...SLUT! The article Slut! Growing up Female with a Bad Reputation by Leora Tanenbaum focuses in on societies views on women and adolescent girls who are targeted for various reasons and labeled as sluts. Tannenbaum undergoes a series of interviews where she answers questions about how girls and their sexuality is viewed and targeted by many only because she is a female. Tannenbaum also conducts and interview herself on a young college woman to study her childhood as she grew up. The young lady remarks that as she grew up in a typical high school she was branded with the word “slut” because of an incident involving alcohol which in turn led her to be raped. Her abuser spread the word about them having sex around the school which eventually branded her to becoming the school slut. Tanenbaum not only talks about this specific case but also initiates an ongoing controversial debate about how differently men and women are perceived in society when it comes to sexuality. Since the beginning of time men and woman have had to obey different rules and succumb to different stereotypes because of their sexuality. Women who choose to conquer their sexuality and explore the male anatomy are often labeled as sluts and impure because they choose to be promiscuous, they are scrutinized and derogated and many times abused, whether it be verbally or physically for emphasizing their sexual freedom. Men on the other hand, are praised and congratulated for being with many women; their reputations...

...In the article “How Teaching Highlights the Double Standard Applied to Men and Women,” Laura Bates talks about how men and women are often judged differently by society. A Teacher assistant Gemma Laird, was fired after parents found out that she was an underwear model. The article compares the situation with another situation, including a math tutor Pietro Boselli, who was crowned “The World’s Sexiest Math Teacher,” and now he is a an Armani model. Bates tries to compare the situation with other topics that aren’t really talking about double standards. The two main comparisons are in comparable because the female teacher assistant was working with young children’s and the male tutor was teaching kids who were eighteen and older in college....

...This particular incident that I’m going to share with my readers happened on a cold dark night on March 5th,2018 at approximately 8:02 P.M.at a place what until tonight I thought I could call my second home. What are double standards? Double standards are when there are a set of rules which apply to one set of people and another set of rules for other people. How does this pertain to my incident you ask? My answer can be summed into one word called cursing. I strongly believe in not cursing in front of the children, staff members,etc; As older kids such as me that attend the facility I along with the rest of the young adults should set an example for our youth at the Kent Youth Family Services. Having said that, does it not apply to the staff members as much as the young adults to set and example for the youth of our facilities....

...Continuing on through The Kite Runner, there is evidence of further social issues, but in this post, I will elaborate on the Afghan double standards, and how one would wrestle this type of bear. Previously, I had emphasized the divide between the Pashtuns and the Hazaras. However, there are significantly more divisions between groups than just that one, like the difference in treatment towards men and women. In the novel, Hosseini illustrates how Afghan society favors the men and thinks positively of them when it comes to relationships between the two genders, specifically Amir and Soraya. The article, “Afghan women imprisoned by their culture,” highlights the dilemma in which the women, the victims of abuse, like rape or forced marriages, are penalized instead of protected. Although the Afghan...

...In the “Wife of Bath” women are not treated equally as men and are aiming to equalize the gender power. Double standards are a significant aspect of that culture. For instance, women are looked down upon if they marry more than once. The teaching of Christ is mentioned, “That by that same example he taught me. That I should be wedded but once” (lines 12-13). Basically it is morally “right” to only marry once. However, the wife makes an argument that several holy men have married more than once. This is evident when she says, “I know well Abraham was a holy man, and Jacob also, insofar as I know; and each of them had more than two wives” (lines 55-57). She demonstrates that she is practically identical in ethics to men who have likewise had...

...I found Violence: The Double Standard, to be a difficult read. Zinn’s use of long sentences describing the twin objective between social change and avoidance of violence. However, after spending enough time deciphering his words I found his writing to be very raw and true on most of points. I have never given much thought to the definition of violence until reading Zinn’s piece. Most people’s first thought of violence would be that it’s something physical, it’s the pain we feel at the hands of others rather than the emotional or psychological effects of the act. Zinn also points out how we perceive people differently, “The idea, I believe is based on two failures of vision: one is failure to recognize how much overt violence has characterized our behavior toward other nationalities, other races - outgroups of our society; the other is a failure to recognize the place of violence - both overt and hidden - in whatever important change has occurred in American history.” I like how Zinn uses America as his example because this country, throughout history has used violence to enforce nonviolence. Zinn also talks about the double standard of social change and peace. Social change is not possible without violence, but peace cannot coexist in this situation. If peace is valued over violence, then social change is sacrificed. I find it...

...doubled in the first 6 months does not mean that someone gets a bonus or is put on probation. There is not enough information given in this question to warrant such action. This type of action is jumping to conclusions and assuming without the evidence to substantiate such an action. What would warrant such action of probation would be if this has happened before, and the correct training has been provided, inefficiencies have been documented, and the employee(s) have been counseled verbally and written counsel has been documented. What this does mean is that there is a challenging issue and the root cause of this issue needs to be found. An investigation is in order to figure out and understand what is causing the accounts receivable to double. This also raises the question as to why it has taken six months to figure out that there is an issue. Since accounts receivable is made up of what monies are owed to the organization from such examples like the patients copayments or payments for service, insurance companies or third party payers, part of the investigation should include what is outstanding or what kind of credit has been given to raise the amount of outstanding days for the accounts receivable. Also before the investigation is closed and hopefully the root cause of this issue is found, policies and procedures may need to be revisited since it is evident that what is in place is either not working or not being...

...accounting and its use within a business organization. As I’ve stated in a few of my posts during the week, before this course I was clueless to the world of accounting. I’ve had my assumptions, all of which are being proven to be wrong. My first assumption is that accountants were all nerds and that it was boring. Which either means I’m a nerd or this is actually an interesting and informative class; I believe it’s the latter. The required readings for the week were chapters one and three, which help lay the groundwork for the rest of the class. I scoured the Internet and found that accounting is everywhere and has been for quite some time. For hundreds of years accounting has been around and used daily. The Venetians started using the double booking method in the 15th century. They used it with the ships and merchants in their harbors in order to keep track of all that was going on. Like I stated in my post, I like history. When I understand the history of something and how it got started, I tend to comprehend the class work more. I also used YouTube, which again has proven its’ value. The accounting videos were slightly on the dry side, but I stuck it out. I also tend to learn more from a video than I do in a text. I find it to be more interactive thus keeping my attention for longer spans. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this as much as I...

...enjoy is coupons that are fifty cents or lower are doubled every day. It is interesting that it is more important for Kroger to save money by eliminating this courtesy to the customers. Publix also accepts Kroger coupons; whereas, Kroger does not accept Publix coupons. Kroger intends on lowering the prices on items in the store versus doubling coupons. This policy could be viewed as positive or negative. If lowering prices is reducing prices by five or ten cents, customers may be highly upset and begin to shop elsewhere. The change of policy for Publix has positive intent, but Kroger’s policy can be viewed negative or positive based on the customer’s beliefs. References: Prosser, F. (2013).
