Abstract
This essay evaluates Yee's paper from the perspective of a Chinese female student who has immigrated to Canada. This review of Yee's article states, "Yee's paper will prove of interest to various readers interested in women's issues, the experience of Chinese newcomers in Canada at a particular time. As a contribution to feminist perspectives, the paper is most helpful in fully explaining the sense of difference that is felt by some Chinese women and, of course, in its most interesting comparisons between the Chinese countryside as visited by Yee in young adulthood, and the very different reality of the Toronto that has been home to her for most of her life."

Abstract
This paper examines how race and gender are distorted by the media and how this distortion influences reality. The writer discusses how the American public has created a universal understanding of what they believe about Black America through images presented by the media. In addition, the writer believes that the imagery presented in the media of women has gradually slanted towards more straightforward sexist imagery and language. The writer also discusses the power implications resulting from these images. The writer concludes that the media needs to take responsibility for their actions and illustrate women as more than just an outline in front of a black screen - but as individuals who raise children and create change in society.
From the Paper
"A filmmaker's ultimate role is to properly present images in sequence that tell a story and/or conveys a message or several of them. With various imagery tools, movies present a message in a way that makes them seem natural and fitting for the context that it is presented in. Whether it's a horror movie, documentary or educational film, the media gives us ways of imagining particular groups, identities and situations (Bronton & Stafford 141). This is most often defined as a stereotype."

Abstract
The paper examines McClintock's argument in "Double Crossings: Madness, Sexuality and Imperialism" that mental illness has been constructed as a condition, not only of sexual deviance but also of racial deviance, in dangerous liaison with each other. The paper explains that the context of this argument is South Africa during the 1930s, where a white woman became pregnant with a black man. She was labeled with premature senile dementia and confined for life to a mental institution. The paper examines the issues involved in this narrative of Bessie Emery and her daughter, the novelist Bessie Head, that include gender, race and colonialist hegemony.

Understanding Race Issues, 2006.
This paper explores racial issues in relation to the action genre of martial arts film, focusing on Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon."
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, $ 44.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines "Enter the Dragon" that reflects Bruce Lee's innovation in fighting style and racial points of view in the filmmaking process. This film does provide some poor racial stereotypes of Asian actors, but certainly the alliance between Clouse and Lee helped to forge a greater respect for martial fighting and Asian cultural values in general. The paper points out that Lee accomplished this film not only to expand the frontiers of martial arts, but also make the world realize that they are part of a universal family.
From the Paper
"The aim of this film study will be to examine the role of race issues in the action genre of martial arts cinema. By studying the way that race is portrayed in the film: "Enter the Dragon" (1973), one can realize the Asian stereotypes that are exhibited through Robert Clouse's directorship. However, Bruce Lee helped to transform the Asian martial film into a more international phenomenon, bringing forth a greater multicultural race integration on top of this burgeoning Asian sub-genre. In essence, Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" offers a difficult, yet intriguing perspective on race relations between the east and the west in Asian martial arts film. The action genre has been a stable and enduring part of modern cinema."

Abstract
This three page undergraduate paper examines societal conditions from the perspective of a Black woman. The writer conducts this analysis as though an urban Black American woman living during the Industrial Era. This provides the writer with a greater appreciation for present-day freedoms, for nearly all of them were unavailable to Black women at that time. The writer would have lived under segregation, would have had no right to vote and would have had no minimum wage protection, if in fact holding a job.
From the Paper
"Imagining myself as an urban Black American woman living during the Industrial Era provided me with a greater appreciation for my present-day freedoms, for nearly all of them were unavailable to Black women at that time. I would have lived under segregation, I would have had no right to vote, and I would have had no minimum wage protection, if in fact I even had a job. As Franklin and Moss (2000) note, many other advantages would also have been unavailable to me then, such as primary, secondary, and higher education opportunities, college loans, and affirmative action programs."

Race, Gender, and the Banking Industry, 2004.

Abstract
This study examines the nature and effects of race and gender on managerial progression within the investment banking industry. It attempts to prove that race and gender have the potential to negatively impact a minority?s ability to progress in the industry. Successful advancement opportunities, in theory, should be contingent upon an individual?s skills, abilities and work history; unfortunately, time and time again, this theory has been disproved by statistical data, which indicates that race and gender do, in fact, impact on employees' potential for achievement. The study focuses on the managerial progression of candidates, both male and female, of minority and non-minority descent within the U.S. and the U.K. It also details the importance of developing more comprehensive recruiting and promotional activities targeted specifically toward these populations. The paper concludes that equality measures implemented thus far have not been efficient in attracting and promoting candidates.

From the Paper
"Research also reveals that at least within the United States, finding African American presence among the highest levels of responsibility at Wall Street firms including financial institutions and investment banks is not nearly as difficult in modern times as in historical times (McCoy, 1992). Black finance professionals have actually ?built impressive track records with their own investment firms? (McCoy, 1992).
The good news however is tempered by statistics that reveal that in general there are still very few African-Americans and like minded minorities working in managerial positions overall within the nation?s leading investment banks (McCoy, 1992). This is even truer for minority women, who often face double discrimination, being an ethnic minority and being a woman. Statistics also reveal that few black finance professionals are currently ?coming through the pipeline? to help statistics (McCoy, 1992)."

Abstract
This paper examines how African-Americans struggled to resist stereotypes of race and gender in the face of hostile and aggressive racism and how white southerners had for generations 'owned' their African-American counterparts making the struggle for equality and respect a long and difficult process. It discusses how, although it is important not to underestimate the achievements of African-American women, especially, the vitriolic hostility and fervent racism meant certain white constructed race and gender roles, still live on in the south.
From the Paper
"The oppressive nature of slavery had had dramatic effects on African American gender roles. As the slaves were property of the plantation master, there was no need for males to act as the family head or providers. Stanley Elkins argues the severity of the slave regime crippled the slave personality, which therefore made slaves unable to partake in any actions that would resemble those of an organised community. Elkins believed that the severe mental trauma resulted in a defensive response, manifested in a loss of individuality, and instead created one uniform psychologically handicapped personality, which he termed 'Sambo.'

Abstract
This essay looks at advertising and the way race and gender are represented in today's ads. The essay argues that gender and racial inequality and stereotyping are very much present in advertising today and that this furthermore serves the advertising needs. The essay also looks at how advertising directly influences what we see in the media and how advertisers only goal is profit making which is best served by the consumerist culture we live in today.
From the Paper
"Advertising is very important in today's society and have been for over 30 years, if only simply because it cannot be avoided. Ads are a major part of mass media and the mass media has a great advantage of being able to reach a large number of people in a very short time. In large industrial societies media takes on a mass scale so that television, radio, newspapers, magazines and now the Internet link tens of millions of people, and influence the way they think and spend their time and money."

Race, Class and Gender in "Always Running", 2008.
A review of the impact of race, class and gender in Luis Rodriguez' memoir, "Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Luis Rodriguez' memoir, "Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A." It particularly discusses how identity is shown to be a prison of race, class and gender in which few young Mexican-Americans are able to escape. The paper gives examples from the text that illustrate how the very first social interactions of Latino youth in Los Angeles are severely impacted by their undeniable Mexican-American identity.
From the Paper
"Another substantial iron bar of Rodriguez's prison was that of Gender. Clearly, male bravado played a big part in the early teen trouble-making years of Luis and his fellow gang-members. One example closely follows a summer expedition to the beach with some friends--both male and female. Rodriguez tells the story of young teens at the beach, flirting and fondling--interrupted by the local police. One thing that is interesting is his description of one of the female's body rising from the water after being thrown in by one of his friends. It is the first detailed account of the female form, and the account's graphic nature shows that his interest in becoming desirable to women has now become important. This description of his subject of interest, Hermie, is harshly broken up by the young group's run-in with the local law-enforcement. The reason this seems significant is because when Rodriguez gets home, his mother scolds him for being a trouble maker, saying: "You have to work, to help us out here. You're a big man now." The close relationship between his graphic memory of untouchable Hermie and his inability as provider for his family shows that his role as a man amidst all the other social challenges had just added more height to his mountain."

Abstract
The writer researched the topic of gender, social class and race, by interviewing a Jamaican nurse and single mother; an English white male immigrant to Canada; and a female doctor of colour. The paper examines the testimony produced, discusses feminist research; and further examines how to dispel stereotypes
From the Paper
"This paper was researched in a north Toronto hospital's emergency waiting room and coffee shop. I had gone to the hospital with a friend who was ill. Over the course of a 3-hour wait, I recalled my paper and began to speak to strangers, including 2 women and one man, all Canadian citizens. I gained different ideas of how race, class and gender can influence one's life experience with much to bring into question what is assumed of Canadian society, showing the disadvantages faced by women, by people born to less privileged backgrounds, and the not Caucasian.

Race, Gender, and Latin American Eugenics, 2008.
This essay discusses Nancy Leys Stepan's "The Hour of Eugenics: Race, Gender, and Nation in Latin America" and evaluates how theories of "racial improvement" aided modernization in Latin America.

Abstract
This paper discusses the conceptualization of 'science' as purely objective and entirely distanced from the influences of politics. Specifically, this paper looks at the science of eugenics as extremely popular in many nations from the turn of the century until the 1940's. Instead of being purely 'science', as many conceptualized, eugenics was used to justify racial segregation and oppression, in Europe, North America and also in Latin America. According to Nancy Leys Stepan, simply because Latin American eugenics was not used as a tool of state policy on the same level of brutality as in Nazi Germany, does not mean that it was not still deployed by scientists and state officials alike to control human behavior.
From the Paper
"Latin American eugenics was driven by the desire to purify the physical appearance and morality of the nation. Gender, and the presumed inferior place of women also fueled the structure of the health policy, as monitoring the female body and creating the perfect mother was the justification for the compulsory registration of pregnant women and enforced medical exams for the 'good' of the baby and future citizen. Within the bodies of mothers, the new nation would be born, thus (as in Nazi Germany, but with a different scientific justification and emphasis on propagation rather than annihilation) the state 'owned' the body of the woman."

Poverty: Race & Gender, 1996.

From the Paper
"This paper will discuss the disparity in poverty rates between blacks and whites, focusing upon the issue of female-headed households. Specifically, this paper will argue that the increase in female-headed households in the black community has not in itself contributed to increased rates of black poverty. Rather, this phenomenon is largely the result of increased poverty among young back men. The first part of the paper will examine the trends in poverty since 1959, looking at the poverty rates for the population overall and comparing the rates for blacks and whites. The second part of the paper will discuss the relationship between poverty and the increase in female-headed households, comparing the situation in the black community with that in the white community and arguing that poverty leads to more female..."

Poverty in Canada: Exploring the Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, 2002.
An overview of the issues affecting poverty in Canada such as economic and social policy as well as race, ethnicity, immigration and migration.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is an exploration of poverty in Canada. Issues such as race, ethnicity, immigration and migration are considered in the contexts of rural and urban communities, as well as with regards to gender and class. The argument here is that Canada's transitions in economics and industry have helped to produce an institutionalized underclass who live in poverty and who have limited resources for changing the conditions of their living. This paper further indicates the ways economic and social policy need to elaborate on the needs of the poor if the underclass is to be assisted in ways that can produce a change in the populations who live in poverty.
