Abstract
This paper discusses the women of China and the progress they've achieved over the last hundred years. The paper reviews how at the beginning of the 20th century, women throughout China, regardless of class or level of prestige, were subject to a number of traditional practices that gave them little or no freedom. Some of these traditional practices, such as foot binding, often resulted in terrible mutilations. Despite this, Chinese history does contain some notable female figures of prestige, and modern women have many of the same rights as their male counterparts.

Abstract
This paper examines how gender discrimination effects everyone and overlays an additional burden to any true minority and how every man, no matter his race or religion, has a mother and most have sisters, wives and friends who are women effected by gender discrimination. It evaluates the conflict among the experts about just how much effect the combination of race and gender discrimination has upon the individual. It also looks at how the literature associated with discrimination often links race and gender in the same category.
From the Paper
"Though the overwhelming statistical and behavioral research indicates that the problem of gender discrimination will be hard met and that solutions are complicated and hard to employ, there are many social theorists who argue plans of action that both make sense and will hopefully help the problem. In the past some of the responses to the difficulties that arise when a mixed gender competitive system is in play have been answered with further discrimination, usually leveled against women, something similar to the mythical ?separate but equal? that was offered to black children during an earlier era, and interestingly ruled against in the era that allowed these law schools to openly discriminate against women. ?The twentieth century actually produced retrogression rather than progress. The handful of medical schools that had opened to women in the nineteenth century reduced their offerings in the early 1900s."

Abstract
Discrimination continues to be a serious issue in business today. Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) monitors and investigates issues regarding discrimination based on race, gender, age, religion, and sexual harassment, employees continue to face discrimination in the workplace. This paper discusses issues of gender discrimination in the hiring process and wage determination, as well as the writer's opinion on the subject.
From the Paper
"It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer- (1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his/her gender? (Bennett-Alexander, Hartman). The Equal Pay Act states that employees must be paid the same or comparable wages based on the job description. Regardless of the gender of the employees, if they are performing comparable tasks or job assignments, they must be paid similarly."

It provides the strengths and limitations of popular definitions of each concept and indicates the importance of each concept to the study of contemporary society. The paper describes the importance of a keen understanding of terms like class, gender and discrimination.
From the Paper
" Library Research Journal: Definitions and Explanations of Class, Gender and Discrimination Class, Gender and Discrimination are items that are very important in any sociological discussion of our times. As society remains fractured along class, race, sex, ethnicity and a host of other divisions, knowing what these concepts are as well as their applicability to contemporary matters is very important. The following paper will provide definitions of the aforementioned concepts, an example showing application of each concept, some commentary on the concept and copies of the source page from which information on the concepts is drawn. In the final analysis, what should emerge is a recognition that these concepts are somewhat more complicated than they might otherwise appear."

Abstract
The paper examines how, when people discuss gender relations, specifically gender discrimination in the Canadian workplace, they usually conduct their discussion on the presumption that there are only two genders - male and female. The writer proposes that gender relations have become much more complex than this, and the paradigm of just two, opposite genders is increasingly being challenged. The paper analyses some of the repercussions of this aspect of gender relations in the Canadian workplace. There is a rising tide of gender activists who are questioning the binary paradigms that pervade our thinking about gender relations, e.g. man OR woman, gay OR straight, etc.

"This study assumes that gender discrimination is still a concrete problem in the workplace during the 21st century. According to Deborah Kolb and Linda Putnam, there are few legitimate empirical studies that have been adequately conducted regarding men and women related to salary and other financial negotiations. Of the studies that have been conducted, some differences between the treatment of men and women have been identified however. Research specific to salary negotiation has indicated that women in general realize lower returns resulting from salary negation efforts (Kolb & Putnam, 1997)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes three articles that relate to issues in contemporary China. It specifically examines "Rebuilding the Party's Normative Authority: China's Socialist Spiritual Civilization Campaign. Problems of Post-Communism" by Feng Chen, "Dilemmas of Thought Work in Fin de Siecle China" by D. C. Lynch and "Economic Reform and Ideological Decay: the Decline of Ideology, in Riding the Tiger - the Politics of Economic Reform in Post-Mao China" by Gordon White.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Reform and Ideology
Lynch on 'Thought Work'
Gordon White and Riding the Tiger
Feng Chen
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When studied after Lynch's paper and White's early 1990s summary, Feng Chen's work seem on target. He shows the Party's intellectuals and ideologists inventing work for themselves according to 'human interest' topics such as crime, removing unwholesome influences, bringing on patriotic education for the young - and these do point to some sort of socialist function. Ironically, the CCP is to run the Chinese state whose shifts to capitalism bring social problems and work towards correcting the social problems created. Feng Chen's discussion is effective in the irony of the CCP being unable to make a "normative order" according to socialism when nearly all else it pursues is so geared to capitalism. (41) An alert reader too will see that none of this matters because the Chinese show in different ways that, first and foremost, they want the benefits of capitalism. It seems like the CCP can have its moralizing intellectual and ideological "role" if it wants, because the Chinese want to be employed and have buying power. Also, they see the clear failings of capitalism as pursued by an archaic Party in millions of visibly poor people and the migrant worker population that is mentioned by others as a strong defect of the present system. If a reader follows the Chinese press, he or she can begin to think like an everyday Chinese who does not expect accuracy from the state media, does expect to be given some message of what it means to be a Chinese citizen, how China will be "great" of course, and as Feng Chen added, some instruction to do as the Party suggests.

Abstract
This paper addresses gender discrimination in the Canadian labour force. The paper makes the argument that there is a wage gap between men and women in Canada. The paper discusses theories as to why this wage gap may exist and if this is likely to change in the future.
From the Paper
"Gender Discrimination in the Canadian Labour Force Gender discrimination continues to be a problem in the Canadian workforce. Women in particular are still experiencing a wage gap in the labour force. According to Lois Moorcroft in Newfoundland Women Want Pay Equity Too, "...Full-time working women still earn only 72.5 per cent of men's salaries" (Moorcroft 2005: 6). A great deal of time and effort is being spent in order to try and rectify this situation. For example, In the 1950s, the federal government and seven of the ten provinces enacted legislation enabling 'equal pay for equal work (England and Gad 2002: 283)."

Abstract
This paper investigates the claim that girls are discriminated against within the American education system. The paper begins with a definition of key terms and a review of the research on gender inequality in schools. The differing viewpoints on the topic are considered and the causes and influences of gender bias are looked at. Discrimination amongst staff is also touched on. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving the situation.
From the Paper
"Gender equity, in education, is defined as, ?the provision of equality of opportunity and the realization of equality of results for all students based on individual aptitudes, abilities and interests, regardless of gender? (AAUW, 1999). The failure to ensure this equity is known as gender discrimination, or gender bias. Within education, the existence of gender discrimination can be determined by a wide range of factors, such as; enrollment levels; exam results; the manner in which teachers respond to, and interact with, students; the topics and materials used within the teaching process; and the manner in which the school environment and social conditions influence the students. In 1972 the US Department of Education passed Title IX, a set of amendments aimed at reforming gender inequity in schools."

Ideology and Value Change in Contemporary China, 2008.
A paper describing the ideology and development in the People's Republic of China
3,033 words (approx. 12.1 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 89.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper refers to the rather negative predictions of Maurice Meisner (1999) and Minxin Pei (2006) concerning early 21st century development in the People's Republic of China (PRC) to reflect the actual results of a high-growth capitalism pursued by a still repressive state socialist regime. The author concludes with the statement that both Meisner and Pei seem justified in their discouraging assessments of the future.
Outline:
Introduction
Maurice Meisner on Social Values
Minxin Pei on Corruption
Consumerism and Decadence
Chinese Ideology, Social Values and Poverty
Wanderers and Vagabonds
Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"When discussing capitalism, socialism and democracy, Meisner points out that the great majority of Chinese have benefited from post-Reform capitalism in better incomes, housing and spending power but this has been done at a price of terrific environmental destruction, bureaucratic corruption and indeed, peasant riots that occurred in different parts of the PRC through the 1990s. (Mao's China 532-533) There has been a rise in everyday crime including organized crime that has increased in both urban and rural areas. In 1997, the PRC executed 3000 convicts, more than the rest of the world's executions combined. (Mao's China 533) In the 1950s, the regime had worked to eradicate drug addiction and trafficking, prostitution, gambling and the activities of organized crime. Daniel Lynch commented on what he calls 'thought work' on the part of the CCP in 1980s campaigns against 'spiritual pollution' and a 1987 campaign against 'bourgeois liberalization', later crackdowns on book marketing, anti-pornography drives, and all towards a summary given by Lynch that in the 1990s this sort of effort had largely failed. (1999) Like Meisner and Pei Lynch rather expected a rise in the resentment of the dispossessed that might begin using Internet media to organize protest activities. (1999)"

Gender Discrimination and the Law, 2008.
This paper discusses the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment ensures that states cannot promulgate or enforce a law that violates constitutional freedoms. The paper discusses the three degrees of scrutiny that are applied by the courts in analyzing statutes challenged under the Equal Protection Clause. In particular, the paper looks at various gender-based court cases and focuses on a 1996 case, United States v. Virginia, and its outcome.
From the Paper
"Three degrees of scrutiny are applied by the courts in analyzing statutes challenged under the Equal Protection Clause. If a legislative classification disadvantages a "suspect class" or infringes upon the exercise of a "fundamental right," then the courts will employ strict scrutiny and the statute must fall unless the government can demonstrate that the classification has been narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest."

Abstract
While the boundaries of race and socioeconomic classes no longer keep the United States segregated, subtle forms of discrimination continue to proliferate. The bitter debates over issues like affirmative action and racial profiling illustrate how American society continues to be polarized by race and class. This paper looks at how insidious forms of discrimination continue to affect the lives of people who are marginalized by their race or socioeconomic class. The paper examines how race and socioeconomic class can affect people?s education and their subsequent educational achievements.
From the Paper
"Education is an important foundation for a person's life. Early on, the quality of education will determine where people will go to college, their career opportunities and their income potential. People who have a solid educational background are at a marked advantage over their peers. They have access to better colleges, more prestigious careers and are often able to provide the same advantages for their children.
As the Page and the Blair studies have shown, the inverse is often true for students from poorer school districts and those who are of African-American and Hispanic origin. Often, they do not have access to technology in the classrooms that improves mathematical skills and self-esteem in younger students. They are also adversely affected by unintentional bias among school administrators and teachers."

Abstract
This paper defines discrimination as an insidious factor, which prevents one or more individuals from getting the same treatment, remuneration, and opportunities that others who belong to the same category, with the same qualifications, the same abilities and capabilities get from a business enterprise, whether private or government-owned. The author points out that, in corporate discussions, men have a tendency to interrupt women and to decide on the agenda more than women interrupt men or decide on discussion topics; women?s interruptions are seen as violations of norms of subservient behavior; whereas, men?s interruptions are encouraged. The paper relates that gender discrimination is illegal according to the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which covers employers with 15 or more full-time or part-time employers and prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing and other conditions of employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Wal-Mart, the biggest supermarket in the United States has had its fair share of lawsuits involving racial discrimination, sexual harassment, age discrimination and other employment problems. The costliest is a class suit, which, if won by the accusers, could result in Wal-Mart paying hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to some 700,000 women workers. The women hope to be able to ?shatter the largest glass ceiling, at Wal-Mart,? dismantle procedures and practices and allow women workers better options at work."
