For this discussion, students will be answering questions from the primary sources (Part A) and three additional questions (Part B).  The questions for Part A are located within the introduction before each source and all the sources are in the Women and the National Experience book.Be sure you answer every question.  Generally, there are two questions in the introduction.  Sometimes there is only one and with some sources, there are as many as four questions.  Be sure to read through the entire introduction to find and answer every question.   Part A:  Please answer the questions (found in the introductions) for the following sources: pg. 304-Ann Baumgartner Carl, pg. 308-Postwar Plans of Women Workers, pg. 312-Amram Scheinfeld, pg. 315-Marynia Farnham, pg. 319-Jo Ann Robinson, pg. 321-Anne Moody, pg. 326-Betty Friedan, pg. 358-National Organization for Women, pg. 362-Redstockings Manifesto, pg. 364-Gloria Steinem, pg. 366-Rape, An Act of Terror (1971) Part B:  Please also answer the following questions: 1. In chapter 16, several of the sources dealt with the "proper" place for a woman in American society.  Farnham and Lundberg suggest that women who seek work outside of the home are "lost" and doing great harm to their families.  Eleanor Roosevelt was so moved by this question of woman's place that she wrote an article on the topic, urging women to remain in the domestic sphere.  Why were so many Americans, especially men in power, so concerned about whether women earned their own income?  Why was this such a threat?   2. In chapter 18 Gloria Steinem speaks to congress and debunks several long-held myths about women.  What myths regarding women are still perpetuated today, now, in 2021?  How do these myths complicate women's advancement?  Be specific and use examples.  3. In chapter 18 the issue of male aggression and violence is discussed in a few sources.  How does the source Rape, An Act of Terror (1971), relate to the Me Too Movement?  What are the similarities?  What are the differences?  

Instructions:Write six (and only six) pages on one of the following essay topics.As a general rule, approximately four pages should be careful and sympathetic exposition of the relevant positions or arguments. Approximately two pages, at least, should reflect your critical or reflective engagement with the relevant positions or arguments. Exposition and critical engagement can be intermingled. But, as a rule, first write four pages of exposition. Then write at least two pages of critical discussion. Do not neglect either task; doing both well is essential for the assignment.Use helpful examples and apt quotations. Carefully organize the flow of ideas. Above all, strive for clarity.1. Immediately after Socrates’ leaky jar analogy, Socrates and Callicles disagreeover what makes a person’s life good. Present at least two of Socrates’ arguments against Callicles’ position, being sure to carefully formulate them and situate your reconstruction with reference to the text. Give reasons why you think each argument does or does not succeed. Pose and answer potential objections.2. Using an example, explain why Ryle believes there is a fundamental difference between "knowing how" and "knowing that." Explain Plato's view that moral knowledge is knowledge that. Explain Aristotle's view that moral knowledge is instead a matter of know how. Give reasons for either Plato's or Aristotle's view, considering objections and offering replies.3. Plato and Aristotle accept what Parfit calls an “objective list” view of the good life for a person. Explain that position and explain how both experientialism and desire-based theories differ from it and from each other in view of Parfit’s and Nozick’s discussions. Make a case using one or more examples for one of the views in view of problems you develop for the others.
