...In her essay “Women Talk Too Much,” Jonet Holmes argues that to dominate talking depends on many different factors, including the social context in which the talk is taking place, relative social confidence and perception (299-304). By contrast, Ronald Macaulay declares his statement in his article “Sex Difference” that language use and development as a result of the social environment have a great impact on the talking between women and men, not the sex differences in language (307-313). It is explicit that both Holmes and Macaulay express their personal perspectives about the similar purpose of talking, the dissimilar factors of language development and the perception of language that could affect their conversational style. In Holmes’ article, she told about the purpose of talking in public between man and women, “Formal public talk is often aimed at information people or persuading them to agree to a particular point of view” (301). She agrees that public talk is often undertaken by those who emphasize their degrees of public status. In addition, when the men have an effective talk in public, the purpose of the speech is to improve their social status. In private context, women contribute to establish social contact with others and develop personal relationship. Likewise, Macaulay illustrated his opinion in his article that those different social positions would affect the talking between women and men. “It is also obvious that those in a position of power often expect...

...constructed: How does identity formation and personality development explain this process? To put this question in a simple manner one has to answer the question of “Who am I”. The famous author of the Fifth Agreement Don Miguel Ruiz states in his novel that all of us go through a process of domestication. He also mentions in his books that culture, society, individual wisdom, experiences, and understanding also play a vital role in the formation of self. The process of self makes us realize how we define ourselves because it is important part of our everyday life and our interactions. The way sociologist thinks about the role, self, statues, and identity is a good way at looking at the subject paper. In this paper I will elaborate the process of identity formation and personality development. First I would like to define some terms that play a vital role in the formation of such factors. Status is related to the social position that a person holds in a society or to put it another way all of the positions like social worker, human resources, hockey player, sex trader etc. are part of the status1. Roles are related to the responsibilities, behaviors, rights, that can be or should be associated with the social position that we as people assume in the society. A good example of this is the employee status, their role includes: performing different tasks, going to work, communication, team playing etc. To put in a simple way a status is something that is occupied by us while the role...

...Adolescents Discovering Their Identity through Physical, Cognitive, Emotional, and Social Development The Changing Years Even though children go through physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes during their adolescence years not all react the same way to these changes. Throughout these years adolescences ask “Who am I?”(Vander Zanden, 2000, p. 360). Biological changes occurring during this period of life affects children’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. These changes cause the children’s way of thinking to change in relationship to others as well as to themselves (Vander Zanden, 2000). Physical Development The onset of puberty occurs in this time of life. Puberty is the beginning stage into adulthood but children must go through many changes through the journey. Adolescences oftentimes find this stage of development dramatic. Females may find this time more dramatic than males. “Girls who have been advanced in physical maturity since the prenatal period, reach puberty, on average, two years earlier than boys” (Berk, 2010, p. 363). Both male and female adolescences experience growth spurts through this time frame, which is the first outward sign of the onset of puberty. Hormone levels increase in both males and females. Female begin to develop breast and pubic hair begins to grow. This is the time females normally start their menstruation cycle. Males develop pubic and facial hair at this time. Male’s penis and testes begin...

...of production and reproduction, consumption and distribution’ (FAO, 1997). Development is a process of structural societal change. Thomas (2000, 2004) refers to this meaning of development as a process of historical change. The essay shall look at Women in Development, Women And Development and Gender And Development and give their contributions to development as well as their strengths and limitations. The term "women in development" came into use in the early 1970s, after the publication of Ester Boserup's Women's Role in Economic Development (1970). Boserup was the first to systematically delineate on a global level the sexual division of labour that existed in agrarian economies. The Women in Development concept is based on a recognition of the importance of the roles and status of women in development process. It is meant to give special attention to the women's role, while extending development assistance. For the effective and efficient implementation of assistance, it is essential to ensure that the women should have the opportunities to participate positively as important players in development process. Such enlargement of opportunities will also pave the way for the enhancement of women's status. Boserup's documentation of the regressive impact of development on women's lives and livelihoods signalled the start of liberal feminists' advocacy of the integration of women in to development, as workers and producers. Tiano(1984) notes that some scholars, upon seeing...

...2. Women Empowerment in Modern India Dr. Shruti Singh For centuries women were not treated equal to men in many ways. They were not allowed to own property, they did not have a Share in the property of their parents, they had no voting rights, and they had no freedom to choose their work or job and so on. Gender inequality has been part and parcel of an accepted male-dominated Indian society throughout history. Women were expected to be bound to the house, while men went out and worked. This division of labor was one of the major reasons why certain evils like 'Sati Pratha', ‘PardahSystem', 'Child Marriage', 'Dowry System', etc. took birth in our society. The traditional Indian mentality assumes that the place of women is mainly concentrated to the household activities like kitchen work and upbringing of the children. There is systematic discrimination against women economically, socially, politically and culturally more so, in India. These discriminations & disabilities are practiced at all levels day in & day out. Women Empowerment is the ability of women to exercise full control over their actions. This means control over material assets, intellectual resources and even over their ideologies. It involves, at the psychological level, women's ability to assert them which has, so far, been constricted by the 'gender roles' assigned to them especially in a culture like India which resists changes. This essay throws light upon the different challenges that are faced by Indian...

...Explain the potential effects of five different life factors on the development of an individual In Sophie’s life there have been five different life factors that have affected her development as an individual. These include genetical factors, socioeconomical factors, environmental factors, biological factors and her employment status. All these factors affect her physical, emotional, intellectual and social development. Genetical Factors: Sophie’s Asthma Medical Condition Asthma is a genetical inherited medical condition that affects her physical development throughout her life stages. Asthma affects the small airways, bronchioles, which carry air in and out of the lungs. Therefore Sophie’s airways can become inflamed, swollen and constricted; this physically puts extra strain on her body when she exercises, making her breathless and dizzy because there is not enough oxygen within the body to make her muscles work properly when exercising. Sophie’s asthma affects her emotional development; this is shown as she still gets embarrassed and frustrated when out in public. When Sophie exercises her asthma causes her to become breathless and light headed very easily. Sophie therefore keeps an inhaler on her. Emotionally she has become slightly unstable at times when faced by embarrassment in front of others. Sophie’s intellectual development shows how she has learned to understand her condition and how to try to avoid triggering an attack. Through support and advice through...

Cooperative enterprises have been known in the Philippines in the form of multi-purpose cooperative, insurance cooperative, loan cooperative, etc. As a part of the community these cooperative enterprises have social responsibility to the community they are in.

...The social structure of cooking has been implemented in our world’s society for as long as anyone can remember. The “women cook, men eat” is a social formation that the vast majority of cultures follow. However, there is great debate concerning the development of this formation. Richard Wrangham suggests that cooking developed the role of the woman. Conversely, Susan Bordo believes that this structure is an effect of patriarchy. Perhaps, these theories are not mutually exclusive, but rather they have worked together to construct the gendered power dynamics that is prevalent today In my opinion, the beginning acts of cooking ultimately contributed to the separation of men and women, and delegation of superior roles to men. Wrangham has concluded that the development of cooking created new roles that needed to be filled and “relying on cooking creates foods that can be owned, given, or stolen” (Wrangham 152). Furthermore, women, physically weaker by design, began to rely on their partners to protect their food from theft. The men took advantage of this and began to receive cooked meals while assuring the women food, thus assigning the role of cooking to the women. Wrangham states, “These bonds were so critical for the successful feeding of both sexes that they generated a particular kind of evolutionary psychology in our ancestors that shaped female-male relationships and continues to affect us today” (Wrangham 155). While cooking may have created these bonds, more importantly...
