Ten Days in a Madhouse
Since the beginning of time people have been facing problems and dedicating their lives to know all different causes and fixes of these problems, to be able to understand any concern we would have to identify it evaluate it and analyze the causes. Our society faces many problems such as sexism, discrimination, oppression, inequality and injustice. Many of us and that’s what the writer Nellie Bly witnessed and faced, she faced gender stereotypes, inequality and oppression. She struggled to pass through them in her youth. Nellie wanted to do something to change the world, so she pursued her studies in journalism after graduating. Which was a great start to a bigger plan. Journalism gave Nellie a voice that can make a difference by delivering her thoughts to people and raise awareness of the society. After many of her unsuccessful attempts on getting one of her reports with her feminist point of views and perspectives about social issues to be published, she actually got the opportunity of her life by a request made by her editor asking to get admitted to the Women’s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island to expose all activities done within the facility and evaluate the facility’s regime.
In many experiences that we face as a gendered patriarchal society is double standards and sexism. The facility that Bly visited was run by sexist and backward thinkers who ran the place in an unjust way. Many of asylum’s policies that exhibits inequality, gender discrimination and stereotyping. One of the policies was that female patients weren’t able to ask for réévaluation for their mental health state which means that they can’t be reconsidered to be sane if they were wrongly admitted and on the other hand male patients were allowed to request a réévaluation and would be considered and listened to more. Getting into the asylum and living with the patients in this environment had its many possible bad outcomes that might result after this experience and how exposing oneself to such environment might affect one’s life. She could’ve gotten stuck or trapped in the asylum physically or even worse she could’ve lost her sanity and her mental health as the experience obviously and the exposure to this oppression would lead to mental psychological distress. Bly seemed to dismiss all these obvious possibilities of these outcomes and continued and went through this unpleasant process to seek justice for the mentally ill and the oppressed under this inhumane system. She was persistent and this showed how dedicated she is to her beliefs and how genuine and selfless person she was.
The psychological damage they caused to their patients instead of treating their existing illness didn’t only come from inequality and dismissing to giving care to patients but they also abused their power and abused their patients giving them unsanitary living experience, unhealthy and toxic abusive treatment from doctors and nurses and food provided was unappetizing.Power is a really dangerous tool if given to the wrong people. Many brutal activities were being practiced in the asylum by the doctors and nurses, they used different methods to let patients feel vulnerable and humiliated. Lack of water and towels and many of the most essential daily usage consumer goods weren’t provided although they were available. They had a daily dull routine that the most exciting time of their day would be those three eating time periods. Also, the most bizarre thing Nellie mentioned is that the more she acted or talked normal or sane the more they were convinced she’s insane.
The patients who were admitted and were actually ill were disregarded and not given any treatment, even patients who get sick were not provided with any treatment. Many of immigrant women who were admitted were completely sane but were admitted because they spoke another language and they didn’t bother to understand them and threw them in the facility with the mentally ill and insane. The fact that they didn’t speak the language gave them even more difficulties, the couldn't communicate therefore explaining what’s wrong with them and their situation to the doctors was nearly impossible. Also, many of the patients were healthy yet admitted and disregarded. Most of the healthy admitted patients were losing their sanity living in this unhealthy environment and have being treated oppressively. Concluded by the fact that in most cases, patients have no say for getting admitted nor released out of the asylum.
After Bly was ordered to be released and her article about the asylum got published, the public praised her bravery and admired her courage. Her story went viral and Bly got famous although that wasn't environment and
treatment for the mentally ill. After documenting and exposing all their dark activities the court

After documenting and exposing all their dark activities the court ordered to start and investigation and requested a visit to the asylum with reporters to check on the place. The doctors and nurses covered their tracks and they pretended to provide patients with treatments and they hid all the flawed parts of their corrupted facility.
After the trial, it was ruled that patients must get heavily examined to be certain that people who are admitted are mentally ill and make sure they get the right treatment. Bly visited the Asylum and that was a month after the article she published have got a great hit, the mental health institutions got a higher budget and a better system. When Bly visited the Asylum after the article she noticed a lot that has changed, from the food provided to the sanitation and the immigrant women were ordered to be released and transferred. Many other things were changed and improved, Bly is indeed a hero she not only worked hard and fought the corrupt system, she had succeeded to make change.

Hidden Figures
Tentative Thesis: Hidden Figures is a black women’s success story that captures the true essence of what it means to pursue one’s dreams. However, the movie also fails in some ways as it tries to showcase itself as a feminist movie instead of a black feminist movie. Additionally, it fails in the way it showcases white men as being the rescuers instead of the true picture of the disdain that was often directed towards Africans.
Arnold, Lauren. Renaming Blaxploitation by looking at today’s film: Black Heroes, White Villains, and Trump’s America. The University of Colorado. 2019
Arnold’s article is one that is centered on the topic of Blaxploitation. This word was used to describe movies that were made by African Americans in the 70s. He notes that even though movies made by African Americans and with characters from the same race have evolved, they still exhibit similar attributes. One thing that comes out clearly from his work is his criticism of the movie in how it deviates from the message it ought to portray. He claims that in the movie, men are portrayed as the villains and this deviates from the main story because issues like segregation and racism were the evils of the time. Aside from the above, Arnold also appears to notice the packaging of the movie as a feminist movie instead of a black feminist movie. This he believes takes away attention from the real matters the movie was meant to address.
Banks, Martha. Half a century overdue. PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62, No. 23, pp. 1-5
Banks is a research neuropsychologist as well as a former professor at Kent State University and The College of Wooster. She wrote a great review of the movie Hidden Figures and in her review, she highlights several things. Banks believes that this is a movie that was long overdue because what it showcases is the foundation of black resiliency. One thing that stands out in her article, however, is the fact that she highlights instances of the movie that seems to be sanitizing the white males. Banks acknowledges that Harrison did open doors of opportunity for Goble. However, he is portrayed as heroic as well as other male characters like the policeman who escorts Goble and her friends to work. Her frustration is based on the fact that these scenes distract the viewer from empathizing with the women who sought to right wrongs directed towards them.
Cruz, Lenika. What sets the smart heroines of Hidden Figures Apart. The Atlantic. /entertainment/archive/2017/01/hidden-figures-review/512252/. Accessed November 11, 2019.
Cruz is an accomplished editor with The Atlantic. Currently, she deals with culture and works as a senior associate editor. While her article can be considered as a review, it does more than offer a review of the movie. Cruz offers an observation that can be easily ignored, but one that helps to enhance the movie. She notes that Hidden Figures is a movie that offers a break from the normal math or science movies. She notes that this movie is one that showcases brilliance and not ego. Cruz shows that the movie takes a different direction in how it develops each character, their stories, as well as how human the characters are. It en...
