The English colonies had a hard time while trying to establish British America. They ran into challenges like lacking food and supplies, a language barrier that limited communication, and diseases that killed. The southern colonies and the New England colonies were settled for different reasons and they developed very differently. The success rate for the colonies was very dependent on natural resources and meeting basic needs of their people.…
Important to realize, Title IX is a wondrous step forward for our nation, but it is severely flawed. There are several modifications that needed in order to reflect our ever changing society. It feels as though it is not a result of Title IX but rather due to the crudely implemented ways that people still discriminate in the present day. Regarding what improve can be made, there are several examples of changes that are needed in order for Title IX to reflect our society. An example being the fact that professional women’s sports in our country should also receive the same benefits and possibly reward those who attempt to market these teams into the mainstream as several of these sports are underrepresented in our society.…
Historical Setting In a 1966 amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the federal government began providing financial aid to states that provided education for children with disabilities. The program evolved into the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA) of 1970. After a couple of lawsuits and an updated Act, the government determined that students with disabilities had the right to public education, and parents had the right to participate in the process (Wright, 2010). Amy Rowley, a first-grader with an auditory impairment, and her family filed suit against her school district in the Federal District Court after the New York Commissioner of Education affirmed the school district’s decision to refuse a sign-language interpreter.…
About 20 years after the that, the Elementary and Secondary Education Bill was implemented allowing for the government to provide federal aid to the impoverished. Finally, in 1702 and 1703, anti-discriminatory laws came into play. One being the Title IX bill prohibiting segregation based on gender and the second one being Sect. 504 of the Rehabilitation Act preventing discrimination based off disabilities in the education…
Title IX- A Law Worth Keeping Title IX is a federal law created in 1972 that prohibits sexual discrimination in education and school athletics. Sexual discrimination in education can be interpreted as females not receiving equal scholarship opportunities as males, as well as women’s programs or men’s programs getting less funding so that the other gender’s programs may gain. The main reason that Title was created was to prevent sexual discrimination in places of education. Although some believe Title IX has its flaws and think that the law creates more discrimination, Title IX is a well rounded, effective law that is worth keeping.…
Title IX: How do gender roles affect athletics? Throughout the semester, the course Gender and Communication has made me think in ways I never have.

Title IX: Life-Changing 37 Words Although not seeming like a big deal at the time, the 37 plain and simple words that make up Title IX are words that would, in fact, change everything. However, whether that change is good or bad is up for interpretation. Title IX is a section of the Education Amendments passed on June 23, 1972 by President Richard M. Nixon. In short, this section prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity.…
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” This is an important piece of what was formerly known as the Title IX Education Amendments of 1972. This document was sign into United States law on June 23, 1972 by President Richard M. Nixon. This law is meant to protect us (women) from discrimination and to ensure that we have an equal opportunity. This is not only for education but any educational activity such as athletics and tech education that receives federal money.…
The lack of action and the incompetence of the HEW was the main reason Title IX was stalled in its start. Inspired by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title IX declared that women were not allowed to be denied on the basis of gender of educational programs by government funded institutions but took years for the same women who actively fought to pass the Title to see it in action. With disgraceful lack of enforcement of both the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the narrow definition that emphasized “federal funding”; the document allowed room for those who wanted to discriminate based on gender. In 1972, Title IX passed after two rigorous attempts women celebrated at the opportunities that were newly presented to them but soon…
Title IX was a well-needed push for the government to get involved in sexual discrimination. A burgeoning women's movement and increasing lawsuits encouraged Congress begin focusing on women’s rights in education. From a heated political climate, Title IX was born. In 1972, Title IX prohibited federally funded educational institutions, such as public secondary school and higher education, from discriminating on the basis of sex and applies to all academic and extracurricular program, and was signed into the Educational Amendments of the Civil Rights Act. This law has been credited as the key cause of the advances made in educational and workplace equality and is best known for its impact on intercollegiate athletics and likewise the most debatable…
The division between the French-Canadians and the British-Canadians has been a source of tension and conflict since the first colonies in what is know present day Canada. The two groups are known as the francophones, being the French-Canadians, and the anglophones, being the British-Canadians. One of the major sources of tension between the francophones and the anglophones is routed in the major disagreements regarding language. These tensions can be even be traced back to the settlement of the first colonies in Canada, the election of the Parti Quebecois, who supported Quebec’s separation from Canada, and even issues that are still present today.…
Title IX, an Education Amendment enacted during Nixon’s presidency, denies federal funding to any public or private programs that discriminate against a certain sex. Title IX primarily protects women against discrimination in college admittance, scholarships/benefits, and athletic programs. Title IX has changed slightly since first being signed into effect because the coverage of the law has been expanded. Before Title IX was enacted, sex discrimination was common in schools. For example, many nursing and military schools often only accepted one sex, which restricted men from the nursing field and women from the military.…
