Roles in Fairy Tales
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining the traditional gender roles
presented in the classic fairy tales. Beginning from
the observations of psychoanalyst Karen Horney and
anthropologist Margaret Mead, the paper is mostly
involved with the traditional view of the beautiful
princess waiting for the rescue that will come in the
person of the handsome prince. The concern with these
tales is that they will train young female readers
that normal life is that which can be found in the
traditional fairy tale, and that they perpetuate
traditional gender roles in which women depend on men
for their very survival and are unable to think for
themselves. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Roles, Organization & Leadership

cultures are rare. Here, the role of gender as it
affects leadership, and to a lesser extent, social
organization is examined in and compared among three
societies: the Sepik region of Papua, New Guinea; the
community of Stinking Creek, Kentucky; and the general
society in which we live. Bibliography lists 8

Stratification in the Canadian Workplace
[ send
me this paper ]
A 12 page discussion of the differing social
expectations in Canada which result in an unequal
representation of women in the professional workplace.

more progressive workplace atmosphere of Japan and
suggests that the cause of these discrepancies lies
both in history and in the contemporary Canadian home.

professional female role models will be more eager to
pursue professional occupations. Bibliography lists 11

in years past. Bibliography lists two sources.

Gender:
Nature Or Nurture?
[ send
me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Gender issues span a significant
range of concerns based upon performance, intelligence
and aptitude; however, the very fundamental components
of such social struggle stem from whether nature or
nurture commands greater credit and why. Patriarchy
has long assumed that the male gender is, by nature,
regarded as superior over its female counterpart;
while this mentality has been somewhat reversed in
certain global communities, it still takes precedent
in many others that refuse to alter centuries-worth of
tradition. Of the myriad occasions for the
nature/nurture argument to exist, sports and language
represent two where the student might apply a
combination of both aspects. Bibliography lists 5
sources.

Hildegard
of Bingen: Attitudes Toward Men And Women
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Hildegard of Bingen was considered
a trendsetter of her time; not only did she speak
openly of sexual relations between a man and a woman,
but she addressed myriad other topics that, up until
her literary candor, had only been discussed in
private. One area in particular that Hildegard
approached with vehemence and resolution is that of
the importance of men and women within the context of
society. These attitudes are generally equal in
respect; however, the one point the can be argued as
being more significant than the others relates to her
opinion of Adam and Eve. In Causeae et Curae, she
argued that if Adam had succumbed to the serpent
instead of Eve, the original sin thus created would
have been too strong to be overcome at all. Otherwise,
she believed that the roles both men and women assume
within the social environment are complementary, both
required for the proper functioning of society.

Ibsen
Meets Euripides (Nora and Medea)
[ send
me this paper ]
(5 pp). Remember some old saying that you heard as a
kid: The more things change, the more they stay the
same. As a kid the phrase did not make a lot of sense,
and by the time you were an adult, you did not want it
to be true, let alone make sense. There is that same
thread of commonality in both of the female
"heroes," in this discussion: society has
determined what their roles are and how long they are
to enact them. Enter Nora and Medea, who both prove to
have minds of their own. Bibliography lists 2 sources)

Medieval
Gender Roles

re-establish former roles. Bibliography lists 2

children. She has a high school education yet has not

Prejudice:
Article Critique
[ send

6 pages in length. In a perfect world, all entities,

same fair light. However, this is not a perfect world,
and people of various races, gender and origins are

receive. Regardless of the color of one's skin or the
sound of one's voice, racial bias has likely tainted

Prostitution:
Differing Feminist Views
[ send
me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the inroads made to
understanding female prostitution which have resulted
with feminist research. Notes that feminist research
on female prostitution has in itself exhibited a
two-sided approach to the issues. On the one hand,
feminist research indicts female prostitution as a
system of exploitation and sexual abuse and as an
institution which results in sexual subordination and
enslavement. Other feminist research, however, views
female prostitution as a means by which women can
empower themselves and materially prosper by preying
on the needs and desires of men. Summarizes each view
and concludes by noting that the key to understanding
prostitution is a fuller understanding of the
applications of the words "choice" and
"consent". Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Sexual
and Marital Alternatives
[ send
me this paper ]
A 7 page paper that presents the alternatives some
women are choosing around the world as an escape from
the marriage construct model. The model is presented
and used throughout the paper. The paper operates from
the views of feminist anthropologists such as Pat
Caplan and Veona Oldenburg, and posits that the
empowerment actions embodied in the courtesans of
Indian and lesbian mothers, in effect, are empowering
acts to the women in those situations, despite their
relationship to the model. These acts, therefore, make
a positive contribution to the feminist
anthropological record. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Supreme Court decision (Davis vs Monroe County School

definition, age of consent, ethics, learning to deal
with the opposite sex and common sense. Bibliography

heterosexual individual and relates how their lives
illustrate certain theories on sexuality proposed by
the researchers cited in the paper. Bibliography lists

Spousal
Homicide: Can It Be Defended?
[ send
me this paper ]
(6 pp) The significance and use of a successful
provocation plea as an extenuating ground is usually
that it reduces murder to manslaughter, despite the
fact the defendant intended to-and did-kill in anger.
The unique feature of provocation is that the plea may
extenuate even though it is accepted that, in killing,
the defendant was not seeking to save him or herself
from death or injury. The following information should
enforce the possibility of use of the provocation
defense. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Staying
Single In Contemporary Society

In this 7 page research paper, the writer argues that

citing a number of statistics which demonstrate that
fewer people are even marrying at all, the writer
moves on to show materialistic reasons why men in
particular are better off unmarried. Economic issues
concerning child-rearing, the likelihood of divorce,
etc.;- -are all factored into the discussion. Although
not necessarily any easier, the trend towards
"living together" is briefly analyzed as
well. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Susan
Moller Okin's "Justice, Gender, And The
Family"
[ send
me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Susan Moller Okin, author of
"Justice, Gender, and the Family," espouses
to three distinct aspects of political space that deal
with women and children: tradition, personal and
property. Upon further examination, one finds that the
author reconstructs the family as a means by which to
increase political space in these three particular
areas, with special emphasis placed upon women and
children. The approach she takes in reconstruction is
by reviewing and heavily critiquing philosopher John
Rawls' social contract theory for having grossly
overlooked the issue of gender. No additional sources

The
Females of Edgar Allen Poe's "Ligeia" and
Rose Terry Cooke's "My Visitation"
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the underlying theme of
femininity in these two short stories. Suggests that
in many ways these depictions vary somewhat from the
stereotypical vision of male writers depicting weak
and inferior women and female writers presenting a
more factually accurate portrait of their female
characters. In many ways Poe presents a stronger image
of women in "Ligeia" than does Cooke in
"My Visitation". While Poe's short stories
could be said to glorify the image of a strong woman,
Cooke's actually derides that strength. No additional
sources are listed.
