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. ...

Such publicity creates inaccurate perceptions of the nursing profession and its practitioners amongst the general public.
The articles in the website highlight numerous incidences whereby the character of nurses is ridiculed and greatly misrepresented by the media. In some commercials and videos, nurses are depicted as sexual objects dressed in ...

The three key points from Cooper’s reading are linked to the implications of modernization on public administration. The first concept is the political nature of public administration which asserts that politics should be put aside from public administration to ensure proper service delivery on public goods and to enhance the performance efficiency. Secondly, it points out on separation of public administration and citizen’s roles. This indicates that there should be a division between the roles played by the public administrators and the citizens. This is due to the fact that these dual roles can result to conflicting situations ...

In this article, the argument employed about adolescence is constructive. According to (Schlegel, 15) adolescent is defined as a response to the reproductive capacity growth in a social context. During this stage, additional training and nurturing is very important prior to the person taking full responsibility of the roles of an adult both socially and occupationally. I like the argument that during this stage, an individual can accommodate training, but they cannot withstand the complex economic systems (Schlegel, 15). This article clearly illustrates the actual reasons behind the age groupings socially and the differentiation of roles in these groups. In addition, ...

In this article Devor talks about gender identity and the differences between men and women. He believes that gender identity is not all about physical attributes. Gender identity is a lifelong process, and at some point, people and especially children should be able to define or state their ...

Identity is constructed in and through others. It is closely related to gender which is the social ideological construction of the meaning of the biological sex attributes of an individual. At birth and subsequently however, a baby is subjected to differential treatment by the society in which it is born, depending on the sex. For, to each sex, society gives as a cause, a different meaning and reacts accordingly. As a result, gender imbalances between males and females are nurtured, invariably and mostly to the disadvantage of the females, resulting in diverse gender inequalities throughout the life experiences of an individual. As such, ...

In terms of the presentation of this piece of work and the way it was written, I would ensure that APA guidelines on formatting and citations are followed – which would avoid the error of single spacing and the positioning of the header (which is simply missing from this piece). I would add a ‘Works Cited’ page as well, following APA guidelines. The use of colloquial language should be avoided, and this is similar to the informal use of the second person – you. In one sense, this writer needs to be more precise in his/her use of the conventions of writing ...

Despite the fact that clear guidelines on authorship of scientific papers have been published by the International Committee of Journal Editors, short term contract research workers are still disadvantaged in terms of career progression, rewards, and recognition. This happens even though these short-term contract workers are the ones that do most of the researches reported in the biomedical literature. This importance of short term researchers has led to the establishment of mechanisms that seek to improve their plight and solve their issues.

Political cartoons are a common way for many artists to make a social commentary without sparking a national debate.

Question 1
According to Joan Scott, gender is defined as “a constitutive element of social relationships based on perceived differences between the sexes and a primary way of signifying relationships of power.” On the other hand, Goffman claims that, “If gender be defined as the culturally established correlates of sex (whether in consequence of biology or learning), then gender display refers to conventionalized portrayals of these correlates. “In Scott context, biology is excluded the explanation of gender and the perception of individuals put into consideration. One is perceived a woman when she tends to behave and speak in an ...

Coproduction involves engaging the citizens of a country in service production through allocating them passive roles that utilize technology in service delivery. The government does this by providing information through call centers like 311. Such information is useful in alerting the public of services which they may receive from the government and how important their participation is. Citizen participation in service delivery is important since it ensures that they understand how the government functions. This way, citizens, will not just complain about service delivery as they see the process clearly. Instead, they can contribute to the kind of service delivery ...

According to Clifford, how is tribal art displayed in the Hall of Pacific Peoples at the American Museum of Natural History?
Clifford is very enthusiastic about the manner in which exhibits are displayed at this museum. He has positive words to say about the installation since it brings out the original and highly intriguing characteristics from a world which is sadly no more. Largely the work of the indefatigable Margaret Meat who died in 1978, the installation reveals a large number of exhibits which have been saved from what Clifford aptly describes as a ‘destructive history’. The artefacts vary from medical ...

Gender roles were defined on the basis of man and woman, masculinity/feminist. This interpolates the idea that the woman was not viewed as an object of male desire but rather a companion of his (an imperfect image yielding the binary form of subject). Now in this present age, are we trying to delineate the concept of man/woman differences, the binary nature of their roles into sexual (affiliated to the sexual organs) beings in discussion and totally block out the trans-sexual forms existing between the two? Exactly! We have basically narrowed ourselves into sexual boundaries and abandoned the cultural and social ...

The principal argument that Parker makes in regards to setting the academic bar higher, encouraging the students, and their subsequently succeeding is analogous to the famous line from the classic ...

In “A Rainbow of Differences”, Erica Goode illustrated how homosexuality affects children. For decades, the subject was politely (Goode 2000, p.2), if not politically, noted as nonexistent. That, indeed, “no important distinction could be found” between a child of gay parents and the child of an archetypal home (Goode p.1). The definite opinion is that there is a difference. Homosexual parents have children who face questions in themselves, threats from peers, and discomfort toward the irregularities of judgment. What arises are a particular generation of children who gain confidence and freedom in identifying their own roles, attitudes and opinions, toward a community who ...

ABSTRACT

Gender is not genetically or biologically inherited and there is therefore no ‘natural’ division in gender relation between men who will always be dominant while women are confined to the domestic sphere. Gender relations have been socially and politically constructed over time, and among present-day sociologists are generally considered a social institution. As an institution, it is also related to other institutions such as the family, the economy and the state, as well as to race, region and social class. It is not a fixed and unchanging institution, however, just as masculinity and femininity are not monolithic, but one that has ...
