Sex Discrimination
.... only
concentrate on the problem of sex discrimination in the U.K.
Sex discrimination means that a person gets treated in a less favorable
manner because of their sex. A good example of this is to take two fictional
characters, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The Jones's want to go swimming, they get
to the swimming baths where they find that Mrs. Jones is charged an O.A.P.
price while Mr. Jones has to pay the full price even though they are both the
same age. This is because woman become pensioners at the age of si .....

Woman's Struggle For Independence
.... there opinion and were still viewed as property. If they
disobeyed there male role model they were punished. The art of the Renaissance
gave women some freedom to voice there opinion about the arts and social issues
as long as there opinions weren't very radical. However women were only the
objects in the arts. They were the models and not the creators. They were not
allowed to express themselves but only to be expressed by others. This lead into
the period of the Reformation, women were still viewed .....

Women's Suffrage
.... in the abolitionist movement, women had
learned to organize, to hold public meetings, and conduct petition campaigns.
As abolitionists, women first won the right to speak in public, and they began
to evolve a philosophy of their own place in society. When the 15th amendment,
which gave black men the power to vote, was passed women became furious. Julia
Ward Howe said “For the first time, we saw... every Negro man govern every white
woman. This seemed to me intollerable tyranny.”
After the fifteenth am .....

Women In Africa

wanted? Did women attain their goals, and if not, why not? If women were not
successful in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some of these cases, women were relatively
successful in organizing and mobilizing. The story of the Aba Riots, which is
discussed in both The Warrant Chiefs and African Women, proves this p .....

Women In Combat
.... as the men they
served with.
In the Persian Gulf, there were no exact positions and all areas were
equally vulnerable, so the idea of safe havens for women was not really
applicable. By many armed forces policies, females are banned from combat jobs
and units, but in the Persian Gulf War females were assigned to battleships,
aircraft carriers, and marine support groups dug into the desert. From their
experience in the Persian Gulf, military women have earned the right to be
treated as equals with .....

Women As News Anchors
.... and discouraging aspects I have heard about in classes and
in the media. I am not sure that I could be happy in a career such as this, and
I know there are great difficulties in "making it" in this profession. I have
read about the incredible ambition of successful females in television news, and
it seems like it takes a special kind of passion to want to keep up in the
business.
I kept my questions in mind when gathering research material. While
focusing on the key questions, I was able to find i .....

facilities which also provides the females with legislation that provides them
with excellent benefits. In Japan there is a drop in female economic activity,
the reason why is it affects their marriage and the care of their only child.
An observation of labour force participation rates in Canada show that
female rates rose a lot between 1971 and 1981, while the male rate rose
unnoticeably. The increase in the female participation rate was found in all
age groups except in old .....

Communism East Europe
.... is seen as equal and wealth is distributed equally among the
people. There is no private ownership. The state owns and controls all
enterprises and property. The state is run by one leading elite. The
Soviet model of communism was based on these ideals. All opposition
parties were banned although parties who were sympathetic to communism
and who shared the communist ideals were allowed. All power was
concentrated into the hands of the Communist party. Free press and civil
liberties were suppressed .....

Women On The Street

recognize the questions. We cannot afford to keep walking by.
"Work is a fundamental condition of human existence," said Karl Marx. In
punch-the-clock and briefcase societies no less than in agricultural or hunting
and gathering societies, it is the organization of work that makes life in
communities possible. Individual life as well as social life is closely tied to
work. In wage labored societies, and perhaps in every other as well, much of an

Working Mothers

contributing to the world they live in. These women receive a renewed interest
in life because they are in the thick of it. They are living life to the
fullest. This model is the one that is constantly referred to as “bad” because
it paints the woman as someone who does not really care about the effect of
working will have on the baby. In fact, most of these mothers have made this
choice with painstaking care. They are constantly feeling what everyone is
thinking, and .....

"Please Let Us Skate"
.... All we ask for is a decent place to skate where we
wouldn't have our rights denied.
I have been skating for two and a half years now. Until recently, I have
started to skate with a couple of my friends whenever we have the time to. There
has never been a time where we haven't been stopped and kicked out. This has
been very irritating for us and we still don't understand why we're not welcomed
at any parks, other than the answer we always get, "You might hurt someone".
Personally, I think the o .....

European Studies
.... The aims of this policy were to increase agricultural
productivity, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural
community, to stabilise markets and to ensure reasonable prices for the
consumer. (3) This is unusual in the context of the Treaty of Rome which
provided for free trade and movement of resources. Agriculture was ill-
adapted for this approach. Protection was given, not only by customs
duties, but also by a variety of agricultural policies. This essay will
discuss the merits and .....

pharynx and larynx of the chimpanzee are not suited for human speech. Since
chimpanzees are far superior to humans in manual dexterity, the Garners decided
to try to teach chimpanzees American Sign Language or Ameslan. The Gardners and
others studied these chimpanzees, Washoe, Lucy, and Lana. These three
chimpanzees learned to use and could display a working vocabulary of 100 to 200
words. They also distinguished between different grammatical patterns and
syntaxes (Sagan 615). Besides .....

Facism
.... The two most recognized
names that go along with Fascism is Italy's Benito Mussolini and Germany's
Adolf Hitler.
The philosophy of Fascism can be traced to the philosophers who
argue that the will is prior to and superior to the intellect or reason.
George Sorel, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Georg Hegal are main philosophers
who's beliefs and ideologies greatly influenced the shaping of Fascist
theory. Sorel (1847-1922) was a French social philosopher who had a major
influence on Mussolini. Sorel believe .....

The last group and by far the least important, are those who would do
Anything with Anyone that you won't do. These women aren't usually very
attractive. They are more often than not, quite heavy. They are NOT desirable.
These are the women, who after you've been drinking heavily all night, at 2:00
A.M. still don't look good. You can see them lined up at the exit to every bar,
looking quite sad, lonely and pathetic at closing time, hoping and praying to
get lucky. .....
