This paper will examine the title characters of the beloved and revered children’s books Eloise, the Madeline series and Angelina Ballerina. This paper will explore the positive values that these female characters embody and how many of these positive traits are connected to the fact that they are a rejection of the traditional feminine archetypes. Neither Eloise nor Madeline nor Angelina are meek or submissive, and it is quietly likely that their boldness is in part why these books have become such classics for so long. The book Eloise by Kay Thompson and illustrated by artist Hilary Knight was published in 1955 and has become a classic ever since. Much of the book’s more modern treatment of gender and gender roles is responsible for its popularity and its enduring quality. The main character is Eloise, who is a six-year-old girl who lives in the Plaza hotel. She has gone done in….

Asian Americans comprise an extremely diverse population, representing dozens of different cultures and linguistic groups as well as every level of the socioeconomic ladder, making it impossible to generalize about sociological issues like gender roles. Arab Americans likewise come from varying socioeconomic class, national, and religious backgrounds. Therefore, all analyses of gender roles and perceptions towards sexual orientation need to be cautious and respectful of inter-group diversity. Asian Americans include persons from South Asian, Southeast Asian, and East Asian descent. Some may be newly arrived immigrants whose gender roles and views towards sexual orientation will most closely resemble those of the home country, whereas others will be second or third generation and hold roles and values more similar to those of mainstream American society. The same is true for Arab Americans: gender roles and attitudes toward sexual orientation will differ depending on degree of acculturation. Generally speaking, Asian Americans and….

What Culture Means Today Culture is the passing along of values, customs, and ways of behavior that are specific to groups of people. Different races and ethnicities have different cultures. Also, various religions and countries have different cultures. In this sense culture is simply the way that groups of people do things or practice them. People in India, for example, put a lot of spices on their food because it is part of their culture. There are many different important elements of culture. Some of these are the arts including music, visual, and graphic arts. Others involve things like food, clothing and shelter. People prepare their foods differently in different cultures. Similarly, they dress differently and have different types of houses. Culture is important in the study of male and female relationships because it impacts social expectations. A group’s culture greatly affects how males and females are to function in that….

Confucianism is one of the major factors that influenced gender views and perception in traditional East Asia, particularly in relation to the treatment of women in these societies. Confucianism is primarily a teaching that was brought by Confucius, a philosopher, political figure, and educator. The teachings of Confucius formed the foundation of education in the traditional societies in East Asia, especially in China, Korea, and Japan. Confucius teachings affected many things in these societies including fixing gender roles between women and men. Based on these teachings, which influenced nearly every facet of life in the conventional Korean, Japanese and Chinese societies, placed women at a disadvantaged position. The teachings contributed to the development of a patriarchal environment in these societies, which worked to the disadvantaged of women. This paper examines how women exerted power and influence in a patriarchal environment in these three societies and what it teaches us about….

female combat unit in world history. As the developer of the game Night Witches points out, everyone from the commanders to the pilots were women. With women in positions of leadership and front lines physical combat as well as ancillary support such as technicians and mechanics, the ussian 588 team has become a model for other female combat teams. Yet none have followed. In the United States, however, women were confined to roles deemed appropriate according to prevailing gender norms: roles that were assistive or supportive in nature rather than executive and proactive. The women in British units could and did serve in combat in World War Two. Yet in the United States, women continue to be barred from combat positions even today. Although women are not overtly prevented from serving in positions of power and leadership in the military, gender roles and norms do retain a hierarchal and….

Boy Snow Bird and aceThe novel \\\"Boy, Snow, Bird\\\" combines historical realism and interpretation with the use of fairy tales in a thought-provoking way. While seemingly different, these two forms coexist in the novel, with Oyeyemi using fairy tale elements to explore and comment on real-world social issues of the 1950s American context in which the novel is set (Oyeyemi, 2014).The presence of social problems, such as racism and sexism, creates both possibilities and problems for the novel and the reader. On the one hand, the novel\\\'s use of fairy tale elements can serve as a powerful tool for critiquing and subverting social norms and expectations. On the other hand, the presence of these social problems can also make the novel difficult to read, particularly for readers who have experienced similar forms of oppression in their own lives. I found the clash to be somewhat jarringbut maybe that was the….

Gender stereotyping is a pernicious and pervasive practice. The media reinforces already existing gender norms, thereby perpetuating structural inequalities and gender inequity. However, the media can also be instrumental in transforming gender norms by combatting stereotypes and depicting gender in unconventional ways. Gender stereotypes can confirm unconscious biases and beliefs about the role and status of men and women. Likewise, the portrayals of gender in the media reinforce behavioral norms. Research shows that “constant exposure to the same dated concepts in the media” can lead to adverse effects that can “last a lifetime,” (Knorr, 2017, p. 1). Therefore, it is critical to become active, engaged consumers of media and to increase media literacy throughout the society. Gender portrayals in the media will differ according to media type, such as news media versus advertisements, or children’s programming versus programming for adults. Similarly, gender stereotypes vary from culture to culture. Although gender stereotypes….

Domestic Prison
Gender oles and Marriage

The Domestic Prison: James Thurber's "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour"

James Thurber's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939) and "The Story of an Hour" (1894) by Kate Chopin depict marriage as a prison for both men and women from which the main characters fantasize about escaping. Louise Mallard is similar to the unnamed narrator in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" is that they are literally imprisoned in a domestic world from which there is no escape but death or insanity. As in all of this early feminist fiction, the women characters are defined as 'sick', either physically or mentally, for even imaging a situation on which they might be free, for they are allowed no lives of their own. Louise Mallard was overjoyed when she heard that her husband was killed in an accident, and began to….

Idealized Gender Roles of Men and Women in Edo and Kabuki
As with many other societies of the time, 18th and 19th century Japan had a strict division of duties and expectations for men and women. This paper examines these idealized gender roles through a close reading of Sanba's The Floating-World Bathhouse, Santo Kyoden's Grilled and Basted Edo-Born Playboy and Tsuuchi Jihei and Tsuuchi Hanemon's Flower of Edo.

Idealized Female

In the world of Kabuki and Edo plays, an ideal woman is a good wife or, barring marriage, a good mistress. To a lesser extent, they should also be good mothers.

The "good wife" role is illustrated clearly in the conversations between Saru and Tori in The Floating-World Bathhouse. In comparing their son's wives, Tori boasts of hr daughter-in-law, who "does everything, day and night." This ideal female is contrasted with Saru's nightmare of a daughter-in-law, who is lazy, who does not take care….

Male in Today's Society
From the time we are born, the main social message our society sends to males is that real men are stronger than women and do not show emotions. Sex, anger, and humor are the exceptions to this rule. As a result, many men feel intense pressure to be tough and strong. Men grow up believing that they must be unemotional, logical thinkers. As a result, many men have difficulty identifying, sharing, understanding, and working with their feelings and emotions.

Studies also show that boys and men are expected to express anger more than any other emotion (Tucker-Ladd, 2000). This is related to their high rate of criticizing, scapegoating, and attacking others. Unfortunately, they are also three times more likely to be hyperactive than girls and blame their problems on others. Males tend to avoid problems and distract themselves, while females talk out their problems. This actually sets….

ANOVA to the statistical assumptions of an ANOVA are as follows:
The principal assumptions of ANOVA are as follows:

There must be statistical independence of the errors, and no correlation between independent variables and error.

There must be normality of the error distribution.

Homogeneity of variances

The dependent variable is a belief that it is better for the man in a couple relationship to go to work and for the woman to stay home to care for the children and the house. The independent variables are: 1) The respondents' income; 2) the highest year of school completed; and 3) the tendency "to think of self as liberal or conservative."

Ho = A belief in the traditional gender roles in a marriage is unrelated to income, education level, or political self-identification as conservative or liberal.

Ha = A belief in the traditional gender roles in a marriage is related to income, education level, or political self-identification as….

Firstly, males tend to base their self-worth on what they have accomplished as individuals. This is an "independent self-concept." Females on the other hand, tend to judge themselves more in terms of an "interconnected self-concept," meaning that they assess themselves in terms of how they interact with other people. esearch has also demonstrated however that in countries like the United States, which are considered to be relatively individualistic, the independent self-concept prevails. However in countries in which community is valued higher than individualism, such as it is in numerous countries in Asia, South America and Africa, the interconnected self-concept is much more prominent. This demonstrates that socialization plays a major role in a person's concept of self because if these concepts were innate, then males and females in all cultures would view themselves by inherently devised standards as opposed to socially determined ones.
It is generally accepted that gender socialization….

Gender
Back in history, the only roles of a Korean woman were to be a good daughter, a good wife, and a good mother. She was expected to sacrifice for her family, caring not only for her husband but also for her in-laws. Similarly in America, as the picture published in 1950's "Harmony at Home" shows, only men were authoritative. In the picture, the man is the only one sitting comfortably on the sofa while two women standing on the side seem helpless. Both are leaning on the man. The question remains: is this condition still relevant today? In "Change in the Status of Women in South Korea," Anita Li states, "the employment rate for women has risen steadily from 42.8% in 1980 to 50% in 2008. Furthermore, these women are increasingly engaging in leadership roles in the workforce. Though the gender distinction still remains in our society, the trend is….

Gender Identity
The factors that mediate and account for gender identity and sex differentiation include those attributed to nature, such as hormones and genes, and those attributed to nurture, such as environment. esearch has demonstrated that hormones and genetics play an integral role in gender identity and associated behaviors (Wilson, 1999; Hines, 2006; Hines (2008). What are these hormones and how exactly have they been determined to influence gender identity? The following outlines scientific findings surrounding nature and its involvement in the development of gender identity.

Gender identity and human sexual behavior are involved in perceptions of oneself as male or female, gender role behaviors, and how sexuality is communicated to others (Wilson, 1999). How gender identity manifests and expresses itself is inherently different in men and women (Wilson, 1999). esearch has demonstrated that testosterone exposure during early periods of development that are considered critical result in permanent behavior change in areas….

Even strong women are feminized in the media and in advertising. Burton Nelson notes, "In a Sears commercial, Olympic basketball players apply lipstick, paint their toenails, rock babies, lounge in bed, and pose and dance in their underwear" (Nelson Burton 442). These are all very feminine characteristics, and women feel they must be feminine not only to fit in society but also to catch a man, and that is what the media tells women they should aspire to - catching a man. These messages begin very early, and children buy into them wholeheartedly. Children mimic the role models they see on television, and young women strive to be like the women they admire - thin, petite, beautiful, and often witless. The media celebrates all of these things by glorifying women like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan. These and many other young women are role models for many….
