Gender Considerations in Self Reliance
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining whether self-reliance
is a gender-linked trait. Society's expectations increasingly appear to be that all individuals,
regardless of sex or personal situation, either should be self reliant or be striving to be. A
parent's taking time off from work to raise a child is acceptable, but even the phrasing
indicates that such time off is only temporary in nature. Those without physical or mental
disabilities who still are unable to be self-reliant are viewed as irresponsible. Bibliography

Gender Inequality: Created By Social Institutions
[ send me this paper ]

Gender Issues in Opera/Bartok & Bluebeard
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page research paper that examines the issues of gender in opera and specifically in regards to Bela Bartok's work Bluebeard's Castle. Bartok wrote but one opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, a short work based upon a grisly fairy tale. Psychologically and symbolically complex, the opera's narrative not only represents Bartok's conceptualization of gender, but also reflects the operatic heritage that preceded him. Examination of the concepts of gender that form the characterization of both Duke Bluebeard and his young bride Judith, shows that, in both cases, they reflect societal stereotypes and operatic tradition. However, close examination of these gendered conceptions also hints at a developing sensibilities and criticism of these paradigms. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
