Gender Research Proposals Samples For Students

Over the years, gender inequality issues within the society have led to women empowerment and successive fight for gender equality. Despite consistent women activist groups and international agreements, women have remained poor and illiterate in the society. According to research, women have limited access to resources and services such as medical care, employment, property ownership, training, and credit. As a result, women have become more susceptible to domestic violence, and poor living conditions as compared to men. There have been various women’s empowerment organizations around the globe that have been founded with the aim of addressing women needs and ...

Introduction

Consistent behavioural gender differences have been revealed in the area of food choices. An individual’s choice of food depends on a variety of factors and has consequential effects towards the behaviour of human beings that result into choice of some specific food products. The following research focuses on the gender differences in diet concentrating more on significant impacts eating behaviours have on individuals based on the gender. People of all genders aim at maintaining good body shapes and good health in the contemporary society. The research will investigate different eating habits demonstrated by different genders and their effect on ...

Swearing holds a unique place in society that is rife with contradictions. It can elevate one’s image as bold and assertive, and simultaneously diminish another’s image as uncouth and aggressive. It is perceived as unacceptable language in the classroom, yet essential on the sea deck. There is an innate hierarchy in swear words or phrases, which is constantly shifting. Societal change largely dictates acceptance or rejection of obscenities. Some words or phrases become acceptable within common vernacular and others mutate into objectionable vitriol. Words that were heard only in watering holes are now common on primetime television. In ...

Women in Media

The media is arguably the most powerful and pervasive influence on society’s perception of men and women. The media has a constant presence in the modern society through advertisements, news and programs that have become part of our daily lives. Media messages are ingrained in our consciousness where they influence our perception of many issues including gender roles and expectations. This paper postulates that the media is responsible for propagating unrealistic stereotypes about women. While men are also affected by these stereotypes, it is women who are underrepresented, overly sexualized and portrayed in traditional gender roles that are not ...

CMN 598
Introduction
In December 2010, Arab revolution was accidentally started by Mohamed Bouazizi. Bouazizi worked as fruits and vegetables seller in his town, illegally. One day, a police officer stopped him and confiscated his cart as a weekly usual; this was not a big deal for him. Mohamed tried hard to get his cart back, and he managed to do it. Several minutes later, the same police officer returned, angry and full of hatred, slapped Mohamed and asked other policemen to kick him- for no reason. Bouazizi was furious. He could not control his anger, not because of the ...

Since the advent of the 21st century, the American man has been depicted to being in a very sorry state. This worrisome trend goes against the aspect of hegemonic masculinity that largely characterised the previous centuries. Since time immemorial, the gender practice in America and almost all other parts of the world guaranteed the man a dominant social position, while the women could only assume the subordinate social position. However, the situation has changed with time and the 21st woman has been observed to go beyond her territory to the point of domineering over the male gender. Largely unnoticed is the ...

Emphasis will be given on ...

Is the word man, restricted just to the representation of the male gender and woman to the female gender or is there any evidence of differentiation between the two major human species? Primarily there are mixed notions about the use of the word sex and gender to distinguish men and women. Sex is the genetic demarcation of male and female whereas gender is a range of anatomical, psychological and behavioral characteristics distinctive between masculinity and femininity. Today, however, as males and females, we expect things, of each other which our ancestors would never have expected (Lofas, MacMillan, 1995).

Men symbolize masculinity and women, femininity.

Because masculinity ...

Gender discrimination is the maltreatment of an individual based on their sex. This form of discrimination most commonly affects women. It also may affect homosexual and transgendered men. Whereas women represent approximately fifty percent of the global population, they are woefully underrepresented in a variety of fields including leadership roles. Gender discrimination takes the form of unequal pay for equal work, unwanted sexual advances, demands for sexual favors in exchange for workplace advancement, discrimination during pregnancy, and general unfavorable views towards women based on their roles as mothers.
Gender discrimination exists in even the most advanced, enlightened, and egalitarian ...

INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

Introduction

How does the factor of gender impact the concept of violent offending?
One of the most commonly held notions is that males have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes compared to women. This holding is one of the most widely held concepts in the area of criminology. However, there is a growing debate as to the scope of the “gender gap” in terms of violent offending has shifted in recent years. A number of commentators hold that the gap is described in terms of its stability; others proffer that there is an observable closing of the gap, particularly ...

Gender inequality has over the years been a great barrier towards the development of the society. The female gender, women, and girls, have always fought for the equality of their gender with no success. However, gender equality has contributed to a great percentage of the many disadvantages that most women and girls experience. Gender inequality issue, therefore, refers to an unfair treatment of individuals basing their arguments solely on their gender orientation. Gender inequality is an issue that stems out from either distinction which can either be empirically grounded or at times socially constructed. The purpose of this paper ...

1. Purpose
Gender differences should not affect treatment in the workplace but unfortunately, I as well as countless numbers of women have experienced this trauma. There are many instances and forms that gender inequality exposes and some refer to the unequal values assigned to men and women when formulating laws and policies in the society as well as in the workplace. The workplaces in Saudi Arabia are filled with these unequal gender practices that impose the artificial glass ceiling in Saudi Arabia and other countries which hinder the progress of women in the workplace. The research in this paper ...

Abstract

Biasness is the extent to which individual indulges in the stereotypical behavior based on the differences that account for various ethnic differences, cultural differences and gender differences. Children in this instance are also found to be indulging in the biasness regardless of their personal adherence and their act of biasness is found to be driven by their surroundings. The act of biasness in children is found to be driven by their familial responses in which the parents, guardians and elders of the children ascend their biased behavior in children as part of their early upbringing and thus, children develop ...

Research Purpose

It has to be reckoned that there has been an ongoing debate that essentially focuses on the position of the two genders in workplace. The fact that the society is governed by the patriarchal parameters and practices goes on to complicate the matter. Often it has been opined that women are on the receiving end of the gender bias and they face discrimination in many spheres of life. One can very well be reminiscent of the struggle of the women of the world society for gaining right to suffrage- something that testifies to the discriminatory standards of the society ...

Women have been the subject of discrimination and inequality in the past. And despite the societal progress and development, as well as the emergence of legislations that protect their rights, women remain to experience inequality in one way or another. One of the inequality that is still prevalent today, even in progressive countries is the gender wage gap. The gender wage gap is defined as the average difference of the hourly earnings between men and women (European, 2) A study conducted at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research revealed that women were paid lower than men in a ...

Introduction

The issue of gender of the criminal offenders has been subjected to various researches. The highlight on gender scrutinizes how female offenders are treated against the male offenders when they committed murder, one of the most serious crimes across societies. Generally, most studies observe that female offenders are sentenced to lesser punishments than the male offenders. According to Hedderman and Dowds (1997, p. 8), women receive less harsh treatment that the male offenders. However, some studies contradict these gender generalizations. For instance, Kennedy (2005, p. 21), affirmed that when women commit a serious offense such as murder, which are ...

Gender is an incredibly broad topic, and one that is growing in popularity in terms of discussion. How someone identifies with regards to their gender certainly changes everything, from the way their view the world to how other people in the world view them as a person.

Many schools are guilty of perpetrating gender stereotypes. As Amanda Chapman states, “Sitting in the same classroom, reading the same textbook, listening to the same teacher, boys and girls receive very different educations” (Chapman). For example, some schools offer football only to boys and hockey only to girls. This type of separation creates ...

Introduction and Theoretical Framework

Abortion can surely be taken to be a physical as well as mental strain for the females. It needs to be reckoned that abortion and the factors influencing it are highly influenced by the issues related to gender inequality and patriarchy. Ideally the females should have the utmost liberty and decision-making power in matters relating to child-birth as well as abortion. But, in practice, the scenario is quite different with the predominance of males coming into play in such a major decision of life.

Statement of the Problem

While there can be debates about ethical nature of the matter, the facet of gender ...

My final project is going to focus on the representation of female masculinity in popular media and especially as seen in Orange is the New Black (OINB). The representation of gay women on television started back in the 1980s in the medical series called Heartbeat. It took so long a time until the 21st century for society to accept their existence. Television plays a very critical role as mainstream media, and many people find themselves glued to it. In order for society to appreciate gender diversity that has strayed from mainstream traditional gender relations, it is important to look ...

HIV and AIDS research has come a long way since the world first began to recognize HIV and AIDS as a problem in the 1980s.

Introduction

Society dictates that people, in general, should always look good where the definition of looking good means an individual is skinny, slim, or someone who maintains a healthy weight. This thinking has influenced the youths of today to adapt the same philosophy and opinions that they apply to themselves as well as to others when it comes to defining beauty, confidence, body image, body satisfaction, and self-esteem, among others. Tiggemann and Pickering (1996) assert that mass media contribute to the formation of opinions about what an ideal woman looks like, thus, affecting how the younger generation view the subject as ...

Thesis Statement
Facing the challenges imposed by the Islamic tradition and the social changes generated by the modern society, Turkish families are in a phase of transition, in which the women’s role becomes more pregnant. Although there are encountered various difficulties in finding work and the employment in Turkey is still far from being equal between men and women, the recent trends and the changes in the social structure indicate that women tend to emancipate, jumping from their traditional role linked to the household, outside this universe, by finding jobs and becoming financially independent.

Racism has been dismissed as a vice of the past by many leaders; indeed some of them argue that the end of apartheid in South Africa marked the end of racism in this era of civilization. However, to any one who lives in a racially diverse community such as America, racism is not yet a vice of the past- it is still existent. It may not be well pronounced like was seen in South Africa or even during the Jewish Holocaust but it is still existent in our various social structures. In America, racial connotations such as the words ‘nigga’ and ‘ ...

Multivariate Analysis

Guillaume, Knippenberg, and Brodbeck (2014) theorize that social classes or groups are an important starting point to determine the effects of societal diversity on individuals’ attitudes and behavior. People with similar backgrounds whether social, economic, or cultural are more comfortable and more likely to perform better both psychologically and behaviorally (Guillaume et al., 2014). Besharov (2014) states organizational identification occurs when members place a high value on organizational membership and define themselves accordingly. Additionally, creativity, helping behaviors, job satisfaction, and social support are other actions, which contribute to defining classes or groups (Besharov, 2014).
Organization identification benefits are fleeting ...

Literature Review

In some instances, the performance of the entire group is dependent on the effort that the weakest member of the group gives. For instance, the slowest member in a production line determines the speed at which the production line operates. In a coordination game where players simultaneously carry out a certain action, the playoff of the players is dependent on the effort of the said player and the smallest effort level of any of the players in the group. Coordination games are important to microeconomists. The belief is that economic growth can be impeded by low output equilibrium. Problems in coordination can ...

effect of stereotypes in society?
Stereotyping from a sociological perspective is a social construction derived from a thought pertaining to a group of individuals with specific social characteristics, which can be linked to certain behavior types (Cox, Abramson, Devine & Hollon, 2012). Often there is no or very little accuracy linking the perceptions people or individuals may obtain regarding others for whom the stereotyping is alluded. When stereotyping is viewed from a psychological premise scientists argue that it emerges from prejudice and discrimination, basically. Therefore, in reality if stereotyping were to be associated with one’s social conditions there may be insufficient evidence for ...
