struggle. Life is a never-ending series of events and choices leading up to success or failure, and that success or failure is only determined by one thing. The human race.
