Essays on Motherhood

It is not a surprise that the older women are more likely to deliver twins, especially if it is the first time they get pregnant. The scientists have worked on discovering this mystery and have finally found the reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, after the age of 35, the brain starts to produce follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones which make ovaries produce more than one egg one ovulation eggs. The second reason is the medical treatment or even in vitro fertilization and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection that women diagnosed with unexplained fertility undergo (Jick). The older women are also more prone ...

Teenage pregnancies are one of the worst nightmares that parents with daughters dread most. While motherhood should be considered a blessing, teenagers are not ready and prepared to form families. The United States has one of the highest numbers of documented cases of teenage pregnancies compared to the rest of the world. Every year, an estimated 750,000 teenagers become pregnant around the United States with majority of them resulting in live births. Patel PH, Sen B (2006) found that teenage births increased between 2005 and 2006 from 40.5 t0 41.9 per 1000 births. Teenage pregnancies have a lot ...

Poetry is an art where the poet plays around with words to pass a message that is always hidden in a few words. Poets concentrate in using a few words imaginatively, arranging the words in a creative ways such that a very long story is told in very few words. Also, poetry has to sound as good music to the listener. Poets from different parts of the world always take reference in things that are found in their environments. This fact is what always brings out the difference in the way in which poems from various regions of the world can be compared and ...

Gender is defined as the activities, roles and behavior assigned in a social place with reference to women and men. Though it is normally confused with sex, it is not. Sex is the biological issue of whether a person is male or female. Gender on the other hand is the society’s code of behavior as to how a man or woman is supposed to behave and act. These distinct given roles are what give rise to inequalities. This difference is that which gives systematical favor to one group and disfavors another. This may occur in terms of health services, job opportunities, ...

The setting is very important in any work of fiction. Often, the setting in the work of fiction carries a symbolic meaning that helps underscore the central theme of the work of fiction. In light of this, this paper will consider the symbolic function that the settings in A Worn Path and I Stand Here Ironing by Eudora Welty and Tillie Olsen respectively. The central theme in Eudora’s A Worn Path is the triumph of human love. This is seen through the protagonist who endures everything to make a journey inspired by the love for her grandson. Although she is ...

There have been many studies on the relationship between feminist and conformity to masculinity. Being born a male or female in a society is more beyond a mere biological fact. The Social setup usually redefines, revalue and represent the biological sexes. There are various normal associated with being born a woman or a man. According to an American Anthropologist, Gender is defined as a set of arrangements by which the society has transformed biological sexuality into a reflection of human activity. The society expects that individuals meet the transformed sexual needs. According to Nancy Fraser in her theory on status, stated that there is a need for ...

Basch, C. E. (2011). Teen Pregnancy and the Achievement Gap Among Urban Minority Youth.Journal Of School Health, 81(10), 614-618. doi:10.1111/j.1746- 1561.2011.00635.x

Teens who become pregnant are at risk in terms of educational achievement (many are high school drop outs) and poverty. Moreover, daughters of teen mothers are more likely to become unwed teen mothers themselves. (Basch, 2011) Basch agrees with Kearney and Levine that teen pregnancy is mostly due to low socio-economic status. There is also an indication that teen mothers score lower on cognitive exams. He also agrees with Pazol and McKay that decreases in teen births are due to increased sexual education and use of contraceptives. However, he also indicates that among African-American females, the increase may also ...

In an ideal world, all workplaces would be free from discrimination and unfairness. However, because the workplace is run by human beings, each person brings his or her own ideas and opinions into the workplace. This is compounded by the fact that most companies have a hierarchical structure, and some people are necessarily put in charge of others; when these people do not have a good sense of what is equitable and fair insofar as management behavior is concerned in a company, issues can occur in the workplace.

Favoritism is one of the biggest problems that an employee can face in the ...

Introduction

Teenage pregnancy in modern societies is being viewed as a dysfunctional. Historically, across cultures it was discovered to be functional since teenage couples were encouraged to begin raising a family very early. With contemporary educational trends this value of childbirth at a very early age has been replaced by getting into college, having a degree and then thinking about childbirth in one’s late twenties; thirties or even forties. This research project hopes to explore how appropriate this perception of when pregnancy should occur and the damnation cast on teenage pregnancy in our modern world. It is also the author’s intention to ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Review: The Prices of Motherhood Today the shelves of bookstores appear to be littered with propaganda either glorifying or demoralizing the job of being a mother. It has become less of a true stance in the world, and more of a political debate, standing alongside people who disagree on smoking in public, or abortion. We no longer argue the real issues when it comes to motherhood, but simply pass off whether or not motherhood is “hard” or “worth it” in terms of our own lives. We generalize the rest of the population’s stance based on our own views in terms ...

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 ...

The progress made in the field of aviation has reached new paradigms. The simple airframe of the Wright Brothers has been modernized beyond belief. Although this industry has been claimed as the frontier of men, none can overlook the significant contributions made by women aviators. Women have been able to break the glass ceiling and rise to the highest levels in the aviation industry since 1903. Despite the laws and policies that protect the rights of women, inequality between men and women still remains widespread and deep rooted especially in this field dominated by the male counterparts. Little do ...

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, ...

Surrogacy refers to an arrangement whereby a woman carries a pregnancy for another person, especially for individuals who cannot give birth. The rapid rise in outsourcing surrogacy has raised concern among people around the world. Some of the issues that develop from the practice include ethical concerns on women who offer themselves as surrogates, the women paying for surrogacy services, the agencies that contract such women, the government authorities, and the medical practitioners who build their practice around the practice. It is essential to identify the factors that contribute to the rise of surrogacy and outsourcing surrogacy, especially in less developed ...

Anne Crowther’s Why Women should be Nurses and not Doctors compare the differences between female doctors and nurses with respect to a classic example of two of the most prominent figures in their respective fields: Florence Nightingale and Sophia Jex-Blake. The paper starts with the author describing how Nightingale, on return from the Crimean war and already a legend in her field, set up the Nightingale school for nurses. Even though the school was never considered a success, it was able to keep up a good reputation in accordance to the reputation she had made amongst the public. Through the article, the ...

Similar to most of the other radical voices within the Revolutionary Era, there was much support towards gender equality encountered both disapproval and shock. Revolutionary movements of the time remained the pace of male dominance and preference (Gundersen 98). On the other hand, the elusive understanding for proper relationships between women, men, and the entire world undertook a significant dimension in the period. For this reason, the republican thrust with respect to revolutionary politics needed self-disciplined and intelligent citizens towards forming the new republic’s core. The element came in handy in helping to shape new ideals for the wives ...

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 ...

- If Adam Smith were faced with the problem of procuring donor organs, he might suggest that we would be better off relying on donors’ self-interest rather than their benevolence, and advocate a market solution to distributing this scarce resource. Karl Polanyi, however, might argue that society would be harmed by allowing the market to displace the gift relationships created by voluntary donation. Although both died before successful organ transplantation was possible, use what you have learned of their theories to state the position you think each would take on whether and why organ donations should be organized on a market ...

The family is a perennial topic in disaster films, where individuals struggle over moral and ethical decisions that continuously bother their conscience throughout the narrative. In the conventional collapse of modern society in disaster films, the family is oftentimes the only institution left that can withstand the chaos that ensues as a result of government failure. Where there is no community or social structure whatsoever to turn to, the main characters within the disaster narrative resort to forging their own relationships with the people they come into contact with, whether it is based on blood relations, an identical purpose, or a similar ...

Key concept and rationale

The gay liberation movement gained momentum in the 1970s and gave rise to many two men and two women relationship households. As a result, many such same gender couples have been opting for means to raise biological families, in a manner similar to heterosexual couples. The key concept of the article was to explore the preconception, pregnancy and new motherhood experiences of the non-biological mothers in the lesbian couple. There have been many studies depicting the need for becoming a biological parent among the lesbian mothers; however, very few studies have been conducted to understand the unique difficulties faced by the lesbian ...

12 Years a Slave Jamestown, Virginia discovered success with the cultivation and export of tobacco to England in 1619. The profit was so high, two imports were arranged: 20 black men for labor and 90 women from England for brides. This is the beginning of slavery in America (Innercity.org 2014). The brutality of slavery was depicted in art, photographs, literature, and journalism. While many slave owners treated their slaves well, history remembers beatings, rape, murder, and splitting families apart. The debate at the time was whether Africans were animals, human, or a blending of the two. The argument was decided ...

Redefining motherhood

Introduction The economy and the cost of living change the perspective of parenting in general and mothering in particular. With a high demand for basic needs such as education, mothers are increasingly flooding the job market to earn a living and supply their children's needs. This action leads to high rates of single-parent families or inadequate interaction between the mother and her family. The traditional form of nuclear family consisting a working man as the sole bread-winner and the wife as a full-time home-maker is on the decline in most urban households (Garey, 1993). In order to match the new standards and ...

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 ...

The American Revolutionists have difficulties in unifying the United States which comprises of colonies which are newly independent.

Introduction

Chapter 1 of Bombshell: Women and Terrorism by Mia Bloom, entitled “A Brief History of Terror and the Logic of Oppression,” served as an introduction to terrorism as a phenomena per se and the participation of women as terrorists (9-34). Apart from explaining the evolution of terrorism through its four waves – anarchist, anti-colonial, New Left and religious, Chapter 1 provided concise yet informative information on the engagement of women in terrorist activities (9-34). As argued by Bloom (9-34), it has been highly unusual for women to get themselves involved in terrorism, given that they have a traditional profile characterized by peace, ...

When the surrogates egg is used, she has utilized one egg she will never be able to use for a child of her own. However, when the mother’s own egg is used the surrogate is not being asked to give up something that is non-replinshable (Gentleman, 2008). The move to outsource surrogacy to poor countries leaves women vulnerable to being exploited through the need to earn money through surrogacy. In addition, these women may go through numerous pregnancy and births and be looked at as little more than a baby factory affecting their dignity (Nilanjana, 2011). It is ...

Toni Morrison’s Sula and Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” are two texts that explore the African-American woman’s quest for sexual and social autonomy, in that both texts contend that the African-American woman’s construction of a sexual identity is primarily shaped by the women who raise her, as well as societal expectations and traditions. The process by which an African-American mother or mother figure teaches a young African-American female about sexuality is often laden with religious indoctrination, accusations of licentiousness, personal anecdotes about male duplicitousness, and fearful warnings about chastity. Both texts illustrate how the enforced standards and multiple instructions ...

I am a mom. This is probably the best thing a woman can be. Motherhood is a miracle, unique for each woman. But why is being a mother so special when there are so many moms around? When you are a mother, you are a creator. You shape and mould a new human being, a new soul, and the results depend solely on what you do. This makes you realize the tremendous responsibility that lies on your shoulders and helps you comprehend the meaning of life. And it is obvious that all your hard work is not in vain: you see your child grow and develop, ...

[Client’s Name] [Client’s University] 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 ...

There have recently been increased incidences of mothers harming their newborn babies intentionally. This might appear to be very bizarre given that a mother is naturally expected to show extreme care and sensitivity to her newborn baby.

Generally, parents who are ...

Thesis: Furthermore, because procreation by bondwomen can be regarded as both a means of perpetuating slavery and an act of love and self-sacrifice, the sexuality of enslaved women and their relationship to their offspring must be understood as a complex negotiation involving individual agency, resistance, and power (Li 14). - This episode introduces what Jacobs continually describes as the fundamental evil of familial bonds; its flagrant destruction of familial bonds (Li 15). - Slavery disrupts the relationship between parent and child not only by allowing each to be sold to different masters, but by positing a figure of authority and ...

Hoop Dreams: Job Discrimination

Question #1: When it comes to determining compensation an employee deserves, several factors would have to be taken into consideration. First of all, the need of the company for an employee to perform a particular job must be balanced with the cost factor, the realistic amount the company is able to afford. The skill requirement for the job must be considered, because if the job is a difficult one requiring a lot of education, experience, and so forth, it will be harder to find, attract, and keep employees who have these skills. If little training or education is required, the compensation ...

History tells a very difficult life people had to live by during the holocaust. Within the walls of the concentration camps, people lived in fear of being killed any time. One may even reach a conclusion that a person would be better off dead than alive because then, they are at peace and not with the emotional turmoil that those who were alive lived with. A story is told by two writers, one who chose to cover the story of three women in the hands of the Nazi on their death march to and in the concentration camp, the story of Rosa, ...

Orientalism encompasses an academic discourse featuring a patronizing attitude by Westerners towards Asian and African societies. The West perceives Asian and African societies as undeveloped and static and in this way, creates a fallacious oriental culture by which Asians and Africans can be studied, shown and reproduced. On the other hand, in this fabrication by the Westerners, the West is taken to be developed, flexible, dynamic and superior. An etiological analysis of this term will suffice. Orientalism finds its origins in the word “Orient” which translates to the East, as seen by the West. Further, the term Orient has its origins ...

Analysis - "The Mother" and “Daughters”

Poetry about family can often reveal fascinating dynamics in these omnipresent and complex relationships. In Gwendolyn Brooks' "The Mother," the regret and guilt that a woman experiences upon reflecting on the various abortions she has had throughout her life is presented in an intriguing and haunting way. The suffering that the mother expresses in this poem is done through Brooks' expert use of figurative language and repetition, as the potential these children had before her abortions, as she sees them, is made clear. Meanwhile, Lucille Clifton’s “Daughters” allows a young woman to imagine the grandmother she never met, and the ...

Summary of The Awakening and Other Stories

Summary The Awakening stands as an enlightening story for women at the time it Kate Chopin wrote it. Women during the 19th century typically stayed within the confines of their socially constructed roles, limited to that of being a wife and mother. Yet, the protagonist of the book of Chopin, Edna Pontellier, bravely stood against said roles, imposing herself instead as an epitome of individualism. Throughout the story, Edna had to struggle in dealing with society, which typically defined her as just the wife of her husband Leonce and the mother of her son Raoul. Helpful in the gradual ...

Teenage pregnancy and childbirth is a burning issue in Australia. Statistical data showcase detrimental effects of being an adolescent mother, since young mothers appear to experience long-term psychological impairments, serious developmental crisis and physical problems (Bishop, 2007).

Introduction

An excerpt from the The Perfect Madness by Judith Warner, This Mess, talks about the oppressive nature of motherhood in America. The author talks about the deteriorating quality of life led by an adult mother in America. She is clear with her disdain for the America-approach to motherhood and throughout the excerpt she evidently denunciates the expectations of the American society from an adult woman who is also a mother. The c'estmoi, or “this mess”, pertains to the unfortunate fact that no matter how qualified or talents a woman is, as soon as she starts bearing children, the only qualification expected ...

This makes it difficult for them to cope up with the working conditions in which they are expected to discharge their duties. This paper gives a critical evaluation of female police officers. It does this by focusing on the historical trends, their numbers, challenges and the ...

In the early 20th century, the Canadian people placed lot of expectation and emphasis on the roles that the women played in the society.
