Gender Roles: How They Affect Health
[ send me this paper ]
17 pages in length. The male and female genders bear many differences when it comes to their respective mental, emotional and physical states. Typically – and some say only because of cultural indoctrination – men and women, boys and girls each have their own set of standards by which they live, effectively and ultimately maintaining a certain degree of gender compliance. This separation, however, often results in a literal tearing down of one's defenses, be they mental, emotional and/or physical. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Gender Stratification in the Canadian Workplace
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page discussion of the differing social expectations in Canada which result in an unequal representation of women in the professional workplace. Notes that Canada would prefer to import trained professionals rather than take advantage of Canadian women who are interested in entering the professional workplace. Contrasts this difference with the much more progressive workplace atmosphere of Japan and suggests that the cause of these discrepancies lies both in history and in the contemporary Canadian home. Suggests that girls who are provided positive professional female role models will be more eager to pursue professional occupations. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Gender/Socially Constructed
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that examines the concept that gender roles are socially constructed. The terms "gender" and "sex" are often used interchangeably by the public, which implies that the sex of an individual necessarily determines the way that they will behave and that the social norms regarding gender expectations are biologically controlled. Contrasting to this view, social scientists have shown that the only fact that is biologically determined is the ability to be either a mother or a father. Gender, that is, male or female behavioral norms within a given culture, are socially constructed, not biologically determined. If gender roles had a basis in human biology then men and women would behave similarly across culture boundaries and this is not the case. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Gender: Nature Or Nurture?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Gender issues span a significant range of concerns based upon performance, intelligence and aptitude; however, the very fundamental components of such social struggle stem from whether nature or nurture commands greater credit and why. Patriarchy has long assumed that the male gender is, by nature, regarded as superior over its female counterpart; while this mentality has been somewhat reversed in certain global communities, it still takes precedent in many others that refuse to alter centuries-worth of tradition. Of the myriad occasions for the nature/nurture argument to exist, sports and language represent two where the student might apply a combination of both aspects. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses the short story classic. The writer argues that Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" can be understood as offering a multifaceted reflection of Victorian patriarchal, imperialist sensibilities as a whole. The narrative deals with the journal entries of an unnamed female protagonist, a wife and mother who descends slowly into seeming insanity. However, the implied characterization of her husband/physician John suggests a poststructuralist interpretation that pictures the narrator in the position of colonial populations who were dominated by Western Victorian men, such as John.

Gloria Anzaldua
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that discusses the fascinating career of this extraordinary writer. The life of Gloria Evangelina Anzaldua (1942-2004) was remarkable, as she was a "poet, thinker and activist," who death robbed the world far too soon of a vibrant intellect and a compelling writer (Oboler 296). Anzaldua will be remember as a feminist and also as a lesbian who wrote compelling about gay rights and argued persuasively for toleration and love. However, among her many accomplishments, her contribution to the "collective examination of the tenuous location of Latinas and Latinos within the contours" of American culture is perhaps where she will be remembered best.

Group Dynamics Proposal: Gender Tolerance Groups in a Military Environment
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page group proposal discussing the possibility of establishment of gender tolerance sessions within the regular course of military training. An increased population of women in the military should be reflected by gender tolerance activities within a working team environment. By combining group dynamic research in regards to business organizational structures and mentoring aspects which have proven more beneficial in regards to diversified groups, the group leader would hope to establish not only increased gender tolerance and awareness through education and group activities but by forming smaller groups within the sessions comprised of two group faultlines (age/experience and gender), the sessions would provide an opportunity for the members to gain valuable social, professional and working team skills within a mixed gender environment.

Hildegard of Bingen: Attitudes Toward Men And Women
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Hildegard of Bingen was considered a trendsetter of her time; not only did she speak openly of sexual relations between a man and a woman, but she addressed myriad other topics that, up until her literary candor, had only been discussed in private. One area in particular that Hildegard approached with vehemence and resolution is that of the importance of men and women within the context of society. These attitudes are generally equal in respect; however, the one point the can be argued as being more significant than the others relates to her opinion of Adam and Eve. In Causeae et Curae, she argued that if Adam had succumbed to the serpent instead of Eve, the original sin thus created would have been too strong to be overcome at all. Otherwise, she believed that the roles both men and women assume within the social environment are complementary, both required for the proper functioning of society. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

How Are Basic Elements Of The World-View Of A People Or Group Embodied In The Stories They Tell?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Basic elements of world-view are exhibited in many fashions, however, none are more vivid and palpable than those put forth through stories. That a writer can envelope his or her reading audience by way of the written word speaks to the power of authored communication and the manner by which it can easily portray the struggle of an entire people. Zora Neale Hurston's Mules and Men exposes myriad components of the author's world-view such as racism, poverty and cultural identity -- which is readily interchangeable as a representation of the overall black community -- however, a more subtle but just as important aspect of her perspective is that of being a powerful black woman amidst the oppression of an intolerant society.

How Women Are Perceived According To The Kaballah And Jewish Mysticism

Hunger as a Metaphor /Sexual Desire
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that examines food and hunger as cultural metaphors. Food is a basic need. It fulfills the biological requirements of hunger, but it fulfills broader cultural goals as signified by the numerous metaphors that surround its use. Susan Bordo, in her essay "Hunger as Ideology," addresses the numerous metaphors that employed for hunger in American society, particularly in regards to advertising. A pivotal point in Bordo's discussion is how hunger and food are frequently featured in advertising and culture as terms that are synonymous with sexual desire, particularly in regards to women. This examination of this metaphorical relationship between sex, desire, food and femininity demonstrates that the extent to which this metaphor describes a cultural perception, but it also demonstrates the limits of this metaphor in regards to the manner in which it overlays the deeper context of society's fears about female sexuality.

Ibsen & Gilman/Women's Place in Society
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page essay that contrasts and compares the narratives of Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper." The writer argues that these works portray the subjugated position of women under nineteenth century patriarchy, and that a close reading of these works reveals not only that the female protagonist in each work feels compelled to rebel against the social restrictions that circumscribe their lives, but that the patriarchal framework of society serves, in general, to keep husbands and wives alienated from one another, preventing the true intimacy that is the bedrock of a successful marriage.

Ibsen Meets Euripides (Nora and Medea)

(5 pp). Remember some old saying that you heard as a kid: The more things change, the more they stay the same. As a kid the phrase did not make a lot of sense, and by the time you were an adult, you did not want it to be true, let alone make sense. There is that same thread of commonality in both of the female "heroes," in this discussion: society has determined what their roles are and how long they are to enact them. Enter Nora and Medea, who both prove to have minds of their own. Bibliography lists 2 sources)
