2 Today’s GoalsToday’s Goals You will be able to: Form an initial opinion on the Global Issue of Unjust Treatment Under the Law. You will do this by: Responding to a question about Unjust Treatment Under the Law, and completing readings and annotations on the issue.

3 Global Issue 3: Unjust Treatment Under The Law When a law is enforced in a way that violates the rights of an individual or multiple individuals. Case Study: Women’s right to be treated the same as men under the law. Susan B. Anthony (1820 – 1906)

6 Assignment 1. Take a Stand: Write a CEEC paragraph responding to the following prompt. Try to draw on empirical or logical evidence in your paragraph.  If you are aware of unjust treatment under the law, is it your personal responsibility to stand up against it until it is completely fixed, or does there come a time when it’s appropriate for you to stand down? 2. Refine Your Position: Read and annotate “On Women’s Right to Vote” (pp. 151-152). Evidence provided here is mostly LOGICAL.  There will be two additional texts with EMPIRICAL evidence provided tomorrow. This is not a question about Women’s Rights. Rather, Women’s Rights is the case study we’re using to expand on the question.
