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."

This paper defines the qualities of the ideal Renaissance man or woman.

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."

An Officer and a Moral Man, 2000.
This paper explores the internal conflict in members of the military: following orders and following a moral code.

Abstract
This paper examines the conflict a soldier faces between following orders and following morality; military code and personal responsibility for one's actions. The author discussed the Nuremberg trials, the Geneva Convention, and the My Lai massacre.
From the Paper:
"The most obvious party responsible for what the military does is the military itself. The people who actually carry out the violence of war and those who give the direct order to do so are most clearly responsible for the results. They bear the brunt of the physical evidence that war leaves behind. Members of the armed forces are also the most at risk to face the consequences of the violence they cause because of the conflicting beliefs they are asked to hold. The concepts of personal responsibility and superior orders constitute a type of ethical doublespeak that creates a moral dilemma for military personnel."

Cognitive Differences Between Men and Women, 2005.
Examines the theory that men and women think differently from one another.

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."

Grieving Differences Between Men and Women, 2008.
A descriptive essay investigating the grieving differences between men and women.
3,571 words (approx. 14.3 pages), 20 sources, APA, $ 99.95
»

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). "

"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 ..."

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."

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."

Evolution of Men and the Differences between Races, 2002.
Examines why the long-supported thesis that different races have different capabilities and that white people are superior to colored people is not true.

Abstract
Through careful analysis discussing Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel," the paper proves that race has nothing to do with a nation's level of development. The author finds that if Europe advanced to be the main power in the Middle Ages, and North America reached its current prosperity, while Africa is still considered the Third world, although homo sapiens originated there, it is all because of chance, not innate differences between races.
From the Paper
"In the Prologue of his best-selling book, "Guns, Germs, and Steel," Jared Diamond states the main theme or that narration: Yali's question. As he worked in New Guinea for a while, he met many locals. One of them was Yali, who asked him a simple question: "Why is that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?" (Diamond 14). Diamond spends more than four hundred pages in a quest for an answer to that question. In recent publications, as well as in the past, many people believed that Europeans developed better societies (meaning technology, writing, and weapons), based on their innate superiority. It was believed that Europeans were more intelligent, had the Lord's support to conquer new territories and thus spread the Christian faith, and were physically stronger that the peoples of Africa, the Americas, or Australia and New Guinea. Diamond, after an elaborate research, dares to oppose all of these prejudiced statements, and prove them wrong."

Abstract
This paper examines the difficult transition of adolescents, as seen in the novel ?The Man Who Was Almost a Man? by Richard Wright. It summarizes the story and the main character?s gun use. The paper investigates what is masculinity and what makes a man a man.
From the Paper
"The theme of ?The Man Who Was Almost A Man? is masculinity and what makes a man a man. In an essay about gender in literary works, Jehlen recognizes that masculinity is not something men have but something they ?construct? (Jehlen 270). Dave?s construction of this masculinity is the theme of ?The Man Who Was Almost A Man.? The first point that suggests that Dave is not really a man, is his means of attaining the gun."

It looks at the literary style of the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" and discusses how this analysis helps one completely understand the story.
From the Paper
"Richard Wright was one of the greatest African American writers; he was also the first African American to have produced one of the famous novel of racism and its psychological affect on the individuals in his masterpiece "Native Son". Born in 1908 in Mississippi, Wright father left the family when he was only six years old and when he was ten his mother had a paralytic stroke and was unable to work. Wright after a formal education was forced to seek employment in order to support his family. The first half of the twentieth century was a crucial period for the African Americans, the discrimination against them had taken a different form and shape and there were little jobs available for the black people. Wright worked for a series of menial jobs, he wanted to continue his education by using the local library but the Jim Crow Laws stopped him. He nevertheless solved this problem by forging his notes and pretending that he was collecting books for a white man. Wright in this period read many of the renowned American writers such as H.L. Mencken, Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis. After passing a civil service examination Wright became a post office clerk but soon after the Wall Street Crash and the Depression this job was lost too. After a series of temporary jobs Wright found a job with the Federal Writers Project, which enabled him to write and publish his work."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes Richard Wright's book, "The Man Who was Almost a Man." It specifically discusses the book in the context of whether Dave, the main character of the story, experiences what James Joyce called 'epiphany'. It defines a Joycean epiphany and then discusses scenes and events in the story and analyzes whether or not these constitute a Joycean epiphany on the part of Dave.
From the Paper
"This moment could have served as an epiphany but it doesn't. While the entire town may have come to understand that possessing a gun cannot make you a man, it is Dave who still remains ignorant and feels that townspeople are somehow wrong about the whole thing. Instead of understanding that these people are right, Dave goes on to do what he wants to do i.e. purchase a gun. Once he is in possession of a gun, he mistakenly shoots a mule, which causes deep sense of remorse. However when townspeople laugh at him for his foolish act, Dave takes it personally and leaves the town. The fact that he leaves the town in search of a place where he would be a man, completely satisfied with having his gun with him shows that there is no epiphany to be gained. There is no moment of sudden enlightenment for him."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the main character, Dave, in Wright's novel. It considers the nature of life for young black males as represented by Wright. The paper focuses on the story and what literary critics have had to say about its meaning.
From the Paper
"Dave's motivation for wanting the gun is also made clear after he has it, where Wright (278) says "if he were holding his gun in his hand, nobody could run over him; they would have to respect him." For Dave then, the gun is a way for him to gain control and force people to respect him. It is also relevant that a gun is an object that gives one power and not a way that one becomes personally powerful. This emphasizes that Dave is not actually making himself more powerful and overcoming his repression. Instead, he is just gaining a means of making people respect him. In short, he is attempting to take his power back by force. Even in gaining the gun though, Dave does not actually achieve this aim. Instead, he shows his confusion because he does not know what to do with the gun once he has it. Most importantly, he continues to act as if he is powerless by sneaking away to use his gun. "

Moral Standards and Moral Consistency, 2008.
This paper explores the moral standards in the associations of Eberhard Faber, Incorporated.
1,049 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines the decision to allow Eberhard Faber to associate with known bribe-givers. The paper is of the opinion that this association seems like an affront to the moral consistency requirement demanded of any credible moral standard. The paper contends that respecting the law in some, but not in all, circumstances makes a mockery of the organization's avowed commitment to legal dictates and therefore is inherently immoral.
From the Paper
"Before going too far, the stakeholders in this situation need to be listed. Obviously, the share-holders of Eberhard Faber are one significant stake-holder; so too is the Board of Directors and, especially, the key principals (Mr. Faber and Mr. Carey) who offer widely divergent views on how to approach this matter. Not to be forgotten, the other company involved is a stake-holder as it could lose a major deal with an American company - a deal it would seem to covet. Lastly, IRS and legal consultants who convinced Mr. Faber that the deal was above-board and breached no US laws are stake-holders with credibility on the line (for a lengthier discussion on all of these parties, please see "Eberhard Faber, Inc.," n.d.). In the end, many people stand to win - or lose."
