The purpose of this blog is to actively engage in local, national, and global issues for further enrichment of intellectual, spiritual, social and cultural selves in a rapidly changing world.
Through reading Dowd's article, I could agree with many of the points she made. She brought it into focus that while America is a country that prides itself on equality of every sort, some private institutions aren't living up to this standard. I agree with her opinion that International Olympic Committee should follow through with a ban of Saudi Arabia from the Olympics, since they are showing a blatant disrespect for women, and their role in society by not sponsoring a women's team in the Olympics. Following in this tradition, American golf sponsors should remove their ties with the Augusta National Golf Club. By enforcing some sanctions to help reduce this type of discrimination within the country, it might provide a better influence to other countries. America and Obama can't claim to hold women in such high regard, if there are still social injustices occurring withing the country.
