Abstract
The paper discusses how leaders like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are celebrated for their efforts in creating the Declaration of Independence and shaping our ideas about government. The paper reveals, however, that Franklin and Jefferson were both slave holders despite their promotion of democratic ideals. The paper points out seemingly hypocritical statements present in the Declaration and concludes that certain parts of the Declaration could benefit from being clarified and improved.
From the Paper
"A century after the Declaration of Independence, the United States Supreme Court had to interpret the words of the Declaration, in a lawsuit brought by Dred Scott (Burnside, 2005). Scott was a slave who had lived 13 years in a non-slave state. He sued for a declaration that he was a free citizen of the United States. The Court held, by a 7:2 majority, that the words "all men are created equal" did not apply to African Americans. The language of the judgment is a blatant display of the hypocrisy of the Declaration (Bunrside, 2005)."

Equal Rights, Equal Obligations, Equal Opportunities, 2000.

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal basis of the situation of women in the military, and relevant court cases such as Hoyt v. Florida, Taylor v. Louisiana, US vs. St. Clair, Rostker v. Goldberg, Craig v. Boren, and Schlesinger vs. Ballard. Discusses myths and truths regarding women and military service. Argues for equal rights, equal obligations, and equal opportunities within military and civilian spheres.
From the paper:
"Men and women are treated unequally in regards to military service. Men are required to register for the Selective Service when they turn 18, while women are exempt. While women are allowed to perform most jobs in the military, they are still restricted from some combat roles. This gender inequality stems from antiquated notions of female weakness and domesticity, which have no legal validity in our society today. Furthermore, limiting women?s roles in the military violates women?s rights to be full and equal citizens of the United States, with all the privileges, obligations, and duties that carries with it."

Abstract
This is a critical essay on Richard Wright's short story, The Man Who Was Almost a Man. This tale is a twisted parody of the hunt, where a boy becomes a man by learning to take responsibility for his actions and doing what is best for himself. This parody shows the protagonist?s desire to become a respected equal among the other adults with whom he feels he has earned the right to belong, through his growing age and hard work in the fields. The paper includes many quotes from the story exploring themes and symbolism.
From the Paper
"Wright subverts a typical hunt genre to create a parody of a boy reaching manhood. In ?The Man Who Was Almost a Man,? the protagonist, Dave, tries to reach his potential as an adult and earn respect from other men. However, his position in society as a downtrodden adolescent, who toils like a workhorse, does not allow him the dignity he deserves. By shooting the mule, he is given a chance to become a man in the only avenue available to him; he runs away on the train to find a new future. ?Ahead the long rails were glinting in the moonlight, stretching away to somewhere, somewhere where he could be a man?? (1128). This newfound freedom and manhood, which comes from his first ironic kill, satisfies the rite of passage in the hunt and brings him the independence and responsibly he deserves. "

Abstract
This paper addresses inequalities in the workplace, specifically as they affect women and persons over age fifty. The paper discusses how the Equal Opportunity Employment Act should be applied and enforced by employers, as well as methods in which human resources professionals should structure their EEO Policy in accordance with the law.
From the Paper
"America, one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in the world, foremost in the fight for freedom, justice and equal rights of all people, still has not achieved equal opportunities for certain groups of people on our own home land. Workplace discrimination has prevented certain groups of people from attaining jobs, which they were otherwise qualified for, but were denied on the basis of race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion or disability. Age discrimination is one of the least discussed topics of discrimination; however, it still remains a widely practiced phenomenon."

Equal Pay for Equal Work, 2004.
This paper discusses that, regardless of everything that has been achieved by women in the workplace, parity in remuneration between the genders is still to be attained.
2,705 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 81.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains the disparity in remuneration among the sexes and indicates that women, who are engaged full-time work, receive roughly 80% of men?s hourly remuneration. The author stresses that it has been made legally mandatory in the U.S. to apply uniform remuneration for uniform employment to speed up the progression of bringing in parity. The paper points out that a significant factor in the pay disparity is the fact that women are more often engaged in part-time work, which pays less proportionally than the full-time equivalent.
From the Paper
"The major noticeable effects on the remuneration of females are the choice to bear children. Eighty percent of women attain motherhood at certain stages in their life, and twenty five percent of women are engaged in part-time assignments; therefore an increased percentage of women?s life during the earning years is used outside their work. Women, who are the main nurturers for their offspring, are aware of the duties of being a mother while deciding about nature of jobs, and several women prefer occupations where there is more freedom and remunerations are comparatively less. Taking into account those alternatives, weighing the relative salaries of men and women is a misapplication of figures and a vilely deceptive assessment."

Women and Equality, 2008.
An outline of a proposed paper to explore whether men and women are equal in contemporary Canadian society.
946 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents an outline for a paper that will look at the recent history of the feminist movement and explore legislation on affirmative action, domestic violence issues, issues pertaining to workplace harassment and sexual assault and on matters relating to equal pay for equal work. The paper explains that the research will look at the legal and institutional apparatuses which have sprung up in recent decades to protect women and whether those apparatuses are actually working. The paper further explains that the proposed research will conclude by arguing that the quality of citizenship and democracy in Canada is profoundly compromised if half of the population is being treated unequally.
From the Paper
"The structure of my argument will proceed from broad to narrow - or at least it will do so as much as possible. Depending upon the sources available to me, I would like to start out by looking at the history of the women's movement in Canada from around 1970 onward, paying special attention to any benchmark achievements or successes that have taken place since that time. Of course, before going into this matter in great depth, I will most likely contextualize the issue by looking at the status of women before that date (although I really do not want to spend a great deal of time upon it). With the historical background out of the way, I will examine the situation as it presently stands. In particular, I will try to use scholarly databases which provide up-to-date information on rape statistics and the number of women to be found in non-traditional occupations or positions (such as senior management). Ultimately, I hope to use specific examples of where women are in ascendance or where they are still lagging behind; I may also discover that the concerns many women have about various issues are unfounded."

Concepts within the Declaration of Independence, 2002.
This paper traces some of the historical steps that led to the words in the Declaration of Independence: ?We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, ? .?

Abstract
This paper points out that the idea of democracy in the the Declaration of Independence wasn?t new; ancient Greece had been ruled by a modified form of democracy that gave the right to vote to the upper echelons of male citizens. The paper explains that the ideas upon which the Declaration of Independence began with discoveries in science that revealed that our physical world was governed by predictable rules, by cause and effect. The author believes that John Locke had the most profound effect on the thinking of the men who would eventually shape the Constitution of the United States.
From the Paper
"In reports of the events leading up to the American Revolution, the King of England is often depicted as a dictator who pronounced law as he saw fit based on his absolute power. However, the notion of a monarch with absolute power was not the standard for most of European history. The agreement signed after the Norman victory in 1066 required that the King share some of his power with representatives from the nobility. The idea that kings ruled by divine right was put forth by Jean Bodin in 1576 and embraced by James I of England. Oliver Cromwell embraced the idea and dissolved the Parliament, which although not a true democracy, provided some checks and balances for the ruler."

The Equal Rights Amendment, 2005.
This paper explains women's right to vote and sexual discrimination as a basis of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

Abstract
This paper discusses the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) whose components are sexual discrimination and women's right to vote, which provide an equality of the sexes in American society. The paper explains that although the amendment has not yet passed through Congress, the objective of Paul's vision was to create a law that would identify women with men on an equal legal basis. The paper continues that by giving greater freedoms to women to enact their rights as voters, women should then have the rights as men, to be viewed through the same apparatus that should protect both sexes in a court of law.
From the Paper
"This legal study will analyze the two components of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) that forged the women's right to vote, as well as the banning of sexual discrimination in American society and law. By understanding the text of the ERA, one can realize these two important components of this proposed legal action for the equality of the sexes. The first section of the Equal Rights Amendment is a component, which has been based on the issues of women's right to vote, as applied in the 19th amendment: "Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex." (Paul para.1)"

The History of Equality, 2001.
This paper traces the development of the concept of "Equality".

Abstract
An historical review of "equality". It traces the development of the concept through the works of philosophers and novelists in the 16th-21st centuries. It examines documents such as the Declaration of Independence, works of the philosophers in the Enlightenment and into modern day.
From the paper:
"We have all heard the phrase ?all men are created equal? hundreds and probably even thousands of times in our lives, and precisely because we have heard them all so many times we do not in general attend carefully to what they mean. This paper examines briefly the merits of the statement that all men ? and we shall move beyond the exclusive language of the 18th century to include women also ? are created equally. In doing so, we will consider the phrase both literally and in the spirit that it was originally intended to be taken."

"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."

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."

Equality, 2002.
A satirical argument on equality.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper humorously examines the steps required in order to form a totally equal society. It looks at how equal opportunity is supposed to ensure that everybody is treated the same, yet this can never be a reality in the current situation. No matter how equally everyone is treated, people cannot help but see the differences. It proposes that the only effective way of ensuring people do not judge others on their differences, is for the differences to be hidden from humans. With individual differences hidden, the black man is treated the same as the Indian and the white man and the woman is treated the same as the man. It also suggests using technology to alter brain patterns to change perception so that the features of people are not noticed by individuals. People will either need to be seen as identical, or not seen at all.
From the Paper
"Another option is for people to be viewed not as themselves, but as identical human constructs. One form of a person can be selected and virtual reality technology used so that each person appears as this construct. It is noted however, that the decision of what form the construct will take, will be a controversial one. If a white man is chosen, this will communicate that the white man is the perfect form. To prevent this, the construct will have to be gender and culture neutral. This may mean having the construct as a combination of characteristics, or having it completely free of characteristics. The construct may be in a form that does not represent any cultural group, such as being purple in color, or it may have no such form, such as appearing like a stickperson."
