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 ...

The article “Three Waves of Feminism: From Suffragettes to Grrls” explores the history of feminism. Feminism has evolved over time in waves that have framed the day-to-day scholarship of feminism communication. The article discusses issues of power, gender, and communication. On the other hand, “The Fourth Wave of Feminism: Meet the Rebel Women” by Cochrane Kira presents a different perspective of the history of feminism by suggesting that there is a fourth wave of feminism.

“Arab Spring” in 2011 was meant for overthrowing the corrupt and incapable governments in many of the Middle Eastern countries such as Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, and Egypt (Ibn Abī al-Ḍiyāf and Brown 59). The anarchic rule of the king/president was taken over by democracy in these countries perpetually, as a result of the constitutional reforms. The constitutional changes were meant to implement democracy as the major political system in the Arab world. The question arises as to what interest did the Arab governments had in constitutional reforms and what did the public want? Revising the constitutional text ...

In the United States there were no federal laws banning any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation until recently when President Obama signed an order which forbids organizations who work in partnership with the federal government to partake in any form of discrimination against people on either the basis of their gender identity of their sexual orientation (Obama to sign Executive Order). This topic has been of concern for decades and will now fill a gap which gay rights activists have been attempting to fill for years.

Having been communicated the subject matter to be dealt with in the course of work, I immediately plunged into thorough speculation on the utility of this kind of social research. This speculation eventually brought me to direct inference of the curiosity and meaningfulness thereof. Thus, let me firstly figure it out. Throughout its entire history, society has always had this expressed tendency to get more and more divided into certain groups and subdivisions as to race, sex, color, origin, religion and so on. Thus, nowadays a majority of people are prone to assess themselves and determine their position in ...

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders.

As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

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 ...

Thought style is defined by Fleck in 1979 as the readiness for directed perception, with corresponding mental and objective assimilation of what has been so perceived (p.99). However, in 2008, Marie defined “Thought style” as a way of thinking that constrains the thoughts and perceptions of individuals’, without really being aware of its existence. The thoughts that make an individual consider a problem as explorable and what is recognized as having a legitimate solution will be constrained. (p.153). Based on these studies, my perception is that people’s thoughts are restricted and hence make them analyze the targeted data ...

Question: Does this representation create, reinforce or challenge stereotypes? Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Shonda Rhymes’ “Scandal” Throughout the history of television, women have been presented as passive and submissive, and have been constructed as sexual objects. However, more recently, groundbreaking television series have begun to break the gender stereotype by presenting female characters in strong, authoritative roles which were usually reserved to men. Shonda Rhymes’s “Scandal” fits in this trend, centering upon Olivia Pope, a unique character who challenges the stereotypes by presenting an empowered African American woman. However, Olivia is only one of a series of masculine ...

Despite the fact that most modern societies are moving towards tolerance and inclusiveness, there are still categories of people who experience discrimination in one or several spheres of their lives. Homosexuals is a social group which is discriminated most fiercely. It seems that homosexuality has become a label which, once put on a person, means that this person is inferior to others in all possible respects, as if a mere presence of sexual attraction to people of the same sex somehow influences a person's moral or professional value. Nature gives choices, it is society that limits them. I regret ...

The recent print ad of Swiffer Bissell Steamboost promotes traditional gender stereotypes because it shows that domestic work is a woman's strength, something that she should be proud of. Because men and women are different in numerous ways, it must not come as a surprise that advertisements depict men and women in a different way. Stereotypes are formed through the continuous, prolonged exposure of viewers to the various devices of imagery. The notion, message, or idea of an array of depictions must be taken into consideration when analyzing stereotypes. As explained by Sheehan (77), a sole ad or any ...

How were the life experiences of Liu and Ning impacted by the historical events and changes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Liu from ‘A man awakened from dream’ and Ning from ‘A daughter of Han”’ are both the protagonists of works of autobiography by Harrison and Priutt respectively, in an effort to depict the impact of Chinese history on its people during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Since Chinese history was sharpened by communist tones, it becomes challenging to understand the true meaning of waking up from a dream. It is important to ...

The autobiography of Catalina de Erauso is very attractive for scholars, who investigate such aspects as identity, authorship, sexuality and gender; the most important aspect can be considered masculinity of this character.

The transformation of Erauso’s conduct into masculine manners, sometimes in violent form, was necessary for persuasion and becoming powerful, successful and accepted at the times of colonial Spain.

Level of Conflict

The conflict, in this case, involved two employees, one has just completed one month on the job, David, and a transferee from another department. The standard of conflict involved here is a personal one. The organization puts a special consideration whenever a conflict involves members of different gender.

The fiery personality of Judy could be the reason towards the conflict. However, David also has an outspoken character, which could prove problematic. The parties involved engage in a collaborative style of solving differences (Sourcesofinsight.com, 2011). Although an accommodating style would have worked, ...

Pain is one of the common problems that affect many old people worldwide (Tse, Leung & Ho, 2012). Despite the high number of old people who are affected by it, this condition is normally undertreated. According to the Maslow Hierarchy Model of Needs, the high pain prevalence is likely to affect negatively the fulfillment of the psychological needs (Tse, Leung & Ho, 2012). This challenge comes in the wake of an increase in the life expectancy of senior citizens aged 65 years and above in the past few decades. Since 1999, the life expectancy of these group has improved by 11 ...

The young mind is a malleable and highly vulnerable entity with which trauma can dramatically influence with long-lasting effects. While both boys and girls are prone to posttraumatic stress disorder, evidence shows that females tend to experience greater effects from traumatic events than their male counterparts. When asking the question of whether boys and girls respond similarly to post-traumatic interventions, it is important to note that although females are wounded greater due to their emotional capacity, both males and females experience a measurable minimization of potentially damaging symptoms as a result of treatment. Ultimately, however, females are in a ...

Gender Inequality (Unending Nightmare of Sexual Assault)

According to Roberts, Hite, and Chorev (2015), inequality is present with gender, social status, race, ethnicity, and even skin colors. In this case, inequality focuses on gender discrimination. In this world, this vital social disease has been making millions of women suffer for centuries. The most common ideology resulting to women discrimination is that men are superior over women in every aspect of life. Women in America have struggled for years because of gender inequality resulting to lack and denial of rights. In the early years, women were deprived of so many things like education, right to vote, and ...

Handling diversity may be ticklish and cumbersome, but it rolls out striking benefits in terms of harmony, finances, and cognition. There are multitudes of advantages of an inclusive workforce or the society. Talking about its strengths, the author Zainah Anwar has aptly outlined the cognitive significances.

Conversely, working with people of different religions, race, gender, nationality, and ethnic origins bring smartness, critical thinking, and an innovative aptitude. Not only it opens up our mind, but also ...

Communication Skills in a Cross-Culturally Diverse Workplace

Introduction

Globalization has given rise to an environment that continues to change in terms of complexity as local business expand and begin competing with other businesses for a share of the vast global market. Globalization has essentially compelled corporations, nations and by extension, regions to be overly interdependent (Adair, Hideg & Spence, 2013). This has resulted from greater consumer awareness that has resulted in the development of new standards and demands resulting from the fact that different nations project varying cultural inclinations (D'Netto et al, 2014). Nations and more specifically business are embracing the ...

Over the past, the military and natural sciences have been overly male dominated fields. However, tireless and lengthy legal and professional advancements have borne fruits because women are single top growing subgroup in the military profession.

Therefore, the essay will investigate on capability and role of women on the battlefield frontline considering that technology and other factors have changed the role of officers in wars. ...

Florence Nightingale’s legacy has influenced many peoples view regarding nursing and the nurses’ perception of the millennium goals. I am one of those greatly intrigued in terms of insight and perception. The eight millennium goals developed by the world leaders in the U.N reflect on the noble work of Florence Nightingale. It is amazing how she could have visualized about the solution to many problems that are even haunting us today, back then. She must have been very visionary (Wagstaff, 2004). Her concern about taking the practice of nursing to a whole different level was a great idea. ...

Abstract

Nothing offends a society and community’s sense of morals and safety than instances where the most vulnerable of the community are subjected to brutal and crimes that define reason. Various agencies played significant parts in the perception of sexual felons as brutal, unfeeling and callous “brutes” out for the satisfaction of their own perverted carnal pleasures. However, research shows that what the media and other agencies reported tend to skew a proper study and comprehension of the proper understanding of what actually comprises sexual deviance. In addition, the public’s understanding of sexual felony is mainly founded ...

Hunters and Gatherers in the Classroom

Abstract At the young age, schoolchildren are very segregated by sex and gender stereotypes still define the norms of their looking and behavior. This requires interference from the community and educators. The male role of hunters and female of gatherers seems to be subjected by the course of history, but if to think more deeply, parents raise these associations in their children by themselves. Popularity in school does not necessarily mean an educational success or exceptional leadership skills. It is very difficult for both ‘hunters’ and ‘gatherers’ to maintain their status or to win the place among the popular ...

Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

Article review

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. Summarize the thesis or primary claim of the article. 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 ...

Observed Affects of Age, Gender, and Culture

Introduction

The objective of this observational research is to test two hypotheses. First, that in contemporary society traditional male courtesies toward unknown females, such as allowing females to disembark first from an elevator, are rarely practiced by younger men, for example those under 40 years old. This is probably not because younger men are ill-mannered, but because females are perceived as more independent today than they were in the past and so do not require special treatment. Since this male deference is no longer offered consistently, a female elevator passenger is now in ...

Introduction

The article entitled The Gender Gap in Wages, circa 2000 by June O’Neil discusses the existence of gender pay gap between men and women, despite the considerable social and economic growth that occurred during this century. Accordingly, the participation of women in the labor force has dramatically increased in the turn of the century, yet the labor force activity does not seem to narrow the gender wage gap. O’Neil argued that the wage gap between men and women is spelled out by non-discriminatory elements which “are unlikely to change radically in the near future unless the roles ...

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 ...

Response Essay

The essay “Hunters and Gatherers in the Classroom” is written in 1997 by Lawrence Cohen, clinical psychologist in Brookline, Massachusetts and still has a great psychological and educational significance. Frankly speaking, I have learnt a lot of author`s ideas and approaches, which are really substantial and relevant. I fully agree that boys and girls have a lot of differences in character, behavior, outlook, manners and even way of playing games. This fact leads to the question of gender inequality, which we can observe at school. People got used to the standard sex division of the human “hunter-gatherer” past. ...

Changes in dynamics, increased immigration, globalization of the job market , government policies and increased racial, minority, gender, ethnic and regional tolerance have all contributed in making diversity an important factor in the workplace today.

Introduction

Fostering diversity and multicultural inclusion in STEM majors is one of the most problematic areas on the today’s business and academic agendas (Barzilai, 2005). Duerstock and Shingledecker (2014) argue that the practice shows that attracting culturally diverse interns to the professional and educational fields is an effective approach to cultivating equitable working environments. Although a number of informative studies have been conducted to analyze theoretical perspectives of the problem, brining cultural diversity to the workplaces is still practically and conceptually impoverished, especially in the public segment of economy (Ross, 1985). The scholars and the practitioners unanimously agree on ...

Culture is an essential aspect in human interaction. In fact, lack thereof implies that the entire human population would share common beliefs and ideologies thereby affecting development.

As we all know, humor is an important part of social interaction in our everyday lives.
