This drama study will define the conflict of male gender dominance and violence towards women in The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster and Woyzeck by Georg Buchner. In Webster’s play, the duchess is continually at the mercy of her brother, Ferdinand, because he does not want her to inherit their father’s money. The duchess has an illicit love affair with Antonio, which makes it possible for Ferdinand and the Cardinal to have her executed for an illicit love affair. This form of male gender…

Values and Motives Affecting Fate From the beginning of Antigone, the sides are chosen. Creon, the new king, is motivated by his new position and feels he cannot let the people down. Antigone is motivated by her love for her family and the pain of the past. Both allow their values to run their actions despite laws being broken and family being killed. As all of this is taking place, the Chorus is there to guide the way. The Chorus acts as a director by showing the audience the scenes as they…

always use to wear Hawaiian shirts with silhouettes of naked women all over it, and I never really thought much of it until now. For some reason we find it socially acceptable to display the female body. Another part of her presentation that stood out to me was when she said that women are four times more likely to be impacted by sexual violence on a college campus. I find this number to be disturbing. No women should have to walk around being concerned, but instead women should feel…

According to Nadia Yassine, a famous opposition figure in Morocco (Spiegel International, 07/03/2003), “the history of the women’s movement in the West has unfolded completely differently from here. It is based on other traditions and pursues different goals” (McKanders 2014: 167). Although the term “feminism” in its Western sense is often apply, these women seek out “to define their own form of feminism that promotes women’s rights within their own particular Islamic context and are, generally,…

The first day of the seminar was very interesting to me because it was my first time learning about the signs of domestic violence. I was in a group that consisted of nursing students, and they were all very curious about my role as a Social Worker. They asked me questions such as, what I am currently doing at my internship and what made me interested in Social Work. I felt very connected with my group because the members were open to listen to me and they considered all my ideas during the…

Introduction There is a problem that is looming over our society that not every many humans would like to talk about. Some say it is an epidemic, some say it is a women’s issue, others say it is not a problem at all. Just a problem made up by the media. Whatever the masses would like to say about it, the basic terminology is sexual assault or gender-based violence. There has been debate on the type of policies that should be in place for combating sexual assault on college campuses. Every…

Intimate partner violence compounded with substance use can be a complex and difficult struggle to work through with survivors and batterers alike. The power and control dynamics of those relationships can be masked often by or depicted as a result of the disease of addiction, which creates a rather convoluted and perplexing circumstantial environment to work within. This is particularly difficult in communities that initially have limited resources. For this reason, a comprehensive approach and…

deep social changes,” said Howard Rheingold. Participatory culture lends the exchange of diverse perspectives, community involvement, and empowerment through online platforms for social groups. Social media activism—as seen in the Ozgecan Aslan case against gender-based violence in Turkey on Twitter—and YouTube—transitioning from amateur to professional, revenue-targeted content—depict how participatory culture has revolutionized the way new ideas are exposed. In particular, the Ozgecan Aslan…

although working as a computer tech would afford me this opportunity, on some level, human service work is what I was called to do. I value the importance of being a helping hand, which is why I will continuously aspire to be the best community worker that I can be. My goal is to be a service to my community and exemplify the…
