As the metals are heated, they turn into a liquid which can be blended into others metals to form a new metal like how different cultures blend to form the melting pot ideal. In “Covering: The Hidden Assault on our Civil Rights”, Kenji Yoshino argues, people are hiding their individuality to comply with societal norms and become part of the mainstream. “Covering”, a commonly used term that indicates the enforcement of assimilation on the people, especially minorities who are subjected to conceal or alter their differences to be a part of the American society. Meanwhile, in “Bros Before Hos: The Guy Code”, Michael Kimmel discusses the idea of young American men developing the sense of entitlement. The eternal popularity of assimilation and melting…
In the article “4 Women’s Issues That Haven't Changed Since 1911” by Julie Zeilinger expresses the main issues about women in the past decade and the problems that still linger today. The author demonstrates four topics about women's issues that have not changed, one being “Men dominate many of the most esteemed professional fields and get paid more for their work”, which shows women are still being unrecognized in many workforces. The second issue that is expressed in the article is “work stress disproportionately impacts women” and for a women to succeed in the workplace by the expense of their physical well-being.

The Savage Deterioration of Man Charles Yale Harrison’s remorseless novel Generals Die in Bed strips war of it’s heroic mirage and examines it, rather, as brutalizing. The myths about war’s glory are destroyed by showing the sheer agony of the soldiers’ experiences in the trenches through factors such as abusive officers, lice and starvation. The aftermath of such hardship results in the psychological and emotional ramifications of desperation, barbarism and insanity on the common soldiers. The final chapter, “Vengeance,” highlights these influences revealing the significant transformation of soldiers to shells of men that they once were. Philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes believed that men, when forced out of civilization and into the environment of war, would eventually deteriorate from their honourable and brave manners.…
In the Manhood: The Elusive Goal by Mark Gerzon states that “from the sensible to the absurd, we have answers. We have many shifting, contradictory criteria for manhood that they confuses rather than inspire. “The writing is the journey of a young male into adulthood where there are many encounters of some of the many means of passage in the modern society; smoking, drinking, and violence. Peer pressure is one of the many problem in that friends or peers try to get a person to do what they like to do or what most of them like not what that person likes.…
This has lead to the shift of women aiming to be employed in largely male-dominated sectors. As England states in her article, “—employers see the worth of predominantly female jobs through biased lenses—“ (p. 153). The rules set in place by society are patriarchal; therefore a woman working seems out of the question. Yet, when she is employed it is rather seen as an achievement rather than a…
Since these sectors are seen as a male-dominated working sectors, the welfare of a woman are always been neglected. However, some industrial sectors such as public administration and safety, wholesale trade have a low gender pay gap ranged from 7.3% to 7.2%, which at the same time, reduced substantially since November 2012.

The glass ceiling prevents women from rising to the highest positions of organizations in male dominated professions. This is a huge problem because woman deserve to have equal opportunities as men. “A working woman with a college degree will earn, on average, hundreds of thousands of dollars less than a man who does the same work” (Newman, 1006). The only thing that is holding women back is their gender. In the past, men usually were the ones who earned money to support their families.…

William Benemann had clear intent when writing his most recent novel, Men in Eden: William Drummond Stewart and Same-sex Desire in the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. Answering the call of Jim Wilke's Frontiers magazine article suggesting the topic, Benemann set to "restore William Drummond Stewart to his place at the table," (2). Though Benemann doubts any intentional misrepresentation of Stewart's sexual history, he believes that most historians simply did not consider the possibility that he was anything other than heterosexual. Men in Eden “explores the role… (of gay men) in... a nineteenth-century mercantile setting,” investigating the draw that such an isolated, yet traditionally masculine, environment might have held (4).…
