"What Women See When They See Hillary" - Article Critique
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. America's unprecedented political maneuver of having a woman run for the nation's highest office is a clear indication of just how far the United States has come with regard to social and political progress. Hillary Clinton has indeed created a legacy for feminists and naysayers alike merely by having her name placed on the ballot. This is not to say, however, that just because a female candidate has finally made it into the United States history books that she is necessarily the right person for the job.

10-point Plan To Bring Security And Peace To Homosexuals, Feminists And Abortion Supporters
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. People from all walks of life must endure social intolerance at one time or another; however, certain groups face prejudicial persecution on a regular basis. What is the answer for gays, lesbians, feminists and proponents of abortion that would bring a sense of peace and security in this lifetime? Is it too much to hope for that social bias begin to wane in exchange for a more understanding and open-minded world? Indeed, what lies at the foundation of all intolerance – be that toward homosexuals, feminists or those who support abortion – is a combination of fear and ignorance, an alliance that not only precludes the chance for security and peace but one that also encourages just the opposite.
