Derek Pearsall’s essay “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: An Essay in Enigma” is part of The Chaucer Review’s commemorative issue celebrating the work of C. David Benson as he approaches the age of retirement. Pearsall hearkens back to his master’s thesis days when he writes about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; he begins by noting that even though he is quite familiar with the plot of this tale, to the point where he can tell a slightly less salacious version of the tale to his children and grandchildren. However, he also points out that ...

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 ...

Morgan, Jana, Rosario Espinal, and Jonathan Hartlyn. 2008. “Gender politics in the Dominican Republic: Advances for women, ambivalence from men.” Politics & Gender 4 (January): 35-63.
Article by Morgan and Hartlyn analyzes the political participation of women in the Dominican Republic between1994-2004 and explains the gender gap. Authors presented two concepts such as traditional and modern gender gap. Four national public surveys of 1994, 1997, 2001, and 2004 were used as the main source of data. Authors analyzed the gender gap by surveying the public opinion on interest in politics, civic engagement and whether the women are supported ...

Introduction

I chose this article because it examines the fundamental issues in contemporary society. This is so because it examines the cultural ideologies that degrade the old age in society. These cultural norms are motivated by the media, which attribute the female body with consumer culture. Therefore, society should realize that aging is a sense of maturity and should embrace it as a Self-identities associated to the appearance and performance of the bodies. Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

Summary

The article uses a feminist approach to explore aging ...

The two dangerous assumptions that are held in the research in gender different include the following. The assumption that, if we find a sex differences in some ability or kind of behavior, that means that all males do a particular thing and all females do some quite different thing ( for example, all men are aggressive, and all females are passive and peace-loving). Test scores of males and females overlap and thus, finding a sex difference does not mean that all women are one way and all men are one way. Therefore, knowing ones sex cannot possibly be used to predict the behavior ...

Forrest, A. A. (1993). View from outside the wale: The treatment of women and unions in industrial relations. In Women challenging unions: feminism, democracy and militancy. Linda Briskin and Patricia McDermott, eds. Toronto, ON: University of Toronto Press.
This chapter explains how industrial relations as a female discipline suppressed women activism to almost invisible levels. Without doubt, this chapter delves on issues of gender, labor, work, and changes that have occurred in both academic cycles and policy in that period. The authors successfully make women activism visible while giving a brief history of involvement of women in unions. Unsuccessful visibility ...

Psychology

In their research “The emotional roots of conspiratorial perceptions, system justification, and belief in the paranormal”, Whitson, Galinsky and Kay (2014) addressed human emotions that are linked with the uncertainty of the world. They suggest a hypothesis that these emotions (such as fear, surprise, hope, etc.) should promote the need to endow the world with structure and order using a variety of compensatory measures.
The reason to conduct the experiments described in the article was a desire to prove that the certainty of the emotions plays a greater role than its valence in the process of activating compensatory control. Moreover, the experiments ...

Why do Drug Dealers still live with their Moms?

This chapter explains about the culture of drug which explores a fascinating perspective concerning about drugs in an extremely poor south Chicago neighborhood. It has also observed the daily activities and cause or effect actions with those long-drawn-out individual behaviors. The main concern of this chapter is to prove the mistaken misconception for those who are drug dealers and produce lots of money. It also describes about the incredible issues and troubles that have occurred with youths who have turned to the streets as they don’t have an option or parent to contribute in drug dealing. According to Levitt ...

Jennifer Conlin, writer of “The Freedom to Choose Your Pronouns,” explores gender fluidity in teenagers and college aged students. She asserts that this is just another way teenagers are trying to go against the grain, but she also pairs this with showing that this is not just an American trend. During an interview, she recalls an individual’s example of gender fluidity by saying, “Maybe one day you wake up and feel more like a boy.” While this does not quite define the complexities of gender expression, it is one example that is easy for the general public to understand. ...

Mims-Word, M. (2012) in her article entitled “The Importance of Technology Usage in Classroom, Does Gender Gaps Exist” pointed out the need for the use of technology in classrooms. It explained that as of 2005, 99% of classrooms in the country have access to computers with internet connection. It is much higher than the situation in 1994 where only 35% has access. On the other hand, Mims-Word raised the issue of gender gap in terms of skills and access among the students. She expounded that starting from the household; boys are encouraged to play ...

Analytical Report on “Why I Want Women to Lean In”

The article that this report is going to analyze goes by the title of “Why I Want Women to Lean In”. The target article recorded the fact that the societies have grown flexible and tolerant towards working women in recent years, but still, the men are controlling the affairs from behind the scenes (Sandberg, 2). The claim does not appear to be valid because the females are having formal authority in different fields of life, and the author did not provide any tangible evidence that could have backed up her claims so we are not going to take her ...

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 ...

Question 1
According to Joan Scott, gender is defined as “a constitutive element of social relationships based on perceived differences between the sexes and a primary way of signifying relationships of power.” On the other hand, Goffman claims that, “If gender be defined as the culturally established correlates of sex (whether in consequence of biology or learning), then gender display refers to conventionalized portrayals of these correlates. “In Scott context, biology is excluded the explanation of gender and the perception of individuals put into consideration. One is perceived a woman when she tends to behave and speak in an ...

In the scientific method, the type of methodology and data-gathering needed depends on the type of data required, and ultimately, the problem presented. In every situation this varies, and there is the best methodology for every type of problem in scientific experimentations.
It is reported, however, that in the study of gender stereotypes, experimentations result into flawed interpretations, with limitations and data variables not clearly defined, that ultimately lead to distortions to the point of fallacy in these stereotypes. (Caplan, 1994, p20)
Ex Facto methodology is the technique getting a sample population that will represent the entire population ...

Gender roles were defined on the basis of man and woman, masculinity/feminist. This interpolates the idea that the woman was not viewed as an object of male desire but rather a companion of his (an imperfect image yielding the binary form of subject). Now in this present age, are we trying to delineate the concept of man/woman differences, the binary nature of their roles into sexual (affiliated to the sexual organs) beings in discussion and totally block out the trans-sexual forms existing between the two? Exactly! We have basically narrowed ourselves into sexual boundaries and abandoned the cultural and social ...

Demography, labor growth, and employment outcomes are the concept clearly illustrated in the articles. This includes the evolution and changing composition of new entrants in the labor market. The ELMPS06 data highlighted in the article, clearly brings out the various aspects of the labor market exploiting across the time constraint in the view that seeks to assume the current employment status of the individuals being evaluated. This is in the view of the minimum of the six months being viewed.
Despite these facts, the data presented also highlights the problem associated with the data with regards to the ...

The article discusses changes that have taken place over time in the gender construction of women in China.

The article is premised on establishing the relationship between changes in the economic state of China and its impact on women relative to the gender construction in the Chinese society. It also traces the path that Chinese women have taken to assume the current position they hold in the Chinese public sphere. Indeed, the article further advances the argument that gender constructions of women in the western society cannot be used to explain the gender construction of women in China. The article notes that women issues were for a long time disregarded in the development discourse in China. In earlier ...

Problem Statement

The need to live in a healthy environment is the desire of everyone. A healthy environment exists where health professionals engage in the analysis of various factors that contribute to health problems, and adopting remedies to solve them in their various contexts. This needs appreciation of the cultural diversity among the human population, and recognition of its impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various health issues such as mental illnesses (Covan, 2010). The ethnic background of individuals reinforces their culture and assigns them different gender roles. These are crucial in analyzing health problems in order to advise on the ...

Article Review: Equity Study In Canada: Race, class and gender paradigms in Canada
Complex societies like Canada had a variety of challenges in terms of race, gender, and class imbalance. Razack, 1990 explains the various paradigms that determine each factor in the course of action. This review draws from a variety of major theoretical orientations that define the art of true activism. Race being vital in this outlook determines a complete set of nuances rather than other values like societies, gender, and class. These elements provide major inequities of all times. There is a critical interlocking between the major activities and the ...

Becoming Members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender is an article written by Aaron Devor. The author was born a female but chose to adopt the name Aaron and live as a man and discuss the challenges he faced in this process.
In this article Devor talks about gender identity and the differences between men and women. He believes that gender identity is not all about physical attributes. Gender identity is a lifelong process, and at some point, people and especially children should be able to define or state their ...

The articles analyzed represent various aspects of gender discrimination in a society, contemporary state of things, and means of fighting. The articles represented the opposite views on gender disparities in the society. Some of them introduced opinions that were not represented in the previous research.
Acker (1990) argues that the structure of contemporary organization is gendered despite of assumption of many feminists that organizations are gender neutral. The main concern of the article is that a supposedly disembodied worker is actually a man having man’s body and sexuality. The author analyzed the organizational process of gender segregation in details concluding ...

ABSTRACT

Gender is not genetically or biologically inherited and there is therefore no ‘natural’ division in gender relation between men who will always be dominant while women are confined to the domestic sphere. Gender relations have been socially and politically constructed over time, and among present-day sociologists are generally considered a social institution. As an institution, it is also related to other institutions such as the family, the economy and the state, as well as to race, region and social class. It is not a fixed and unchanging institution, however, just as masculinity and femininity are not monolithic, but one that has ...

I review such article as “Gender Flux: Transatlantic Influence on Fashioning the Cross-dresser in American Silent Cinema” by author Ricardo E. Zulueta. It has been published in the journal “The Journal of Dress, Body and Culture” in 2015.
It should be noted, that until now, there is no single view of the nature of gender. On the one hand, gender is associated with the models, which are developed for the scientific description of the problems associated with gender issues. On the other hand, gender may be considered as a social phenomenon, which is created by people in ...

Gender dysphoria is not a widely spread Gender Identity Disorder, but still this condition deserves a deep analysis. The site Psychology Today offers scientific data about gender dysphoria that is based on the information gained from such reliable sources as National Institutes of Health - National Library of Medicine and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
Gender dysphoria is a type of Gender Identity Disorder that is defined by a persistent sense of being a person of opposite gender and a strong discomfort with the person’s sex that can result in impairment and distress (Gender Dysphoria, 2015). ...

Gender is a term that can be interpreted in various ways. Initially, gender was known to be a synonym for women. The main reason behind this reasoning was the fact that the term gender and all gender studies carried out were mainly done to study women. They all had a feminine touch. Gender studies mainly began as a result of traditional invisibility associated with women. Their role in the society was limited. They were not involved in politics or any kind of leadership. As a result, women wanted to overcome this traditional invisibility, and this led to the beginning ...

Both the articles demonstrate the essence of gender equality and human or national security. Reading the two articles I noticed several relevant information regarding (1) gender branding, population racism, human security, and (2) the gender equality and neoliberal governmentality. In the advertorial genre, the description presented in the article about the Kenneth Cole’s photos and text, it made the theme of security as a way of fashion. I commend the way Cole expressed the gendered codes of fashion through photos and texts. It links the idea from national security to human security. In a visual way, it shows ...

The article identifies various patterns of gender equality at the workplace and explains how these patterns are correlated with psychological distress. The authors describe how gender segregation plays a crucial role in exposing men and women to diverse work environments irrespective of the sector of occupation, thereby impacting their health status to a great extent (Elwer et al. 2013). The article considers gender equality as a multidimensional concept, which includes the division of labor, symbolic representation of men and women, emotions and decision making capabilities. Gender inequality occurs in various forms, such as discrimination with regards to opportunities, allocation ...

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

Description and social roles among boys and girls

China’s national views on gender roles between girls and boys have been challenged over the years, and the video describes the problem faced in the country. Girls and boys have been treated differently, and there is a strong need for equality advocacy to be able to attain gender balance. In the country, women assumed a subordinate role than the male gender that is often considered superior to the female gender. However, today women have transitioned from the passive wives role to the passive workers role though this is yet to be attained in many regions of the country. ...

Poverty and Gender

The article “Gender is just one of many inequalities that generate poverty and exclusion” by Claire Melamed represents the author’s vision of the global gender inequality problems and its impact on poverty occurrence around the world. When discussing the evidence of dividing and uniting people around the world, the author emphasizes the inequality issues consideration within the millennium development goals (MDG) maintaining. The global political, economy and social leaders’ plans aimed at finding solutions regarding poverty, shortage and social inequality overcoming. However, despite the post-2015 debates, gender inequality and its direct impact on poverty are apart from the ...

The main research questions posed by the authors in the research paper are whether there is age difference in susceptibility to stereotypes, how positive and negative stereotyping affects academic performance in children and whether children become susceptible to stereotypes at some certain age.
In his paper, the authors describe a work by Aronson, Quinn, and Spencer (1998) claiming that if a person experiences negative stereotyping based on a social group, where he or she belongs, such person will show much worse performance results than the control group. Another mentioned work conducted by Shih and his colleagues in 1999 ...

Identity is constructed in and through others. It is closely related to gender which is the social ideological construction of the meaning of the biological sex attributes of an individual. At birth and subsequently however, a baby is subjected to differential treatment by the society in which it is born, depending on the sex. For, to each sex, society gives as a cause, a different meaning and reacts accordingly. As a result, gender imbalances between males and females are nurtured, invariably and mostly to the disadvantage of the females, resulting in diverse gender inequalities throughout the life experiences of an individual. As such, ...

It is stated that feminine leaders are more disposed to combine transactional and transformational leadership than their male colleagues. However, females tend to have less leadership effectiveness. The above statements correspond with the discussion, contained in the body of the article. However, the differences can be also noted. On the one hand, it is further underlined that effective leadership is most commonly associated with masculine traits (e.g., task orientation and assertiveness (Wolfram&Gratton, 2014, p.340). Furthermore, according to the general comment, leadership and associated behaviours are inherent for mean, and men are expected to express assertiveness and readiness to act ( ...

The premise of this article and the associated research study is that there is a gender gap in areas of reading and math that can, in part, be attributed to gender stereotypes. It understood that there is a significant gap between male and female performance on math assessments. What is not as significantly studied is the performance gap that exists in the area of reading. This is reported as being a surprising fact as the performance gap present in reading is far greater than the gap present in math.
According to information from the Organization for Economic ...

Article Summaries

According to Scarr and Richard, the influence of intelligence is due to genetics and environmental variables that are difficult to segregate. Psychologists often argue about the nature and the nurture of genetic variation fixes in the human behavior (Scarr and Richard 262). Some offer that genetic differences are negating to change in behavior. This belief has limitation since it fails to distinguish the environmental and the genetic sources of individual differences in behavior. In this case, one is not in a position to assess the impact of heredity in behavioral domains since all people have a gene complement expressed over development.

Self disclosure is a vital approach for remaining in touch with others. Through sharing information the intimacy in a relationship becomes more intense. The interpersonal relationship with my partner is also enhanced. I can certainly relate to the fact that quality communication is illustrated differently in different contexts.

Philosophers do not contemplate about acting using a theatrical perspective. According to Judith Butler’s article “Performing Arts and Gender Constitution”, the scholars utilize a discourse that surrounds the “arts” that adopts associative semantic definition with the approaches of acting and performance. The arts are dictated by the phenomenology tradition that portrays the social agents of reality such as symbols, gestures, and language. Under the phenomenological tradition, gender also emerges as a factor that characterizes the arts. The identity constitutes of a stylized consistence in the arts. The sex is actualized through body stylization; therefore, it should be understood ...

What is the name of the article you read and who is the author?
The name of the article is “Is Diet Soda Girly?” and the author is Libby Copeland.

In this article the author describes the gender division in marketing. Many marketing companies produce gender-specific products. Many of these products attract consumers’ attention because of colors (e.g. pink for women and blue for men) and trigger words (e.g. “Be a man. Use *** shampoo” and so on). So, women do not buy things ‘for men’, and men also do not ...

Introduction

In the article, the writer makes the case that women have better instincts for the ecological sustenance of the earth. Her case is based on the fact that women are more fundamentally materially grouped in the ecology of the planet than men. She regards these instincts to human existence on the planet. She says that human-caused environmental problems of the planet are extensively due to an exploitive, paternalistic, male dominated culture (Warren & Erkal, 1997). Mary approaches the argument from a Marxist, materialistic view combining it with ecofeminism and non-anthropocentricity. She argues that, there is no necessary conflict between a Marxist approach ...

1. The Sapir-Whorf theory of language essentially argues that language is culturally-conditioned, and so the way you speak depends on your environment and your experiences and the traditions of your culture. Anthropologists and linguists are particularly interested in the languages of remote and self-contained tribes people because their lack of contact with the developing world allows the study of language at an earlier evolutionary stage of development. However, there are signs that even in European languages culture and background may play a part in the way that some languages perceive the world around them. Motluck (36) examines the gender of ...

The primary hypothesis that the article presents is that there is often suppressed and subtle animosity and negative feelings amongst women working together in organisations. The researches mentioned in the article reveal that this inherent negativity between women in the corporate world has significantly influenced and shaped the experiences and expectations of women leaders who have progressed to the top tier of the management level . Unlike most research studies conducted on women’s increasing involvement in the workforce, this article has restricted its exploration on the interpersonal relations of women employees reporting to a female boss, as well as ...

Human intelligence, which is widely viewed nowadays in the variety of contexts and social situations, refers to the intellectual capabilities of individuals and takes into account a multiple attributes and influential factors. The information on the intelligence is usually gathered with the help of special tests developed with the help of interpersonal relations and contact.

Intention of the Study

The intention of the researchers in this study was to investigate how the psychosocial characteristics of work correlated with presenteeism (Janssens et al. 331).

Researchers can either use the descriptive or inferential approach when performing studied. The researchers employed the inferential approach. In addition to describing the data collected, the researchers also applied various statistical tests in order to measure the association between variables. For instance, the researchers use multiple logistic regressions to establish the correlation between presenteeism and psychosocial factors (Janssens et al. 334). Additionally, the researchers also t-tests and chi-square tests to determine the differences in gender ...

The problem of sexual violence has several reasons rooted in human psychology and norms of society. They refer to the themes of hypermasculinity, sexual attraction through behavior, and stereotypes that society has about the female behavior towards sex. One should note that expected female behavior towards sex differs, and not all women like gentle sex; some of them prefer aggressive porn videos and rough sex and like to feel physical dominance of their partner. It may cause misunderstandings; for instance, a man who got accustomed to rough sex and specific kind of women meets a woman who prefers gentle ...

While it appears to be an opinion article about media productions that generated specific trends about confused gender identity, sexuality or race, Wesley Morris’ New York Times article “The Year We Obsessed over Identity” raises complex social concerns and voices personal preconceptions. Morris criticizes the 21st century gender shift that saw the transformation of women in breadwinners, as portrayed in “The Intern” comedy, while also harshly rebuking the transgender phenomenon popularized across media, and the racial shedding that allows whites to turn into blacks.
The tone of the article is very condemnatory, as the author is blaming the social ...

From the start, the authors observe that people do not understand the rape culture. The article begins the article by presenting information that defines what rape culture is. It presents rape culture as the beliefs and values that change surroundings into areas that are conducive for rapes to occur.

These skewered rights for women’s rights applies to almost areas from work and employment, access to resources to health and for their families and most of all, the opportunity to improve their lives. Gender centered policies are premised on the societies where these are located; if the country has a powerful female political component traditionally impose quotas on the participation of women in the political arena. In jurisdictions outside of the West, women can be ...

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality. This theory states that the status of being female is not the only defining characteristic in oppression. As opposed to there being a unified experience of “female oppression” which defines all oppression experienced by women, oppression is defined by the interaction of gender with factors such as class, sexuality and culture (Carbado, 2013).

Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...
