3. Why do you think that Thomas Jefferson wrote a paragraph about slavery

History
1 answer:

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson helped to create a new nation based on individual freedom and self-government.  His words in the Declaration of Independence expressed the aspirations of the new nation. But the Declaration did not extend “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” to African Americans, indentured servants, or women. Twelve of the first eighteen American presidents owned slaves. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration and called slavery an “abominable crime,” yet he was a lifelong slaveholder. Fearful of dividing the fragile new nation, Jefferson and other founders who opposed slavery did not insist on abolishing it. It took 87 more years―and the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment―to end slavery.

Why was FGM successful in Ethiopia?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

In countries like Ethiopia, where sexual education is not very well implemented in the life of people things like FGM happen. This procedure is very dangerous and it is done at the girl’s very young age. The reason why this method of damaging girls still exists is a gender stereotype.

Explanation:

In Ethiopia is still men’s world, women and their rights are not so respected. People in Ethiopia consider that doing this procedure, a girl will be saved from diseases and genital infections.

But, behind all of these false reasons, there is one principle. Respecting the tradition. This way, women will stay virgins, they will avoid shame and their sexual desire will be lessened as the procedure is very painful and can leave serious consequences on women. The people in Ethiopia believe that a girl is more respected and traditionally accepted if her virginity is kept.
