Women throughout history have had many roles. In the Middle Ages, women were seen as a problem, where they did not have a place in society, or were pushed into fitting into certain roles. Alisoun in The Wife of Bathe’s Tale and Prologue addresses this problem directly, by saying that she herself does not fit into the “perfect” role of Mother Mary, but is instead a powerful woman who desires obedience from the men she is surrounded by. Writing like The Wife of Bathe’s Tale and Prologue was…

It was a gray day. The sun did not shine; it could not sever the layers of powdery black skies and the fog. The thick mist that was not really rain and not really fog covered the southeastern corner of New Jersey. It was depressing, just like most days in the area surrounding the Overbrook Asylum. On the outside, Overbrook was a welcoming place where patients were treated with care and respect; the inside was very different. I entered the asylum as a nurse in May of 1910 and was excited to be…

As I read Deborah Tannen's essay "But What Do You Mean?" she concentrates on several conversational styles between women and men. I feel that her assessment was more so unresearched, because intending to point out where men and women fail when they communicate; Tannen actually gives a more one sided understanding of styles. Sadly, from reading her essay, she tends to show a lot of bias when she writes. And even though, she does deal with several conversational styles and examples, Tannen is…

brush over on the other side. So as you’ve seen there are plenty of men’s medium hairstyles out there – you can rock any look from laidback to elegant with medium length hair. This length allows for more styling options such as deep comb over’s, man buns and even asymmetrical looks if that’s what you crave. The trick with hair at this length is to go for regular cuts and consider using an undercut to keep your look polished. Men’s hair has never been easier than…

Simon Sinek and Hasan Piker are two guys in two separate YouTube videos with opposing views on the Millennial generation. Sinek’s video preceded Piker’s and the topic was on how “Millennials are not compatible for the corporate workplace because of bad parenting, social media, participation medals, and a false sense of self-image”. Piker responded with exigence by arguing that “Sinek is totally ignoring all the problems that Millennials face in the workplace”. Piker’s argument has the upper hand…

Plants starts The Sociological Imagination by portraying the circumstance of man in the 1950s. He describes this circumstance as one of both imprisonment and weakness. From one viewpoint, men are kept by the routine of their lives: you go to your occupation and are a specialist, and after that you return home and are a family-man. There are constrained parts that men play, and an average day for a man is a burn through them. Then again, men are additionally feeble even with bigger and worldwide…

My first point was from the readings of Gail Bederman. Where he talked about men feeling like they had to define caricatures for good and bad masculinity. Where defining cloths, jobs, mannerisms, and gait could be defined as masculine (Bederman 1995). I have had men feel that I am too masculine in how I deal with life. I am not a chick flick women, nor am I a talker, in general or about my feeling, this dose not match what men think a woman should be. I think those differences make it easier for…

Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont (hereinafter “Chevalier d’Eon”, “d’Eon”, or “D’Eon”), was born on October 5, 1728 to a noble family that held various military and political offices throughout France. Given D’Eon’s noble heritage, his opportunities for a career and advancement in both the military or politics were practically limitless, and he took full advantage of his status, graduating with a doctorate degree in law as well as becoming a master of fencing.…

Although Social Cognitive Behavioral Theory (SCBT) does not address how genetics, emotions, and relationships beyond the family may affect us, it is one theory I find to be very helpful to me from personal and work related perspective. SCBT gives an insight into not only understanding individuals, but also offers a practical approach in how APN might be able to apply the theory concepts in real life setting. For example, I work in the psychiatric setting; much of what I do is centered on…
