Two major power centers which dominated Greece by5th century BC were the “military oligarchy of Sparta” on the one hand and the “Democratic Athens” on the other hand. Initially, Sparta had unilaterally enjoyed powerful land dominance in Greece controlling many territories in the neighborhood that were structurally linked to the land as slaves. On the other hand, Athens was the official head of the naval alliance and derived her power from her command of the sea. Athens thus created an empire which was only but “in the name”.2 Other than Athens and Sparta, Gortyn was one other major ...

Abstract

In advertising throughout the past few centuries, women have placed in one of several limiting roles. One is the extremely thin fashion model, a sex symbol for the typical man whose main role is to be pretty and attract men. The other is the domestic partner, the woman who takes care of the house to the exclusion of all personal desires and responsibilities. There is also the incompetent, the dullard; the weak-willed woman who simply cannot handle the limited and finite duties that are burdened upon her. In this paper, the effects of negative advertising on women will be explored, ...

Introduction

The use of police discretion is a major challenge to the police today. Police discretion is the availability of a choice of options one can take in a situation. Discretion involves making a judgment and a decision, Dempsey J. (2009). The criminal justice system involves various amounts of discretion. A police can sentence a defendant on bail or order the defendant incarcerated until trial. In police, there are huge cases of discretion because the crimes committed by the people are not always the same. The police have to perform broad discretion behind a façade of performing in ministerial fashion. The police use discretion to arrest, ...

Female protagonists are not often presented with a great deal of angst or flaws, especially in 19th century literature. However, the following short stories are a notable exception. The protagonist of “The Yellow Wallpaper” gradually grows psychotic from isolation and confinement to a small wallpapered room; Calixta in “The Storm” falls into a passionate one-night affair with a former lover on the evening of a thunderstorm; and the titular “Eveline” is solemn and contemplative, not really knowing what direction to take in her life. In this paper, we will examine the similarities and differences between these three women, and how the circumstances in their lives ...

In recent decades feminist critics have attempted to appropriate A Doll’s House as a feminist text, but they have been met with a barrage of criticism from some critics who prefer to stress other aspects of the play. In one sense to call it a feminist play is, of course, an anachronism, since the feminist movement did not begin until the late 1960s and early 70s, but, nonetheless, Nora’s abandonment of Torvald and her children at the end of the play can still be seen as a rebellion against the prevailing patriarchal values of European society.

In this research paper on ...

Nawal El Saadawi in this article shares both her personal experiences and professional advice as a physician on the issue of female circumcision. The article begins by discussing why female circumcision is considered important in Egypt- because it serves in ensuring girls remain virgins until they are married. Saadawi however points out that this procedure sometimes ends up resulting in complications. Saadawi highlights some of examples of responses from women she had come into contact with who had undergone circumcision. For example in one of the dialogues, a woman who had been circumcised recounts how she was unable to pass urine ...

Whether women in the military should be allowed to participate in direct ground combat and in infantry, are questions that have long been debated by men and women alike. Direct combat is engaging or attacking the enemy with deliberate, offensive action under fire. Current Defense Department regulations require that direct combat units be male. Controversies surrounding women’s active duty in these positions stem from long-held views on traditional gender roles. In general, integration of women into military has been slow and uneven; for the servicewomen, they were still barred from several positions. Few years back, they were not ...

In corporate chain stores and huge corporations, workers get frustrated as a result of several unjust treatments. A good percentage of the employees are forced to be part-time workers since these companies want to pay for as little benefits as possible. Such companies are also temporarily understaffed making many of their employees to work overtime which, in most cases, is not paid. Failure of the employees to complete their tasks directly results into loss of that particular job. This compels the workers to go extra miles even if it means working overtime, with very poor benefits. In these big stores, ...

What principles with respect to women battering and self-defense have been established in Lavallee's case?

Most of the case law involving female offenders depends on the Supreme Court of Canada's verdict in Lavallee, which accepted proof that an offender had encountered violence elicited by the victim, Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS)1, as applicable to the problem of self-defense. In the Lavallee case2, proof was disclosed demonstrating that the offender had been exposed to years of abuse owing to the victim, and she was acquitted of murder because she had acted in self-defense. Battered women constitute one of the most marginalized groupings in the social order. Their relationship incidents occasionally put these individuals into ...

The rationale, under which programs for promoting health are build, is based on three basic observations; the varying patterns in the predictors of the behaviors of health, different groups show; the differences in the rates of disease prevalence as indicated by various ethnic and racial groups; and the patterns exhibited by the same groups in the prevalence of risk factors imposed by their behaviors.

Campaigns are going on for women’s rights by the feminist activists. The activists have opposed sexual harassment, sexual assault and domestic violence (McDonald, P. 2008). Joseph suggests ...

Feminism refers to the fight by women to be accorded equal rights in politics, economics, relationships and family responsibilities, social and all the issues related to women. In the United States, there have been long standing fights by women to have their issues addressed effectively in order to feel equally positioned as their male colleagues. The fight to liberation can be categorized into three main branches under the wave theory. There was the first wave, the second wave and the third wave.

All the above mentioned waves had their significant contribution to the liberation of women from oppressive governance, ...

In the modern world, women have become a very important part of the social, economic and political life in addition to the strong family positions that a woman holds in the society. This has been attributed to the efforts put towards the recognition of the women, their important activities and the great role they play in all aspects of the society. This began in the 1970s in the west, and soon became worldwide phenomena. The modern woman can therefore be recognized within her own society and beyond (Keber, 1998).

Despite these achievements, I myself as a woman have undergone through various challenges and ...

It is a play that continues, through new productions, to engage audiences all over the world and the social dynamic between theater productions and social values is one that is full of interest and not without controversy. The very first production aroused controversy: Jaeger (p. 259) claims that “The close of A Doll’s House gave rise to dissentient criticism”. But even one of the first reviews ...

Living in a patriarchal world, the name "Venus" was first used in a tone of mocking irony but later became the collective term used to identify all obese Palaeolithic statuettes of women. The use of the name "Venus" leads to a comparison between her and other female statues and denies the figurine a chance to be analyzed by her own terms and free of the presumptions provoked by the name. There is no doubt that the statue is biological female. In the art world, the "Venus of Willendorf" is anything but unconventional. Unlike the Classical and Renaissance Venus's, which display a civilized and ...

Being Male Has Privileges

Since the beginnings of human civilization, tens of thousands of years ago, most human societies have been patriarchal in nature: that is to say, male mebers of society have held most of the power and the privileges, and women have been treated like second-class citizens with fewer rights and much less power. Historically it could be argued that there is a logical reason for this: only women can become pregnant and in the past this put even more pressure on women, because the risks of death in childbirth were enormously high and, because of the lack of effective contraceptive methods ( ...

Using a context familiar to you, such as Hong Kong, please describe the concept of empowerment by listing the challenges and feasible solutions to achieve gender educational equality in education enrolment, completion, and educational outcomes (contribution to women's socioeconomic status).

A US survey shows that 80% of female workers in Hong Kong believe that they are discriminated against because of their gender and it still generally accepted that sons are prioritised over daughters in terms of finance and inheritance.

Theories of Gendered Learning

Gendered learning in its basic form implies the learning methods regulated with a person’s gender. Being male or female determines the learning method, choice of subjects and career of an individual. Theories such as Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Development Theory, and Gender Schema Theory, apart from explaining how children acquire gender identities, explain how gendered learning takes place. The overarching idea here is the fact that male and female children and even adults, learn differently. It is apparent that boys and girls score differently in any exams. Therefore, the theorists, in their theories, try to explain this apparent difference ...

Male love and desire for sex was a common erotic and affectional ground for males, a territory that was shared equally by men who did not have a desire for sex with female, and the rest of the male, who were having a desire for males, was a chance for them to get attracted. The traditions suggested that the excluded heterosexuality is just but a convection of latest vintage, based on the refusal of one’s own potential strength of homosexuality. There was some difference between present and past construction of men love and desire for homosexuality as it was highlighted by the Zeus and ...

Work ethics has had many definitions over time; however, we can conclusively say that it is a set of standards that is set and usually based on the level hard work and meticulousness that is expected. In other cases, for example when work is conducted voluntarily, as in the case of churches or community service, we view it as having a moral advantage or gain and posses the ability to enhance or produce good character. There are many attributes associated with good work ethics and include; having and keeping good social standings, being dependable and having a self-drive or not waiting to ...

Relativism is the idealistic situation that all positions of analysis are equally legitimate and that all truth is relative to an entity. Moral relativism sums to stating that all moralities are similarly good and right. In our civilization today, relativism is increasingly becoming more appreciated. With the surmounting denunciation of God especially through rejection of Christianity, the once known absolute truth is being deserted. Today, the social order is trying to shun the thought that there is actually a right and wrong deed. As bad it may look, from a normal perspective of generation to generation, there is soundness to some ...

Introduction

Malaria is a key public health predicament and cause of much distress and untimely death in the poorer areas of tropical Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The most pathogenic species of the plasmodium species is plasmodium falciparum which is responsible for almost 90% of malarial infections in the world. The Coccidia are intracellular parasites that reproduce asexually by a ...

Abstract:

Warfare has for centuries been the sole province of men, providing a rite of passage for male-dominated societies the world over. The notion that women can function as soldiers – and that fighting units can function with women – is a new one, but there is ample evidence to show that women belong in combat and that the team concept that is so important to a fighting unit is not threatened by gender integration.

The Right to Fight: Achieving Gender Equality on the Battlefield

Warfare has always been, with only very limited exceptions, the work of men. No modern society relies, and virtually no premodern society relied, on women as combat soldiers. – Kingsley Browne.
