Abstract
This paper discusses the home and the daily chores that are very necessary to facilitate the smooth running of the household. This paper classifies these daily chores into three categories: light, medium, and heavy weight. The level of hate that most people feel for their household chores generally corresponds with the level of work or thought that they entail.

From the Paper
"Would you prefer to relax and enjoy a favorite movie, or unwind in a lounge chair and read an intriguing novel? I would definitely choose to do any of these pleasurable activities instead of performing household chores. I have classified household chores that I dislike in to three groups: light, medium and heavy weight. However, performing such chores is quite necessary for keeping my home clean. The first group of chores is the "light weight", group. Small tasks in the kitchen are light weight to me because it does not require too much physical movement nor is it a long, tiresome process. Normally when I wash dishes, I am planted in front of the sink, unless, I am cooking dinner and washing dishes at the same time. But usually, I just stand and move one arm from the sink, to the drainer, where I place the clean dishes. "

Abstract
This paper critically analyzes a research study conducted to assess teen's time allocation on household chores in relation to household demographics, gender and gender biasing. The paper discusses the study purpose, design and methodology and the discusses the limitations of the study and the lack of ability to generalize to the current population.

From the Paper
"The Gager, Cooney and Call (1999) study was extremely well done. Their study purpose, design and methodology were quite distinctive based on the comprehensive nature and attention to detail for presentation traditionally only alluded to in other studies. This paper will provide a brief synopsis and critique of the study according to class critique guidelines and as required, in outline form."

Abstract
This paper summarizes and reviews the article, which examines how household tasks are influenced by parents, family context, and the combination of these factors. The article reviewed is based on a study intended to demonstrate that children would most often perform gender-related tasks in the home.

From the Paper
"The results of the study found that children in the 8-12 age range almost always perform gender related tasks in the home. In terms of family context, the study found that the gender of the child had a major impact upon the type of work that was done. Researchers found that the girls performed most of the work in feminine tasks areas, while boys did most of the work in masculine task areas. (Antill et al, 1996) The study also found that there was little evidence to support the assertion that first born children do more work than second born children."

Abstract
The paper argues that although technology has come a long way in the last century in increasing production and efficiency of household chores, technology has not saved time. The paper refers to six articles and explains that an increase in standards, families turning from units of production to units of consumption and a demand for higher quality results have not caused a significant decrease in the time utilized for housework chores.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Through the advent of multiple forms of energy, increased domicile consumption, and a rise in standards of hygiene I intend to argue that though technology has come along way in the last century in increasing production and efficiency of the chore, technology has in fact done nothing to spare extra time. I will argue that because of the removal of some chores from the household and the introduction of others the appearance that time should have been saved is an inappropriate assumption. The correct deduction is to say that chores were made more efficient, requiring less people and work to complete, and the work now falls on a single person. Although, unfortunately, there is no scientific way to measure the burden of a task or conversely the easiness of one, this argument is always brought up when the time needed to complete a chore is measured."

Abstract
Several eminent authors have composed various masterpieces or performed intensive research on the bittersweet experiences, as well as the treatment of immigrant women in Canada. This paper discusses a particular group - the Chinese and the Hong Kong women who settled in Canada. Firstly, this paper provides an account of the progress of the immigration policies in Canada since its origin until today and its effects on the entryway of Chinese immigrant women in Canada. The paper then presents the effect of standardized policies regarding race and sex on Chinese immigrant women. Lastly, this report looks into the institutional processes, including employment and unemployment as well as the organizational processes including the relationships between family members, child care, household chores and social life which affected the lives of skilled Chinese women who migrated from China and Hong Kong and are settled in Canada.

From the Paper
"Such processes are the cause of "social injustice" (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant) within a society. Following is the account of effects of institutionalized processes in employment that is based on two surveys including married women immigrants from Hong Kong as well as China. These two studies show that most women moved to Canada with their husbands under the independent class or as business immigrants (Racism, sexism, and experience of Chinese Immigrant). These women worked back home on the basis of their individual degrees and were considered highly skilled workers but when they moved to Canada, they were not eligible for the Canadian experience requirement and as a result they were unable to work. Some of the women, who did manage to seek employment, were either underpaid or were rejected. The Canadian women irrespective of their qualifications were given preference over the Chinese immigrant women."

Abstract
This paper is about minority workers and the problem of racism in police and fire jobs. Relating to this same topic, is the problem of opportunity denial by the law enforcement agencies and the fire department towards the minorities and the problem tends to occur because we are not fair, diligent and smart enough in eradicating the root causes of the differences and probably because of the biased nature of the whites in job relevant chores. I believe that the reason for this problem is that the minorities face biasness everyday, especially in serving jobs like police and fire jobs.

Abstract
This paper discusses robotics, a technology that deals with the design, construction and operation of robots that are used in numerous applications. It looks at how these applications range from industries that require accurate and repetitive tasks (such as the car and computer manufacturing industries), dangerous tasks such as diffusing of bombs and other chores that cannot be performed by humans, e.g., carrying out research on far-away planets, or walking inside live volcanoes. It provides a description of what robots are and how they work, the history of robotics, the present applications of robots, the impact of robots in our lives and their limitations as well as the future of robots. It also discusses how close we are in the development of a "bionic" man.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Although robots as we know them today are a relatively recent invention, the idea of automated machine or a mechanical man has fascinated the human mind since the ancient times. For example, the ancient Greek poet Homer in his writings described maidens of gold, who are supposed to be mechanical helpers built by Hephaistos, the Greek god of metalsmiths. Similarly, in ancient Jewish legend, robot-like servants made of clay are brought to life by a spoken charm. (Tesler) In more recent times, Leonardo da Vinci, the "Renaissance man" drew plans for a mechanical man. Eighteenth century watchmakers were also famous for making mechanical, robot-like creatures.

Abstract
The supermarket industry is highly competitive and characterized by low profit margins. Consumers are motivated by price and service since many of the items they carry are considered commodities by consumers. Convenience, including how quickly a consumer can select and pay for goods, is also a motivating factor in choosing one market over another for shopping chores.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The oppression of women by society has never been a secret. In fact, many works of literature have well documented it since the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Olsen demonstrates a classic example of this domination in "I Stand Here Ironing." The story illustrates the oppression of women during the era of the Great Depression in the United States, and how difficult that oppression made life for women. It also shows its affect on later generations, when it affects the daughter Emily's life, too. She has to take care of the younger children, and really never has a childhood of her own. Her mother remembers, "I was a young mother, I was a distracted mother. There were other children pushing up, demanding" (Olsen). In the story, it is obvious that society's oppression of women created the situation that forced a mother to neglect her young child. As the mother irons, she remembers, and the story draws the reader into her world."
