Women were expected to serve the men in the house, either husband or father. Gender-expectations such as purity, piety, submissiveness, and domesticity became only tasks for women to maintain and fulfill in their lives. While tasks for being born as a woman were already set by society, the right to control of her own life had already been snatched by the man of her house, her father or her husband. Later, the respect between a man toward a woman had been disappeared and men’s greed for complete authority inside his house had overflown. However, the main victims, women, in this matter, are also the accomplices of the problem because women from 1800s and earlier period had also believed and accepted their fate as being supporters of their men.…
In this year's presidential campaign election over one billion dollars will be spent on campaigning .Some candidates who drop out have spent around 4 times as much as the candidates who are still in the race. At the same time many of the candidates preach government spending and how to fix the nation's debt. Our nation is in about 20 trillion dollars in debt so why are we spending so much on our campaigns .The United States of America is the country with their most debt…

Through out much of history, women have been viewed as the “weaker sex”; women have been seen as less capable physically, socially, intelligently, economically and even religiously. Because of the cruel view that society has on them, women could only perform domestic tasks at home and as such remain obedient to the men their families. During 1450 to 1950, women in various societies around the world were viewed as the “weaker sex” as they are submissive under men’s control in marriage, constrained with an inferior identity, and limited in their daily social activities.…

The position of women in the society at present has changed gradually in the last few centuries. The role of women, as dictated by the society, is perceived by how they’re presented. Since the last three centuries, women have always been viewed as just housewives and objects of perversion.…
Everything was quiet, too quiet. As the two opposing sides face one another in the battle field, you can hear the wind howling in agony. This war has gone on for centuries and nobody knows when it will end. For as long as the truth isn’t revealed, no one is willing to back out. This is the scene that comes into my mind as I try to personify the two opposing sides of the Shakespeare controversy. For years now, the Stratfordians and Anti-Stratfordians fought. And their reason of fighting, the identity of William Shakespeare.…
Gender roles are constantly changing, but there is not enough progress in the gender identity chosen by society for women. A woman being depicted in the media as weak or lesser than a man is not tolerable. Just because these femininity performances have been repeated for so long in history does not make it natural that women should act and be represented in that way. (Alberts, 2007) It is the twenty-first century and women should be considered strong, independent and equal to men. This is still not the case as women are often also over sexualized in the media, which causes real world…
Today’s television shows have made an effort to stray from the classic American family and the gender roles within it. While gender roles aren’t as evident as they use to be, that’s not to say they do not exist. The Brady Bunch is a perfect example of gender roles existing even in a non-traditional family in the 1970’s. In a more current show, Full House, we also see a non-traditional family without a mother, but after looking closer I found that gender roles are still there.…
Gender roles are affected by the typical roles society expects both men and women to fit into because they determine how we should think, speak, dress, and interact within the context of society. Whereas I believe that men and women should be who they want to be.…
Nowadays, women worldwide are having more opportunities than ever before. Although, we are currently in the 21st century and the way women are seen is defiantly differently from the past, but there is no doubt, women are still looked upon as week. In today’s culture, women do not have a very protuberant part as males do. Treatments and roles towards women from culture to culture differs, some women are mistreated in a culture and others are praised in another culture. Nonetheless, each culture has its own views on women, where they stand in this world, and how they are treated.…

Gender roles are expectations of how a person should act, dress, and talk based on his or her sex. A majority of people conform to these roles at an early age, and will continue to carry these beliefs, often unconsciously, around with them throughout their lives, and these beliefs can affect people negatively. The message that gender roles send is that in order to be part of society, you must fit into the predisposed mold for your gender, or most importantly, what society deems as acceptable. But at the same time, try to incorporate individuality and establish a sense of self.…
There are many categories within the gender complex, in which different types of people fall under. These different categories consist of gender identity, sexual orientation, physical gender and gender roles. Identity’s can be changed dramatically depending how a person feels about themselves and who they are attracted to the same or opposite sex. Some play role because it is what they must do. Judith Butler has explained that we all “act” out our roles and try to perform it but we are born without roles. People categorize themselves depending what role they should play whether they like their role or not; like now most women…
