4. RESEARCH ON ABORTION
Definition of abortion : Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy.
Arguments against abortion :
Killing people is wrong
a foetus is a person
killing potential people is wrong
Causing pain is wrong
Increasing tolerance of killing is wrong
Arguments in favour of abortion:
The foetus is not necessarily a 'person' with the right to live
It is not always wrong to end the life of an innocent person (in case of having to
choose, conjoined twins)
'Potential human beings' don't have rights (only active)
The pregnant woman has moral rights too
Is it better to have an abortion or have the baby for it so suffer and have no
conditions?

Feminism is the society’s thought that women should be submissive to men
Until the mergence of feminism women were treated almost like objects,
passive agents in a male’s world
1970s activists battling for women’s liberation and equal opportunities.
1975 sex equality was finally passed forward.
Feminist theory has developed from this liberation activism
As feminism theory evolved it led to a range of critical writing about the role of
women in our contemporary society and also the role of women in media.
Feminists believe we live in a patriarchal society and therefore men are who
dominate society and everyone else is subordinate to them, it can also be
debated that media is constructed for men as audience.
19th century feminists opposed abortion due to their belief in worth of all
humans

and messaging to the point where virtual, online friends become more
important than real-life relationships with family and friends.

but too much time online can make things worse.
You have any other addictions. May suffer from other addictions, such as
drugs, alcohol and gambling.
Use it as social support. Internet addicts often use social networking sites,
instant messaging, or online gaming as a safe way of establishing new
relationships and more confidently relating to others.
You’re an unhappy teenager. You might be wondering where you fit in and the
Internet could make you feel more comfortable than real-life friends.
You are less mobile or socially active than you once were. For example, you
may be parenting very young children, which can make it hard to leave the house
or connect with old friends.

have the opposite effect. The longer you spend online, the higher your stress
levels will be.
