The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013).

Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people viewing ...

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

In William Beckford's 1786 novel Vathek, the titular character, an Arabic caliph with endless sexual passion and thirst for knowledge, delves slowly but inexorably toward damnation with the help of his astrologist mother, Carathis, and a Jinn known as Giaour. This book, along with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, demonstrate early examples of Gothic fiction. In particular, however, Vathek can be cited as an example of queer Gothic fiction; as Gothic literature deals greatly with the unknown, Vathek's journeys and the characters he meets along the way can be interpreted as homosexual (or at least ...

Conflicts are inevitable in all aspects of life in the modern world. Perhaps, this has been the case since the wake of humankind because human reasoning and prejudices are not heterogeneous. Behera (2006) asserts that there are many types of fines. The conflicts can be classified using many criteria. For instance, conflicts can be classified on the basis of whether or not they are helpful to the parties involved or to the institutions to which such parties are affiliated. In this case, the conflicts can be classified as either constructive or negative conflicts. Constructive conflicts are those associated with ...

Introduction

The contemporary system of medical service has its respective roots in the health care system of the 19th century, where the dominating industrialization has resulted in the occurrence and further development of scientific medicine (Connerley and Wu, 2016).

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic events and is characterized by such symptoms as survivor guilt, reliving the trauma in dreams, numbness, and absence of involvement with reality, or recurrent thoughts and images. Research shows that reliable and modest gender differences exist in the growth of PTSD (Vishnevsky 110). Researchers also found that the risk of PTSD could vary in women because of type of trauma and prior history of trauma.

The issue is whether the student based teacher evaluation is gender biased. Gender bias is a common social vice that is described as the subjective perception that some people are better positioned to perform some task based on their masculinity of their femininity. For instance, most societies hold that boys or men are better at academics, rationality and in most cases possess socially unruly behavior while their female counterparts are socially interactive, more disciplined and better in arts and languages (Templeton, 2016). With such gender-based bias ingrained in the society, the fundamental question is whether students are affected by ...

Appiah argues that people today are responsible to people within and outside of their own culture. According to the author, ‘Cosmopolitanism’ requires people to be positive about the way other ...

Mel and female gender roles are often included in Kate Chopin's short stories, and at times the female characters in her stories tend to challenge these roles. In a majority of her stories, such as “Desiree's Baby”, “The Story of an Hour”, “At the Cadian Ball”, “The Storm, and “The Awakening”, the female character are shown to undergo a transformation from women who are dependent on their husbands, and weak to more independent and stronger women. The female characters are all examples of how women change throughout these stories while the men are the dominant hurdle that these women want to ...

A study found, that gender disparity is reversed when it comes to binge eating disorder (0.6% women vs. 1.9% men)(Striegel‐Moore et al., 2009).

Results reveal that compared to women, men were more likely to report overeating. On the other hand, women were more likely to express a sense of "loss of control" ...

The society creates the various gender roles and as a result, with time, these roles are viewed as the appropriate behavior of a person. Learning and life experiences help develop gender roles. The idea of femininity and masculinity not only prevails in the present times but also in the Victorian era. Although gender construction can be defined by biological factors, a larger convection believes that gender is socially constructed. Therefore, gender is a social construct as the society is responsible for determining what characterizes a particular sex and the subjects act by those characteristics.
Feminism refers to the nature ...

Introduction

Sexual assault of women is a pervasive crime that exerts significant influence both on the lives of women, who become victims of gender-based violence, and the communities, where these women live (Klump, 2006, p.67).

Intersectionality is one of the woman’s libbers and the most propagative conception of the critical race theory. Women of color formations are compelled to address Intersectionality and the mutual and complex interactions of race, class, gender and sexuality (Lowe & Lloyd, 1997, p.310). Many feminists debate that a kind consideration of intersectionality is an important element to gain equality in politics and community, and also to improve the autonomous system.

Males may suffer from eating disorders and body image issues. Estimates show that more than 20% of patients with anorexia nervosa – a psychological disorder in which a patient thinks that he or she is too fat despite being emaciated – and bulimia nervosa – a disorder in which a person has alternative feelings of strong craving for food and aversion to food – are men. In men, patients with bulimia nervosa are more than the patients with anorexia nervosa. However, males have less inclination to bulimic compensatory behaviors such as laxative abuse or vomiting as compared to females, and ...

Analysis of Qualitative and Quantitative Research methods used in articles

The human brain is a receptacle of knowledge and reasoning and man has always had an inherent ability to think, analyze argue and conclude. The concept of critical thinking as a form of analysis has its roots during the time of Socrates. He believed that man should not blindly accept view- points placed before them by people in seats of power. Men are fallible and prone to confused thinking and empty rhetoric. It is important to analyze on the basis of knowledge, available data and insight. RH Ennis (2003) described critical thinking as, focussed thinking based on sound reasoning and reflections ...

Method Description

A quasi-experimental research design will be employed. The nature of the treatment variable (gender) cannot be manipulated by the researcher. However, from the nature of the study, we can deduce a naturally occurring control group (adult-sibling pairs with different gender) and a treatment group (adult-sibling pairs with the same gender). Therefore, a non-equivalent posttest cross-sectional design will be used.
A survey method will be implemented by the use of a questionnaire. Data will be collected using a questionnaire because it is time-saving as the data collection will go on concurrently. It is also cheaper than conducting interviews both in ...

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, Hana’s Suitcase by K. Levine, Why Me? By L. Allen and The Paper Bag Princess by R.

The short story, “A Rock Trying to be a Stone”, written by Sergio Troncoso in 1999, and the poem, “What’s it Like being a Black Girl”, written Patricia Smith in 1991, each shows their cultural environment with their respective tensions and conflicts.

My impression of the novel is a book capable of inducing the feeling of eroticism, sexual energy, danger, and suspense all at the same time. In my view, the genre of the novel can best be described as an erotic thriller. The novel present a strange intermixing of humans and other supernatural beings. Indeed, the writer follows the modern tradition of presenting vampires as a romantic, erotic and elegant species rather than some demonic creature. The character of Sookie Stackhouse is indeed a very intricate one the more I read about her and the more I become familiar with her personality the more ...

There are multiple faces and variances of feminism nowadays, differentiating both geographical as well as cultural (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). The western feminism comprises the values of the developed and partly developing countries, whereas the African and Asian feminism comprises the values of these societies, where besides gender, race is another element that defines women and the feminism discourse (Dunand Zimmerman, 2013). But in practice things are much more complex than this simply structured formulation of localized feminism. Looking at the Islamic Asian countries, for instance, there can be observed great differences between women’s condition in Turkey or Egypt, ...

Domestic violence against women for the past decades has been rated as the one of the major social, justice and relationship problem. The most crucial factor in this case is the realization of feminism.

Introduction

Thoreau’s civil disobedience emerges from Thoreau’s refusal to pay church tax claiming that the church has no right to impose tax. His reasoning is that if all institutions were to present their tax bills to the government, then he would be bound to pay his; but, there is no justification for “taxing the schoolmaster to support the priest” (Thoreau 49). This implies that though the policy may be ethical, the underlying structure is disputable. His reasoning is influential; it stirs a logical query of every aspect of one’s own life, indicating a close connection between text and action. ...

Natural Harmony vs Gender

The issues of gender roles, femininity and sexuality became most controversial in the modern world. It may seem that feminist and queer theories are inventions of the information age, but the questions of female sexuality, femininity and gender roles imposed by society can be tracked to the ancient Greece and famous female philosopher Sappho, who was one of the very few to speak of the controversial matter of all times. In the present paper, the work of another famous feminist writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman is discussed.
In her utopian novel “Herland” (1919), Gilman created a symbolic critical analysis of ...

Women have long been neglected or rather obstructed from participating in the major areas of life, where men have dominated (Nochlin, 1988). However, recent studies have shown a rise of women artists, philosophers and even leaders. Compared to the situations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the number of women taking part in substantial activities has increased rapidly. Apparently, changes in way women were treated in the past and the access if women to vital resources have been attributed to the growth in feminist ventures (Nochlin, 1988). Increased feminist experiments and endeavors in all forms of life are the ...

Introduction

One of the largest social problems facing the modern society is illiteracy. By wide definition, illiteracy refers to the inability of an individual to read and write. However, as will be seen later, this definition is relatively outdated. In the current modern society, every single human being has the right to acquire the basic knowledge of writing and reading. Those who do not have this knowledge or have been deprived of this knowledge are usually referred to as the illiterates. Despite the enormous modernization of the current society, the problem of illiteracy stills persists and there are ...
