My opinion on the article: the feminine ideal

2009-07-08T17:07:00.003+08:00

After reading the article, i felt that the content in the article is true.Even though women these days feel that they get equal rights, i feel that they still do not get it.They fail to realize that men do not really give them enough respect.

But the reason men fail to give women enough respect would be because of women themselves.Despite the fact that there were woman who tried to fight for their rights.However the amount of woman who fough were very little.Majority of the woman still continued to deform themselves.The women had a choice, they always did. But instead they depended on the men to give them a solution.

Many say that females now are different from the females then.I disagree.I think the females then and now are similar to the extend that both the females now and then wanted to portray themselves as thin and beautiful. By trying to become thin, they torture themselves into diets which were bad for their health and caused pain t their body.

And so, i felt that the article was able to portray that females have not changed mentally but physically in the way they dress.

POEM ON MY SECRET IDENTITY

2008-07-08T19:29:00.003+08:00

Its all that it makes me

my secret identity is hard to see

its not fake neither is it true.

Lost deep within me,

a feeling that no one realizes except for me

a secret identity which only i knew of.

And so i leave it as a secret,

to protect it from others.

But as time goes by

i might let it out.

REFLECTION ON INDENTITY

Many people often go around the world in search of their identity.Some of us might even have trouble with different identities in our body.But what really is identity?

Identity is something which defines each and everyone of us.A never ending element in our lives.Our identity will never leave us.

Most of us treasure our identity.Some search for it.Identity is something which comes within us.Its something which helps other people know more about us.Identity is all about a persons character and their personality.Its about grasping for a sense of who you are.Most often identity is about the thoughts we have within,the image that we form inside our head.Its about our words and action.Most people often go in mid-life crisis mostly because they usually don't know their identity.People without identity always end up lost.

Therefore,i feel that identity is a major part of our life.It helps us become who we are and who we want to become.Each and everyone of us must have a identity of our own.Its the only thing that makes us stand out from the crowd and makes us feel unique.We are special in our own way because of the different identites that we possess.
