1. A method in which a group of people are governed or ruled by men; system in which women and children have not equal rights. Family or tribe in which the father has the authority over women and children.
2. Jean-Jacques Rousseau a political and philosopher thinker borne in Geneva, Swiss in 1712. Had great influence in the Age of Enlightenment in France during the Revolution.
Rousseau argues in this article that women most important role in life was to learn about her duties in society. Such as taking care of their men, children, and housekeeping. Live restricted, controlled, and dedicate their lives to serve men.
Rousseau also blames the nature whom chooses the gender that made man and women different to justify his thoughts and opinions. Also, Rousseau mention that women should judge based in their morals not in her conduct alone making this a more difficult judgment for women. In summary, women were borne to satisfy men’s pleasures and to serve them. Moreover, he says, women were naturally suited to be subordinate mate of men.
3. He justifies gender inequality by saying that women are the only responsible for the family’s union and nature’s decision to charge them with the gift of giving birth to children.
4. I strongly disagree with his argument. In my opinion, men and women should have equal social, political, and economical rights. Men and women are borne equally regardless the gender and ought to be treating the same. Furthermore, the rights protect women from discrimination based on their sex, color, or ethnic origin. By having equal rights women have the same opportunities as men for equal employment, pay and equal economic and educational opportunities. Women’s rights are an important meter of understanding global well-being in the world.

Moreover, consider their possessions as community property. In contrast women in Pennsylvania had no legal rights or privileges in the economic circle. However, they were well respected in the religious circle achieving important roles.

Blog # 1
a. How would you describe yourself?
Friendly, adaptable, competitive. Extremely loyal and great people skills. Organized and hard working. Enthusiastic and extraverted. Love to have fun, sometimes a little impatience but very lucid and positive. Very good a getting things started but not very good at following through. Like to help others, warm-hearted, and confident. Open minded, flexible, and risk-taker. Very passionate and excited about things. Social, outgoing, and charismatic. Like challenge and difficulty. Like to motivate and encourage others.
b. What specific goals have you established for your life?
Become very successful in whatever I do and help others. Start a foundation to help others, help my family, and have my own business.
c. How was your transition from high school to college?
I finished High School in 1991 in Mexico and I have some financial issues so I was not able to afford College or University. I started Glendale Community College in 2005 my goal is to get an A.A. degree. I guess I never gave up!
d. How would you describe yourself in terms of your ability to work as a member of a team?
I have excellent skills to work with people. I’m a team player, very cooperative, and positive.
e. What motivates you to put forth your greatest effort?
Family.
f. What personal weakness has caused you the greatest difficulty in school or on the job?
Need to focus more on following through projects. Improve time management. Impatient. Afraid to never achieve a great accomplishment.
g. Give me a specific example of a time when you used good judgment and logic in solving a problem:
When I started College I was extremely excited so I became a full time student even though I was working full time. Sometimes more than 40 hours a week but my inexperience and poor judgment did not let me see how difficult will become school. I was taking 5 classes, probably 15 credits or more per semester which caused me to fail in one or two classes and passed others with low grades. I struggled but never dropped or leaved any of the classes. I learned from it and decided to have quality instead of quantity by taking less classes and increasing the GPA. I learned how to manage better my time.
As a result GPA increased, no classes failed, and less stress. If you want to achieve better results you have to try different methods and choose the one that works better for your goals.
h. Tell a time when your active listening skills really paid off for you – maybe a time when other people missed the key idea being expressed:
My friends and I got into a trip to Utah to have a good time and do snowboarding. As we were getting close to the hotel we will stay we got lost and we did not know the place we ask for directions but the person that helped us used a very complex way to explain the directions, my friends were not able to understand him but me. I paid a lot attention at what he was trying to say and than pass this information to my friends. Fortunately we got to the hotel hour later and we stayed there for a few days. We had a great time and we enjoyed our vacation there. I think is very important to listen very carefully so we will be able to understand or communicate with others better.
i. Describe the system you use for keeping track of multiples projects. How do you track your progress so that you can meet deadlines? How do you stay focused?
Reminders are good at keeping tracks on any project also post it helps a lot, too. Going back in what you have done and what you still have to work on. Charts, graphics, agenda, a list of things to do, and marking the calendar of deadline projects. You need to try different methods and choose the one that works better for you depending on the project.
