How motivation changes over time Motivation has been an indispensable element in everyone’s life. Things that motivate us may be externally or internally generated to help someone execute something or partake a given decision. For instance, in all the developmental and growth stages of people, certain motives encompass existence, relations, and interaction between the individual and the environment around them. Nevertheless, as people grow, they experience different interests in life and would want to venture into almost each one of them. The movement to take a step and take part in it is influenced by how and residential areas a person is raised and who raises them. And similarly, that is also the case for me. For instance, at a young age, simple things for children like presents such as charismas and birthday gifts would motivate an individual to fulfill promises asked upon by parents. In teenage life, being part of peer groups encourages teenagers in the performance of some personal and family goals. For example, most football teams have…

Slavery and Black Women Bell Hooks In her book “Ain’t I A Woman” intends to lay a foundation for her feminist theory by providing historical evidence of detailed sexism that black women slaves tolerated and how those experiences affect black women in the modern days. In the book, Hooks stated that “A devaluation of black womanhood occurred as a result of the sexual exploitation of black women during slavery that has altered in hundreds of years” (Hooks, 1981). The economics of slavery, which commodified human life, and encouraged raising enslaved individuals, promoted a regular practice of rape against black women. This system created a lasting social order founded on race and sex. Hooks chose Sojourner Truth’s quote as the title of her book because she evaluates the impacts of sexism and racism on black women, the civil rights and feminist movements. Sojourner Truth is a prominent historical figure because she was actively involved in the antislavery movement as well as the women’s rights movement. At the Women’s Right Convention in Akron, Ohio, in 1851, Truth delivers one of the most…

A Response to Edna St. Vincent Millay’s Choice of Genre The article Andromeda unbound: Gender and Genre in Millay’s sonnets by Debra Fried seeks to criticize the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay’s decision to use the sonnet genre of poetry to proclaim women freedom. The author acknowledges the tough nature in which Millay poetry address the societal issues of sex, betrayal, and feminism that women have been compelled to submit to. However, Debra seems to disagree with Millay’s choice of the sonnet by claiming that it’s the same genre that has caged the women’s voices and allowed men dominance to go unchallenged. Hence, according to her (the author), a woman writing sonnets in the 20th century when people are seeking modernism is an act of embarrassment. The article puts down justification of the author’s reason for disagreement through examples. However, Millay’s poems demonstrate a contrary disposition to Fried’s article argument.
