¶ … Women's College
For the past one hundred years, women's colleges have been helping young women achieve their intellectual ambitions. Indeed, graduates such Madeleine Albright, Emily Dickinson and Hilary Rodman Clinton have gone on to pursue distinguished careers in their chosen fields. Many of the seeds of their various achievements have been sown in the various women's institutions of their youth.
For me, going to Name College is taking part in this long tradition of achievement. One reason women's institutions endure is because they offer a good, quality education. In addition to its excellent programs, I believe that the smaller class sizes create an environment that is more conducive to learning. Students can participate more fully in lectures and develop stronger relationships with their professors and peers.
These smaller class sizes only serve to complement the outstanding education young women receive at schools like Name College. Though most traditional colleges no longer restrict the admission of women, I believe that institutions like Name College are still in a unique position to address the educational needs of many young women.
Studies have shown that a single-sex learning environment is often beneficial to women because such an environment "values their contributions...
I went to high school and two years of college at coeducational institutions and have observed how many young men easily take charge of discussions. The teachers themselves unwittingly treat their students differently, often treating women's comments more casually while being more challenging to male students.
To make matters worse, many women often unintentionally place limits on their own participation.
Many women in my classes hardly ever spoke and were reluctant to make their voices heard. However, this was obviously not the case with women like Geraldine Ferraro and Brigadier General Elizabeth P. Holsington, who both obviously benefited from being in an environment that encouraged and valued women's contributions.
A plan to major in Biology, a field of study which, like most of the physical sciences, still remains the enclave of men. I am particularly interested in studies that have shown how women can receive better science and math education in single-sex colleges. Researchers have found that women in coeducational schools generally take less math and science to begin with, because of a "cultural climate" that discourages many women from taking such subjects.

While war is often a major factor in changing the nature of property ownership, much as major depressions, such as that of 1920 to 1940, another factor can be large increases in competition, such as that in industrial production that has risen in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan since the Vietnam War (Capitalism pp). All such developments "put stresses on the ability of individuals to finance and mange their operations (Capitalism
Women Are More Faithful Than Men The libraries and bookstores are overloaded with published books about love and relationships, and television programs deal with those topics on a daily basis. One of the most frequently addressed topics in these books and programs is infidelity. And while digging into the subject, as this paper does, it is apparent that when it comes to infidelity and cheating, men do it more than women. This
The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of Illinois and argued that the Fourteenth Amendment was designed to protect against race discrimination only…" Gibson, 2007, Background to Muller v. Oregon section ¶ 1). The Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment did not include the protection of women's rights. The following depicts Justice Bradley's concurring opinion regarding Bradwell's Man is, or should be, woman's protector and defender. The natural and proper
Psychosocial factors, such as depression, anxiety and social support, also induce drinking. This study confirmed that social cognitive factors drove college students to report on their own drinking. Psychosocial motives drove them to do so only at 1%. Social support was the only significant psychosocial predictor. The awareness of both the positive and negative consequences of drinking was quite likely behind the willingness of college students to report on

From a strictly percentage perspective, it would seem that Asian-Americans do not represent much of a threat at all to mainstream American society, but these mere numbers do not tell the whole story of course. For one thing, Asian-Americans are one of the most diverse and
North American Women Continue to be the Primary Targets and Consumers of Cosmetic Surgery? In a world in which we are judged by how we appear, the belief that we can change our appearance through cosmetic surgery is liberating to a lot of women. The growing popularity of cosmetic surgery is a testament to society's overrated fixation with appearance. For women living in North America, their appearance is in fact
