Abstract
This paper, a research proposal, examines a number of different sets of literature, including that specifically addressing the ways in which the expression of aggression has a gendered element. The author states, after an extensive review of research methodology, that the research will be based on a quasi-ethnographic qualitative method, consisting primarily of unstructured interviews combined with observation in a naturalistic setting. The paper stresses that, even though boys and girls may exhibit their aggression and cruelty in distinct ways, the effects can be equally detrimental; therefore, teachers, parents, and the children themselves must be able to recognize and work to stop all forms of inter-personal aggression in children and teenagers.

From the Paper
"Quantitative research is most valuable when it is used to investigate any behavior (or value or belief) that can be quantified without doing harm to the core concept that is being investigated. Some concepts and behaviors are in fact very difficult to quantify, as Patton (1990) argues. How, for example, can one quantity the idea of religious belief without coming up with a unit that is so far divorced from the idea of faith that the research design has destroyed its own subject? Likewise, subtle measures of aggression are best determined through qualitative methods."

Abstract
Paper presents a rough, draft blueprint of a proposed study about female aggression of girls between the ages of 10 and 14 and how this aggression makes girls feel about school. The writer explores various studies and sources for the purpose of presenting evidence that a study on the topic is warranted. In addition, the writer discusses the elements of the proposed study, including methodology and participants. Includes a full annotated bibliography with source material attached.
From the Paper
"The hypothesis of this study will be asked and answered as to how female aggression affects the attitudes about school among the students in the school setting. The limitations of this study include the inability to prevent participants from reading ahead and understanding why the school attitude questions at the top are being asked. This may color the way they answer the entire survey. The study will provide a foundational blueprint of how female aggression affects the attitudes of victims about school. This might provide a pathway to future programs to address those attitudes."

Canadian Drug Laws: Flying High or High Flying?, 2005.
A discussion on the current marijuana policies in Canada.

Abstract
This paper supports decriminalization rather than legalization of marijuana and bases its rationale on the assumption that legalization is politically untenable. While the criminal elements of the marijuana industry are examined they are examined in the light that the marijuana industry would not generate the profit margins that the criminal industry usually demands if marijuana were decriminalized.
From the Paper
"The legality of marijuana in Canada seems to be more of a matter of legal semantics than any pragmatic change in legal practice. As one pundit notes, "Officially, possession of cannabis is a crime and first-time offenders face a maximum sentence of a $1,000 fine or six months in jail, or both...Unofficially, the law is in tatters...(Bergman, 2003, para.3). It is this tenuous status quo that receives the most criticism while the debate about legalizing/decriminalizing or toughening/enforcing marijuana statutes receives the most intellectual attention. The polarity on either side of the marijuana debate acknowledges that the policy as it currently exists, is unsustainable. The following research and argument is intended to support the decriminalization of marijuana as opposed to the legalizing of marijuana. "

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

The Medusa Myth and the Female Gaze, 2002.
This paper explores the portrayal of female figures in art and myth, focusing on the Medusa myth and the castrating power of the female gaze and their effect of the female self-image.

Abstract
The paper reviews in detail the image of Medusa that pits femininity and masculinity against each other and allowing masculinity to triumph. The paper continues by stating that the gaze of the painted female subject often is depicted with her eyes either diverted from the viewer, or coyly regarding him. The author states that myths like the Medusa myth and the female gaze instruct women that their sexuality is something to be suppressed, that a powerful woman is a dangerous woman, and that the male will triumph in the end.
From the Paper
"Though the familiar image of Medusa as a serpent-haired monster is attributed to the Greeks, the myth of Medusa actually has its roots in pre-classical Mediterranean culture. In the matriarchal societies that existed before Greek civilization, Medusa was far from reviled as she was by the Greeks; instead, she was worshipped as a beautiful mother deity who symbolized wisdom, fertility, and female power. With the advent of Greek civilization, the existing gynocentric religion and mythology were compelled to adapt to the new patriarchal value system."

Abstract
This paper examines wives? relationships with other women, be they mothers, daughters, or confidantes, as a destructive force in the minds of ancient Greek men.
From the Paper
"There are two main types of women that can change the course of an ancient Greek play by their effects on the tragic heroine: mother and confidante. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, we see the first of these types. Demeter, a mother distraught over her daughter?s abduction and rape, is only pacified by the breakup of Persephone?s marriage for four months out of the year. In this case, the cost of preserving the mother-daughter bond is the sacrifice of the daughter?s marriage for a third of every year. The maternal bond and the marriage bond seem to be incompatible; here, the two are unable to coexist spatially or temporally. It is Demeter who, by her passive-aggressive registration of disapproval, manages to become every son-in-law?s nightmare by turning his newlywed wife against him. "

Abstract
This paper examines the deeply rooted traditional practice of female genital mutilation and the dangerous health risks and lifelong medical consequences which often result in women and young girls who undergo this procedure. This paper details the surgical procedure involved in removing parts of the female genitalia which varies, depending on tradition and culture. This paper delves into the various religions and cultures which encourage this procedure. This paper analyzes the cultural aspect of female genital mutilation from the point of view of women who view the procedure as something positive they are doing "for" their daughters and not "to" them. The writer contends and discusses the fact that although Muslims claim female genital mutilation is commanded in Islam there is in fact no specific support for this claim in the Koran.
From the Paper
"Many religious and cultural issues foster female genital mutilation, and although some proponents of the practice claim that it is required by Islam, there is no specific support for this claim in the Koran. From a cultural perspective, women view the procedure as something they do "for' their daughters instead of 'to" them, as a means of securing their economic and social future through marriage. The genital scar provides proof for the prospective husband that this woman has been trained in moral and practical responsibilities and has maintained her virginity. The procedure is carried out at various ages, ranging from birth to during the first pregnancy, however, it is most commonly performed between the ages of four and eight."

A discussion of the way aggression differs in girls and boys in their youth.

Abstract
This paper explores how previous research concerning peer aggression has been conducted under the assumption that women rarely display aggression; therefore, aggressive behavior has historically been viewed as a male phenomenon. It discusses how, recently, many researchers have challenged the gender bias in the existence of aggressive behaviors and have broadened the definition of aggression. It looks at how it is now believed that females also display certain levels of aggression and challenges the previous theories.
From the Paper
"Previous research concerning peer aggression has been conducted under the assumption that women rarely display aggression; therefore, aggressive behavior has historically been viewed as a male phenomenon (Bjorkqvist, 1994). Recently, many researchers have challenged the gender bias in the existence of aggressive behaviors and have broadened the definition of aggression. Bjorkqvist's research suggests sex differences exist in the quality of the aggression, but not the quantity. According to Paquette and Underwood (1999), an adolescent's expression of anger and contempt for peers can sometimes be expressed through physical aggression, manipulation, exclusion, and/or gossip. This broader definition allows for a more complete understanding of the social or relational aggression, which is typically associated with females. Relational aggression is more verbal than physical and very prevalent in today's society. Gender differences in the prevalence and the form of aggressive behavior used could be explained by the different social roles of females and males. This paper will discuss the different types of aggression and how each type is used within the female and male peer groups. Aggression has been defined as having five central features: Intention to harm, unprovoked, happens repeatedly, victim perceives the bully as having power, and occurring in small groups. There are two distinct forms of aggression within this definition, overt (physical) and relational (verbal). Crick and Grotpeter (1995) state that the distinction between overt and relational aggression is related to gender. To be specific, the types of aggressive behaviors displayed within peer groups differ between same-sex groups."

Female Indian Presidents, 2008.

Abstract
This paper looks at a number of issues in Indian society that will perplex even a female head of government. Specifically, time is devoted to looking at the foreign policy issue of immigrant Indian women abuse in America (perpetrated by spouses who are citizens or permanent residents of that country) and why a female leader could surely do no worse than her male predecessors. From there, the paper examines how social justice concerns may finally muscle their way to the forefront of Indian politics. The paper also devotes time to looking at the impetus a female leader might give to political representation initiatives aimed at providing women more seats in the national parliament after generations of marginalization.
From the Paper
"To start with, a female president can begin pushing for changes that will help address women's issues long ignored by male politicians; needless to say, these changes can also be changes in how India approaches other lands on various issues. For example, many Conditional Residency Status Immigrant Women who marry men classified as United States citizens or as permanent residents of America enjoy what is commonly known as "conditional residency" for 24 months. These women must file a joint application to get their condition lifted 90 days before the 24 month period expires. In the case of women who find themselves trapped in abusive relationships, the spouse almost invariably refuses to participate in a joint application. "

Abstract
This paper presents a thorough explanation of aggression replacement training and the basic tenants of this form of therapy. The goal is to give adolescents alternatives to their aggression and antisocial behavior and teach them to recognize the precursors to their physically aggressive and threatening behavior. The author also cites the importance of adolescents considering the consequences of their actions and taking positive control of their situation. The paper further describes the three intervention techniques used that correspond with the three components of aggressive behavior.
From the Paper
"A group format is generally used for this type of training, because the dynamics of the group can be used to help advance learning much more quickly. Some of the ways that learning is solidified are through role playing, homework assignments, and the repetition of important concepts (Glick, et al, 1986). There are both pre- and post-tests that are given to the adolescents in order to help determine whether the program was effective and how much skill development the participants have seen, and adults that have interaction with these adolescents outside of the group, such as probation officers, teachers, and parents, are given information that explains the techniques and terminology that are used in the program (Goldstein & Glick, 1994).

Abstract
The researcher reviews two male and two female leaders in large global organizations. The researcher examines the long-term objectives, mission, values and beliefs of the organization in an attempt to discern whether female led organizations are more apt to adopt different long- term goals than male led organizations. The paper shows how males and females are likely to perform equally well when afforded the opportunity to take on advanced leadership roles within an organization. The paper stresses, however, that as long as stereotypes exist regarding women's ability to perform adequately within the organizational leadership role, women will continue to struggle to maintain egalitarian representation in the world of corporate society.

From the Paper
"Studies suggest that roughly 79 percent of the female population and 82 percent of the male population believe that men and women manage differently and thus, contribute to the organization's bottom line in different ways (RBI, 2004). This assumes a potential difference in the ways male vs. female organizations lead, including their goal setting preferences. According to recent surveys of 1,000 employees RBI (2004) revealed that more and more women are also breaking into top organizational roles, and within these roles are more likely to be described as either "controlling, approachable or direct" (RBI, 2004)."
