What do a seventy-year-old minister, a laboratory scientist, an electrician, a female vocalist, an armed policeman, a pregnant lady who is hysterical (and I don’t mean funny), the pregnant woman’s husband, a famous writer, a professional athlete, and a high school girl all have in common? They are the last ten people left on earth from a widespread bombing attack. There is one bomb shelter that can provide just seven people food, water and oxygen. How can I choose who lives and who dies? There are also three goals to think about after it is safe to leave the bomb shelter: establish a government, create a viable society, and repopulate. Out of the ten people, I believe the female vocalist has the least to contribute to the three goals. The only contribution she can make is singing and repopulating, but there are others more important to keep. I would also get rid of the pregnant woman, because since she has literally gone crazy, she could influence the others and make everyone go crazy as well. The third person I would not allow into the bomb shelter is the pregnant woman’s husband, because he is one of the least known about, and since I know very little about him, I cannot assume he can contribute to the three goals. While the female vocalist may be able to reproduce, since she is a …show more content…
Almost everything about him is vague. He is one of the least known about people in the group. The only thing we know for sure is that he is male and is the husband of the pregnant woman. Although he is male and can reproduce, there are others that can do the same, such as the minister and policeman. We know he is married to the pregnant woman, but it doesn’t specify if he is the father of the baby. A pro to getting rid of him is that he is a man, and men need more food and oxygen than women. So, instead of getting rid of another woman, we can choose the husband to go and have more food and oxygen for the
... does not see the needs of the girl or the baby. As he was coming back he walked through the bar room. He saw people waiting for the train. They were waiting for what he should have waited for, the right time to have the baby.

Plan of Investigation This investigation will evaluate the question, to what extent did the British Women’s Auxiliary Air Force assist the Allies’ war efforts during the Second World War? This question is important because in World War 1 British women were active in the war effort but to a limited extent, acting as nurses on the battle field and working in munitions factories, but resumed their traditional roles in society after the war. In World War 2 women were more active in the military through auxiliary groups, such as Women’s Auxiliary Force (WAAF) and it is important to understand how much of an impact their work made on the Allies war effort.
"Ethical utilitarianism can most generally be described as the principle that states that the rightness or wrongness of action is determined by the goodness and badness of their consequences." (Utilitarianism EOP 9: 603.) Following this guide line the morally right decision to make is to rescue the group with five ...
Juana Barraza is perhaps the most famous serial killer in all of Mexico’s history. Authorities have attributed the death of up to 48 elderly women in Mexico to Juana, and she was found guilty in 2008 of several murders and was sentenced to a total of 759 years in jail for her crimes. Referred to as Mataviejitas, or Little Old Lady Killer, Juana’s killing spree and the subsequent police investigation, became national news in Mexico in 2007 and 2008, and led to widespread pressure on the police department to solve the series of crimes against the nation’s most vulnerable members of society.
During WWII millions of men where taken away, one thing not everybody knows it that women too. The Nazi’s targeted both and most of the time women where subjected. One interesting fact is that it didn’t matter if they where Jews or non-Jews, they were tortured and killed, this was more of a gender inequality. Gypsy, Polish and disabled women where also affected by Nazis, various concentration camps where only for women. Ravensburk was the biggest Nazi concentration camp established. Thousands of them where tortured and suffered in this camp, but when the Soviets liberated Ravensburk, the SS created a concentration camp known as Auschwitz II, for female prisoners. The first women that where transferred to Auschwitz II came from Ravensburk. Bergen Belsen was created by the authorities in 1944 and thousands of Jewish women that from Auschwitz II and Ravensburk spent the last year of WWII in Bergen Belsen.
There are few people in this world that will go out of their way for other people, but these three women did just that. These women influenced people to look at their way of life differently.

In the Naked Citadel by Susan Faludi, we are taken into the notorious Citadel were the halls are lined with depictions of stern-faced generals, and where young boys are merely unrecognizable as college students. Where they appear as mere boys dressed in professional cadet attire. Men that have been ruthlessly broken down, and stripped of their egos, by not only their upper class mates, but by faculty. In a relentless manner that was sought by generations of citadel loyalist and alumni in order to shape them into their man hood. However, in the year 1994 not a single female was allowed to attend at least not as a Citadel in uniform. And it would take a strong willed woman to break the long standing traditions and join in an all-male military-type
After reading “The Doll House” and “Trifles”, the idea of females being inferior to men is portrayed. Both plays, are in a much older time period. But from a feminist view, females are still sometimes given the doubtful role in today’s society. Both plays, are very different, but much alike in the ways the females are treated, never taken seriously, nor are they appreciated.
War is a devastating event in which a country is in a state of aggression and resentment. Although war has its effects on almost every civilian residing in that country, historically people of minority groups and of low social class suffer the most. During the Pacific War, the Japanese Imperial Army was struggling with many cases of rape and the spread of venereal diseases among its armed forces. In order to cope with these ongoing issues, they schemed an idea to invent a comfort women system. The system started off with real Japanese prostitute volunteers, but then turned to tricking and abducing women into the system once volunteers ran out. As the Pacific War continued, Japanese forces began establishing “comfort stations” in many other parts of Asia. When studying the Japanese Comfort Women system of World War II, it is apparent who the people who suffered the most were. The Japanese Armed Forces sought after a certain group(s) of women who were seen as easy drafts into the comfort women system because of the many disadvantages associated with being a woman of a low social class and/or non-Japanese race during the World War II.
“In everyday life, men and women make decisions that affect the life and death of existing people. They decide whether to join the army; whether to donate blood, a kidney, or bone marrow to a child; whether to give money to Save the Children instead of buying a new sweater; whether to decline a life-saving blood transfusion; whether to drive a small fort on walls that may protect passengers in a crash but often kills those in less substantial vehicles” (Borgmann 23).
Henrik Ibsen published A Doll House in 1879, which was a time period of intense debate over women’s rights. Ibsen believed in the equality of people; consequently, the play displays the unjust inequality between men and women during the 19th century. Women were expected to fulfill the roles of a daughter, wife, and mother. However, to conform to the standards of the time women would repeatedly sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of men (Shahbaz). Nora attempted to fulfill the roles society expected of her, but she could not. Henrik Ibsen demonstrated how a woman has a duty to herself first by showing the negative effects of restricting women to the subservient roles of a daughter, wife, and mother in A Doll House.
Nicholas Sparks’ Safe Haven is a very suspenseful novel written from an anti-feminist perspective, in a way that portrays the belief that a woman cannot survive without a man; Sparks uses the main character of the novel, Katie, to be the female of interest in this area. Initially, Katie’s husband, Kevin, is an alcoholic, abusive policeman that she wishes to flee from. Once she finally gets up the courage to leave him, she runs away to a small town, Southport, on the opposite side of the country; since Kevin is employed as a law enforcement official, he has access to exclusive equipment and information and he is able to stalk and find her. Once Kevin finds her, he realizes that she has already fallen in love with another man, Alex, which infuriates
The use of torture has become a prominent matter of dispute as we enter an age of the global war on terror. The debate on whether it has become morally permissible to torture terrorists is argued by many as the legitimacy of such actions are brought into question in a world where global terror is outstanding. With the use of the ticking time bomb scenario, some make a desirable case that in special circumstances, there is a right to torture individuals implicated is acts of mass violence. Yet many would still argue that there are an array of inconsistencies hidden within the ticking bomb scenario and there are no circumstances where torture can be morally permissible, no matter what the consequences may hold.
