Discussion Question 3

Why we still need feminism because of many reasons. Feminism is a movement that provides awareness and information among the women. Among the awareness, glass ceiling, pay equality, domestic violence, sexually harassment and women in the politics are the main reason to keep the feminism exist. Even if women have been able to gain a foothold in the job market, a glass ceiling keeps them away from the highest levels of decision-making in society. For example, in 2017, women are still few in number on a board of directors. Pay equity is still a long way off. The poverty rate for single mothers and older women continues to grow, and women still earn only 77% of what their male counterparts earn.

Summary of ‘Why We Still Need Feminism’

According to Casey Cavanaugh, Feminists are not evil women who hate all men without exception. Feminists do not believe that women are better than men or that women, in comparison with men, deserve special privileges. They also do not believe that in any circumstance a woman is a victim. In order to call herself a feminist, a woman needs to agree with only one thought: men and women should have equal political, economic and social rights. Despite the fact that in the modern world more and more people are beginning to understand the true definition of feminism, the word still has a negative connotation (Jackson, 2001, May). In part, this is due to radical feminism, whose representatives openly say that they treat men with contempt, and the need for women to give birth (and even such an opportunity) is already putting her on a lower level. Fortunately, there are not many such girls.

Response

I believe feminism is not a gender issue at all. And of course this is not a question about the confrontation of men and women. This, if you look, the problem of all mankind, which needs to be solved so that a woman behind the wheel of a luxury car is not treated with disdain (because she is quite capable of earning it), and a man who does all the housework is not considered mumble and henpecked.

Discussion Question 3.6

oThese devices are appropriate for the audience and purpose because it shows the direct relation with the audience. The author’s goal is to approach every person of American society holding the credit card. If it is written for the academic audience, it shouldn’t be written in the informal language.

o The author uses the explanation of processes, analysis of cause and effect of using the credit card in the society is the main concept of the essay. Yes, I believe it is effective as it persuades the audience about the use of credit card.

Discussion Question 7.1

The authors present differing views on the validity of using Wikipedia in an academic environment. I am agreed with the Neil L. Waters’ essay because there is no system that guarantees the veracity of the information. Many people can collaborate with articles for the encyclopedia, but we cannot assure that their authors are specialists in the subject. The publications are collaborative and this suggests that volunteers help each other to give quality information, however almost anyone can intervene and edit. The support offered by the editorial process: review, correction and arbitration of academic articles are not fulfilled in Wikipedia. Mark A. Wilson's essay is in support of Wikipedia which is not seems logical.

Discussion Question 4.1

oYes, it is true that trend in modern society is for ascribed statuses to become less important because everyone is more proud of prestige and money than being of race and religion.

oFacebook and other media is important in defining the statuses as they help they people to show what they are doing, where are they and etc.

oin my social media, achieved status is emphasized more than the ascribed status. Virtual communication has long become an everyday thing. But through a computer monitor, laptop or other device, it can be difficult to express the whole gamut of feelings that have overwhelmed you. Yes, the words will be written and understood, but sometimes there is a lack of an emotional hue, which will fully convey information to other people.

Discussion Question 4.2

oSocial expectation of the group has a great impact on my behavior and self-identity I used to impress by the acts of my family and friends. I used to act according to the social expectation, for example, I used to wear clothes according to the social norms.

o

Social conformity pressure to adjust to the group reduces creative expression. Consequently, it would be people with low social conformity who, more likely, would generate creative solutions as normative compliance had less effect on them. However, social compliance can increase creative performance. Think, for example, in the case where the group pressure is directed, precisely, towards the generation of creative ideas. That is to say, that the norms of the group were oriented towards creativity, pressuring its members to be creative in their approaches and solutions provided.

oPeople tend to seek from the bottom up, and not vice versa. Everyone wants to live better and no one worse. Overtaking each other, we rush upward - where there is more power, privileges and benefits. Some see a better life in communion with the spiritual, others - with the material (Newman, 2018). The social hierarchy can be represented in the form of a pyramid, built on the basis of a number of laws. The first law: the number of vacancies located below is always greater than the number of vacancies located above.

oThere are many examples that affects my life such as once I had bad grades in math subject, the behavior of the teachers really affects my personality. The teacher was rude to me. It really hurts my personality.
