                                                      Feminism in Expression

What is Women's Empowerment? It is promoting equality for women. It is giving women a voice so that they can stand up against all these systemic injustices taking place against them. Feminism is clearly defined as equal rights for women.
Feminism in no way places women at a higher pedestal than men and it is ignorant to think that feminists hate men or Men can't be feminists.
In the drawing, each girl is different from the other, with different traits and characteristics. But they are all strong women who will change the world for the better. That's what feminism is: Freedom. It is giving women an equal chance to shine in their field, to freely show their passion and abilities. It lets them feel comfortable in their own skin where they don't have to hide their abilities because of societal pressures.
Feminism or gender empowerment is important because Gender inequality is a 2-way street. Taboos like men shouldn’t cry, men shouldn’t wear pink, etc. also negatively affect men. Therefore, If we promote Women's empowerment like our model does, We are helping remove the taboos that exist against women that also benefit Men.

Like I stated, Women have always been less empowered than women and there have always been systemic injustices against them. By empowering and by following our model we are trying to remove these injustices that have been in our world since the beginning of time. If we don’t and decrease the empowerment of women fewer and fewer women will come up and prove themselves, leading to people further believing that women don’t deserve equality further decreasing their empowerment. And this is just a vicious cycle that we will get caught in.

We need to let women's sense of individuality shine bright. Given a chance women can change the world on a scale that's unimaginable and sets a precedent for all future generations to come.

                                THW allows children to sue their parents for religious indoctrination Hello everyone. Today, I will be writing against this motion i.e THW allows children to sue their parents for religious indoctrination. This is just my side of the argument that I wanted to put forward for discussion and I am in no way forcing my thoughts about this topic on anyone. I would first like to define the important terms in this motion. Religious Indoctrination refers to a process of imparting doctrine in an authoritative way. Secondly, Children refer to minors under the age of 16 and suing is taking complicated legal action against a person. First, I would like to state that I in no way supports religious indoctrination and the opposition believes that they should be given some sort of help. But we need to acknowledge the fact that Children or Minors are too young and naive to make their own deci...

Law for the Man or Man for the Law? : A discussion in light of the 50th anniversary of Kesavananda Bharati case

Law for the Man or Man for the Law? : A discussion in light of the 50th anniversary of Kesavananda Bharati case 66 days. 701 pages worth of judgment, with a unique yet equally fundamental opinion for 11 of the 13 judges that presided over the case. Needless to say, Kesavananda Bharati vs. State of Kerala was the most important landmark case that made it to the pages of Indian history. The case was concluded on 24th April, 1973 with the judge's ruling acting as a temporary fix for the long running disputes between the State and the Court and aiming to provide an answer for two principal questions; these namely being a) How far can the government work for the welfare of the society when it is at the expense of an individual's fundamental rights? And b) How far reaching is the government’s right to amend our Constitution that is deemed to be a ‘living document’? The deliberation remains, did the ruling manage to provide us with a satisfactory answer? Well the answer is both yes an...

Cultural appropriation I dream of Jeannie Today I wanted to discuss cultural appropriation in one of the most famous series of its time i.e I dream of Jeanie. I Dream of Jeannie was written by Sidney Sheldon from 1965-70. The show is about American astronaut Major Nelson, who accidentally rescues a genie after finding her magical bottle on a deserted island. Although Nelson sets Jeannie free, she immediately falls in love with him and chooses to stay with her new “master.” It was one of the most viewed series of its time and was also nominated for an Emmy. And even today ‘I dream of Jeannie’ attracts many viewers. But sadly, the show was full of stereotypes and showed negative versions of Arabs and Muslims. One survey that was conducted on the show by Katherine bullock shows that Muslims are most often offended by the show whereas the Non-Muslims didn’t notice any negative stereotyping. So what were the stereotypes in “I dream of Jeannie”? Scholars have stated that early Hollywood ...
