Jessica Hoang  Professor Dunigan  English 100  14 th May 2018  Change Sexism is defined as discrimination or prejudice based on one’s gender and its traditional stereotypes. It could also be seen as a belief that one sex is more important than the other. This belief places restrictions on what males and females can and should do. It’s level of severity varies in different cases, regardless, it still parallels the unacceptable concept of inequality. Sexism can affect anyone at any time, however, prior to the 21 st century, this idea was created as a way to shine light on the oppression that women and girls, especially, were facing at the time. There are many factors in which contribute to the unequal treatment of certain individuals based on their gender; some are from the differences of the social constructed roles in society while others come from biological differences.These factor are shown through different genres of literature all throughout history. The mar...

Jessica Hoang 3/27/2015 4A Jim Crow Essay             Did you know there are currently more slaves today than at any time in history? Well there are and what do you think about when you hear the word slavery? I think of African Americans. I’ve been hearing things about how they were enslaved, how badly they’ve been treated, and how they were discriminated about since elementary school. Discrimination is a treatment of making a distinction in favor or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category and Jim Crow is the act of discrimination. African Americans did many things like sit-ins, demonstrations, and protests to influence people to stop discriminating and many were killed but many succeeded. It was individuals, groups and public opinion that ultimately led to federal legislation that outlawed discrimination because an excerpt from “He Had a Dream” by Coretta King, the “Segregation At All Cause” v...

Jessica Hoang Ms. Duran English11 Honors 22 March 2016  Moving forward             For hundreds of years, the government has been adding, changing, and removing laws numerous times. However, the process of changing the law is not quick nor is it easy. Most of the time, change requires endless efforts of raising awareness to gain support, proposing bills, petitioning, and many more. Martin Luther King Junior was a transcendentalist who promotes the idea of large scale protest resistance to unjust laws in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” In his writing, he touched on the subject regarding the importance of one’s moral responsibility by standing up for the rights that they are entitled to when those rights are violated. The awareness that the Civil Rights Movement desperately needed at the moment was brought by Dr. King’s responding letter. Despite the fact that society is moving in the right direction with th...

I am from purses, from Pink and pedicures.  I am from the trips to dance lessons. (Sweaty, painful, they weren’t just about pretty hair and makeup.) I am from the “We can do it!” the 11 by 14 poster whose message I live by   with everything I do. I’m from bedazzled bows and uniforms,           from Twisters and Worlds. I’m from the 3 hour practices           and the days off, from “Don’t get mad, get better.” I’m from Friday night’s games           with blue and red poms poms           and the National Anthem. I’m from SaiGon pho and rice. From the English as second language classes           to Vietnamese-English dictionary, the family I left for a brighter future. There’s a dusty album not fully...
