Feminist Jane Addams' Social Ethic
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing Jane
Addams' feminist and social ethics. Founder of Chicago's Hull House and outspoken
advocate for peace prior to World War I, Jane Addams was not particularly liberal in her
views, but settled more in the realm of doing what's right. Present-day feminism
frequently has been opposed to social systems; social ethic has not recognized feminism.
An example from a century ago provided the model of a bridge long ago, one that should
be seriously considered for application today. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Fictional Portrayals of Women: William Faulkner Contrasted with Margaret Atwood
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison of the portrayals of women found in William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" and Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale". Observes that the characterization of women in "As I Lay Dying" differs significantly from that in "The Handmaid's Tale". While the women in Faulkner's book are presented as simpletons and immoral, Atwood's women are presented as highly intelligent despite the societal prohibitions for being so and highly moral despite the forced circumstances of their lives. Both portrayals, however, are replete with stereotypical representations of women. In "The Handmaid's Tale", however, we are reassured that women are not shallow, not by nature promiscuous, despite the societal circumstances in which they may be forced to live.

Formative Sexual Experiences: A Chapter by Laumann et al in Comparison with Other Contemporary Studies
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing formative sexual experiences. Formative sexual experiences are those which relate to initial sexual intercourse and in most social science investigations are based on heterosexual relations. Chapter 9: Formative Sexual Experiences in �The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States� by Laumann et al in 1994, reports the trends found in a national survey done in the United States. Generally, it was found by the investigators that there has been a steady decline in age over the past forty years in regards to first intercourse and this is consistent with other studies. Other results of the study found that men�s motive for their first sexual experience is largely that of sexual curiosity while women motivations are more emotionally based. Other results found that one in twenty women reported being forced for her first sexual intercourse and a substantial proportion of men and women reported preadolescent sexual conduct with adults. In relation to other studies conducted, Laumann�s results are consistent with those reported in the United States but some factors differ from studies conducted in other areas of the world such as New Zealand, Norway, and Thailand to name a few. While all studies reported that the age of initial sexual experience is declining, the long lasting effects on relationships are not always considered to be negative as reported in a New Zealand study and females and males differ in their sexual motivations in Nordic society. The differences in the studies are often based on the differences on the social norms and structures of each society and because of this Laumann�s report can only be taken in the context of American society in the early 1990s.

Gender Prejudice In The Workplace
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Gender discrimination in the workplace is an industry ill that has run rampant over the past couple of decades.

In some cases, women have demonstrated considerable more dedication to the job than men, who are often categorized as being lazy and ineffective. Indeed, there is room for both genders within the workplace, but it is establishing an element of respect, as well as a recognition of duty, toward one another that will ultimately eliminate gender prejudice in the workplace. The writer discusses how experts are working hard to organize industrywide cooperation in fighting the undercurrent of workplace gender prejudice in the next two decades.
