Abstract
This paper argues that there are scientifically provable differences between the brains of men and women. Specifically, the paper explores how the brains of men and women evolve over time. It also considers how men and women have different intellectual competencies. Lastly, evidence provided by Doreen Kimura suggest that boys and girls differ in their levels of aggression because they really do have minds shaped by widely divergent hormones.

"The next several pages will argue that there really are scientifically provable differences between the brains of men and women. Specifically, the paper will explore how the brains of men and women evolve (atrophy) over time, and the paper will also look at how men and women have different intellectual competencies - differences which, broadly stated, suggest that men are better in the realm of mathematics and mathematical logic while women are better in the realm of language arts and visual memory. Lastly, evidence provided by Doreen Kimura suggest that boys and..."

Abstract
This essay discusses the differences between men and women, including emotional and relational differences. It also discusses similarities, such as basic needs and the ability to reason. Other differences are also examines such as what men and women prefer to do in their pastimes.
From the Paper
"Men and women are both alike and different depending upon what characteristics are being examined. Biologically they are both members of the same genus and species. As humans they have the same basic needs-water to drink, food to eat, air to breathe and shelter from the elements. Both genders have emotions, intellect and the ability to reason. Even emotionally there are some similarities between men and women. Both genders for the most part want the warmth of human affection and companionship. Both..."

Abstract
This paper discusses sex differences in perceptual skills. The writer discusses the most prominent disparities between men and women. The writer suggests such differences in the areas of spatial skills, mathematical reasoning, target-directed motor skills, inferring intentions and detecting the feelings of others. In this paper, the writer examines these differences and looks at possible reasons.
From the Paper
"Rhoads argues that it is time for people to start taking sex differences seriously. Rhoads makes the case that increasing scientific evidence is showing that differences between men and women are hardwired into their biology, ranging from the subtle e.g. men get a chemical high from winning, while women get one from nursing, to the profound, women with high testosterone levels are more promiscuous, more competitive and more conflicted about having children than women with average levels of testosterone. While there are many ... "

Abstract
This paper examines several studies which suggest a physiological basis for the differences in men's and women's spacial abilities. Several studies are described in detail, including their experimental setting and outcomes. The author concludes by evaluating the available research findings and stating that these differences have a concrete physiological basis.
From the Paper
"Gender Differences in Spatial Orientation
The size of certain inner ear structures may be the reason why men are able to adjust themselves more accurately to their environment than women (ScienceDaily 2006). This is the finding of a study recently published and which tested the differences in the way the male and female subjects make judgments and how they orient themselves in their environment. Professor Luc Tremblay of the University of Toronto's Faculty of Physical Education and Health, which conducted the study, said that the subjects' responses to verbal instructions on how they determine spatial orientation did not remove the differences between them and this provided the basis for the assumption that the differences may be physiological in nature. Tremblay called attention to particular inner ear structures, called otoliths, which are sensitive to inertial forces, like gravity, and which are larger in men than in women and enable men to adjust better to their space or environment. The 11 male and 13 female subjects showed that there were still significant differences, with the women more drawn towards their feet and more likely to misjudge their horizontal environment. The women subjects, however, showed that they could perform better in sensory tasks and situations, such as driving a car or piloting a plane, and avoiding worst-case scenario in spatial orientation. This showed why women tend to act more cautiously towards what they sense or perceive, while men tend to take risks."

Abstract
The paper contrasts similarities and differences between the US and India. The paper discusses intercultural differences when interacting with others. The paper includes the individualism of America and concludes with the influence of geography and government.
From the Paper
"In a world that is becoming increasingly more global in nature there are going to be instances where inter-cultural similarities and differences appear when interacting with others. This paper will examine a few of the inter-cultural similarities and differences between East India and the United States, specifically covering the influences of geography, government religion and conflict resolution. The first example of similarities and differences between the United States and India is in the influence of the geography and governments of both countries."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer provides a critique of Ann Moir and David Jessel's article, which is provocatively entitled "The Differences". The writer notes that the differences to which these two authors allude are the differences that they claim exist between women's and men's brains. The writer points out that according to Moir and Jessel, it is an irrefutable scientific fact that women's and men's brains differ substantially, and moreover that this is reflected in their vastly different aptitudes, interests and abilities. The writer discusses that the authors take issue with what they clearly see as a politically correct vogue of denying that such differences exist, and urge readers to simply accept the differences as a fact of biology. The writer maintains that in so doing, they implicitly attempt to negate much of the work done by feminists to date, and arguably contribute to the backlash against feminism.
From the Paper
"In addition, given the misogyny that lurks just below the surface of this article, it is hard to believe that the authors did not have the deliberate intent of countering the feminist movement. The misogyny is evidenced for example by the fact that Gustave Le Bon's statement that many women's brains are closer in size to those of gorillas than those of men is quoted without censure, indeed, with tacit approval, as the authors then immediately go on to imply that we are in a devastating social revolution due to the fact that women are stupidly refusing to accept their inferiority. And the fact that one of the authors is a woman should not distract us from the charge of misogyny - sadly, the ranks of women also have their share of Uncle Tom's."

Abstract
The writer of this paper details the manner in which various values and cultural traditions can impact an individual's or group's beliefs, attitudes and actions with respect to their day-to-day existence. The writer contends and explains how cultural differences affect communication, interaction and actions amongst different people. In an environment where little cultural diversity exists, it is likely that cultural differences will have little or no impact on human relations. This paper also discusses the issue of cultural differences in the workplace. Cultural diversity can lead to conflict as well as collaboration within the workplace, depending on whether or not people are willing to embrace people that are culturally different. This paper examines the impact of cultural diversity in the classroom, where teachers are being asked to become more culturally literate so that they can better address the needs of all their students, rather than the few who fall into one or two categories. This paper also explores the issue of students with varying cultural backgrounds that have different perceptions of learning and communicating and the manner in which their needs are met.

From the Paper
"Cultural differences even impact students in the classroom. More and more teachers are being asked to become more culturally literate so that they can better address the needs of all their students, rather than the few who fall into one or two categories. Students with varying cultural backgrounds have different perceptions of learning and communicating, thus may have a difficult time achieving in a classroom that does not recognize their cultural differences and methods of learning. For students to be successful in a culturally diverse environment, teachers must work to improve communications and the methods they use to teach, to ensure that they are addressing the needs of a diverse population. To understand how cultural differences impact human relations one must also understand what culture is."

Review of "Gender Differences in Pay" Why do men make more money than women in some jobs? Living in a global world, are there still differences in the pay scale between men and women? In the article, "Gender Differences in Pay" by F. Blau and L. Kahn, the authors discuss the differences in pay between men and women including the earnings of men and women, different occupations, and discrimination. The article shows that changes have been made where women are paid more in many fields than they were back in the 1970's, but men continue to be paid more than women. The wages women receive have risen since the 1970's to the present time.

Abstract
This paper examines class differences as presented in Japanese Literature. The paper looks at "As I Cross A Bridge of Dreams" by Lady Sarashina and "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu. Several questions are raised in the paper, to examine the not only class differences but also gender differences. Are the upper-class male characters willing to risk their careers for the women they meet? What are the social codes and regulations, and what happens to these men and women who assault the social code and pursue forbidden relationships? Are the consequences enforced so the men suffer in their political careers? Are the women ultimately abandoned and destroyed? These questions are all brought up in the context of class and gender issues to illustrate that the two authors, from the same culture and heritage, use their different destinies and experiences to portray different opinions.
