Which gender do you think is better at telling facial features between men and women apart when you take the hair out of the picture? For my study I predict junior and senior girls will be the best at telling the genders. They will actually take the time to sit down and think about it, whereas the boys will just guess and move on. That is why there have been many studies done to see just how differently the female and male brains perceive things. With one quick glance we often think…
Acting Minds Hillary Clinton, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks. This is just a short list of many great female figures in history. While each of them might have different beliefs and goals, each one of them have something in common. They all made the decision to act with their mind despite what the social norm may be. Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman” speech expresses that woman have as much potential as men to do anything they put their mind too (574-576). Today that sort of tenacity…
The Sworn Virgins of Albania are a perfect example of the relationships and differences between male and female, and sex and gender. Taking a vow to dress and act like a man, these Sworn Virgins are accepted by their communities and looked at as men, no matter their sex and/or upbringing. In this paper I will examine the cultural logic and norms that make becoming a Sworn Virgin possible, desirable, and even necessary. Every society has their own specific norms. Depending on the location,…

Hayles article, on Trans-glitch and gender as machinery of failure, elaborates gender as being something fundamentally technological and at the same way broken. It helps to explain the failures emanating from the machines using a human touch. The human body consists of various parts of which it cannot function without and so does a machine of which it is not able to carry out its purposes without them. Perfect machines do not exist and however much the old ones are repaired, they only tend to…
These exceptions included sex education and contact sports, which were optional, not mandatory” (Pritchard 135-36). Before that, males were given better equipment and facilities. Teachers were worried that combining males and females in these classes would cause the males to hold…

Probability can be defined as “The chance or likelihood of an event occurring” (Mirabella, 2011, p. 2-1). When looking at Joint Probability, it shows the likelihood of the Event A occurring at the same time as Event B occurs. Therefore, it is the probability of two or more specific events occurring together. Within my current assignment, I am looking at the probability of event A, student genders and event B, the student majors. For example, when looking at joint probability within the…
