Assertion Article Reviews Samples For Students

Monique Wittig asserts that lesbians are not women. The argument has not only excited academic and non-academic interest, but perhaps most importantly, it defies dominant cultural definitions and categorizations of sexuality and gender. This argument also threatens the established theoretical structure of political work that is founded upon women’s identity, including feminism. There is effectively no natural categorization of women, and thus equally no natural subject matter upon which feminism could be founded. Hale questions the possibility that women do not exist outside the conceptual context of the heterosexual political regimes. Instead, Hale develops an alternative construction of ...

The article entitled “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” written by Amy Chua and published online in The Wall Street Journal proffered pertinent issues relative to the alleged superiority of Chinese mothers in raising their children. Chua contended that Chinese parents apply a significantly anti-thetical parenting style, as compared to Western parents, that focuses on three perspectives: (1) not being overly anxious on the children’s self-esteem; (2) believing that children owe parents everything; and (3) parents know what is best for their children and therefore decide for them, especially to the extent that children’s preferences and desires are overridden. ...

Summary of Acemoglu’s video

In this video, economist Daron Acemoglu explains why nations fail economically. He singles out “extractive” political institutions as the biggest impediment to a nation’s economic prosperity.

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

Technology is advancing at an alarming, almost exponential rate; as human progress increases, so does technology, and its effects on our society become somewhat more truncated. Vincent Mosco, in his article “When Old Myths Were New: The Ever-Ending Story,” notes that human society has a tendency to repeat history when it comes to technological advances; with each new stop, we hail our latest invention to be the be-all end-all for communication technology, ignoring that we have done that many times before. According to Mosco, “there is indeed a remarkably willful, historical amnesia about technology, particularly when it turns to communication and ...

Bernhard Grzimek

Synopsis of the Article

According to the article, Mackerel sharks belong to class Chondrichthyes and order Lamniformes.

It is worth noting that most of the fossils obtained encompass isolate teeth with most of lamniforme teeth being widespread in a plethora of marine localities in almost all the continents of the world. However, there is a paucity of ...
