Unit 2 Draft Introduction

Is Surrogacy an Exploitation of Women’s Rights? I am interested in this topic.  Today’s society is a society where men and women are equal. The law and the idea of equality between men and women are advocated by people. I think it is a progressive thing.  When I learned from the Internet that some people buy other people’s babies with money, I was surprised, because this behavior in my opinion is like the goods of women being traded on the spot, just like primitive society.  A child should be an important part of a person’s life, and trading commodities on the spot with his mother is not a violation of morality.  I expect to learn why surrogacy occurs and is considered legal in some states. Because I don’t think it’s a normal business move but an exploitative act. I expect to learn what groups of people choose to pay for their children through surrogacy, and whether their actions violate women’s rights.  I hope to learn what role women who become surrogates play in this process, tools or volunteers.  And whether they have been subjected to involuntary forced surrogacy in the process, causing their rights to be violated.  If I find information that goes completely against what I expected to find,  I will still continue to write my think.  I believe that the presence of different voices in the question can help subsequent readers to think independently about the question, rather than completely follow the author’s ideas.

Baldwin response

“The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. ” Baldwin proposed that education is the way to make a person have an independent personality and make people think independently. Educated people can judge the right or wrong of a thing, and will not be homogenized by the opinions thrown out by society. When others say something, he will only agree with it without thinking.

“If he lives in one of those housing projects of which everyone in New York is so proud, he has at the front door, if not closer, the pimps, the whores, the junkies – in a word, the danger of life in the ghetto. And the child knows this, though he doesn’t know why”I think that children are the future of society, and the kind of person a child will become is related to the environment in which he grows up. When a child lives in a abnormal environment, how can we ensure that he will not become a abnormal person in the future?  This future society will also become an abnormal society.

“In order to justify the fact that men were treated as though they were animals, the white republic had to brainwash itself into believing that they were, indeed, animals and deserved to be treated like animals. Therefor it is almost impossible for any Negro child to discover anything about his actual history. The reason is that this ‘animal,’ once
he suspects his own worth, once he starts believing that he is a man, has begun to attack the entire power structure. ” The Republic denies the actual history of Negro children in order to brainwash them.  It’s a simple method, but it doesn’t solve the problem, it just makes the contradictions worse when they arise.  The social look like to be numbing itself with drugs.

when he says the world is larger, I believe he is not despairing about the future, but he is confident that this predicament can be resolved. As he said, it’s a wide world where people can find an idea to save America today.  When we look from another angle, we can always find that the country is not completely such a failure. It still has something to praise, so instead of despairing about its future, work to change that difficulty.

History is a fragment of civilization, and a country is a part of civilization.  To deny history is to deny the counter itself.  So we should not forget or deny history, we need to learn and understand it. Learning history should be an integral part of the education system.  If this is not changed, the country’s problems may one day explode more violently,like a ticking time bomb.
