Military institutionalization refers to the outcome of military socialization. it is the development of habits and ideologies that steam from routine. The textbook suggests that military socialization breeds masculine ideologies and a fixation on the physical self, that is, the “hyper-masculine soldier.” According to Military Sociology,” “efficient cardio-vascular systems, strength, agility, and overall tolerance to hardship, represent the particular attributes toward which military basic training and continuation training is oriented.”…
The author of the essay, “Military Women in Combat, Why Making It Official Matters”, Jena McGregor starts right off by telling you the topic she will cover. She starts the essay with the sentence, “It’s been a big couple of weeks for women in the military” to draw in her audience by leaving them intrigued from something that hasn’t changed in years. After using that sentence to catch the audience’s attention, she then states, “Last week, female soldiers began formally moving into jobs in previously all-male battalions, a program that will later go Army-wide” as a strong thesis. McGregor goes on to talk about how many jobs have opened to women in the military by the rules getting changed. Although she adds this huge fact she also added how…
Ladies merit more regard. For a long while now, ladies have been taking part in the military, which, obviously, initially just permitted men. During the time of their interest, ladies have shown that they are pretty much as able as their male partners. A year ago was an especially critical year for female troopers as they were at long last permitted to move into legions that were in the past all male. Jena McGregor, an author for the Washington Post, kept in touch with her considerations on this chronicled accomplishment for ladies in her piece "Military Women in Combat: Why making it Official Matters.…
As a modern, growing country America has supposedly overcome ideas such as strict traditional gender roles. Author Tarak Barkawi confronts this issue as he argues we have missed an area in our United States military. His article published in 2012 titled, “Equality in Army and Society”, harshly challenges the rules and regulations in the U.S army against women’s rights. Barkawi’s main point is, women do not have the same career opportunities due to traditional roles, masculinity in the military, and civilian ideas of gender roles. Barkawi states, “the army is one of the last redoubts of traditional masculinity”.…

In the passage “Policy: Women in combat” the author talks about reasons why women can not and should not be in combat positions. However, in the lines of these two things seemed to be blurred rather than concrete. The passage gave an example of articles that emphasize this belief. They gave the article that former senator of virginia wrote which was a clear outline of common reasons as to why women should not be in combat. Some of the reasons he listed is as follows: that the fact women can get pregnant is seen as a weakness, that physically and emotionally they are not strong enough, and finally that they would distract the soldiers from the task at hand.…
Even though the trend headed toward masculinity, designers attempted to continue to accentuate a woman’s shape. “Women’s military uniforms were cut in a masculine “V” shape mimicking men’s uniforms and the male figure with its strong shoulders, yet they were tailored to women’s bodies highlighting the bust and waist” (Hall). Although these women would be taking on an arguably masculine role, they were able to look professional and…
Our society has always put women up on a pedestal, as so many have thought that to be accurate. To take them off that pedestal and put them in the middle of ground operations has been the concern for so many years. The future is here and now and our government has decided to change the culture everyone is so accustomed to knowing. Stereotypes have been placed on women’s ability to “keep up” with men in regards to their physical abilities. The Army Physical Fitness Test comprises of two minutes of both push-ups and…
In today's world, heavy weightings of females tend to attach to the police and military forces, which put an unprecedented strain on some individuals who believe that it is unsuitable work for women; however, from my perspective, although this can produce moderately positive effect, its negative consequences are by far more than the advantages Were women to accredit for a more community-oriented style of policing, its profound impacts, which are inexorably linked, would certainly reflect on the society as a whole. It is substantially as a consequence of the fact that as women scarcely react violently in enormously dangerous situations, whereas listening to offenders, they can make a more reasonable decision than their men counterparts. In developed…

The military is a standard in itself and every branch of the military has a structure. This organization is only as strong as the people who form this structure. Each of these people all abide by standards, which were formed to keep this Army structurally sound. Every individual is already programed with moral values, the Army just relies on soldiers to bring these standards forward. While it is important to have principles of our own, the Army has values it follows, and we must enforce and maintain the standards set forth to sustain the Army.…
Females can do the same jobs males do or maybe even better in some cases. When you think of the people fighting on the front lines in combat you think of males, because they 're normally on the army posters. Women can make a big difference in the armed forces and contribute as well as the men. Vernice Armour says, "Bottom line is if you can do the job, you should be out there doing it... man or a woman" (picture caption).…
