Essays on Men

There are several studies that have been conducted to analyse women’s and men’s speech across various cultural identities. The main goal of the studies has been to find out whether there is a difference in the way men and women speak. Speech behaviour of both genders can be analysed in respect to language usage, phonology, verbal choice and the general interactions between men and women in discourse.

Conventionally, most of the sociolinguists look at the issue of gender in discourse in connection with the level of education, ethnic background, socio-economic status and the age of the individuals involved. Most of the researches that have been conducted have shown that the difference in language mainly result from the perception that men dominate women and that the speech behaviour of the women is as a result of a deviation from the male speech norms (Fasold, 2000). According to some scholars, the male-female communication is cross-cultural and in most cases people from different genders often depicts different speech norms and usually have different expectations for their respective interlocutors. ...

Introduction

Thomas J. Harbin, a psychologist, wrote a book about anger – Beyond Anger: A Guide for Men. Harbin’s book was grounded on the idea that men express their anger differently than women, and often their expression are more aggressive and violent. Using research studies, Harbin proves that anger in men is a problem because sometimes, anger manifests in maladaptive behaviors that can lead to impulsive crimes such as assault, battery, or murder. Through the book, Harbin aims to educate men about their anger and help them acknowledge the nature of their anger and its impact on their personal and ...

Which Planet Are You From? Inside the Mind of Men and Women

“Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” Males and females have as much in common as night and day, ranging from their physical anatomy to their preferences in hobbies. With men and women both from the same species, how are such various differences possible? When comparing the biology of the two genders, they are similar in body systems, providing essential support and repair to their lives. For instance, a man’s respiratory system has the same function as that of a woman’s for air exchange. So if one’s physical anatomy has no effect in making distinctions ...

Throughout history, women around the globe have been struggling to gain rights that are equal to men in the society. Women have been struggling to obtain respect, equality, and the same rights men have in the society. However, this has been difficult for them because of patriarchy, an ideology whereby, men are always considered to be superior to women, and have the right to control women. This thought has spread widely among the social structures of the society around the globe and this made it difficult for women to achieve their dreams of feminism.

Gender equality in Tennis

Like many sports, tennis is blatantly sexist. Achieving success in the sport rests on masculine characteristics such as stamina, speed, power and strength. Because of the fact that women are unable to compete with men based on these terms, the sport remains to favor men and segregate women. The gender segregation in tennis forces the need to have separate competitions for each gender, separate sets of rules and tactics for each gender, and separate world ranking for each gender. This has also created pay variations. Men side of the sport receives a much high payments than the female side. ...

In the exploration of homosexuality and heterosexuality, certain binaries are often presented – if you have sex with a man, you can in no way be heterosexual. Despite this, there is a vibrant, substantial and highly prevalent subculture of men who identify as heterosexual, but nonetheless still have sex with men. To that end, questions abound regarding their real sexual orientation, the motivations behind labeling themselves heterosexual, and whether or not that really applies to them. The answer to this question lies in a complex plethora of factors, ranging from the construction of homosexuality and heterosexuality, issues of whiteness and ...

The late twentieth century has become the “'age of the image” in the sense that gender roles has affected the stereotypical representation of men and women. McDermott and Schwartz argued that the gender role journey theory is suited to comprehend how men and women adapt their gender role identities in society (202). At the same time, media has presented a theoretical framework in the manner men traverse from positions of acceptance of the conventional gender roles to feminist activism and gender role supremacy. To be able to have a deeper understanding of the gender role journey over ...

Introduction

Simone de Beauvoir in her book 'The Second Sex' has explained how society constitutes a 'woman' by curtailing her freedom from childhood. Women are assumed by the global society "as an already constituted and coherent group with identical interests and desires, regardless of class, ethnic or racial location, implies a notion of gender or sexual difference or even patriarchy which can be applied universally or cross-culturally" (Mohanty 1988). Some stereotypical attributes attached with the essence of women by the society are to a great degree influenced by the contemporary media representation. According to Gerbner, viewers who spend a considerable ...

Are Men Held To Unrealistic Standards in Terms of Gender Stereotypes and Expectations

When people think of gender inequality and unfair standards they usually think of woman and the struggles they have endured and continue to endure in the world.

Women have been portrayed to be weaker than men by the media and society, in general. They have been shown to be less valuable in the workplace, with most media showing them as deserving the smaller roles in the workplace. These aspects, coupled with other factors have led to the characteristic wage gap between men and women in the work place. All over the world, women receive less compensation for their work than men do. For instance in the US, women at the same level as men make on average 22% less or 77 cents on the dollar (Cames, ...

Recent studies regarding the patterns of employment and occupations indicate that there are differences in occupational choices between the male and the female gender. Due to the increase in the number of women attaining education in the United States, women have remained to be an integral part of the United States’ workforce. However, statistics indicate that jobs that have traditionally been associated with men have continued to be male dominated and vice versa. For example most of the blue collar jobs that entail the operation of heavy machinery and other craftsman skills continue to be dominated by men. On ...

These societal roles are passed on from generation to generation and reflected through literary works. The works of the writers collected from various stories are replica of the actual scenes that happen in the society. The ...

Half a century ago, every American man was being entitled to what Sociologist RW Connell refers to as a “patriarchal dividend”, which was a lifelong affirmative-action program for men. The size of this dividend generally varied according to class and race but all men were certain that women would be excluded from all the available desirable jobs or promotions in their line of work, therefore due to this disparity, an average high school male graduate could earn more than an average female college graduate working for the same number of hours. This was also the case in most of ...

The legend that queer history takes place in year 1969 sees a diversity of practices. The ridiculous, traditional form is that queer societies didn't occur back beforehand the '60s ruined our morals. This is certainly a precise manifestation of a more general theory lodged in the historic mind of several North Americans that the misrepresentation in our ethos of the 1950s denotes a picture of an established and enduring ways of existing that were criticized by the decadent '60s, and that there is an unavoidable cultural gap between those with reliability to nostalgia for the previous and ...

She was a transcendentalist, editor, literary critic, journalist and political activist, remembered for her revolutionary ideas as regards women and their rights, their right to employment and education. Among her many essays published in the Dial, of which she was an editor, the most noteworthy ones are ‘The Great Lawsuit: Man versus Men. Woman versus Women.’ and ‘Woman in the Nineteenth Century’, which she later expanded into a book, influencing other feminists and women's rights activists like Susan ...

Towards rethinking the philosophy around relationships, it is plausible to understand the preferences that men and women have over their partners. Psychological debates have indicated the contrast between men and women in determining their inclination to their partners. While men value the physical attributes and attractiveness, women tend to look at the social economic position of their partners.
In view of this, it is important to realize that the basis of attraction between men and women varies along the continuum of socialization, preferences, tastes and values. In light of this, the practical implication of emotional spectrum that shapes the ...

Introduction

Feminism has evolved from the traditional position that it held. For a long time, feminism had been about the incorporation of broader views on equality. Feminism now advocates women rights in leadership, education and other significant things. Prior to the dawn of modernity, the inequalities that were fought for involved mistreatment from society. The feminism that exists today also sensitizes men about several issues and is accommodative of them. Feminist movements fight to prevent more profound issues than was the case in the traditional set up. There is a struggle for medical care, family oriented issues, equal pay and ...

Book review – Men are from Mars, women are from Venus

Introduction
“Men are from mars, women are from Venus” is a user’s guide for married couples to understand each other better, and transform their differences to complement each other to enjoy their long journey together as man and wife. John Gray, renowned relationship counselor and the author of the book, views men and women as having inherently dissimilar values and views about life.

In the history of the United States, racial and gender injustices have been a common thing among the people. There has been unequal treatment based on skin colour and sexual orientation. African Americans are one of the groups that have been on the receiving end of these discriminations.

The duality between genders has been an ongoing phenomenon since the beginning of mankind - man has always been different from woman, and vice versa. Many conflicts have arisen because of an arguably patriarchal society - it is generally considered that men oppress, and women are subjugated. Feminist theory, on the whole, is a type of conflict theory. According to feminist theory, gender is closely related to power; in this case, mankind has invariably held the power over women in relationships and society as a whole. There has been a systematic oppression of women by men, which thereby prevents ...

INTRODUCTION

Gender has been and very likely always will be a subject of great debate. Are men and women more different than alike, can those differences ever be perceived as equal and how do we address those differences and understand better how and why they exist? It goes without saying that men and women are very much alike in many ways, in others they are different. Men and women may think, act, and behave differently in similar circumstances with similar stimuli or scenarios. When it comes to the realm of psychology it has been identified that these behavioral, mental, and ...

A concept can be thought of as a lens that can be used to see a phenomenon or explain it. If the contents of the concept varies, the lenses are changed, and the same phenomenon might appear different to the observer as well. The concept of Nature sometimes is used without being defined but, according to some philosophers, it encloses at least three different meanings , and each can be considered a different glass through which the world can be observed and even defined. Some authors see nature as an inherent quality of all objects, as something that generates them ...

The Role of Women as a Wife and a Mother in the 1870s

Throughout history, men are considered the dominant actors in political, social, economic, and military events. Rarely could one see a woman’s name in historical events in these fields, even see literature depicting the successes of these women without first touching their not so grandiose history, which usually depicted many hardships as compared to the history of heroic men one hears about. One reason for this rare occurrence is the fact that women back in the early centuries did not possess much power, right, and liberty ...

Is Paternity Leave Reasonable?

Maternity leave for women is acceptable throughout the world and is enforced through the respective labor laws of every country.

In the modern world, several activists have called upon different stakeholders to ensure equality is maintained between the two genders. A lot of caution is taken in most sectors to ensure that both genders are presented with equal opportunities in any endeavor. This is very different from what the practice was some years back.

To overcome these traditional myths, women have struggled hard to air their views. One of the ways they have aired their ...

Multitasking refers to the performance of a variety of tasks at one time. It has been defined by many researchers and psychologists. For instance according to Pashler (1994), multi-tasking can be defined as the ability to carry out operations simultaneously.

Abstract

There has been a consensus across cultures that women are chatty and that they talk too much. However, this supposition is not supported by neither empirical nor normative research methodology. In their book, Language Myths: Women Talk Too Much, Bauer & Trudgill vehemently refute the hypothesis that women talk too much (Bauer & Trudgill, 1998, p.43). The dual are of the view that women do not dominate all discussions. Women dominate certain discussions depending on the social context at hand, and the comparative power that they possess in a given situation. As a way of discrediting the idea that woman talk ...

There are several theories about the different models of bisexual behavior. Thus, there are 13 types of bisexuality based on the sexual desires and experiences.
