Opposition to Equality Issues

From the Paper
"Other studies exploring gender inequities among young adults and middle-age adults exist and result primarily from lower feelings of self-confidence or the ability to succeed when placed in a competitive environment (Goodman, Cunningham & Lachapelle, 2002). For example, women are more likely to drop out of mathematical or engineering fields not because they are not able to do the work, but rather because society suggests that men are more capable in these fields, and thus dominate these fields, resulting in an indirect discrimination against women in primarily male-dominated fields (Goodman, Cunningham & Lachapelle, 2002)."

Abstract
This paper examines the topic of gender inequality and presents a review of literature that supports the argument that stereotypical roles of gender have led to inequality in marriages and gender relationships, which in turn, have impacted the ability of women to become truly financially and emotionally secure.

From the Paper
"The issue of gender inequality in relationships is of great social concern, especially in light of the increasing divorce rate and the growing numbers of single mothers bringing up children. The increasing break down of the traditional family structure implies the need for women to be more and more financially independent. Yet, a review of literature on the subject indicates that gender inequality in relationships persists and has led to a situation where women are still unable to break the traditional stereotype of the female role and focus on developing an independent career."

Abstract
This paper raises the question of whether there is a relationship between gender stereotypes in children's books and a child's perception of gender. The analysis is based on a qualitative review of research articles.

From the Paper
"This study sought to determine the existence of the relationship between gender stereotypes in children's books and children's perceptions of gender. The exploration of this topic involved a qualitative review of research articles that addressed this topic from multiple perspectives. Several research studies that focused on measuring the gender representations in children's books were based on the premise that the presence of gender stereotypes in books automatically translates into children's gender stereotypical perceptions. However, the remaining research studies suggested that children's gender perceptions played a stronger role in shaping..."

"PSYCHOANALYSIS AND GENDER

Introduction
There are currently many feminists who assert that the essential psychoanalytic framework of male/female relationships is not relevant to the concerns and needs of women. Indeed, as noted by Harris (1991), those holding this view argue that early Freudian notions of gender (such as those describing the male/female relationship by relating it to the mythical tale of Medusa turning warriors to stone), are actually derogatory to women. However, it is contended here that many of those arguing against the relevance of the psychoanalytic framework for explaining gender relationships are really not very familiar with this framework beyond what was originally stated by Freud. The purpose, therefore, of this paper is to provide a comprehensive ..."

Abstract
This paper presents a study on how gender stereotypes encompass even the toy preference of preschool age children. The paper tests the hypothesis that, as children become older, they prefer to play with sex-congruent toys rather than toys of the opposite sex. Specifically, the paper seeks to determine if children identify more with toys labeled as their individual gender when they are 3- to 4-year-olds in comparison to 2- to 3-year-olds. The paper describes the methods, procedure, and results of the study and then analyzes those results. The paper concludes with recommendations for conducting future research.

From the Paper
"We encountered many limitations while conducting our experiment on the toy selection of different genders. Our hypothesis was that as children got older they would choose to play with toys that were identifiable with their individual gender. Conducting our experiment in classrooms that were set up to be gender-neutral made it hard to evaluate this. The activities and toys chosen the most were gender-neutral and therefore did not support or counter our hypothesis. Gender-neutral activities included: drawing, play dough, constructing shape pattern on sheets, going down the slide, generic books (particularly on frogs), puzzles and playing in the sand table."

Abstract
This essay is a comparative analysis of the child-parent relationships expressed in the following works: Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl," Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays" and Ethan Canin's "The Year of Getting to Know Us", focusing on how children must develop and mature before they understand their parents and themselves.

From the Paper
"Relationships between parents and children are often made more complex by the fact that in addition to the strong emotional ties shared between parents and children, children are not yet developed enough to understand the full .."

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
This paper discusses the notion that the most important thing about human beings is what sex they are. According to this paper, from the time we are born, our sex has an influence on how society views us. It has a major influence on what we do in our lives, and in what society thinks it is correct for us to do. This is true in all human societies of today and previous times. Moreover, most people think that sex is a simple, uncomplicated matter. They think that all children are born male or female, and then behave in the correct way according to this throughout their lives.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the basic task for parents is to instill desirable values and to help the child develop according to his or her ability. The problem of raising both boys and girls in today's society is raised, mentioning the view that it might have been easier in the past because gender distinctions were more rigid and clearer. The writer notes that to a great degree, boys learn from their fathers how to be male and girls from their others how to be female, though the process is more complex than this might indicate. The writer concludes that many people find that children today lose much of their childhood because of the many influences that cause them to grow up too fast and that affects how they learn to be male and female today, but in truth, the force that remains the most important is parenting and the role parents take as models to be imitated.

From the Paper
"The social controllers have eliminated these emotions through a number of conditioning methods, but the primary means of eliminating them has been to eliminate the family, the crucible where emotional bonds are formed and where the need for later bonds to supplant those between parent and child is formed. The elimination of the family has gone so far as to make the family and its relationships appear socially undesirable, psychologically unhealthy, and un-human. Human beings are touted as more advanced than animals and thus as no longer in need of the bonds and crutches animals require. The controllers have eliminated these emotions in the name of efficiency."

Abstract
This paper examines the amount and types of violence children and adolescents are exposed to, and whether there is a relationship between this exposure and the development of aggression in children and adolescents. The paper explains that thousands of research studies have demonstrated that exposure to violent television and video games tends to lead to the development of aggression in some children and adolescents, however there is no simple causal relationship, i.e. we cannot say for sure that exposure to such violence will lead to aggressive behavior. The paper notes that multiple variables have an impact, such as age and gender of the child, and level of mediation done by parents, and that different media have different effects. In conclusion, the paper shows that research has established that exposure to television and video game violence can lead to the development of aggression in children and adolescents and such exposure tends to desensitize them to violence, and dis-inhibit them from committing acts of violence.

From the Paper
"Violence on television is the most commonly experienced exposure to violence in the lives of most children. While it is common knowledge that there is a great deal of violence on television, it is important to bear in mind that there are many different kinds of violence on television. For example, some shows feature human actors, acting out brutally violent acts, such as murder, rape and torture. While these may not be intended for young children, the reality is that many such children have access to them. At the other extreme, even cartoons usually portray at least some violence. Often this is extreme violence, such as pianos dropping on heads. However, the characters usually do not bleed or die, and they are in any event clearly fictional, so one might expect that the impact is not as great as graphic violence with human actors."
