Identity Article Reviews Samples For Students

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality. This theory states that the status of being female is not the only defining characteristic in oppression. As opposed to there being a unified experience of “female oppression” which defines all oppression experienced by women, oppression is defined by the interaction of gender with factors such as class, sexuality and culture (Carbado, 2013).

The movie Pariah displays a number of intersectional facets that interact to create identity. Gender and sexuality are the most obvious intersectional factors explored in the movie. However, Alike’ ...

Jennifer Conlin, writer of “The Freedom to Choose Your Pronouns,” explores gender fluidity in teenagers and college aged students. She asserts that this is just another way teenagers are trying to go against the grain, but she also pairs this with showing that this is not just an American trend. During an interview, she recalls an individual’s example of gender fluidity by saying, “Maybe one day you wake up and feel more like a boy.” While this does not quite define the complexities of gender expression, it is one example that is easy for the general public to understand. ...

The nature, causes, symptoms and diagnosis of psychological disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), are not clear and highly controversial. Two different models namely the Sociocognitive model and the Posttraumatic model are put forward explain psychopathologies, diagnosis, and disease etiology associated with DID.

The impact of colonialism can be seen in major processes like political structures of countries in North Africa. This is experienced through various forms such as political fragility and instability. The idea of forming the state came about when movements were formed for identification between people and ruling bodies. Democratic ideals have led to rifts dealing with identity. Lack of known common identity weakens bonds leading to disunity. This results to failure of structures used in solving domestic and foreign problems. Also, the right to self-determination between rulers and the ones being ruled in some situations is wanting. Due ...

Business Conflict

Business Conflict
Conflicts in business can stem from a trivial offence that often starts in a small way. Corporations tend to maintain conflicts in a workgroup. The management has to educate the employees on the associated risks of harassment and subtle attacks in conflicts. Employees need to consider on the expensive nature of resolving conflicts by defending a lawsuit and adopt quick resolution to address the conflict.

Anthropologists first used the word "tribes" to describe people groups they have studied through the years, all over the world. The term however proved to be insufficient, even politically incorrect as more knowledge of the discipline has been obtained, and accounting for the historical, political, cultural, and even inter-relational aspects of these people groups has become more and more complicated.
According to Béteille, tribes pertain more to people groups that are secluded, more or less self-sufficient, and homogenous socially. This definition was challenged when South Asian homogenous people groups were observed to be interactive with one another, ...

Many of the classic mistaken-identity comedies that entertain us owe their origins to plays like Much Ado About Nothing. One of my favorite episodes of the sitcome Frasier, for example, involves a trip to a ski lodge.

Niles is interested in Daphne; Daphne’s friend is interested in Guy; Frasier is interested in Daphne’s friend; Guy is interested in Niles.

The article Identity Ambiguity and Change in the Wake of a Corporate Spin-Off by Kevin G. Corley and Dennis A. Gioia is dedicated to the case study of organizational identity change.

The results of the research reveal previously unreported aspects of organizational change.

The analysis of the relationship between a state and a country is an essential component to understanding the nature of human security with respect to international relations. The evaluation also assists in contrasting views between state-centric and traditional mechanisms of national security. The traditional approach is a referent of the ability of a nation to protect itself from external threats. Therefore, interests involving sub-national groups and individuals are subordinate to those of the state. National interests help in affirming the “other” as a significant element of understanding the self and foreign aspects. David Campbell in his article Writing Security: ...

Two articles, A Necessary Evil: Framing an American Indian Legal Identity by Dwanna L. Robertson and Indian Identity by Nicholas C. Peroff address a very simple and yet almost endlessly complicated issue of modern Indian identity in the American society. Dwanna Robertson identifies three different types of Indian identity – ethnical, racial and formal. Nicholas Peroff has another tri-component classification system of Indianness (with a capital “I”), indianness (with a small “i”) and emerging third hybrid new indianness. Both authors provide arguments as to how they arrived at their classifications and what it means in real world and to real ...

While it appears to be an opinion article about media productions that generated specific trends about confused gender identity, sexuality or race, Wesley Morris’ New York Times article “The Year We Obsessed over Identity” raises complex social concerns and voices personal preconceptions. Morris criticizes the 21st century gender shift that saw the transformation of women in breadwinners, as portrayed in “The Intern” comedy, while also harshly rebuking the transgender phenomenon popularized across media, and the racial shedding that allows whites to turn into blacks.
The tone of the article is very condemnatory, as the author is blaming the social ...

The main research questions posed by the authors in the research paper are whether there is age difference in susceptibility to stereotypes, how positive and negative stereotyping affects academic performance in children and whether children become susceptible to stereotypes at some certain age.

The article ‘Gay men deserve three dimensional role models, not TV’s stereotypes’ (McMillan) highlights the role of media in depicting gays in the society. The author notes that how the media portrays gay men in the society affects the perception the general populace has towards them. Characterization of gay persons in television programs can lead to positive or negative stereotyping of their personality. McMillan notes that characterizing gays in a one dimensional way does not give a reflection of their true personality. The exposure of positive stereotypes affects the self-esteem of gay people (McMillan).

In this article, the Germany football team kicked up a controversy after some of its members refused to sing the country’s national anthem, The Song of Germans. The public, including football officials and former players thought that the team ought to sing to the anthem, despite the manager insisting that the players did identify with the team and their heritage was important.

The article by Njamabadi is an engagement on the state of women studies in the 21st Century. It takes an Islamic perspective as it carefully but strongly interrogates the challenges and hurdles faced by Muslim women as scholars as compared to their male counterparts. One of her concerns at the beginning of her article is the misconception she perceives to come from those who invite her to make a presentation at “The Politics of Interdisciplinary Location: Teaching and Learning Intersections” conference. It is clear from her arguments that her status as a Muslim woman makes it difficult for her to choose ...

There are, undoubtedly, aspects of the self that are tied inextricably to an individual’s culture. Because it is impossible to raise a child in a cultural vacuum, it is impossible to determine exactly what aspects of personality are determined by culture and which aspects are determined by birth; the relationship between culture and identity is certainly tightly bound. Markus and Kitayama, for instance, point out that people are capable of framing their sense of self in a multitude of different ways, but that their method of identity is invariably tied closely to their culture. Staples, on the other hand, suggests that ...

As of 2004, there are at least fourteen companies that provide Native American DNA tests, reflecting the growing trend of people using this method in order to validate their ancestry (Bolnick, Tallbear). In their article, the two scientists discuss several negative implications of these tests as well as their harmful effects on Native American tribes.
The one prevailing motivation for taking these tests seems to be their supposed power to validate people’s ethnic identity and ...

One of the dominant concepts in the field of psychology is how humans grow and develop throughout the course of their lifetime. Many theories have been put forward in order to explain the various stages that a human being experiences while growing up. One of the most popular among these theories is the one formulated by Erik Erikson, more commonly known as the psychosocial stages of human development as opposed to Freud’s psychosexual ones (Boeree, 2009). According to Erikson, there are stages that occur within one’s lifetime, and one progresses from one stage to another as the ...

Philosophers do not contemplate about acting using a theatrical perspective. According to Judith Butler’s article “Performing Arts and Gender Constitution”, the scholars utilize a discourse that surrounds the “arts” that adopts associative semantic definition with the approaches of acting and performance. The arts are dictated by the phenomenology tradition that portrays the social agents of reality such as symbols, gestures, and language. Under the phenomenological tradition, gender also emerges as a factor that characterizes the arts. The identity constitutes of a stylized consistence in the arts. The sex is actualized through body stylization; therefore, it should be understood ...

On the one hand, gender is associated with the models, which are developed for the scientific description of the problems associated with gender issues. On the other hand, gender may be considered as a social phenomenon, which is created by people in ...

- Economic based criterion. It is related to “defining cinema in economic terms” (132) concerning dominating and expanding film products to the domestic and international market.
- Content based criterion. It is related to regarding the concept through its content (texts, characters, scripts, etc.)
- Consumption based criterion. It is related ...

There are four specific types of communication flows that McPhee and Zaug (2000,2009) have described. The authors believe that the four communication flows are in fact, what organizations are all about. This is because organizations cater to four different kinds of audiences, so communicating with all of these is necessary. The first communication flow is the maintenance of relationships with members through membership related negotiations. The second communication flow is self structuring, i.e. how organizations act as formally controlled entities. The third communication flow is activity coordination. The last communication flow is institutional positioning. (McPhee & Zaug, 2000)

Not only does this article present a view of the build-up that culminated in the fair’s presentations, but it also presents a contrast between the world’s fair and others that might be perceived as having similar aims.
One of the main points that the author discusses is the ...

Introduction

The US racial hierarchal system used to only demarcate the white/black color line. However, as more and more racially diverse populations migrate to the United States, the racial hierarchal system in the US adapts new ways to emphasize racial differences between whites and “others”. Guenther, Pendaz and Makene’s research about the intersections of identity of Eastern African immigrants and its impact on their racial status in the US present how racism in the United States continue to persist and grow to accommodate more and more ways to assert whites and degrade non-whites. Furthermore, the paper explores personal encounters ...

Monique Wittig asserts that lesbians are not women. The argument has not only excited academic and non-academic interest, but perhaps most importantly, it defies dominant cultural definitions and categorizations of sexuality and gender. This argument also threatens the established theoretical structure of political work that is founded upon women’s identity, including feminism. There is effectively no natural categorization of women, and thus equally no natural subject matter upon which feminism could be founded. Hale questions the possibility that women do not exist outside the conceptual context of the heterosexual political regimes. Instead, Hale develops an alternative construction of ...

Discrimination can no longer be eliminated in all the systems in the world because some needs it and some wants it to be done. Since the ancient years, it is possible that there is already billions of both resolved and unresolved cases of discrimination that have been filed in different courts, not counting yet the discriminations that has happened but not spoken of.
It is the form of isolation and treatment to any group of people most especially to those who are deviant to the society. Some of these groups fall under the categories of sex, religion, physical ...

Empirical self of each individual that is at all times referred as me (William Jones, 279). It is difficult to draw a clear line between what a man refers to as me and what he says its mine. Individuals act and feel about specific factors in life that belong to them as they feel and act about themselves (William Jones, 279). The work of each individual’s hands, their fame, their children are dear to them just like their bodies and bring about the same feelings in the event they are attacked. It is clear that the main factor being dealt ...

In the scientific method, the type of methodology and data-gathering needed depends on the type of data required, and ultimately, the problem presented. In every situation this varies, and there is the best methodology for every type of problem in scientific experimentations.

The author explains the confusion that the boy faces in different social settings and as a participant observer; she relates the Boy’s parent’s assimilation process in regards to their son transgender identity (Rosin, par.7).
