The Woman Warrior, Memoirs of a girlhood among ghosts, combines myths with autobiography in order to explore Kingston’s identify formation in relation to her mother and female relatives. Kingston uses the first person to narrate five distinct short stories. Each of them contains a central female character. The unique feature of this book is the rearrangement of the traditional Chinese myths, legend of Fa Mu Lan and Ts’ai Yen. The combination of fact and fiction and the combination of reality and fantasy closely intertwine in the stories. Critical use of Chinese myths in the Woman Warrior shows a sharp contrast with Kingston’s real life in America and accentuates the equality between women and men.…
The Puritans’ beliefs in the 17th century were different than most of the citizens that live in this modern day society. The Puritan beliefs are based on the of the Church of England, but they purified the religion.

Serving alcohol to underage students is illegal. Although in the incident of Ms. Mitchell’s restaurant the waitress that sold the underage girl alcohol did not do anything illegal. All the staff at Ms. Mitchell’s restaurant has been thoroughly trained when it comes to serving alcohol. All the servers were certified by the ABCC, and take an alcohol service training program each year. One night one of the waitress had a group of younger looking students so she checked the ID’s of the students drinking. She not only checked the ID’s but she checked them thoroughly. She verified the student’s age, hair color, general likeness, and absence of alterations to the ID card. On top of these verifications the waitress asked all the students to recite their birth dates, and addresses printed on the ID’s. After all the checks that the waitress had performed she served the guests each three glasses of wine in 90 minutes.…
The topic of equality is not something that is new to me, but as of recently has opened my eyes to new perspectives and ideas on the subject. Through women and gender studies, I have discovered that I am a post-feminist with sincere fictions about some of the people around me. Although I consider myself open, accepting and curious of other cultures, women and gender studies has allowed me the opportunity to explore a couple of topics through campus discussions to apply my newfound knowledge. I was able to attend a scholarly discussion based on overcoming set identities, binary understanding of religions through the need of belonging to a community and bridging gender gaps in outdoor leadership. The ladder is interesting to me since I am a minority in my field of outdoor leadership and education. Women studies will enable me to better address gender issues and insecurities in the field. While there have been advancements in equality for people based on gender, class, race, ethnic and social backgrounds, we still have farther to go before we can truly reach equality.…
I believe that Lorenzo’s confrontation with Continental’s unions could have been conducted a different way. They could simply listen to each other’s viewpoint and not interrupt with one another is speaking. This way each other can hear their viewpoint and maybe understand one another better. If Lorenzo would have listened to what his employees were trying to say, he may have gotten ideas from them and used them for his company.…

Gender Roles: A Cultural Phenomenon Gender roles have been in the spotlight lately throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries, but gender role issues have been a prominent problem for countless years in many different societies around the world. One work of art that highlights gender roles is the film Orlando (1992), which was directed by Sally Potter and adapted from Virginia Woolf’s novel, Orlando. Woolf’s Orlando was published in 1928 and tells a tale where the plot spans over 300 years to show case gender bending throughout history. While critics claim that Orlando remains the same person when he changes into a woman, he in fact develops a whole new personality and different way of seeing the world when he is female through the use of parallelism seen from Orlando living as a male versus living the life of a female.…

The theory of social construction of gender is embedded views from society on gender roles, responsibility and our rights. Everyday activities are assumed that a certain gender is expected to do something rather than both genders taking on activities and keeping both genders equal. Men are assumed to go to work and women are expected to stay home and take care of the house and care for the children. It is not a norm for society to have the roles reversed. When a child is born the sex is determined by their anatomical characteristics. However, it is assumed that the role of the male or female is to be their assigned gender. Gender is the socially assigned behaviors and norms for a specific gender. We as a society…
The basic unit of society is a woman. As woman makes a family, family makes a home and homes make a society. So we should never think that a society would come into existence without the contribution of women. We all know that without education, no development is possible. Here we have forgotten that the very first and best school of a child is its mother’s lap. A good healthy society doesn’t automatically emerge on its own and stands firm but it needs to be emerged and for its emergence women play a pivotal role. From behavioral to health education women have their hands in. it’s a woman who teaches how to behave, how to speak and how to deal with different classes of people. These all are the basic fundamentals of a good society and women are the main contributors in building up a strong society.…
