Without any part of them, we would not be not us but a whole different arrangement of atoms unlike any before it. It is because of this unconditional inclusion that we look, act, and think at least somewhat like our family. Our actions and beliefs reflect our families and expose differences between them and other families. These differences help to classify families and assign certain…

would like to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution to the Charlotte W. Newcombe scholarship program. I was both delighted and honored to receive this award and I'm writing this letter to convey my gratitude.

Will Mulan Make a Feminist Out of You? The Disney movie Mulan (1998) has long been respected for producing the only well known Disney princess who did not need a man to rescue her from her distress. Unlike other Disney princesses, whom many young girls grow up idealizing, she is the hero in her own story, and saves China by showing that she is as capable as any man when she disguises herself as a man and takes her injured father’s place in the army, knowing that the punishment if she is caught…

class and social status will ultimately play a role in the opportunity that one receives (Acker, 1973, p. 4). Explicitly discussed by Talcott Parsons (2007) “societal structure is essential in an evolutionary world as it can be justified in their contribution to society (Parsons, 2007, p. 13).” Allowing people the opportunity is the larger gain from this strategic way to eliminate the regulation of separation between the males and females.
