Third Day

market share just as the Japaneese technical and automotive industry did. This observation proved to be right. The constant price/cost monitoring eventually led the company close its factories in USA and seek for more cost effective production sites. Third world countries seemed as the perfect place for the new fabrics due to very low work force costs. For example, a daily fee for a worker in Indonesia during 90 's was less…

This allows corporations and major franchises to save money on production of materials and raw goods. There are many factors that make this a disadvantage as well as an advantage for major companies, such as lower labour costs, lower rent costs in overseas factories but many of these come with the problem of inadequate health regulations and living costs.

Transgender. This word is being heard more and more in America but what does it mean?

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…

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.

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…

For instance, I was talking on the phone with my grandma the other day, and I was telling her about how passionate I am about my education. My grandma’s response to that was basically, “Sure you are, honey. You’ll be nice and passionate about your education until you have a nice man to take care of you and then that will…

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.
