Reading this statement the my first understanding of the quote is defined as, having a society where “fantasies” are demanded by order and are also created by order. This might first be hard to understand but while looking through the work of Laura Mulvey we come to understand that “phantasy” is a mixture of sexual desire and self-image.

In the United States of America, citizens have unalienable physical rights, a trait that sets us apart from many other countries around the world. While documents such as the Constitution and Bill of Rights stand true to this day, how these official papers apply to science is still up to debate, as some phrases could pose a threat to peoples’ privacy and to scientific research. Peoples’ legal ownership and control over their tissue, should be up to the person in which the tissues were extracted. A prime example of how weak tissue rights invaded someone’s right to privacy and should be made stronger, is Henrietta Lacks.…
During the civil war and reconstruction eras, America’s main concern was giving rights to people of color. In the chaos the country forgot that women need rights too. In today’s society, women and people of color have the same rights as white men, but unfortunately there is still an issue of equality and justice. In theory we are all the same, but in practice, white men still have all the power. This is why literature concerning these issues is as relevant today as it was in the mid-1800s.…

With using censorship in this movie, Disney builds a dramatized and flawed history of Pocahontas and illustrates a fake reality of who Pocahontas was.…
Elizabeth Cady Stanton once said, “Woman’s degradation is in man’s idea of his sexual rights. Our religion, laws, customs, are all founded on the belief that woman was made for man.” But it is also the same for the blacks at the time, they who are black or are female do not compare to the men of America. In “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and the “Declaration of Sentiments”, Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton had the same basic purpose for giving their respective speeches, and they accomplished their end goal in very similar ways, including, that they both wanted equality, they had experience, and both were very brave.…

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, described in Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life By Lori D.

A woman by default was expected to be a loving a wife and mother with strong religious values and morality, it is her obligation. The ideal of a woman has not really changed from what it was two centuries ago, but in the United States there has been an effort to tear down the gender-roles that have been established.

Additionally she is able to pursue an education and obtain any job she chooses. However, it would not have been possible if the women of earlier decades have been conformists with their status.…
