Back in 1981, for those of you who remember, August 5 was the day that then-president Ronald Reagan fired more than 11,000 striking air traffic controllers. The air traffic controllers were fired two days after their union, PATCO, declared a strike. They were demanding a pay raise, a shorter workweek, and better working conditions. It was a move that some historians say laid the groundwork for today's assault on labor. Hope that helps, but if not visit this ∨

In the past, women’s rights were severely negligible and belittled. At the time, women weren’t allowed to have just any roles in society, and if they did achieve success in spite of society’s standards against them, they did not get to enjoy the success without discrimination. It’s very important to recognize that women’s roles in the past were immensely undermined, and to make sure that we as a society do everything to put those discriminatory ideas behind us and progress towards gender equality.
In The Odyssey, Odysseus’ greatest strength is his trust and
his compassion to his men. Though he
trusted and is compassionate to his men, this will only become his strength if
his men follow his orders. This same
strength became his weakness when his men didn’t follow his instructions as he
is also seen as a boastful person.
