Motherhood Research Papers Samples For Students

Betty Rollin, in his article has condemned motherhood terming it as less important especially in the modern society. He concludes her article claiming that if God was to speak to people in an audible voice, he would say ‘multiply and be fruitful’ (Rollin 377). This is contrary to the biblical scripture that encourages people to increase in numbers through giving birth. Rollin has looked at motherhood in a negative perspective that is not fitting especially to a woman. She has neglected many other positive attributes of motherhood and mainly concentrated on the negatives. The fact is that, despite the challenges that ...

Post-Partum Depression

For every women blessed with children, nothing is more fulfilling than giving birth to the child and filling them with love and hope. Emotions are high at best, especially with pregnant women as they can easily become depressed or frustrated, depending on their mood swings. While some mothers tend to become happy and elated upon the birth of their children, a few tend to become distressed and moody due to various factors and influences. Although it could be understood that these worries have some ground, especially for new mothers and even fathers, some parents may find themselves overcoming this depression ...

The way social norms change and how well people adjust to these changes has always been fascinating. Growing up as a child whose mother was working, I have always come faced with viewpoints that I felt lonely and abandoned, because, they said, I lacked maternal affection. I never understood why affection was measured by the hours a mother spends with her child, because I was raised with much love and nurture, even though I did not see my mother as much as other children that had their mothers at home. I felt resistant to the concept that staying at home mothers ...

Commercial adverts have formed a crucial component of the industry and trade sector. With the new cutthroat competitions for space in the market, the media had been awash with all forms of adverts that promote various products. The aim of commercial adverts is to promote a product in such a way that it appeals to the target audience and that they can connect their lives with the product (Berger, 7). The advert seeks to engage the audience with a feeling that the product is destined to make their lives a better, healthier, popular, enlightened, and more attractive with the acquisition of this product than ...

Surrogacy has been a topic for debate from the time it was medically possible up to now in the modern times. Many institutions and groups had voiced out their opinions and the arguments went on and on. However, for us to clearly understand the case at hand, we must first see the topic of surrogacy from both sides and from the eyes of three different people.
In this paper, we examined three critics of surrogacy. First, we look at the article by Katherine B. Lieber (1992) entitled ‘Selling the Womb: Can ...

Derailing Mommy Track Using the

Kelso-Adler Theory of Economic Justice
Abstract
The Glass Ceiling was an analogy used to describe invisible barriers that exist in the career progression paths of women and minorities. This was further reinterpreted as a Mommy Track – an image which focused particularly on maternity and the nature of women’s societal and cultural roles. The paper uses the Kelso-Adler theory of economic justice to arrive at a series of guidelines which can be used to break the mommy track attitude and thus lead to a more harmonious workplace situation. In doing so, the arms of economic justice- participative and distributive are ...

Introduction

The World Economic Forum stated that the gender pay gap may take 118 years to close. The gender pay gap is the average disparity in men and women’s total hourly wages earned, which can be attributed to different factors such as level of education, expertise, type of industry and length of work among others (Grimley, n.p). Statistics showed that despite the increased participation of women in the labor force, their salary remains to be significantly lower than that of men, even in highly industrialized countries. The existence of a wide gap between men and women’s average earnings ...

Pay discrimination occurs when people with the same qualification and experience have different pay levels. The most relevant pay discrimination we see today is what we call the gender pay gap or the pay discrimination between men and women. There is a misapprehension that the gender pay gap is closing fast. The 2003-2013 pay gap rate only proves that this issue would not end in another 124 years. In 2012, female workers made only 77 cents for every dollar their male counterpart earned. This is a startling reality in the modern world and women continue to be discriminated solely on the ...

Literature

In order to understand the role of women in Victoria’s England, it would be of interest to study the role of women during the Roman Empire. Why this is important, is because, there is a lot of similarities in the way England was ruled in comparison to Rome. The Roman society was undoubtedly dominated by men, and this is evident by the names of great leaders such as Julius Caesar, and Augustus. The Roman Catholic Church too had a huge role to play in the social and cultural life of the people of Rome. Despite evidences drawn from Roman history, ...

The Debate Concerning Salaries for Stay-at-Home Mothers

Abstract
Motherhood is, according to investigative reporting, statistical analysis, and common knowledge by mothers, a more than full-time job. If all of the jobs mothers must do were assigned hourly wages, the overall value of a stay-at-home mothers’ work would equal more than the average income of a typical American family. Some experts and celebrities believe that women should get a salary if they are stay-at-home mothers. Other people believe that stay-at-home mothers should not get a salary. Each side has more than one reason to support their beliefs. The current American political, cultural, and financial situation makes giving stay-at-home mothers a salary unfeasible. ...

The literary world was not ready for Mary Shelley and her novel, Frankenstein. Mary Shelley, the product of a feminist mother, speaks her mind freely about the stereotypic issues that are imbedded in her culture and distinguish between men and women.
When the novel, Frankenstein, was published, society was aghast, how could such a young girl write something so gothic? During the early ninetieth century an independent woman was not encouraged; her place was behind her husband. She was suppose to be a paragon of virtue and the patriarch of the family; someone on whom husbands look down, and the children ...

Incarceration of Women

The number of incarcerated women has increased at a dramatic rate in many US correctional institutions (Talvi, 2007). The increased rise in the number of women in prisons can be attributed to increased cases of minor property crime and change in sentencing policies such as mandatory prison sentences. The Bureau of Prisons is an arm of the Department of Justice in the United States. The bureau consists of 6 regional centers, nine divisions and the National Institute of Correction (Talvi, 2007). The jurisdiction of the Institute of Correction covers community correctional facilities, jails, prisons and the academy for training prison ...

Abortion

Abortion can be defined as the termination of a pregnancy by removal of the embryo or fetus from the uterus before it is due (Bacon, 2004, p. 2). Abortion can be induced or spontaneous. A spontaneous abortion is usually known as a miscarriage. Induced abortion is an easy procedure that can easily pass for the easiest procedures in the medical field. However, the procedure has cost so many lives, and severe consequences such as damage to the uterus, leading to barrenness. This happens if the procedure is carried out by an unskilled person.

Many people opt for an induced abortion due ...

Often, an author will write about what they know best. Which, invariably, is their own experience of life, love and everything in between. Authors do this for a number of reasons: because they know it so well that they can make an excellent story of it; because they usually have a message that they wish to convey to the world as a result of that experience. Tell Me a Riddle is a collection of short stories, written by Tillie Olsen, first published in 1961. It is a prime example of an author writing for the purpose of conveying a message: Olsen was a well-established feminist writer; her ...
