Ordination of women

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…

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 comfortable. I agree with the…

Analysis of The Burka and the Bikini This essay argues women in todays world are damaged in many ways by the culture in which they live.

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, not too concerned with labels of ‘feminist’ or ‘feminism’” (Evrard 2014, Wuerth 2005). Furthermore, French…

I attended the UCD School of Nursing interprofessional experience where treatment of domestic violence and substance abuse was addressed on two separate days. 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…

The pay gap proves to be far worse for women of color. African-American women earn 64 cents while Hispanic women earn 56 cents for every dollar a white man earns. Despite women’s high levels of education, the U.S. has one of the largest percentages of gender inequality in the industrialized world. “At every level of schooling, women and black men have lower earnings than white men” (Treiman and Hartmann 13). This goes to show that education…

and G. Margolin, in one study, “many undergrad college students thought dating violence was acceptable or normal in some circumstances” (as cited in Wasserman 2003, p.19) In another study, author Kay Hunnicutt found that seventy percent of college women listed forms of physical violence that they felt were acceptable, and eighty percent described situations that a couple may experience where force through physical means were acceptable. No physical violence is acceptable, and the fact that…

suspended for sexual assault on their transcript (Williams). By doing this every job that requires to their academic transcript will also be able to see that they sexual assaulted another human. This could impact their careers because if there are women in the office, which every office has them they are less likely to hire that candidate for the job. Businesses have the simple safeties in mind while hiring new candidates. Who would want to hire someone with that on their academic record? The…

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…

“The emergence of participatory cultures will enable 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…
