Comedies: Conflicting Stereotypes, Views And Messages
[ send
me this paper ]
Since the 1960s, women have been portrayed on
television in a number of different ways, from brash
and empowered heroines of shows like 'The Avengers' to
demure and careful familial serial depiction. More
than any other decade since the advent of television,
though, the 1990s have marked definitive trends in the
representations of women that are perhaps the most
offensive in television history. This 8 page paper
considers the issue of the depiction of women on
television, particularly women in television situation
comedies, and considers the implications for a
societal view of women. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Women
and the 'Declaration of the Rights of Man'
[ send
me this paper ]
An 11 page paper discussing changes in women's
conditions over the 19th and 20th centuries from the
perspective of the French Declaration of the Rights of
Man and Citizen (1789). In contrast to the conditions
that existed before the Declaration was issued, it can
be said that its points have been fulfilled. The
position that women now occupy is vastly improved over
that of prior generations, even though contemporary
struggles would mask the gains that have been made. As
written, the Declaration's goals have been achieved.
As interpreted in light of the philosophers under
whose influence the Declaration was written, there is
still much more ground to gain - not in terms of
technicalities, but rather in attitudes. Bibliography
lists 10 sources.
