I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Slaves Oppression. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The slaves were struggling to be in higher or better ranks of slavery that is, the “field-hands” slaves were fighting to become “house slaves.” This was because the slaves who worked in the whites’ homes were entitled to proper housing conditions, could eat better foods and be expected to perform less harsh jobs.

In her article, Octavia reiterates that in as much as the slaves had to vie to work as house slaves, working in the whites’ houses came with many challenges. These problems were mostly faced by the women who worked there since those roles could mostly be taken up by the females. She gives an example of female slaves who reported rape cases within themselves to maintain their positions of being house slaves. They never had their personal freedoms with their sexual body and could be inhumanly harassed by their owners. This condition of slavery makes Butler create a portrait of emotional charge showing the cruelty in slavery with all the accuracy in history that she can muster (Butler240).

The novel points out the aspect of feminism in the slaves’ oppression. Dana is an example of the female slaves who went through domination in 1976, having attained only 26 years by the time of enslavement (Butler29). This shows how the most vulnerable of the blacks (the women) were exploited by the whites’ power since they could not fight for themselves. Dana further expresses her pain in parenthood stating that she seemed to be the worst possible parent. It felt so demeaning bringing up a child in a society where she felt so inferior (Butler 77).

Write a 10 pages paper on taboo topic of conversation in united states. The comment made that person embarrassed and he just shrugged and smiles politely, cleaning his sweaty face. He asked again, “The reason you are perspiring much, is because you are fat right?” 1 As the comments were addressed in a very natural and light tone, as if he was stating the mere fact that the earth is round or the roses are red, the guy just changed the subjects and avoided the topic. It might appear very apparent and obvious to most of us, that the topic raised by the Chilean gentleman could be offensive but the person to whom they were addressed understood that there was no rudeness or malice intended (Wooten, A, n.d.). In American culture talking about certain subjects is considered as taboo, but in other countries they are considered as very normal and acceptable discussion topics. If the commend would have been from someone in United States, the response would have been entirely different. The response and patience people differs from person to person. As males develop a thick skin towards such remarks, females have benefited themselves by preparing emotionally for reacting to similar comments. With the passage of time people have started to feel comfortable with the fact that the perceived insults or slights are not regarded with malicious intentions, it is just that the political correctness and social etiquettes are different from one culture to another (Wooten, A, n.d.). The similar cultural difference tale was witnessed by Japanese who owned Tech Company in the U.S. According to him, the businesses are also affected by the cultural taboos. During a visit to his colleagues in Japan, he felt very awkward during a business meeting as the Japanese supervisor continually criticized the weight of the employees, advising them to exercise and set goals for weight loss. It was a state of confusion as the visitor felt uncomfortable about the peculiar spectacle, since he was the largest person in the room and he wasn’t told to shape up. At the end of the meeting, the individual reached the superior to discuss the situation. It was indicated by the Japanese executive that he clearly realizes that discussion of weight topic is a taboo in America, and he respected the differences of the cultures. The American took up the challenge to face the issues related to his weight and lost 100 pounds since then. 2 No matter where a person resides either in the United States or in Japan, whenever contacting with an international associate it is necessary to pay attention not to commit these taboos. As all good deed from the past will be vanished because of one single mistake committed which might be a serious one for the other individual. A topic of conversation can easily influence the image of a person there are, some of the topics that Americans are not comfortable being questioned: Firstly, the age. Age is considered as a very sensitive issue for most of the Americans, especially when it come to women over the age of 30. In in this young advocating culture, the idea of growing old is considered very painful. Most people, if possible, like to have nothing to do with its edges. While some of them don’t like to questioned, there are some people who maintain their youthful appearance and they want to be asked, “How old are you?”. Americans have very different views on age.
