Abstract
"There is a prevalence of sexually explicit images of women in men's and women's magazines that result in female objectification. Women are much more likely than men to be seen in magazine advertisements in a stereotypical manner, such as submissive, sexual, and/or in a caregiver role. This objectification of women in today's magazine advertisements clearly fuels attitudes of male domination and gender inequality resulting in men viewing women as submissive sex objects, while creating self-doubt and self-objectification in certain populations of women. This has been supported in various studies indicating the sexual objectification of women in magazine advertisements has a negative societal effect. Introduction A prevalence of sexually explicit images of women in men's and women's magazines has resulted in female sexual objectification. Furthermore, Women are much more likely than men to be seen in magazine advertisements in a stereotypical manner, such as submissive, sexual, and/or in a caregiver role. This objectification of women in today's magazine advertisements fuels attitudes of gender inequality, resulting in men viewing women as submissive sex objects, while creating self-doubt and self-objectification in women. Hence, young people should be educated on the ills of such images and the negative effects they can have on society as a whole. Content Analysis Methods To complete this content analysis, texts were researched to analyze the meaning and relationship of certain words and concepts. The Internet search engine Google was used, along with Questia, an academic database, with keywords such as objectification, women, and magazines entered to elicit results. Hence, academic journals, data, magazines, and books written about the subject were examined. This produced insight into the sociology of the objectification of women. Furthermore, the content analysis involved reading and interpreting information "

Abstract
This paper explains that, since the rapid popularity and use of the internet in the United States and around the globe, pornography and the viewing of pornography on-line seems to have mushroomed tremendously, resulting in more violence, less general empathy and understanding and a general moral decay of the principles and ideals which make up a civilized society. The author points out the dangers of child pornography, violent pornography that shows rape and violent acts toward women and pornography based on a dominant/submissive theme, whether geared toward men or women. The paper relates that studies show that men who are relatively at high risk for sexual aggression are more likely to be attracted to pornography and to become more aroused and more disposed to act aggressively toward women and even children.

From the Paper
"Another researcher, Catherine Helen Palczewski, notes that more and more women believe that pornography berates and belittles women, and that "pornography is the ideology of a culture which promotes and condones rape, woman-battering, and other crimes of violence against women." Thus, this prevalent aspect of pornography leads to a general degrading of women and a societal acceptance of that degrading as a norm. This is illustrated by many other forms of media, from advertising to film and television, where often the women are portrayed as little more than sex objects."

From the Paper
"In poetry during the late fifties and early sixties, women were often stereotypically supposed to be beautiful. One in particular entitled "Barbie Doll," by Marge Piercy, shows society'sconcern with beauty. The poem is about a young woman who was told as a girl that she had a "fat nose" and "thick legs". The young woman is smart, educated, and strong, yet she does not meet the "ideals" of the beautiful woman. Society in pre-feminist times stereotyped beauty as being slender, and having a small nose, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Since she does not have these "ideal" features the young woman chooses death, by cutting off her nose and legs. This poem suggests the destructiveness of society's standards of female beauty on those who do not "fit" the criteria. Piercy's second stanza "She was healthy, tested intelligent, possessed strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive, and manual dexterity. She went to and fro apologizing. Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs - (ll.7-11) implies the woman had numerous good qualities and traits for a man, yet because she did not possess ideal female qualities, her life was filled with apologies and attempts to become physically attractive. Lines 20 and 21, "dressed in pink and white nightie. / Doesn't she look pretty"...,? suggest the woman's femininity was reinstated after her death. Although now she may be accepted by society, with her "turned up putty nose," these standards have caused her a painful death. In the last line of the poem, "To every woman a happy ending," Piercy uses irony to show the reader the woman's unhappiness and the tragedy of her life. It is ironic that the author uses these words because the young woman lived her life in embarrassment and without satisfaction."

Abstract
The way in which society defines the structures and strictures of gender has developed in the last century into a field in which there is an abundance of textual dissertation concerning gender, identity, body image, and other issuances of definitional standards that often defy the status quo and change the way in which we think about what it is to be a man or woman. The paper shows that these essential qualities that define gender are harder to determine the more we explore the boundaries that have been set up, in many cases, as no more than cultural myths that represent the continuance of a socio-economic class system. One of these myths is the idea of the mythical body image, or the ideal physiological representation of a society in which gender lines are clearly defined in terms of male and female. This paper explores the idea of this image in terms of its contrivance, ramifications, social constructionism, and its support of gender stereotypes to provide an understanding of how our culture defines male and female images of perfection.

From the Paper
"Myths traditionally focus on the superhuman or divine while providing a model of behavior for their consumer, who is more often than not encouraged by them to accept a sort of socio-economic status quo, along with a sense of diversion and the illusion that in escaping reality, the person buying into the myth is escaping the status-quo of an
economically oriented social class system. This particular diversion is carried on through time and changed, if slightly, by successive generations as the gradations of society change with time (although the continuance of myth is often retrogressive concerning the continuance of the society). Although the theme may only change slightly, the
presentation of a new myth within this traditional trope suggests other changes that are more important."

Theoretical support and background information for the proposed study will be obtained from published literature related to interpersonal conflict. Subjects for the proposed..."

Abstract
This paper argues that although Rome genuinely desired reunification with the Eastern churches, this was premised upon the expectation that it would submit to the authority of the Pope. The paper explains that this was not achieved, because a key reason for the schism was the Eastern church's refusal to acknowledge the authority of the bishop of Rome. The paper then looks at how the Western church's desire for reunification would have required submission, it is argued that the Western church really sought nothing less than the submission of the Eastern church. The paper suggest that it was not looking for partnership, it was looking for domination. The writer believes that this, coupled with the fact that the schism was so very far reaching and profound, meant that unification was simply not possible.

From the Paper
"The other major reason for the schism relates directly to the issue of power and dominance. The Eastern Church and the Western Church had for a long time been growing increasingly estranged due to disputes over papal authority. As summarized by Congar, the "Oriental schism came about by a progressive estrangement." This came to a head when Pope Leo IX proclaimed his authority over the four Eastern patriarchs. This authority was firmly repudiated by the Eastern Church, and continues to be repudiated to this day."

Abstract
This essay examines how August Strindberg's play, "Miss Julie", treats the issue of power, focusing on three elements: psychological domination and submission; the relative social status of the two principals; and the issue of gender-bending. The paper demonstrates how all of these elements relate to each other, with a common theme of changes in power balances.

From the Paper
"An element of psychological domination and submission is introduced early in this play. Nowadays we might use terms such as dominatrix, or SM (sadomasochism), but these terms are not explicitly used in the play. However, it is quite clear that these kinds of psycho-sexual power games are in fact occurring, as the two principals vie with each other for power."

Abstract
This paper examines how the Korean and Puerto Rican cultures are very similar, with both based on the separation of gender roles and with women being submissive and men being dominant. It shows how once in America, both cultures have adapted to the new environment in very different ways. For the Koreans, women have began to question their roles and become more active, with the relationship becoming more equal. In contrast, the Puerto Rican gender roles have not changed much. Men remain only as workers with women taking on the role as both workers, housewives and mothers with a new generation of young women being raised as cooks and cleaners.

From the Paper
"The Puerto Rican family structure is similar to the Korean one in that the female and male roles are separated. The man is responsible for earning the money, while the woman's primary role is to look after the house and raise the children. The woman is also expected to be submissive, while the male is dominant. The woman in Puerto Rico though, were also involved in the workforce. While this was a reality, it did not change the family structure. Instead, women working was a necessity due to financial strain. A woman working then, was not a sign of her role changing, but something that had to be done for her to adeqautely care for her children."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the development of Jane, the main character in Charlotte Bronte's novel, "Jane Eyre", from her submissive and abusive childhood to the confident and bright woman at the end of the story. The paper examines her relationship with the other characters and shows how and when her personality emerges for her to become a strong, independent woman.

From the Paper
"Jane Eyre is one of the greatest British classics ever written. The story watches closely the life and the evolution of Jane Eyre, a poor, orphan girl who as a child lives upon the mercy of her cold-hearted aunt, Mrs. Reed. The story is very interesting from a feminist point of view. Apparently, Jane Eyre is from the beginning and throughout the development of the story a plain, obedient girl who is always trying to please the others. The humiliations she is subjected to as a child growing up in the middle of an aristocratic family but without being treated as their equal also emphasize her submissive status. Moreover, Jane's relationship with Mr. Rochester could also be regarded as one of dependence. However, the strength of the story lies precisely in the effect of Jane's gradual emergence as a true independent individual, from the obscure beginnings of her childhood to the confident and bright woman at the end of the story. Jane's evolution can be traced in relationship with that of the other characters and it is especially apparent in her love relationship with Mr. Rochester."
