Rule of thirds

Transgender. This word is being heard more and more in America but what does it mean? According to the Webster Dictionary, the word transgender means “of, relating to or being a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the person 's sex at birth” ("Transgender"). Transgender and gender nonconforming people have in recent years earned recognition as being legitimate genders. An estimated .03% of the population within the United…

globalization but so has the third world. The factory type jobs that are being relocated to third world countries, are nothing but modern day slavery, and actually hurt the people in the countries. Capitalism without globalization I contend, has outgrown the United States because the biggest institution that helped the United States become an economic behemoth was slavery. Without slavery, capitalist will seek to fill its void, which is labor that cost next to nothing that in third world…

Transgender or third gender communities have been a part of history in a variety of countries and cultures for thousands of years. From the balka people of the Phillipines, the two-spirit people of the American indigenous, and the sworn virgins of the Balkan Peninsula third genders have been a part of history all across the world. This paper will examine the Hijra of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, specifically their history, current standing as citizens, official recognition as a third gender,…

A True Corporatocracy A true Corporatocracy happens when the corporate elite controls the power of the government. Fascism was popular in Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy during World War II. It evolved in America in a way that made companies create close ties with government and blurred the line of government and the multinational corporation. Who uses campaign contributions and the division of political groups known as Democrats and Republicans to keep a division helping people believe one…

Vampire Diaries depicted young teenagers having premarital sex. True Blood was the first HBO program that I was exposed to. At first the explicit content was a shock, but after a while I got used to it. Media has had a huge effect on the way that I view sexuality. While I do not think it has completely shaped my views, I am aware that it has made me more comfortable and open to the idea of sex. Relationships One of the biggest relationships that have influenced me is the relationship that I have…

Throughout history the Canadian education system has been utilized as a means to instil societal values and reproduce cultural norms. Researchers have referred to this phenomenon as the hidden curriculum (Jay, 2003). This hidden curriculum serves to secure the privilege of the dominant culture while subsequently marginalizing minority individuals. Normative discourses of gender and sexuality are promoted to students through the process of socialization. The process of constructing lesbian, gay,…

From Poop to Problem: America’s Struggle to Accommodate Transgendered People in Public Restrooms Why is America obsessed with bathrooms? Personally I avoid obsessing over the places that people of all kinds make a tinkle or relieve the pressure on their external anal sphincters, or even on occasion both at the same time. These frequently foul smelling places have become the focal point of so much controversy in the world of gender equality. State and local governments, along with schools and…

With the new fad of media and their interest in people’s social lives, you are thrown into a world that is changing. You see things such as people coming out as agender, cassgender, or even people coming out as being genderqueer. Now most people don’t know what these terms mean, or even know they exist. There isn’t much about the LGBTQ+ community that is expressed in everyday life. But now more people are discovering who they are, and are even changing how they identify. Sometimes, it’s with…

In our society, we have many different expectations of people’s gender. From the way which we interact with each other to the activities we enjoy, there are many things which are assumed of people because of their gender. I think of myself as being pretty stereotypically feminine. I don’t like sports, nor am I good at them. I love fashion, shopping, and makeup. I am horrified of spiders and other insects. I take great pride in how I look, which for me means that I am usually in dresses and…

people focused on women’s rights, such as the right to vote, property rights, and overall equity. The second movement shows how capitalism is a very gender-biased politic, and it is intolerant to women and their very little economic involvement. The third movement is still going on today as it focuses on defining gender terms and classifications. It considers the LGBT community and explains that feminism is not just for women. Peet and Hartwick emphasize that feminism should play a big part in…
