Paper Introduction:
The Relationship Between Gender and Math/Science Achievement
Introduction
Public schools have shifted to a racial and linguistic composition that includes Hispanics and other ethnic populations. Many students are English language learners and many have low socioeconomic status. It remains unclear how to best assist this group of students with mathematics and science learning, since findings related to gender and ethnicity and these subjects are inconclusive.
Problem
Previous research findings showed that fourth-grade males had higher average mathematics achievement scores than fourth-grade females, however for grades eight and twelve, male and female scores were not significantly different; males and fe

Paper Introduction:
Pornography and Sexual Violence
Introduction
The question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence has been discussed by Scott and Cuvelier (1993) who make the point that there is a consensus that the amount of sexually violent material has increased dramatically in recent years and that the violence in pornography is associated with increased violence toward women. Barron and Kimmel (2000) note that sexually violent content in magazine, video, and Internet pornography tends to victimize women and present visions of women’s victimization as acceptable forms of sexual activity. This brief report will examine the question of whether or not pornography promotes sexual violence against women and men as well as children.

Paper Introduction:
Introduction
Historically, the word “rape” has transfigured from meaning to act in haste, to meaning to seizing someone else’s property violently, to meaning sexual intercourse occurring without the consent of one of the people involved, primarily using force or deception (Oxford English Dictionary, 1989). This most current meaning creates a picture of a stranger lurking in the bushes on a dark night, breaking into a house, or kidnapping a victim in a car to take them someplace else to rape, and possibly kill. While these types of attacks are very real, they are only a part of the entire picture of rape. According to one study by the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Rape, 92 percent of adolescent rape victims were acquainted with their attackers. Other studies estimate that at least 50 to 75 percent

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as it relates to women. Contends that certain personality traits of women (dependent persoanlity, emotionalism) are labled as psychiatric disorders by the white male mental health community. Cites several articles discussing the issue. Historical bias against women. Suggestion for a better diagnostic system.
Paper Introduction:
Introduction
Perceptions of gender and gender roles have been constantly readjusting over the last few decades, resulting in a plethora of written material about the societal disadvantages experienced by women, as well as their emotional costs (Halgin, 2001, p. 14). Although researchers and clinicians have attempted to keep the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) up to date, “psychiatric diagnosis and help-seeking behavior are multifaceted, and sometimes they involve subtle bias” (p. 14). Halgin presents Terry A. Kupers’ article, “The Politics of Psychiatry: Gender and Sexual Preference in DSM-IV” in contrast to “Gender Issues in DSM-IV” by Ruth Ross, Allen Frances, and Thomas A. Widiger, as examples of this ongoing discussion.

This research examines gender diversity in the nursing workplace. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which diversity has arisen as a salient feature of the nursing profession and principles of nursing practice that are relevant to the issue, and then to discuss ways in which diversity of the nursing work force--in particular gender diversity--has an impact on the substance and form of nursing practice, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of professional development.

Gender is a social construction; it concerns the differing qualities culturally attributed to women and men …. The study of gender is, like the study of class or of race, also the study of inequality; we are interested in not only why women do not occupy positions of power, status or re

Overview of Argument
It is apparent that gender inequality in the workplace is not a uniquely American phenomenon. Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (1998) in their excellent analysis of multicultural management address the issue of gender issues with this challenging observation. “One might ask whether organizations should seek to promote women because they are “just as good” or because they are “significantly different” and they want the benefit of that difference” (Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, 1998, 229).
The feeling of the two authors is that gender differences are not as essential a stumbling block as are racial issues. “Ethnic diversi

Paper Introduction:
Sexuality & Gender
Bailey & Foucault
In The History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault argues that sexuality and sexual conduct are not natural categories. In other words, they have no basis in reality. Instead, these categories are a product of social construction. They only come into being in the context of a social setting (i.e. society). Sexuality and sexual conduct, being formed by social construct, are to a significant degree influenced by social control: “Between the state and individual, sex became an issue, and a public issue no less; a whole web of discourses, special knowledges, analyses, and injunctions settled upon it” (Foucault, 1978, 26). Power relations are instrumental to Foucault’s analysis, and in the so

Paper Introduction:
Historically, gender occurred as behavior patterns and personality traits differentiated along lines of biological sex. These later became associated with cultural norms for the meanings of “masculinity” and “femininity” (Tong, 1989). For example, early hominids lived in communities of some sort that offered protection, belonging, food shelter, and a sense of belonging. Because of this early need of community, and the needs of those in the community, there was a break down of duties and a separation of labor early on. Men, being usually bigger, became the hunters and gatherers, while the women stayed at home to tend the fields, cook, and care for the children. In exchange, a woman was offered protection from wild animals as well as from other men who might want to “claim” her, while the man was provided with a home and nest where he was offered physi

Introduction
In 1996, the World Futurist Society ran a long article in its magazine, The Futurist, detailing what the new millennium would hold for women in the future. The fact that the article was written by a man brought such ire to the editorial offices that in May, 1997, the magazine devoted almost the entire issue to the responses from women around the world, citing what they felt would be the real issues.
In the introduction to the special article the editors summarized the recurring themes that appeared in most of the articles. Those themes were:
* No more glass ceilings. In business, women would become entrepreneurs, hiring and mentoring other women.

Paper Abstract:
Discusses biological & cultural influences on attitudes. Concepts of "feminine" & "masculine."
Paper Introduction:
In every society, children learn from their parents the concept of "feminine" and "masculine" and what that means in a given culture. After all, much about these conceptions is not biological at all but cultural. The way we tend to think about men and women and their gender roles in society constitute the prevailing paradigm that influences our thinking. This may change over time, and in the last forty years or so we have seen the concept undergo considerable change in the face of the feminist movement and related efforts to challenge traditional attitudes and ideas with something more egalitarian.
At the same time, as we can all see in our own family situations, there are certain gender roles and attitudes that do not change that much. Men and women are differentiated biologically by sexual function and by the general role of women

Paper Introduction:
THE MODERN MEDIA AND THE MYTHOLOGY OF MALE GENDER ROLES
Myths are not falsehoods or fairy tales, but uncontested and generally unconscious assumptions that are so widely shared within a culture that they are considered natural. Biology determines whether we are male or female, culture determines what it means to be male or female, and what sorts of behaviors and personality attributes are appropriate for each gender role (Strate, 1992, 248).
As Joseph Campbell has shown in his pioneering work on mythology, The Hero With A Thousand Faces, there is a method to what seems random. One can study stories from many different cultures and different historical periods, and find a similar structure in each tale. Campbell calls this "the hero's journey," and it goes like this: (1) the hero is taken from his

Paper Introduction:
Abstract
Same-sex marriage has never been allowed in law or religious doctrine, but recently Hawaii has passed a law to allow same-sex marriage. Other stats have objected and fear being forced to recognize such unions. Religious leaders protest as well and see such a law as a threat to religious freedom. Many see same-sex marriage as a threat to the definition of marriage and to the family and marital bonds in society as well. The reasons for these objections are analyzed, as well as the reasons why same-sex marriage should not be enacted into law.
The issue to be discussed is whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to marry one another. There are a number of rationales that have been offered by those in the gay community as to why they should be allowed to marry, and generally the

Gender and Work
Sex and Gender
In order to explore the relationship between gender and work, it is essential to define the fundamental difference between sex and gender. Sex refers to the biological distinctions between male and female based on reproductive organs and functions. On the other hand, gender is a social construct that reflects the interaction between biology and sociological factors such as class, culture, race and the individual. Coltrane and Collins delineate the difference between the two terms clearly in Sociology of Marriage and the Family: “Gender reminds us that the social roles of being male and female are largely produced by the culture, while sex refers

Paper Introduction:
Miedzian, Myriam. Boys Will Be Boys. New York: Doubleday, 1991.
In the book Boys Will Be Boys, Myriam Miedzian examines issues of gender in American society, specifically with an eye to analyzing why boys in America turn to violence so often in contemporary society. The subtitle is "Breaking the Link Between Masculinity and Violence," suggesting that the book will show ways of altering the usual connection seen between being male and being violent.
The author finds that what we call male behavior is accepted in society as the norm, as if males were violent by nature and so had to act out certain rituals as part of their genetic heritage. The differences between the genders were

Looking at Language
It might help to start by making some distinctions in terminology. Many terms have been used interchangeably, and there is some confusion about their meaning. The basic terms are transvestite, transsexual, and transgenderist. The transvestite individual, whether male or female, is the individual who attempts to look lik

Paper Abstract:
Examines differentiation between the 2 genders formed by role of popular culture. Adverse effects on boys & girls of cultural stereotyping.
Paper Introduction:
In our contemporary landscape, violence masquerading as the display of machismo and the relentless pursuit of beauty are celebrated. American boys and girls are constantly bombarded by a barrage of images that pressure them to fit into cultural stereotypes. While boys are mesmerized by the cold steel of modern weaponry in the gun culture, girls are dazzled by the vast array of fashion, beauty products, diet programs and plastic surgeries. The bottom line is that boys are judged by what they do and girls by how they look. This fundamental characteristic ultimately defines the crucial differentiation between the two genders and their social roles.
According to the typical masculine stereotype, men are not allowed to display their weak emotions, such as sadness and fear. Consequently, with the passage of time, the long-term

Paper Abstract:
Examines the topsy-turvy, ever changing career of pop star Madonna. Focuses on the 1991 film documentary TRUTH OR DARE & various critical responses to it.
Paper Introduction:
Madonna is a pop icon who is known to reinvent herself from time to time, changing her style, changing her look, and changing her image. Image is in fact very important to Madonna. She started as the Material Girl, mirroring the attitude in her popular song. She reinvented herself as a nastier version of that girl, one who wore underwear on stage and projected sexuality. She also tried to be the dutiful wife and an actress at the same time when she was married to Sean Penn. She became even more overtly sexual after that and alternated between a raunchy stage performance and an attempt to portray a more sophisticated woman in film. In fact, one of the problems Madonna has is that she cannot settle on one image and keep it. This may please many of her fans, but it confuses others and has probably hurt her film career. She is not a bad actress but is also

Paper Abstract:
Examines the growing market for a variety of male health & beauty products.
Paper Introduction:
Men today will do many things to keep up a good appearance that in the past they would have considered too feminine or otherwise wrong for men to pursue. Men are working harder to make themselves look younger, stronger, more powerful, and healthier. This is part of a general trend in which all people are more interested in health, exercise, and youth, things that our whole society sees as important. Men are going to great lengths to give themselves a better appearance.
One way to see how important this has become for men is to look into the way men are buying certain products to add to their appearance and their health. One observer writes,
As the bulk of the male baby boomers approach 50, now more than ever, men are examining their options for looking as fit and healthy as possible. While it seem

Paper Abstract:
Examines the changes in workplace policies & attitudes toward sexual harassment following the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill controversy.
Paper Introduction:
Sexual harassment has become a major topic of discussion and concern recently not because it is a new problem, which it is not, but because of the notoriety given the subject by the Senate confirmation hearings for Justice Clarence Thomas and the allegations of Anita Hill raised at those hearings. This event made the nation more aware of the problem and initiated a debate on the subject that continues today. Many businesses have instituted policies regarding sexual harassment in the workplace and what to do about it both before it occurs and after, but many other companies have avoided taking the necessary steps and have either pretended that the problem does not exist or have simply failed to address it. Most business analysts today find that this is not the best approach; that some policy should be developed, implemented, and communicated in the organization both to prevent

Paper Abstract:
Argues for legalization & regulation to do away with related crimes, disease, drugs, violence.
Paper Introduction:
Prostitution should be legalized in order to regulate the world’s “oldest trade” that has constantly defied attempts by authority to suppress it (“Street cleaning,” 1991, p. A28). Banning prostitution has not only failed to eradicate the trade, but has transformed the trade into a seedy world of criminals, pimps, and disease-ridden prostitutes contributing to the health risks of society. A Dutch town hall official’s comment captures the reality of the situation in the Netherlands succinctly: “If an industry is unregulated and criminalised then it’s going to be run by criminals” (Sissons, 1999, p. 27). Furthermore, government authorities have expended a tremendous amount of resources in their attempts to enforce prostitution laws, leading to widespread police abuse of the system and the diversion of resources away from more serious crimes, such as homic

Paper Abstract:
Examines changing public views & laws, focusing on state sodomy statutes.
Paper Introduction:
This paper is a discussion of the changing attitudes toward homosexual rights in America, with particular emphasis on sodomy laws, especially those in Texas. Laws designed to legislate sexual behavior have tended to reflect the prevailing social opinions regarding those behaviors. Homosexuality, which has a long history of social disapproval, has slowly been gaining acceptance, but it remains a difficult issue, and this difficulty is reflected in the ways in which government, at the local, state, and federal levels, has tried to regulate it. Texas remains one of the last states to maintain a law against sodomy that is aimed particularly at limiting and punishing homosexual behavior. Such laws illustrate the conflict between the individual's right to privacy and the desire of government to set standards of public behavior.

Paper Abstract:
Legal analysis of major cases shaping definition & treatment of harassment & hostile work environment for both women & men.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
Sexual harassment in the workplace has always been a problem and has always been of great importance, but the public's awareness of the issue has not always been high. This changed radically with the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings in 1991 and with the accusations of sexual harassment leveled against him by Anita Hill. This event more than any other catapulted sexual harassment to a high position in the public consciousness and made it clear that such activities were degrading to women, harmful to the work environment, and detrimental to public policy. The fact that this problem had been underground for so long also showed that more knowledge of the subject was needed and perhaps that legislation was required to assure a harassment-free workplace in the future. However, precisely what defines
