Discrimination Against Women Women Were Not Allowed
1,031 words
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world. Indeed,
it's the only thing that ever has. " Margaret Mead
For many generations it has been believed that
woman's place is within the walls of their own
homes. How can we ask this of the women in a
culture that is constantly changing and which
makes a need for women to extend their
responsibility outside their own homes. Life isnt
just handed to someone on a silver platter, there
are never ending responsibili...

aspiration of all men, virtue, is derived from the
root for man, "vir. " These examples alone would
lead the attentive observer to ask, "what about
the women?" Traditionally, Greek life in general
was not in tune with the rights of women. Many
philosophers,...

Peggy Rudd Cross Dressers Transvestitism
1,003 words
In the last few decades, there has been a rapid
change in social attitude towards so-called sexual
problems. There has been a call for the freedom to
live in the style of which one chooses, so long as
no one else is harmed in the process. One area
that appears little understood, however, is
transvestitism, or cross-dressing. In order to
gain some knowledge about this phenomenon, there
are many aspects of transvestitism that should be

In todays modern society, your average family is
very expensive. Now add oh, say, six more kids to
that expense. Without corporate sponsorships,
public aid, and donations, maintaining a

Settle The War Womens Equality Women
547 words
Lysistrata is one of the most popular of the
existing Greek comedies and therefore has been of
tremendous influence. The play provides insights
into politics, sexual values, and family values of
the time it was written. The play is not feminist
but displays the sexual hypocrisy of the times and
has given feminists some encouragement. One has to
realize that a lot will depend upon how the
production is staged. Using women, some of them
naked, will get the play condemned as
pornographic. Clothed w...

Men And Women Males And Females

Since the early 1900 s and until the past few
years ago in the scientific field, female equality
among the western culture has risen steadily.
People believe that the reason why females havent
progressed much in the scientific field is because
of male chauvinism and sexism. Well this statement
is as much correct as it is false. The problem
goes deeper then this. Alienation of women from
the sciences by feminists is the least of the
problems that women face when entering the
sciences. Gender bias...

It is common sense that as time progresses,
changes occur, whether they are intentional,
planned changes or not. When large, full-scale
societal changes occur, however, there is often
even greater fluctuation among the other aspects
of society. Marriage has long been held as an
institution that upholds the ideals of a nation,
culture, or tribe. The ideas that are validated by
this institution often manifest themselves in
other parts of the society. Because marriage is

that they are both oil paintings on canvas. Spring
Rain, from the school of Impressionistic art, was
painted in 1912. Summertime, which possesses a

Handmaids Tale Caste System
1,712 words
The Handmaids Tale Many fictitious novels written
today mirror real life; this tactic can provide
readers with a sense of formality. Yet in some
cases, fictitious novels provide readers with the
shocking realization of a society's self
destruction. I believe The Handmaids Tale, written
by Margaret Atwood, falls in the second category.
Issues raised in this novel such as manipulation,
public punishment, ignorance, and pollution are
problems we face in the world today. Atwood's

paradoxical nature of human expression and
feeling. After practicing poetry from the early
1920 s to 1938, she renounced poetry saying that
its no longer served as a means of expressing the
modern word / world . Poetry bears in itself the
