Sexism Article Reviews Samples For Students

Homophobia is the fear to associate with those who have a strong sexual feeling towards people of the same sex. Sexism is the discrimination directed towards a group based on their sex preference. Places of work, social avenues and academic institutions discriminate people based on their sex. Sexism has become a part of life beginning at a tender teenage age where teenagers call each other ‘sissy’ or ‘tomboy’. Feminists (bisexuals, gay and lesbian) are coming up with ways to overcome homophobia. Suzanne Pharr’s Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism gives a practical solution to recognize and eradicate it.

This article talks about how social construction of sexism has changed over the past half century. In this article, things are not the way they used to be fifty years ago, and the perception of sexism is also changing, because as males dominated the family, today its either women who dominate the family or both. Women are rising into powers, and their salaries are increasing dramatically while that of men remaining constant, meaning that women are learning to be independent. Therefore, women are proving to be who men think they are not, and do all that men can do, ...

Article Summary
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 Review

Article Review
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 ...

Reflection Paper on ‘The Character Factory’

David Brooks’ article ‘The Character Factory’, talks about the conflicting assumptions that parents and governments make about children when it comes to decision making about their life outcomes. Brooks says that nearly every parent want their children to develop character to make it in life while the governments be it republican or democratic focus mainly on the economic aspects of the child development. He says that the democrats address the issue of material deprivation of the poor while the republicans adjust the economic incentives or regulatory barriers. Brooks quotes from Reeves’ article, ‘The New Politics of Character’ to further ...

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 ...

Exploring Post War Consumption

Canadian labor unions and movements have historically been sexist as all hell. This has potentially far-reaching implications both because of how much of the Canadian workforce was female and because what it might say about how Canadian labor leaders and organizations viewed various aspects of labor and how it affected their decisions and values. Feminist labor historians have pretty thoroughly proven that “many pre-Second World War laborists and leftists assumed that productive and political work outside the home was masculine,” and moreover associated “commodity production with muscular masculinity” (Belisle, 2005, p.642). Further, this caused labor leaders and thinkers “to ...

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.

The issue of hate has circulated in the social arena for quite a long time as people seek to establish a solution to this issue. It has existed since time immemorial, and was the cause for the slave trade that led to the demeaning of the African people.

All over the world, there had been crimes that were propagated by hate; the killing of Jews by Hitler and the anti-Semitism movements, the massacre in Rwanda ...
