Final Blog Post: Women Supporting Women

For my final blog post, I am going to write about something that was briefly mentioned in our final class discussion. The topic I am going to elaborate on is “women support women.” Growing up as being the only girl out of my three brothers really showed to me how important it is for women to be supporting women. Friendship is the most evident advantage of women supporting women. This is necessary to human satisfaction, and for a woman, it can be a crucial component of leading a balanced existence. The crucial sounding board to go over a personal difficulty is frequently other women. In order to participate in the women support women movement, which is all about positivity and female solidarity, you must share a photo of yourself in black and white and nominate other women to do the same with the hashtag #challengeaccepted. 

International Women's Day: Shop these 14 sales to support women-owned businesses

It is important for women to lift each other up because it boosts their self-esteem and serves as a reminder that they possess special skills that nobody else possesses in addition to being just as smart, skilled, and intelligent as their male colleagues. When women are empowered, they contribute back to society by taking on responsibilities, landing jobs, and promoting equality on a worldwide level.

International Women’s Day falls on March 8^th every year. International Women's Day was first honored on a global level in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. This day was designated an official day by the United Nations back in 1977. The now-global holiday strives to recognize the outstanding contributions made by women and raise awareness of the gender disparities that persist. 

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Reflection

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Reflection

This film was about how Joanna "Joey" Drayton comes to her parents' house in San Francisco after a trip to Hawaii with her fiancé, the highly qualified Dr. John Prentice, so they can meet him. Her father, Matt Drayton, is the publisher-editor of the newspaper The Guardian, and her mother, Christina Drayton, owns an art gallery. Joey, who received a liberal arts education, plans to wed Dr. John Prentice, a Black widower who must depart that evening for Geneva to work for the World Health Organization. The pair takes a flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco without realizing that Joey is white, and Joey extends an invitation to John's parents to join her family for dinner. Christina also extends an invitation to her family's liberal friend Monsignor Ryan.

I can see how some people may interpret Dr. Prentice's contempt for his father. Dr. Prentice, however, wished for his father to see that his son is an autonomous, free-thinking adult. The next thing that Dr. Prentice said to his father, as his countenance softened and he showed his appreciation, is something that must be acknowledged and was not included in the previous post. "You are my father, and I love you forever," I said. Regarding whether their marriage would last, I sympathize with Spencer Tracy, the father of the young girls, and what he said toward the close of the film.

EOTO REACTIONS

Robert F Kennedy 

In this EOTO reactions, I will be writing about my one fellow classmate who did their presentation of the assassination of Robert F Kennedy. I picked this topic because this was such a crazy and interesting thing to happen, and there are many articles and information within this topic. RFK was assassinated in 1968 on June 5^th, however reported dead on June 6^TH. A 24-year-old Palestinian man Sirhan Sirhan shot him at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles. This happened moments after he won the California presidential primary. Unfortunately, five others were wounded during the shooting. The country at this point was confused and obviously concerned. Within the same year, Martin Luther King JR. was also assassinated, and the Vietnam War was occurring. 

Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy

This was such a tragic story for the USA to hear because he was a very important role model for many. He is known for advocating thr civil rights movement, the fight against organized crime and the Mafia, and involvement in the U.S. foreign policy related to Cuba. He impacted the civil rights movement because he sent 400 federal marshals to protect the Freedom Riders and urged the interstate Commerce Commission to order the desegregation of interstate travel. Kennedy also authored his account of the Cuban Missile Crisis in a book titled Thirteen Days. It was released a year after his assassination. This book describes the meeting held by the Executive Committee, which was the team assembled by US President John F. Below is a picture of his book, Thirteen Days.
