The NWO is actually a culmination of what the majority of american people are practicing, whether they are seeing it or not. The majority has proven to the marketters and politicians of the world that what they are doing is the right thing. We are going to accept what is told to us through all forms of communication without investigation and research. Why? Because we will accept faith blindly without question. Please post more information and ideas relating to this subject if you are interested.

my essay can someone read and see what i can work on?
its about misogyny in throughout literature. mainly about shakespeare
Throughout history, writers and poets have been putting
misogynistic notions in poems, plays and stories that possibly reflected their
own feeling for the opposite sex. From the Greek literature and mythology
to William Shakespeare’s plays, there are many different forms of misogyny
that may simple be prejudiced against all women, or may hate women who
do not fall into one or more acceptable categories.
Ancient world, such as in Greece and Judea, in which stories
and legends of the Fall of Man into a world of tragedy and death had been
brought about by a woman. In the origin stories of Christianity, the first
humans, Adam and Eve, lived at first with God in a paradise, but are then
tempted by another creature to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good
and evil from which God had forbidden them to eat. After they ate the
Apple, God told the Eve “ I will greatly increase your pang in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your
husband, and he shall rule over you.” which clearly stated that women are
ruled by men.
In Greek mythology, the human race had already existed
previous to the creation of women - a peaceful, autonomous existence as a
companion to the gods. But when Prometheus decided to steal the secret of
fire from the gods, Zeus becomes infuriated and decided to punish
humankind with Pandora, the first woman, who carried a jar she was told
never to open. Epimetheus is overwhelmed by her beauty, disregards
Prometheus’ warnings about her, and marries her. Pandora cannot resist
peeking into the jar, and by opening it unveils all evil into the world; labor,
sickness, old age and death. In both the Bible and Greek mythology, all
unsatisfactory circumstances are blamed on woman.
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright,
widely regarded as the greatest writer in English language is considered by
some to be a misogynist. In The New American Webster Dictionary
“interpretatio” is defined as a noun to explain or tell the meaning of: present
in understandable terms. The way people interpret what they read
determines how they feel about the text. Although William Shakespeare
frowns upon women who are mischievous, opened, and dominative, the
time period in which the plays were written has a different perspective than
the present.
In the famous play, Macbeth, Lady Macbeth fulfills her role
among the nobility and is well respected like Macbeth. She is loving to her
husband but at the same time very ambitious which benefit her and her
husband equally. After she heard about Macbeth’s prophecies, she
immediately concludes that the fastest way for Macbeth to become king is
by murdering King Duncan. Lady Macbeth’s immediate thoughts make her
appear as thoroughly irreligiously cold and ambitious. She manipulates
Macbeth into killing the King by questioning his manhood and his love for
her and successful because regardless of his own conscience Macbeth
carried out their plan of murder. Shakespeare gave us an image that a strong
women are evil and malicious one that put spread more hatred toward
women. However, Shakespeare also showed a different side of Lady
Macbeth. To prepare for what she feels must be done she called on evil
spirits in order to be relentless, other wise her conscience would not allow
her to act. This show that Lady Macbeth has a conscience and her morals
had prevailed just a while before as revealed through her comment that she
would have killed Ducan herself had he not “resembled her father as he
slept”. Perhaps all Shakespeare wanted to tell us is that good people will do
bad things under circumstances.
The debate over whether or not Shakespeare is a misogynistic
writer can be argued infinitely from either side. Surely, hower, the question
is complicated; and giving the historical period in which Shakespeare wrote,
during which male supremacy was taken for granted even by powerful
women, this complexity is in itself remarkable.
In the play Cymbeline, most expressions of misogyny,
Shakespeare provides us with a Queen, a woman who is indeed duplicitous
and vengeful. She unsuccessfully attempted to have Imogen poisoned and
Cymbeline killed so her own son could assume the throne. But even the
Queen, in her heart, is constant to the one she loves, her son Cloten. When
Cloten goes missing, the Queen dies of grief, which is more than we can say
of, for Cymbeline when his daughter goes missing. Even in the comically
wicked Queen, the issue of misogyny is complex. On the whole, it appears
that Shakespeare has given us a largely unjust, male-run society, one in
which Imogen is judged guilty of a crime she did not commit and forced to
disguse her sex merely to survive this false judgement. The case can be
made, on the basis of Cymbeline, for Shakespeare may be a proto-feminist
in this one.
It is the reality that since societies had been sexist until the
feminist movement in the 20th century. What we need to understand is that
in the time when the writers and poets wrote their literatures, misogyny was
excepted in the culture. But in the end its up to the reader to interpret what
he or she wants it to be.
Wow! >>4 really did some homework! I would probably look into the Jewish Torrah or Quran to look for signs of this as well. I remember from some old sayings from the Quran that women are more in touch with who they are, more spiritually inclined you could say, and had something to do with knowing what choice was and having faith in themselves. It was perhaps because of this that the Church had midwives burnt so as to silence not only their choices, but also to limit the amount of ideas that were purpetrated into people's minds, witches if you will. Basically, women became the scapegoats at that time, later (or earlier) it was cats (if I remember correctly). Sin eating was common too in Ireland. Did you know that a lot of common beliefs are based upon old traditions that never really died out? Scapegoating was a ritual that was practiced in old times to place the sins upon the back of a goat and send it into the wild to die as it could not fend for itself. If you see this, what parallels might you draw between misogyny and segregation? And how about between passing-the-buck and scapegoating? Blame? Why do we do these things? What is forcing us to place our (sins) accountabilities upon the backs of (goats) others? What are we protecting when we do this? Answer this and you may have a more in-depth idea as to the nature of your inquiry. Good luck with your research!

Misogynistic tendencies are rampent in more countries and the written and spoken words of poets, authors, and play-writes. It isn't uncommon, this subject that you're uncovering. Keep doing research as you have been, and also I would look into segregative associations that parallel this idea in similar places that you are looking. The African-American man isn't represented as a well-respected individual throughout a lot of historical texts either. And the jewish religion as well has been pursecuted by many of the worlds nations and peoples. It's not uncommon. If you wish to settle on just this subject alone, you may find yourself stopping short of the revelation that awaits you at the end of that tunnel. What is it we are protecting by pursecuting another?

"can be argued infinitely" should be indefinitely.
"It is the reality that since societies had been sexist until the
feminist movement in the 20th century." This is a new thesis, not a conclusion.
