In the article “Three Woman activists take peace prizes” it touched base on a powerful Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee and her accomplishments. The article brought attention to woman being treated unfair and lack of equity. The ethos appeal was used by stating “the best way to achieve global peace is to start in local communities” (Herlinger). Before any accomplishment can be established it first must start with your own people, by uplifting them, and getting then to become a whole with your stance. The logos appeal was used by “Gbowee, citing the examples of peace and justice campaigners such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, said she does not believe it is possible to practice nonviolent action without some connection to a higher power.” (Herlinger) she than finish her statement by stating “"My faith has really helped me," (Herlinger). That she had faith in her belief standing on her side in the getting her people together. Using well known leaders to back up her movement for women had improve her argument for women empowerment. The pathos appeal was used by “Johnson Sirleaf, Gbowee said every time "she sees me coming, she's weary" because "I always say, 'Madame President, you need to do this, this, this.'" But, Gbowee added, "We have a good professional relationship, like mother and daughter." (Herlinger). Disowning her credibility as a President. Showing her worries to where they stand and worries and how much power she has as a president.

     In conclusion, she has written a wonderful article that will engage her readers by using good usage of the ethos, logos, and pathos appeal. I agree to her statement “"Women have endured injustices and inhumane treatment; yet, it is the women who have labored and advocated for peace." (Herlinger) Women has made brought attention to all their hard work and without being acknowledge. And (Gbowee) had brought all them issues to light so the women can respectfully get with they deserve. And the combination of these appeals usages in her article is what keeps her article together.

The Daily Show - Malala Yousafzai Extended Interview

In the article “A Love Letter to Black Feminism” the author Treva B. Lindsey provides a healthy well written article about black feminism. With all the police brutality, riots occurring, and killing, black lives seems to be the centered of attention when violence is taken action. In most cases black lives are appointed to be monsters, dangerous and violent, when you cannot stereotype all black people from just one person actions. Taking the action of a black feminism and or feminism in general is being able to identify your ability and power as a women and how far it can take you a side from men.  Making it a point to justify black feminist tradition; the Logos appeal was used in her article to build her argument was by the violence taking place among the black community women and girls stating “The rapidly growing number of Black women and girls, victims of anti-Black state violence in the twenty-first century, illuminates a new chapter in racial terror and subjugation. The stories of Bland, Champan, Kimberlee Randle King, Aiyana Jones, India Clarke, Pearlie Golden, Penny Proud, Tanisha Anderson, Mya Hall, Yvette Smith, Lamia Beard, Miriam Carey, Ty Underwood, Shantel Davis, and too many more victims of fatal anti-Black state violence mark this moment and demand that we #SayHerName.” (Lindsey) By the author providing the person name that the violence has occurred too and with, gives more quality of facts to her article that can be proven. She furthermore goes into description of her article behind stating the victimized people and families by stating “At the core of the intellectual tradition founded and sustained by Black feminist, womanist, and gender progressive scholars is both the documenting of Black women's stories and the sharpening of theoretical and praxes-based tools derived from the lived experiences of Black women.” (Lindsey) As she makes her statement it allows to push her argument by identifying the generation aspect and the issue that she want to get across to her readers. The pathos appeal was provided by stating “We invoked the names and stories of Black trans* women being killed at an alarming rate in 2015 and looked towards the work of Black trans* and gender non-conforming scholars, artists, and activists inheriting the incomparable legacy of warrior sistas like Marsha P. Johnson.7 We attempted to find words to capture our pain over the kidnapping of the 276 girls in the village of Chibok in Nigeria (214 of them now impregnated via rape by their captors), the still missing Relisha Rudd of Washington, DC, and the 60,000+ Black women missing in the United States alone. These are the terrorizing conditions under which we must write and create in an effort to uphold the justice-centered imperative at the core of Black feminist thought.” (Lindsey) The emotional effect of her article was capturing the pain that these families and women has went through and still are going through as the battle of black feminist still goes noticeable. She also uncovers the hidden pain that black feminist goes through. The ethos appeal of her writing was by her mentioning other journalists and citing their viewpoint and intake of Black feminism through-out her article. As her article speak on the topic of Black feminist and the nature of black lives. It is aware that history on these same topics are not being addressed correctly to stop them from reoccurring because as we can see it is happening all over again to occurring situations now. All the reoccurring issues that is happening now is more of a cultural issue to black women as black women are merely affected by.

                In conclusion, she has written an outstanding article that will enthuse her readers by using good usage of the ethos, logos, and pathos appeal. I agree to her statement “What I can confess is that the roll call lengthens every day. Breaths of fresh air surround those working towards a Black feminist future. The vast range of scholarship humbles me. It is my sincerest hope that our special issue serves as but one entry point into the discussion of Black feminist futures.” (Lindsey) acknowledge black feminism and the action of black feminist as the direction of black lives matter. And without direction and knowledge of these issue these situations will not go unnoticed. And the combination of these appeals usages in her article is what keeps her article together.

Black Feminism

In the case of Women’s Right’s, gender equality is an essential aspect that take part of the Women’s Movement. When referring to gender equality it is to understand both sides, women and men. Which gender is more powerful or which gender has the leading role in society?  Gender equality is a debatable conversation when pertaining to Women’ Rights because women want the people to be aware of the daily struggle that women faces.  In the article “Will Gender Equality Be Achieved? A Survey of Young Adult Perspectives” has given an insight of what the people think around you about gender equality. Some are to believe that gender equality already exist and some people believe that improvement can be made to be achieved.  The Ethos of this article was welling writing and convincing by using the college students and peers during the survey of questioning. Gender equality is so confrontational because each gender has their own views and aspects of life and how society should be rolled out to be. According to Susan H. Howell and Cameron D Schatt when questioning the peers and students the term gender equality? “Only women responded that equality meant to have equal value and respect” (Howell and Schatt). In women response to women feel degraded, and belittle. In my opinion does not feel that requirements have been meant to their expectation. In the response to Ethos women expose their emotional thoughts for to gender equality. “the fact that only women mentioned equal value and respect in their definitions might indicate that women are sensing an underlying attitude in society that is going unnoticed among men.” (Howell and Schatt). The women have an understanding than men will not understand that discrimination is in the line of the movement for women to move forward. Women are pushing the issue of equivalent to be equal and stop limiting women to a specific standard by law. The logos of the article were, “Yet these participants cited progress that has already taken place (e.g., decrease in racial injustice, women running for office) as one reason for their hope that equality will eventually come to pass.” Stating that women are currently making movement, and making a stand for Women’s Rights. Women’s Right is in effect of making improvement for women laws.

Emma Watson's speech on gender equality

Women’s Rights pertains many qualities against women to be divergent from men. Apart of an ideology that focuses on women being treated as equal to men is discrimination. It is important to be aware that women rights is be to identified as equivalent.  Discrimination and violence is a part of women rights and their fight. In the article “Discrimination: Inequality against women,” speaks the different responsibilities a woman is categorize in the position of discrimination and violence against women.  “Discrimination: Inequality against women” is a powerful article that the author Ms. Kanchan Saxena uses Logos, Pathos, and Ethos very well discussing women and their battle with discrimination and violence. Ms. Kanchan Saxena creates Logos in her article is stating evidence that will support and build her article starting with violence. “Battering is the leading causes of injury to women aged 15 to 44 in the U.S.  Approximately 50% of the homeless women and children in this country are on the streets because of violence in their home.  One fifth to one half of U.S. women were sexually abused as children at least once. Most of them by an older malrelative.  Nearly two third women who receive public assistance “welfare” have been abused by an intimate partner at some time in there” (Kanchan). Violence occur all around the world and in different settings. And to help build her article she acknowledges the a few facts about Violence, that women would go through in the land of the free. In speaking of the land of the free, considering that I am discussing Women Rights. Human Trafficking is a well-known violence that deals with women. And human trafficking happened all around the world which is forced, tricked and controlled under another person authority but against the other person own will. In the form of how the author use the pathos appeal is by reviewing traffickers control. “Making her work to pay back money they say she owes them, threatening to hurt her or her family, threatening to have her deported, taking away her passport, birth certificate, or ID card, preventing her from having contact with friends, family, or the outside world” (Kanchan). The emotional approach was achieved very well because it speaks upon the fear that is place upon a women and the terrible consequences that happens when the person disobey the controller.  The Ethos appeal applies to the article by building around discrimination of women. The Ethos of Ms. Kanchan Saxena can be built a lot stronger, the logos and pathos was very strong.

                In conclusion, Ms. Kanchan Saxena uses logos and pathos impressively good through her article but ethos not as strong. The article does cover violence and discrimination and as well as other qualities of women rights but lacks the credibility. The article shows comparison that is made between men and women, the inferior inequalities against women, and the power of men control. The law will protect everyone in which one stands but be more in the men circle but also hear the women views.

Discrimination Against Women

In a world where your decisions are not accountable because of your identity.  Issues pertaining to women that are taking place in the united states and all over the world that are not taking into action considering that 90 percent of females in Egypt are sexually mutilated and 60, 000 people in slavery in America today according to Jimmy Carter. Over 100 years’ women been fighting for women rights all over the world the for equivalent rights, and protection for all women. "In order for women rights to be justified as human rights to many violations would occur within women rights, since they are deprived from human rights."(Sayadmansour and Momenirad).  In the YouTube clip “Feminists Are SO Delusional They Don’t Realize the Fight for Women’s for Women Rights Has Been Won” actor Brendan Gleeson was asked does he think “Women rights are Men Issues.” and he stated “yes” I disagree, I believe women rights are women issues because of the nature, the culture, the qualities, and traditions. In my opinion, dealing with women rights for example: abortions, excluding abortions. But, clearly in the fifth and fourteenth amendments states women are legal to submit to an abortion. A woman decision should be based off her self-reflection and/or hypothesis. 

Women rights are also being fought to stop Substandard violence against all women. Malala Yousafzai is a 17-year-old educational activist that also stands for all women rights but ashamed for how the women of her country are treated and handle by their men. Malala Yousafzai is seen as a threat because how powerful she is.  she has won against sex trafficking and also winning a Nobel Peace Prize, an advocate for education and women rights. “Therefore, if women’s rights are recognized as human rights, women will have more effective procedures in international law for challenging violations of their rights.” (Sayadmansour and Momenirad).  Women would be more against their own laws then they would be toward human rights. Women will have more laws to aby by then the human rights. human rights are the fundamental elements to the women rights, so without the human right the women rights cannot stand alone. “Establishing women’s rights as human rights would have two practical advantages. It would enable women to reinforce their efforts within their several nation states by bringing the spotlight of international scrutiny upon the failure of their own governments to respect and secure their rights. It would also provide a means for challenging international practices and institutions that in this era of globalization transcend the jurisdiction of any single nation state. (Alireza Sayadmansour* and Ahmad Momenirad**). Human Rights are keeping women rights in orders so that women rights can stay protected. But if Women rights branch off into their own region, women would be known as their own nation as men is keeping everybody whole.

The Women Rights is a powerful a movement and the women rights needs to be operate in the right direction so our next generation will not be misconstrued of their identity. The progress of the women rights movement is a revolving issue that is global that has every one concern and joined in. Women would have an advance in the legal system if the women right we’re to become legal. But sense human rights have a part to the women rights, women will continue to have to defend and prove their justification to every action and knowledge.

Bernie Sanders & Hillary Clinton Debate Women's Rights: PBS Democratic D...

Women Rights is a continue debate that is an uncomfortable topic but a constant conversation that cannot seem to be settle. Women of all color are over looked because the power of women and feminist title that politicians are afraid of. The starting point of women proclaiming their title started before the civil rights movements as they built their community to fight against the outrage claims that men dominant over women and receiving more power than women instead of equal rights as men. In article “The Prolonged Slavery of Women is the darkest page in human history” the author argues that segregation of colour is a part of holding women especially colour women from their rights. He then makes it a point to acknowledge that white women and colour women tried enfranchise to fight for women rights but that controversy did not work because the politicians were petrified from authority of power black educated women (Jad). When women enfranchise, the stability, the vigorous, the enlightened stance of their hard work comes before you, to make it a point that women rights matter just as equivalent to all men. Women are over looked because women are seen to do the background while men get applauded for the up-front work.  But, according to (Andrew Cayton) “Women mattered to the extent of their attachment to powerful men; young women mattered even more because their bodies, in particular their wombs, mattered. When society makes it satisfactory for women to stand behind the scene of men. When women play the role of the higher authority men get offended and try to destroy women nature.

From the time before the civil rights movement, during the civil rights movement; Dr. Sara Frear, associate professor of history, said male-dominated efforts often overshadowed the works and contributions made by women during the movement and that these frustrations helped shape the women’s own movement. and now present day after the civil rights movements can you believe women are still fighting for “women rights.” After all previous activist fighters such as Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Carrie Chapman Catt, Frances D. Gage, and Susan B. Anthony (Adams, Jad).  A lot of rights for women has been rejected and some has been more viewed. Women are quickly get stereotyped before knowing her background history. The issue is not basically colour women but most of the history begin from colour women to all women. And now present day all women of all race faces women discrimination of women right. “The United States could do more to use soft power to support the cause of women’s rights. For instance, it could tie aid money to reform and enforcement of laws that are in many cases already on the books. If this were done more systematically, there might be more coherent results.” (Soussan, Michael) From the events that occur with women in US there should not be reasonable of doubt to question the US ability but not every is perfect.

In Conclusion women rights are being more forced for women can have an equal opportunity as men. Women can have more authority over their own decision whether it’s from health conditions to finances. The ability of women is just as powerful of men and have the stability as men. “I do subscribe to the generalization that any group that targets women for violence and discrimination today is the most likely to become dangerous beyond the borders of the area it pretends to influence. More than ever, if we believe in the promotion of human rights, we must find more ways to hold governments accountable for advancing and protecting women’s rights (Soussan, Michael).” More organizations and awareness can be brought to fight for women rights if more women were more serious about the issue, meaning fighting more upon the issues.
