Women Rights in Eighteenth Century America
"Address to the First Women's Rights Convention" was a speech given by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in order to raise voice against male chauvinism and religious bigotry and how it had been used to suppress women throughout history. The goal of this paper is to analyze the address given by Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the lights of broad and diverse academic resources.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton had made the commitment to improve the condition of women and elevate their status in American society. Her intellectual thinking and her ability to move out from the role of a house wife allowed her to be part of a group of women, who shared similar thoughts as herself. These women included Martha Coffin Wright, Lucretia Mott and Susan B. Anthony, who concentrated on promoting women rights awareness in United States in order to empower women and to elevate their status (Baker, 34). The Seneca Falls Convention was the first convention that was organized in United States to discuss the rights of women and to ensure that women are given equal social, moral and civil rights. At this convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton gave her address...
Women rights does not mean that women should start wearing attires of men and nor calls for introducing a legislation that would teach men to be courteous husbands but it is a call to create a society, where women are free as men and to raise voice against the government, where the husband is the master and the wife is his slave (Bradstock & Rowland, 181). The address talks about the condition of women and how for centuries, have been suppressed by men and that she does not have property rights and is solely dependent on men. Laws discriminate against women on basis of their gender and allow men to take hold of the wages, which women earn. Furthermore, such biased laws are disgrace for Christianity. Furthermore, Stanton asserts that there is need to create an awareness of women rights in order to remove male chauvinism and bigotry.
Women have been repressed throughout the centuries and therefore, it is the time that women get their civil, moral and social rights as they rightfully belong to women. Furthermore, women have been silenced throughout…

His lectures were a success as many eminent people of Edinburgh attended them and earned him a decent income. During the course of his lectures on English literature, Smith perhaps realized that his real vocation was economics. Hence, addition to English literature, he started to deliver lectures in economics in 1750-51 in which he advocated the doctrines of commercial liberty, based largely on the ideas of Hutcheson. It was also
Give me that which I want, and you shall have this which you want, is the meaning of every such offer" (Smith, 1776, p. 118-119). The unintentional consequence is thee same as it was before: an increasingly respectable and thriving nation, one so much so that it is as if shaped by what Smith deems the "invisible hand," from which Smith thus concludes that "it is the necessary, certain propensity
Modern capitalist philosophy has been advanced in a way that has little to do with what Smith really thought and taught. Smith believed that the invisible hand operated in a societal context. The reason Smith had such a positive philosophy of freedom was that he believed that human beings, would behave best if not compelled to merely serve the personal interests of a sovereign. Humans had a right to
In fact, development of the idea will be substituted for life (Hegel, 1988). The article on natural right and the System der Sittlichkeit complete each other. The first is destined to reveal a new way of posing the problem of natural right while the second is an attempt to solve this problem by the method proposed here (Goldstein, 2004). The System der Sittlichkeit, like the Platonic republic, is the conception
It is, in one sense, a give and take relationship, but underlying it are the philosophies of Rousseau and Smith, in spite of the fact that both are full of contradictions. Rousseau, for example, states that man's "first law is to provide for his own preservation, his first cares are those which he owes to himself; and, as soon as he reaches years of discretion, he is the sole
It offers a good theory as it emphasizes on the production and export of those items for which a country possesses a comparative advantage. Furthermore, through its focus on the reduction of taxes and tariffs in international trade and the adherent practices, the theory of comparative costs has set the basis for the contemporaneous processes of market liberalization and globalization. But the theory has not been spared from criticism. Oumar
