Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper informing them about the bravery of a village girl who protested against the dowry s
muminat

Dear Mrs./Ms./Mr. ...

My name is ... and the reason I'm reaching out to you is my belief that people should know about a certain person named ... She lives in a village in India and has recently become a hero for some and an outcast for others.

..., as many other girls in her country, was brought up in a traditional family whose values were taught her, but certainly not accepted without questioning and resistance. She has, even though with little support at first, decided to fight an ancient system she believes to be most unfair.

She has refused to get married in an attempt to protest against the dowry system. She belives it to be a tradition worth letting go of, one that keeps women where they do not belong: below, as someone who not only has the obligation of getting married, but the obligation of paying for it.

... has suffered a great deal and had it not been for some good friends and social media, she might not have had any of the acknowledgment she has now gained.

I believe, however, that more can be done for her through your newspaper. If her story were to be shared and known this way, it might open the doors for her to become an official speaker on behalf of all the women who live under the same circumstances.

I truly hope you'll take my request into consideration. For further information about her, you may contact me at...

Sincerely,

...

Situation : A homeless man usually sleeps at daytime on a bench in a park near a very busy bus stop. Discussion : • Do you think
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Yes, I think people have the right to sleep in a park because the park is a public place.

Solution:

My first solution would be that jobs have better pay. Most jobs do not pay enough money to keep up with the cost of living. Pay should actually be $30 an hour to keep up, but on average it's $8.00 -$15.00 per hour. As brutal as it may sound, jobs do not need to raise their paying hours because they can hire millions of people who won't complain about the pay, and if they do up the pay, then that'll mean less money for them.

Try to learn a skill. Since learning a skill takes time and a lot of discipline, most people don't want to do it because they figure it may be too hard or too difficult, so that's why they decide to just work in physical, hard labor work for the low pay.
