Abstract
The paper is a study of grieving behaviour between men and women. The paper states that there has been relatively little research on the ways in which biological differences between men and women interact with the psychological/sociocultural influences relevant to bereavement. This paper correlates these two areas of research into a biopsychological model by examining disruption in biological regulatory processes following traumatic events and the significance of these events for physical and psychological functioning as they differ between males and females.
Outline:
Introduction
Background
Cultural Differences in Grieving
Gender Differences in Grieving
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The psychological correlates specific to twin and sibling loss have been less well studied by bereavement researchers than those associated with parental, child, and spousal loss. Some analyses have, however, underlined the impact of twin and sibling loss as significant and enduring (Bank & Kahn, 1982; Segal, Wilson, Bouchard, & Gitlin, 1995). Increased focus on opposite-sex twins and siblings promises to yield informative findings of both theoretical and practical significance with respect to gender differences in grief, as well as differences in age at loss and cause of death. Greater attention to personality characteristics, the previous sibling relationship, and life crises that may have preceeded the death is also needed."

Abstract
This paper introduces and discusses how men and women do not understand each other, and how this can lead to miscommunication and even madness. To understand and prove this point, the paper analyzes the short play "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell.
From the Paper
" "Trifles" is the story of a woman driven to the "end of her rope" by a spiteful, mean-spirited man, but it is also a story of women, and how they can come together in a crisis. The two women in the story know immediately what Mrs. Wright had to put up with, and immediately stand up for her when the men begin to criticize her housekeeping skills. "MRS. HALE. No, I don't mean anything. But I don't think a place'd be any cheerfuller for John Wright's being in it" (Trifles). "

Cognitive Differences Between Men and Women, 2005.

Abstract
While external physical differences of men and women are largely accepted throughout contemporary society, more inward differences are often hotly contested. One of the most often studied of these differences surrounds the ways that the respective genders think. This paper examines research which delves into these differences. The paper concludes that ultimately, regardless of the ways that men and women think differently, and regardless of the reasons for these differences, society must examine the philosophical implications of the differences and decide whether it is worth the effort to minimize the impact that the differences have on gender roles across greater society.
From the Paper
"Still, while it is obvious that there are differences in the ways that men and women think, questions also remain about which factors attribute to these differences. Some researchers indicate that these differences are due to nature, while others blame education, and still others are convinced that the differences are the result of free choice."

The Differing Moralities of Men and Women, 2002.
An overview of the three main differences between men and women, as described in "How Good People Make Tough Choices" by Rushworth M. Kidder.

Abstract
This paper examines how, in "In How Good People Make Tough Choices", Rushworth M. Kidder argues that men and women have differing moralities based on three specific differences. It shows how men focus on ethics of justice, while women focus on ethics of care; how men focus more on equality, while women focus on ensuring nobody gets hurt; and finally, how women focus more on networks of lateral relationships, while men focus more on hierarchical structures. By researching each of these three specific factor,s it shows that men and women do have different moralities, while also showing the basic differences in the genders that account for these differing moralities.
From the Paper
"The first difference is that men focus on ethics of justice while women focus on ethics of care. Ethics of justice refers to a focus on rights, while ethics of care refers to a focus on responsibilities. The main difference between the two approaches is that the ethics of justice makes the decision black and white. When looking at a situation based on justice, a person can determine clearly and definitely whether a decision is right or wrong. In contrast, the ethics of care makes the decision much less certain. When considering responsibilities, the decision becomes gray with it difficult to justify the decision being made. A person making a decision based on ethics of care is likely to say that they did what felt right."

Abstract
This paper discusses the different topics that men and women talk about. It shows the way they use words, phrases, statements, and questions in discussion. The paper then looks at how men and women construct their questions. This paper delves into that topic with multiple authorities illustrating it.
From the Paper
"Communication is one of the most evident differences between men and women. There are several differences between how men and women communicate. Some ways that men and women differ is in their topics of discourse, in the way they use vocabulary, in the topics they engage in, and in their filler words, phrases, questions, phonology and style in speech. Since men and women speak so differently from one another, gender influences the way people speak."

Language Differences between Men and Women, 2006.
A paper looking at how males and females communicate and how verbal and non-verbal messages are developed and sent.

Abstract
This paper examines several studies concerning the differences between male and female communication. The paper concludes that there are both differences and similarities in how men and women communicate but the differences, while they may be subtle, have judgemental consequences. Such consequences, the paper notes, can be seen in the way that female speakers are rated higher on socio-intellectual status and aesthetic quality while males are rated higher on dynamism.
From the Paper
"Status is also designated in this power scheme. Many of the "women's language" such as politeness and raising the ends of sentences is found more in low- versus high-status individuals. "Women's language" seems to be more often used when individuals are unemployed, housewives or have lower jobs than well-educated people and professionals (O'Barr & Atkins, 1980). Subordinates share higher rates of speech associated with women than they do their managers. Single male parents use language more similar to single mothers than married fathers. It is recognized, then, that language is not just a matter of gender dominance, but goes hand-in-hand with status as well."

"The Difference Between Men and Women
One of the most obvious differences between men and women is primary and secondary genitalia, but there are other as well. Men are usually larger in stature than women and have more body hair. Men are considered more extroverted, aggressive, physically active, "dense", and sexually oriented than women. Women, on the other hand, are stereotypically seen as "high maintenance", more sensitive, interactive, sensual, and submissive. Although many of these stereotypes hold true for many people, they do not always account for individual differences.
In "The He Hormone" by Andrew Sullivan, the author opens his article by describing the mysterious liquid that he injects, his "He Hormone", which is testosterone. He then goes onto describe how ..."

"Men and Women of the Corporation", 2007.
This paper reviews Rosabeth Moss Kanter's work about the differences in management between men and women in the business world, "Men and Women of the Corporation".

Abstract
The paper examines how Rosabeth Moss Kanter uses many sampling methods in the study that she conducted regarding the differences between men and women in the corporate world and how they react to leadership. The paper looks at what Kanter's work can mean for management in the corporate world where men and women are concerned. The paper explains that men have traditionally taken a stronger approach to leadership, while women have often gone for a softer attitude. The paper notes that the prediction of Kanter that men and women would be equal within the workplace has still not come true.
From the Paper
"One of the sampling methods that Kanter used in her study was theoretical (or purposive) sampling (Kanter, 1977), which means that Kanter believed that the variables which she chose were very representative of the population that she was studying. She also, to some extent, utilized the idea of 'convenience sampling' because she collected volunteers from a meeting. These 111 women that attended this meeting were asked to fill out the survey that was helpful to the study (Kanter, 1977), and this was largely why Kanter was able to collect this large amount of participants for the study."

Men and Women Conversational Styles, 2005.
A research of the difference between men and women in language including a synopsis of the dominance and difference approach.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how socio-linguistic study shows that men and women use language in different ways, which all too often leads to male-female mis-communication. It looks at how, although the dominance approach and the difference approach are the two main viewpoints in analysing gender and language, some linguists have taken a position somewhere in between the two. It explores these theories and concludes with the author's viewpoint on the subject.
From the Paper
"The dominance theory emphasizes the idea that linguistic differences in women and men's language exist as a result of men's power and women's subordination. The dominance approach considers linguistic differences to be a result of traditional social differences i.e. that of man in the role of power, and woman in the role of submission. Man's authority and woman's inferiority are mirrored through their linguistic behaviour. This research focuses mainly on a variety of features, such as the use of tag questions, interruptions, questions, standard forms and minimal responses."

?Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus?, 2004.
This paper discusses communication and family relations in ?Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? by John Gray.

Abstract
This paper explains that John Gray?s best-selling book, ?Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?, famous for its insights on the nature and differences of men and women, also relates to the family institution, its nature, structure, and dynamics because the process of communication between men and women is the core of the marital relationship. The author points out that Gray?s discussion of communication between men and women is mainly divided into three categories: (1) different meanings in statements expressed by Martians (men) and Venusians (women); (2) different social realities between Martians and Venusians; and (3) possible solutions and suggestions that reconcile the problem of gendered communication in the context of the family institution. The paper states that, in terms of relating with others, the book describes men as individuals who give importance to ?power, competency, efficiency, and achievement?, while women are often regarded as more focused on issues of ?love, communication, beauty, and relationships?.
From the Paper
"In effect, language and perceived social realities are expressed differently across gender: ?Men are more likely to use language to accomplish the job at hand than to nourish relationships? traditionally, female speech often contains statements of sympathy and empathy.? These differences may or may not result to adversarial or harmonious relationships, but what is certain is that communication between men and women will not always depend on these dichotomies, as Gray always assert in his book. More importantly, effectiveness of relationships will also rely on men and women?s attitude and behavior toward each other, specifically individual personalities, regardless of the kind of language and form of communication that they use to interact with others."

Aggression in Men and Women, 2002.
Discusses the psychological and biological theories regarding the differences in aggressive behaviour between men and women.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
There are differences between aggression in men and women, which may have a biological basis, but are also tempered by psychological parameters and socialization issues. The paper shows that in animals, aggression is usually studied in terms of behavior alone, but in humans aggression encompasses the intention to harm another person, some form of behavior carried out as a result of this intention, and an emotion which can be anything from mere irritation to outright rage. While there are no clear statistics available, males usually tend to be more aggressive than females in terms of physical and verbal aggression. The paper shows that a still unanswered question is how much of this difference is biological and how much is psychological. Differences are not only found between genders, but also with age and education (aggression decreasing with increasing age and education level), and between different ethnic groups.
From the Paper
"While biological theories propose that there is a chemical basis for the differences in aggressiveness between males and females, psychological theories propose that aggressiveness is a learned response rather than an innate one. Although genetic makeup may give someone a propensity for aggressive tendencies, these tendencies can be positively or negatively affected by socialization and environmental influences (Colt and Kuehn, 1998). It has been shown by many studies that females exhibit less physical aggression than males from infancy onward (Fishbein, 1992). They are less inclined to explore and engage in less rough and tumble play than boys do. Females are raised differently than males, and this is in part responsible for suppressing aggressive tendencies in females."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus?, John Gray uses analogies and metaphors to explain the distinct differences between men and women. According to Gray, these differences need to be accepted and appreciated in order to have fulfilling and successful relationships.
From the Paper
"Gray begins his book by describing how one day Martians were looking through their telescopes and spied the inhabitants of Venus. So taken with the image of women, the Martians hurriedly invented space travel. When they arrived on Venus, the women welcomed them, for they had intuitively been expecting them. Each appreciated the differences in the other and life was grand. However, when they moved to Earth, amnesia set in and men and women forgot that they were supposed to be different. The men and women forgot everything they had learned about each other and hence, have been in conflict ever since (Gray 9)."

The Renaissance Man and Woman, 2007.
This paper defines the qualities of the ideal Renaissance man or woman.
1,162 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 40.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the qualities deemed necessary for one to be considered a renaissance man or woman. These characteristics are taken from literary sources of the Renaissance. The features of the Renaissance man and woman suggest at once a superficial concern with appearances and at the same time an appreciation for the innate talents and abilities of every human being. The author takes issue with the lack of morality placed on the Renaissance man or women.
From the Paper
"Physical prowess and mastery of weaponry are essential skills for Castiglione's Renaissance man. Both men and woman are victims of their physical endowments. According to Castiglione, being too tall or too short can hinder the development of a man's athletic skills (p. 34). The Renaissance man is also literally well-rounded: he should be agile and strong, with "shapely" limbs (Castiglione, p. 30, line 26). Renaissance women must also fulfill specific requirements. Though they should develop their bodies as well as their minds, Renaissance women should not undertake strenuous activities, as even dancing too energetically can impede her "womanly sweetness," (Castiglione, p. 35, line 192). Neither men nor women should take sport--or anything else--too seriously because being well-rounded is more important than being a specialist. At the same time, both Castiglione and Alberti infer an appreciation for the diligent development of specific talents and skills, whether tennis, dancing, or archery. Therefore, the ideal person is not a dilettante. When the Renaissance man or woman becomes proficient at something, he or she can show that skill off in polite company, though without conceit. Being what modern people would call "cool" is a key component of the Renaissance ideal. Castiglione calls that feature "nonchalance," and the Renaissance man and woman should be talented and modest at the same time."

Men and Women as Consumers, 2002.
A discussion of who is the better shopper, man or woman and what makes them better.

Abstract
This paper examines the role of men and women as consumers. It looks at how they view shopping, use different products and think differently about coupons and sale prices. It evaluates the standard stereotypes, that women shop for food and clothes while men for cars and homes andshows how these sterotypes have not changed even though the roles of men and women in society is constantly changing.
From the Paper
"Most women's main role is to take care of the family, even if they work, so they tend to do make a majority of purchases related to home and the family. This makes them more familiar with products, prices, sale times, and bargain hunting. In fact, more and more advertising is being geared to women, because advertisers realize they are responsible for the bulk of purchases for the family. Many more women are also taking responsibility for major purchases, such as homes and cars, and even investing, and advertising reflects this. Watching television advertising, you see more ads geared to women, including car ads, liquor ads and investing ads."

Abstract
The relationships between men and women in Shakespeare's "King Lear", John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and James Joyce's "Ulysses" all reflect certain power structures in the context of gender. But they also reveal the main ingredients of the human condition, as love and forgiveness also play vital roles. To be sure, these realities are about power, but they entail human dynamics as well, which include every aspect of male-female relationships. In examining each text, we begin to understand love and forgiveness are very powerful themes in each realm. There is a common theme of a spiritual journey for each man and woman.
