From the Paper
"One aspect of the issues raised by Nancy Chodorow in her book The Reproduction of Mothering is a variation on the nature or nurture argument, whether women mother because that is their nature or because they have been acculturated to do so. Mothering in this context has a specific meaning aside from women having children:
Women mother. In our society, as in most societies, women not only bear children. They also take primary responsibility for infant care, spend more time with infants and children than do men, and sustain primary emotional ties with infants. When biological mothers do not parent, other women, rather than men, virtually always take their place. Though fathers and other men spend varying amounts of time with infants and ..."

Abstract
This paper outlines and compares the explanations Nancy Chodorow, a preeminent social scientist, and Simone De Beauvoir, feminist author and historian, offer for the subservient role of women in society.
From the Paper
"In, ?A Room Of Her Own,? the feminist novelist and author, Virginia Woolf demonstrated that one of the reasons why women writers were in overwhelmingly low numbers than their male counterparts was because of the lack of economic opportunity. (Woolf, 1991) Victorian perceptions also saddled women with the responsibilities of motherhood and domesticity. This took away the opportunity for women (except for a few) to truly come into their own. Nancy Chodorow, a preeminent social scientist addresses the issue. (Chodorow, 1999) She does not get caught up in the traditional feminist or socialization mindset. Even psychologists, Chodorow avers, have not pursued the matter at a higher granularity. All can agree that, explicitly or implicitly, women have been subjugated. Chodorow addresses the problem using psychoanalysis."

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of what it means to say that the Canadian population is reproduced from the perspective of labor force reproduction. It discusses the effects of the intersection of fertility and immigration over labor force reproduction. It then discusses how this reproduction has shaped the economic structures of society in the interest of big business.
From the Paper
"Thus, the labor force of Canada was not biologically reproducing itself on a generational basis by the last decades of the twentieth century. In order to meet this shortfall, the Government of Canada resorted to immigration to supply a labor force to meet the demands of the Canadian economy. These demands are complex, for the Labor Force Reproduction model indicates that the economy needs a labor supply not only in terms of production but also to consume the goods produced. As a result, in the years in which the Canadian fertility rates were declining (after 1956) the Canadian immigration levels were increasing. From 1954 to 1992 Canada accepted 5.7 million immigrants. These immigrants fulfilled a wide number of economic roles in Canadian society, from contributing as business class immigrants and supplying entrepreneurial investment funds, to those who work in the commercial and corporate sectors. In addition, we must not forget the significant numbers of immigrants who worked as unpaid labor - often women - and so subsidized the paid labor force in Canada."

Labour Reproduction Force, 2008.
This paper looks at the changes in the Canadian population from a labour force reproduction perspective.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that a labour force reproduction (LFR) perspective allows insights into how populations reproduce themselves in the context of economic change, with fertility and immigration being contributory factors over time. As this essay argues, in discussing how the Canadian population is (re)produced from a LFR perspective, the use of this perspective allows us to understand critical issues of power and, in particular, who gains from such a reproduction process. In this analysis, one can see how a labour force reproduction perspective allows us to understand how fertility rates and immigration factor into postwar Canadian economic growth. The writer concludes that changes in the LFR model reflect broader economic changes under globalization that reveal how corporate interests profit significantly from this reproduction process.
From the Paper
"However, the LFR model extended far beyond the shop floor, and can be understood as part of a larger vision of social organization whereby the single-wage earning family was promoted as the primary model for both the reproduction of labour - in the form of children - as well as of consumption. Thus, industrialists such as Ford recognized that it was in the self-interests of industry that they create well-paying jobs, as these well-paid workers were also prosperous consumers of the products assembly line mass production was creating across North America. Thus, the Fordist LFR model can be seen as a cycle by which the industrial economy reproduces itself over time."

Abstract
This essay discusses how mechanical reproduction has resulted in the retreat from reality. The techno-formulation of reality, which is the mechanical reproduction of images, has served to change human perception. The problem of prime time television serves as an example of this reality, since it fosters graphic incoherence.

Abstract
Many scholars of today tend to view and analyze Aristotle's theory of reproduction and especially of the place of the female in society with sympathy. In this essay, the author argues that the purpose of Aristotle's theory of reproduction was to establish the inferiority of women to man and that he methodically deduced the conclusion that the female is an incomplete or mutilated male.

Reproduction in Art, 2005.
A review of the impact art reproductions had on media development in the 20th century.

Abstract
This paper considers the influence new forms of reproduction beginning in the nineteenth century had on the development of media in the twentieth century, noting how images could be more widely disseminated. This was certainly a change over earlier times, but also the possibility of reproduction and the actual reproduction itself, influenced media in other ways as well.
From the Paper
"The ability to make reproductions of images and of works of art has had a major influence on how media developed in the twentieth century. This change has been similar on one level to the massive change brought about when the reproduction of written works became possible with the printing press. Prior to that, books had to be made by hand, one at a time, often with elaborate illustrations and decorations called illumination. Such books were expensive and rare, and few people had access to them. The same was long true of works of art - only those able to travel to where the artwork was kept could view it."

Abstract
This paper explores technological reproductive reform and if it causes greater harm to women if they engage in these technologies or if they do not? The paper continues to discuss if reproduction is a right or a privilege. The author also considers whether the answer to this question changes when considering gender.
From the Paper
"In light of the devastating effects that being infertile has on women, through no fault of their own, at least no more fault than a person who has a heart attack, it could be argued that they have the right to reproduce or at the very least the right to choose. If a person has a fundamental right to reproduce, then society through governments, policy and legislation, has an obligation to ensure that effective reproductive technologies are affordable, safe and readily available to all individuals. Further, feminists have an obligation to lobby for the necessary changes needed to make reproductive technologies safe and beneficial and not criticize those who choose to use them."

HIV and Reproduction Rights, 2006.
A discussion on HIV infected woman and their reproduction rights.
3,145 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 29 sources, MLA, $ 91.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper tries to simplify the issue of whether women with HIV have reproductive rights. In order to do this it focuses largely on the direct relationship of HIV to both the ethical and practical aspects of women's reproductive rights. In attempting to come to a conclusion, the author of the paper tried to balance the ethical and moral dimensions of the question against the practical issues such as poverty and economics.
From the Paper
"Reproductive rights essentially refer to the fact both males ands females have the right to determine the reproductive process and child-rearing in all aspects and "The right to make decisions about reproduction must be free from discrimination, force and violence." (International Conference on Population and Development ICPD) ( ibid)
However the meaning of reproductive right extends into other areas. For example, this includes the right to non-discrimination based on sex/gender and the right to privacy as well as the right to information. The issue of the reproductive rights for women becomes problematic and often fraught with controversy when it is applied to those infected with the HIV virus. This dilemma has far-reaching implications for the millions of women with HIV throughout the world."

Abstract
Rotifers are, perhaps, one of the most interesting phyla of microscopic pseudocoelomate animals on the face of the planet. This paper looks at how the bdelloids reproduce and how have they been able to evolve successfully with asexual reproduction.
From the Paper
"The corona of the rotifer is composed of several ciliated tufts positioned around the mouth. When these tufts are in motion, they resemble a wheel, hence the name. It is the motion of these tufts that sweep food into the mouth of the rotifer and is then chewed by the mastax that contains tiny jaws. In addition to feeding, the motion of these tufts provides locomotion, pulling the rotifer through the water (Ryan, 2004). (See Images 1 ? 4)"

Abstract
In this context, it is explained how the lines between production and reproduction are blurred. The changing dynamics of the new economic system, which spans the entire globe, uses the dynamics of the family to produce commodity as well as reproduce labor to produce commodity. This essay will look furthermore at what factors went into the incorporation of women in the paid labor force in the Post-War period in Canada and how women are used by capitalism not just to reproduce labor, but also to provide low-wage labor on a large scale.

From the Paper
"COMPUTER-ASSISTED FACIAL REPRODUCTION FROM SKELETAL REMAINS
This research reviews the process of computer-assisted reproduction used in facial reconstruction from skull remains. Facial reconstruction from skeletal remains is a function of forensic anthropology (Wood, Clark, Books, and Blenkinsop 4). The purpose of this review is to illustrate the importance of computer-assisted facial reconstruction from skeletal remains to law enforcement.
The art of reconstructing a face from a skull dates to 1895 and the work of the Swiss anatomist Wilhel His (Evans 135). His determined that bone conformation yielded a clear reflection of the face.
Through the 1930s, however, the application of anthropological science to solve crimes was virtually unknown .."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the growing human population is having a devastating effect on the earth's resources. The author presents many different scenarios that support the argument that human population growth must be curbed in order to prevent the earth's destruction. Some of the materials presented include the relationship between humans and the ecosystem and how over the years, human insensitivities have progressively damaged this ecosystem. Some of the topics discussed also include how the ecosystem is affected by pollution, water shortages, global warming, increased meat and fish consumption and excessive stripping of the forests, which according to the research presented by this author, are all a result of over-population.
From the Paper
"When this occurs naturally, such as the conversion of forest to grassland due to fires by lightning, it is called ?ecosystem development or ecological succession? (Ecosystem pg). Carrying capacity refers to the number or organisms that a particular environment can support. ?If the carrying capacity of an ecosystem is exceeded by overpopulation, there will be insufficient resources and one or more species will decline? until balance is restored (Ecosystem pg). And if the population is less than the carrying capacity of an environment, then the number of a species will increase until it balances the available resources (Ecosystem pg). Humans all too often disrupt the carrying capacity of an area by over-grazing on grasslands, over-culling a species, or introducing a non-indigenous species into an area (Ecosystem pg). However, other forms of human activity are having consequential effects on the ecosystem of the planet."

Abstract
This paper examines how Israel is very much on the cutting edge and supportive of reproductive technologies, boasting more fertility clinics per capita than any other nation in the world and having fertility specialists who are global leaders in the field of reproductive technology. It also discusses how the Israeli state subsidizes this trough its national health insurance.
From the Paper
"With very few restrictions, every Israeli is eligible to receive an unlimited number of in-vitro fertilizations for free, regardless of their religion or marital status. The in-vitro fertilizations may continue until two live children have been born. The Israeli state also supports other forms of reproductive technologies. "This commitment theoretically obligates the state to subsidize hundreds of thousands of dollars of infertility treatment...as a standard part of the basic basket of health services." Legislation in the Israeli state is very comprehensive regarding reproductive technology, ensuring that it is widely available."
