8th Grade Civics & U.S. History: Women and the Military




This is your first assignment for term 4. We have had an amazing debate around the issue of women and the military. We unfortunately have to move on and begin studying the three branches of government, separation of powers, checks and balances and federalism. This will be our last conversation around this issue.

Part A: Defending Your Position

In a well written short response, explain why women should or should not be allowed to fight in the U.S. military. Take your time and give as many details as possible. Try your best to use the meanings of rights, duties and responsibilities and any other key vocabulary or historical detail. Your answer should be between 2 to 3 paragraphs.

Part B: Attacking Your Opponents

In a well written short response, choose any of your classmate’s argument that you disagree with and explain why your classmate’s argument is flawed (wrong or weak). In a “respectful way” explain why you disagree with your classmate’s argument. Your answer should be between 1 to 2 paragraphs.

Hints:

• Use Microsoft Word or another word processor
• Take your time and be as convincing as possible
• It is due by Friday, April 17th: This is the only homework assignment for the week

1]I say no because that work is beneficial for us women can buscarno a jores me to work because we are studying and that's a decision for oneself poreso I say it should not be right that women cojieran that kind of work because she does not hurt his family and ba seba a well for this war but do not know if a marshal bamos living because that is your decision but not all women think alike and that's more than that this man timp working women want to work and that no man should make proper............ATT;JERRISA CRUZ

A.Thing women should no allow to fight in the U.S military because if she (it)has son she(it)decides to go to the military service who is going to take care of the baby because often the grandparents do not want to take care of it or not peden because estan fall ill and also some of them no to want that her daughters decide to go to the military service she(he)thinks that i work for men and the women to be very fragile for this type of works. And also often she(it) not this one very prepare for it and can be that neither there dies i think that to bind to do something because everything is going to go out for her as Gabriela Cortes said me i dont like to be in the military service if it for my country i do and she putting an obligation to do something that does want.

i thing women should not be in a u.s. military because maybe they have children and a family the love them and there children are going to sufril because the not going to have their mom next to them when they get sick or something.y eso es muy duro para una mujer yo creo k eso deberia deser para un hombre no para una mujer la mujer deberia estar en su casa cuidando de su hijo y the la linpiesa de la casa pero si ella lo quiere tratar y estar in a military she can do it .


But if the women desisted to go to the military she need to thing about if because she could die and never come back to see there son if they have one or family .. but i will give her some advice i will tell her that the not a good job for her and to thing about it.

Part A

I think that the woman should be allowed to fight in the war because if a woman loves her country and she wants to defend it I think se can also to me, its going to be better if also I begin to be a responsibility but not a duty because sometimes even the woman loves her country maybe she doesn’t want to go because she has children to care.
In the war have many thing to do is not only shoot people; also you’ve to make maps to write strategies to fight or to watch to the enemy people ,etc. Also some women and shoot well than the men the woman can do the same things or better than the men.

Part B

I’m disagree whit Darlin because she says that the women are weak, some of them are weaker than the men but to be strong is not all you need to fight in the war; and about the women’s children ,if the woman really wants to fight she is spouts to think it because she isn’t a teenager anymore she can take her own decisions on her and her children.

a. I think women have the option of going to fight for the ARMY they have the right to go, as they decide what they will do with their life and they know the decision that they are taking and should know the consequence caused to go fight for the reasons they choose.

In addition they decide what they want to do in your life, if they feel the desire to serve as not only men can peel because women are not only physical feurza if they can be a force of intelligence.

Women also have the right to fight in this country because they have the option, they are not required and is not a duty.

b.Angel, they decide what they want to do with his life, with family or not they took the decision to go to fight, they know what they have chosen it if it decided to die, to die for this I am disagreeing with your argument .

Besides what they Decide on their own decide to fight and die for the decision taken.

"Woman and the military"

Part A:

I think that the womem should go because them have own rights to take decisions for the future.to go to the military them not force to do if true that they traverse risks like die. it is womam that have good aims that the men, and exist time that there are men who already cannot continue fighting or incapasitados the woman substitute the man. Many time the women are military to defend them nation or take care a city .
It is true that many women are deviles but before sending them to a war they have time her to prepare her well and depues they send them and this that some persons creian devil can serve to replace another person.

I think that the woman ademas of de man have de ritgh to go,if her go not se inifica that her don't love her family because ella lo lleva en su corazon, and los ba a recoldar simpre este o no este a ella le ba a doler irse pero ella ba por que quiere not lo obligan.

respectfully desagree with you Adrianid the majority the men and the majority of them can put a panpers a a baby and much less for prepare the beacuse the majority of the men what to be worried or they worry is in the work and to support to the baby but not take care them imagine not to support it in his hands well they know.

Part A:Defending your Position

I think that women should not be allowed to fight in the U.S. military because I think that they could do another think like be an arquitect,a theacher,a lawyer,a secretary,a nurse,or another thing.I don't say that women should don't do that work only I say that men should don't that work too,but what happen if the government sent you to the U.S military because I have clear that if they sent you a letter to go to the U.S. military know you have to go because is a duty for that I say that the U.S. military could take away that law to sent sent women to the military base because I don't say that the men could not taka care of the a a baby,but the women could care that baby more affect and more caring because the mother where waiting for that baby at the moment that she know that she could have a baby and she keep waiting for 9 months and then the baby born and training to saying to me that she would destroy the relationship with ger son or daughter abd she will destroy her life to go to the military base when she will do another thing because for that she studied in School,High School,and College and also she could have a bettter if she studied and if you enter to the military base you could not if you will return wiht life and not matter if you work in a different part of the military base someone could trought a bomb and you could die.For that I said that the women should not go to the U.S. military.

Ronald las mujeres tienen derecho a vida que ellan quieran tomar, an que ellas tengan hijos eso no tiene quever con eso.todo mundo tienen losmismos derechosde todo mundo.

Las mujeres no tienen suficiente fuerza como los hommbre pero ellas pueden ayudar en algo en la vida militar.Como por ejemplo ayuda medica,orden de las armas,etc..

I am totally disagree with all the people that said that the women should be allowed to fight in the U.S military because for that you study and go to College to have a better life and a good career and also to have you r family and stay in a place.I say that not matter the job that you have in the U.S military every job is a problem because someone could through a bomb and you could die..

Yo creo que las mujeres no deben Ir a luchar el la guerra por que y si tienen sus hijos,o tienen una enfermeda.Las mujeres saben cuidar mas a los hijos que los hombre.Y se que la mujeres pueden hacer ese trabajo pero que se lo dejen a los hombres y que hagan algo facil.Pero si eses es su sueno pues que lo haga nadie le puede lo que tiene que hacer.La mujer decida lo que quiera hacer.

Si las mujeres quieren ir a la guerra que valla a la gente no le importa es a ella.Entonce ba a dejar a su hijo para ir a la guerra, eso para mi es que no quieren a su familia o a su hijo.

Y si se muere quien es que ba a estar triste es la familia,esposo o los hijos. ok estoy con los dos SI o NO

ADRIANID WROTE:

I thing women should be allowed to fight in the u.s. military because it show support to America. and i thing the something the a men can do a women if she propose to do it . and i thing the is the is a women dream to be or work in the military she cant do it and her family may not accepted but the her dream.If she have baby's she need to thing good but good if she want to be in the military because she need to thing about consercus because maybe she not going to come back so women the have children have to thing good about going to the military.


And if the family is done something good to the person thing about it because your children and your hosben are not the only one the is going to sofer your family is to.. women should thing good about going to the u.s. military if they have children or people the care about you .
