Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Women's Rights Movement
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born November 12, 1815, in Johnstown, New
York. She was the fourth of six children. Later she would meet and marry Henry B.
Stanton, a prominent abolitionist. Together they would have seven children.
Although Elizabeth never went to college she was very learned in Greek and
mathematics. During her life, Elizabeth was a very important person to the
women's rights movement. This paper will present to you the difficulties she
encountered and her major contributions.
Nothing is easy when you are trying to change the opinion of the world.
In the nineteenth century it was only harder if you were a woman. Elizabeth
Stanton not only faced opposition from the outside world but also from those
closest to her. After her only brother died she tried to please her father by
studying and doing the things that her brother had done. Her father's response
was that he wished she had been a boy. Her high hope of working with her husband
to abolish slavery was shattered when she was not allowed to enter into the
conventions. She, as a woman, was told to keep silent and to do her work quietly.
Who better than her husband, who champions the rights of black people, should
understand and applaud her work. However, that was not the case. During the
Seneca Falls convention that she had organized, her husband left town rather
than witness here propose the idea of women's suffrage to the group. When she
lectured she was often booed and hissed at. She suffered much at the hands of
the media. The only support that she ever received was from her fellow
suffragists. This did not stop her from continuing her work and becoming an
integral part to the early women's rights movement.
With seven children and an entire household to manage, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton somehow found time to help found the women's rights movement. Her
contributions were considerable. After attending an abolitionist convention in
London she decided to concentrate her work on the rights of women. Her first
cause was that of Divorce. She believed that people ought to be able to obtain a
divorce on any grounds. She also championed the married women's property act.
Perhaps one of her greatest contribution she had was the Seneca Falls convention.
There she helped draft the Declaration of Sentiments. This was a list of twelve
items that were unfair to women. The twelfth, concerning women's right to vote,
would probably have not been included if it was not for Elizabeth.
The first two lines of the poem set the mood of fear and gloom which is constant throughout the remainder of the poem. The word choice of "black" to describe the speaker's face can convey several messages (502). The most obvious meaning ...
because it would anger her husband. She was afraid to go back to school and
she was in this stage, she was faced with much criticism and was called many
to give her child away for its own safety because it was the time of
marriage. She was to do just as he said, without so much as uttering a
The main symbol in “The Things They Carried” is the necessities they carried as well as personal belongings. Each item tells a story that shows the past life on the soldier. Rat Kiley, the medic, carried M&M’s with him at all times. They were not to snack on during breaks. He brought them to provide as a placebo for soldiers who weren’t critically wounded and weren’t going to make it. The candy made some soldiers believe it was a painkiller and actually kept them alive and importantly quiet Ted Lavender’s tranquilizes and dope help reduce his fear. Kiowa carried an illustrated New Testament. For Jimmy it is his letters from Martha, it symbolizes the life that he wishes he could be living back at home with her. However, all of them carried one thing in common, the coward trait, the instinct to run at any given moment. Piedmont-Marton argues in her critical essay, “The things they carry on their bodies creates the illusion of unity and collaboration, but the fragile collective is always compromised by the things they carry inside and by the meanings and emotions attached to the smallest and most private of artifacts” (Para 3). She shows that the things that weigh the most have the least amount of meaning to them. The only thing getting them through times and not putting a bullet in their foot is the weightless mementos they have that give them
understand what she felt about her life and her family, since her views differed from the
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) affects every aspect of health care from patient privacy to insurance coverage. The federal act was first passed in 1996, yet the first major rule did not go into effect until 2003, protecting patient privacy. HIPAA ultimately came into effect due to the issues regarding patient privacy, security and coverage. Another major concern for both health care workers and the public was the exchange of patient information from one facility to another. Until the relatively recent decision to enforce HIPAA, a patient’s medical record was primarily recorded and maintained on paper and stored in locked cabinets or drawers. Not only was this method inefficient, but patients were also starting to become increasingly concerned over the privacy of these documents.
HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was put in place by the Federal Government for several reasons; better portability of health insurance for employees, to prevent fraud and abuse within the healthcare delivery system, and simplification of administrative functions associated with healthcare delivery (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). Due to sensitive healthcare information being shared federal regulations were also put into place, resulting in the “Privacy Rule” and “Security Rule”. The Privacy Rule limits the use and disclosure of patient information. The Security Rule protects the patients’ healthcare information from improper use or disclosure, to maintain information integrity, and ensure its availability (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). Both regulations apply to protected health information (PHI) which is any form of health information that can be used to identify an individual patient. Practitioners who refer to HIPPA are not referring to the act itself but the “Privacy Rule” and “Security Rule” (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2012). It is extremely important to understand these concepts as a student in the clinical setting and how each hospital enforces these concepts. Before starting at any clinical site there is an extensive orientation about HIPPA regarding what is appropriate and not appropriate when it comes to patient information and the repercussions of violating HIPPA. In this paper I will discuss Akron General’s rules and policies regarding their EHR, PHI, EPHI, and social media.
Susan B. Anthony is the most well known name in women's rights from the 1800s. Most people who are not familiar with the history of this time are aware of Susan's reputation and nearly everyone of my generation has seen and held a Susan B. Anthony silver dollar. For these reasons I was greatly surprised to learn that Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the original women's rights movement spokeswoman and Susan B. Anthony her protégé.
An elegance in word choice that evokes a vivid image. It would take a quite a bit of this essay to completely analyze this essay, so to break it down very briefly. It portrays a positive image of blackness as opposed to darkness and the color black normally being connected with evil, sorrow, and negativity. The poem as a whole connects blackness with positivity through its use of intricate, beautiful words and images.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, along with many other women, packed into a convention on a hot July day to all fight for a common cause; their rights. At the first Women’s Rights convention, Stanton gave a heroic speech that motivated the fight for the cause to be even stronger. Through Stanton’s appliances of rhetorical devices such as emotional, logical, and ethical appeals, she was able to her win her point, change the opinions of many, and persuade people to follow her.

Health information opponents has question the delivery and handling of patients electronic health records by health care organization and workers. The laws and regulations that set the framework protecting a user’s health information has become a major factor in how information is used and disclosed. The ability to share a patient document using Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is a critical component in the United States effort to show transparency and quality of healthcare records while protecting patient privacy. In 1996, under President Clinton administration, the US “Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)” established national standards for the safeguard of certain health information. As a result, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or (HIPAA) was established. HIPAA security standards required healthcare providers to ensure confidentiality and integrity of individual health information. This also included insurance administration and insurance portability. According to Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), an organization must guarantee the integrity, confidentiality, and security of sensitive patient data (Heckle & Lutters, 2011).
