Children's Views On Occupations And Sex Stereotyping
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Children understand a lot more than adults tend to give them credit for, which speaks to the reason why they comprehend seemingly grand and complex issues without ever having anything explained. The presence of television, radio and newspapers allows children access to what happens in their world; while some of this information is too sophisticated for their somewhat simple minds, other issues – such as occupations and sex stereotypes – are quite intelligible even at their young age. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Comparison of Feminist Theories on Motherhood and the Concept of the Goddess
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing different feminist theories on motherhood and the Goddess. Within feminist theories are different aspects regarding concepts of motherhood and the Goddess among other historical and cultural issues. Some feminists such as Sarah Ruddick see motherhood as an empowerment of women to gain a new perspective on the theories of practicality over those of military violence and through their nurturing and training of their children can aid in the peace making process. Other feminists however such as Jeffner Allen see motherhood as yet another example of men’s oppression by restricting women to domestic duties. The concept of the Goddess is also considered by Mary Daly and Carol Christ. Research on the concept of the Goddess has found that the Goddess is an extension of women’s inner self and is not seen necessarily as an omnipotent and suppressive being but one which advocates change, flexibility and nature.
