- 10081: Woman In The 19th Century
- In her essay Woman in the Nineteenth Century, Margaret Fuller discusses the state of marriage in America during the 1800‘s.

- 10083: Gender Socialization
- ... a boy. Mothers and fathers make it easy for everyone to distinguish their bundle of joy by utilizing the socially established gender stereotypes. But where and how did these stereotypes come from? Unfortunately, I don't think there is a definite answer to that question. We seem to accept that blue is for boys and pink is for girls. Boys generally play with balls, toy trucks and building blocks whereas girls spend their time with dolls, tea sets and stuffed animals. But these are the stereotypes that are influenced by the parents. A baby child isn't concerned with his or her gender identity. As the child gets older though, he or she will begin to develop an identity for his or herself and establish a personality th at reflects their masculinity or femininity. In Nancy Chodorow's essay "Family Structure and Feminine Personality" she examines the development of gender identity and personality. Except for the stereotypical examples I have given above which again are e stablished by the parents, Chodorow states ...

- 10085: Dyslexia
- ... ten kids in the United States of America is dyslexia. Although to some people this disorder may be very noticeable, it can really sneak up on you.

Definition of dyslexia" Dyslexia develops during the first six months of gestation . Neurons are churned out in the brain's ventricular zone. Attached to fibers, the neurons travel to the cerebral cortex, which contains the language centers. Here they hit a barrier, stop and take their place in layers above previously deposited neurons, (which is normal). In the brains of dyslexics, how-ever, there are breaches in the barrier and the neurons enter them, leaving clumps of nerve cells called ectopias, which appear to interface with the brain's ability to receive and transmit certain messages. They are now finding that dyslexia can run in the family. If you or your other relatives have dyslexia that means that there is a chance that ...

- 10087: The Ideal American: Malcolm Little
- ... attention of the world but almost all of the attention it receives is negative. A gas guzzling, beer drinking, loud, and highly violent culture are some of the more common attributes dumped on America. It's the mass murders, militia standoffs, and government scandals that make the foreign press headlines. Asia feels were lazy and bloated with sucess. France thinks were un- cultured, and most of the third world views us ... power. But not much changes in the way America is involved with the affairs of the rest of the world. We are despised but accepted. The rest of the world has no choice, they can't deny us because we are key to their survival and they know it.

We have to admit that some steps have been made to protect homosexuals. However, many government and public institutions and individuals still discriminate against homosexuals denying them employment, housing, insurance, marriage, child’s custody and so on.

Some homophobics qualify homosexual behavior akin to lying and stealing and, therefore, support the idea ...
- 10089: Media and the Military
- Media and the Military During the Vietnam War the media was left unchecked and brought the wartime images of death and carnage into America's living room. These images served as morale killers and eventually turned much of the public against its own government. During the Gulf War on the other hand, the military filtered what reached the public's eye and morale was kept to all time highs.
