...The conflict over the devastation of the wetlands is a destructive conflict, no parties are cooperating. There is competitive motivation to win against the oil industry in a billion-dollar lawsuit. There is a hostile attitude toward the oil companies for destroying protected land. The issue over the control of resources in Louisiana is a blame game between the Oil companies and the state. This has created credibility issues for both sides, there are many factors involved in the destruction of the wetlands near the gulf coast, the state is blindly blaming oil companies for it. This makes the conflict somewhat misattributed and displaced. The people protecting the wetlands want the oil to pay for the projects that will help stop erosion but it’s not clear if that will do any good. To promote cooperative interdependence between the oil companies involved and the people protecting the wetlands is difficult because it is close to impossible to please both parties in this situation that involves out recourses and money. I can’t see anyway to make this a mutually beneficial situation. The Board fails to see that its not just he oil companies and the oil companies fail to recognize that their drilling took a huge toll in this particular area even though there are many of factors that destroy the habitat. The credibility of both parties also makes it hard to see a positive out come. This is an international conflict involving social values in Afghanistan. Women’s rights are close...

...is the male man. 2) God’s original purpose is to extend his Heavenly kingdom to Earth. He wanted to colonize earth with heaven; he wanted to extend his invisible kingdom to this visible earth. 3) God’s goal was to fill the earth with the culture of heaven. When a kingdom colonizes a territory, it fills the territory with its culture. 4) One of the great mistakes of the church is it has reversed God’s program. It preoccupies people to leave earth, when in fact the instruction was to occupy till He comes. 5) Man was never created to dominate other men, but to dominate earth. You and I were created to dominate the resources of earth in the area of gifting. God gave all of us dominion, not over people, not even over your wife. 6) Discovery of your purpose is the source of your personal leadership. Leadership has to do with self discovery than it has to do with leading people. True leaders never seek followers, followers are attracted to the gift of the leader. 7) Vision is a preview of your purpose. 8) Man is spirit and spirits have no gender. You’ll never find in the Bible a reference to a male/female spirit. God took the first man, and put him in a body, and the first body God made was a male. Man comes in two models: male and female. 9) God only made only 1-human from the soil and he never went back. Not even women came from the soil. Out of the male body God pulled out a woman. God gave the woman the instruction to be an incubator for the man. 10) Wherever...

...Getting into the field of counseling is path that directly correlates with my passion; helping others. It has been a natural habit for me since my youth to be motivated by giving others guidance and clarity through different types of obstacles and challenges. Earning my degree will be one of the final steps I will need to reach my career goals and ambitions. I would Like to open up a consulting firm that handles direct services of counseling to people. I would like to specialize in child and family counseling and have a network of counselors working for me, servicing other population's needs. My 10 year experience working directly with at-risk youth in a school setting, help me gain a drive to facilitate young people in minding their family strife. My belief is that the dysfunctional and fractured home life is at the core of the delinquent youth. There is no greater satisfaction, than assisting a young person and their family through chaos and developing a plan to having a healthy relationship. I believe that a healthy family promotes a sound mind and body within a person and is an intricate piece in becoming a productive citizen. In order for me to be competent in the counseling role, I need to acknowledge and recognize my strengths and weaknesses. Strengths that would help me in the counseling field are primarily centered <?n my genuine "want" for people to do well and be productive for themselves. With that belief I continuously focus on the positive attributes of a...

...Danielle Weatherspoon Professor Robertson English 1102, Composition and Modern English II 30 March, 2014 Gender Roles Past & Present Both Fences and Trifles are plays concerning the difficulties of interactions between men and women. Glaspell's Trifles uses a murder mystery to portray a soured relationship between a husband and wife. One of the difficulties is that men and women have different interests and therefore take significance from different things. "While the men importantly bumble about trying to discover a motive, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale solve the case right under their dull noses.” (3) Throughout Trifles you are shown how little things add up to big things when small unnoticed facts slip by the Sheriff, the County Attorney and Mr. Hale. Meanwhile the women discover critical evidence. They determine that Minnie Wright, after social abandonment and a silent death, was likely provoked to kill her husband. Although Mrs. Wright says she was asleep at the time of her husband's death, the women find clues in the way that she kept her kitchen and are able to follow her thinking and conclude otherwise. The men only note that it the house is not well kept. The lack of communication and great difference in areas of concern show the men and women of Trifles completely different views of the matter at hand. In the kitchen pantry, the women can remember what it was like for themselves to have picked and preserved their fruit; and understood why Mrs. Wright...

...Male Mentors in Schools Kaplan University Tracy Lindsey Male Mentors in schools “Men make up ninety percent of the prison and local jail population, and they have an imprisonment rate fourteen times higher than the rate for women.” (Tsai and Scommegna, 2012). Ernesto isn’t a part of this jaw dropping statistic, but he is a mentor success story. Ernesto is a kid from urban Los Angeles that was having a rough time at home and performing at school. Due to his difficult home life, he was at risk of not graduating, which his teachers recognized and made him aware. He was then admitted into the HBO Mentoring Program in which he began to improve. Shortly thereafter his work ethic began to slip due to home issues as well as other factors. In return all program members provided him “extra support and encouragement” along with his mentor being there every step of the way building his confidence. With this support Ernesto began getting great reports from the teacher and he went on to take the GED pre-test receiving a sixty-two in writing and a sixty-one on social studies, which is outstanding. After all the time and effort invested Ernesto graduated. (Lore, 2002). This one success story can speak for many and really paints that picture that many children need support, encouragement and motivation to empower them to want to succeed in the end. Ernesto is just one I speak of but, troubled young men are prevalent in countless communities and many households, which across the U.S. the low performance...

...Gender Equality “Gender equality is achieved when people are able to access and enjoy the same rewards, resources and opportunities regardless of whether they are a woman or a man.” (About workplace gender equality). It is not up for debate whether women are discriminated against in the workplace it is obvious. According to Mary Ellen Spigel, in 1998 women made 73 cents to the dollar paid to men. Even today there is still a pay gap between men and women because women are not given the same job opportunities as men. Todd P. revealed that one of the reasons for the pay gap is a lack of permanent part time jobs and flexible working arrangements, restricts the ability to combine quality employment and family care responsibilities. Meaning women with children or other caring responsibilities are less able to participate in the paid workforce. (1). It is unfair that just because women have family responsibilities that they do not receive the same career opportunities as men, even though they have just as much education and experience. As stated by Cindy Hsu, since 1980, there have been more women enrolled in institutions of higher education than men. (1). Women receive more of the honors degrees at many universities compared to men however; gender equality goes downhill once women enter the job market. (Hsu, 1). A woman earns only eighty cents for every dollar a man earns, even though women are performing better in school than men are. Yet, in our society, women still lag behind men...

...On September 17, 2014 Devin Egypt Robinson X attended San Diego State University to discuss masculinity, what defines masculinity, and how it changed today. Today what defines a man has truly changed because now women seek men who are identical to their fathers or those who are “deadbeat” men who are with them not because they love them but because they want to hurt them mentally and physically, and use them. The three main points Robinson makes is that the three p’s that describe a man are protect, provide, and procreate, Secondly, society is confused and media has destroyed the image of how a man should be. Finally, it is detrimental to find your identity in order to avoid the headlights of life. Robinson gave a list of not only important facts, opinions, and personal experiences, but provided numeral relations to the media and our society today. Not only did he discuss relationships between men and women, but to society today, such as Caucasian males oppressing both black males and women....

...While men are friendly towards their colleagues, women often relate to co-workers, clients and vendors as friends. Men, on the other hand, seem to assume and accept that the workplace is a competitive environment, and competition sometimes includes delivering and receiving verbal jabs. A recent study from the University of Chicago discovered that men are 94 percent more likely than women to apply for a job with a salary potential that is dependent on outperforming their colleagues. This would support the general view that men experience work as a forum for applying their skills, delivering results and beating their competitors. Why do women care so much? What makes a sarcastic remark delivered at work more hurtful to a woman than it is to a man? The answer may lie partially in biology and partially in socialization. In the realm of biology, women are wired differently than men. The female brain has language and emotion centers in both hemispheres of the brain, and more connective tissue between the two. These factors alone could explain why women are more sensitive to and adversely affected by harsh words. In addition, as Dr. Marianne Legato explains in Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget, estrogen causes women to feel and remember stressful events better (and longer) than men do. This enhanced memory skill makes it difficult for a woman to forget a cutting remark or tough feedback once she’s heard it. Socially, men and women bond differently. Two women coming together...

...Nicholas Petracca WMST 101.01 Individual Research Paper Dr. Gillespie Violent Masculinity: How American Society and Media Glorify Violence in the American Youth By it’s anthropologic definition, masculinity is anything that men think and do. It is anything that men think and do to other men. And lastly, it is the idea that some men are innately, or are acknowledged to be, more macho than other men (Guttman 93). When we consider those in their childhood and adolescence stages, even though they aren’t men, they are nevertheless affected by the constructs of masculinity. In this paper, I intend to show how American Society and popular media combine to construct a masculinity norm that glorifies violence, especially among teens, adolescence, and children. Before we look at how masculinity can lead to violence in our culture, we must first unearth how masculinities are constructed, both by mainstream media and by societal norms. Perhaps the most crucial aspect of masculine and feminine studies is that gender is a perception that is socially constructed (Craig 2). Academics are cautious to separate sex—a purely biological difference—and gender—a label that is used to illustrate the essential qualities that society attributes to members of a particular sex. As a result, masculinity becomes a term that we must explain. It is widely recognized that American society and popular media are responsible for shaping masculinity, so it is only logical to that these...

...The American Dream “the widespread belief that, by hard work and individual enterprise, even the most poor and lowly Americans can achieve economic success, a better way of life and enhanced social status in a land of immense opportunity (Watts).” Ragged Dick is really about rising from rags to respectable not rags to riches. I view that Dick is an exceptional character showing that true grit to get what he wants even if its almost out of reach, which shows “The American dream” is something you have to work for. Dick has all the qualities of someone who could achieve his goals with hard work. Dick is a young man who has lived on his own for years, meeting Mr. Whitney changed how Dick viewed people and life. How could a man Dick did not even know have faith in him to appreciate a new suit and not ask for anything in return? But when thinking how “The American Dream” is viewed in Dick’s eyes he sees it as having respect from all and when he is in a suit he receives the respect from his elders. Throughout the book you hear Dick use words such as “bully” when describing something that is very good. In the time that Dick and Mr. Whitney are together you find that Dick starts to show his real thoughts on what he wants to do in the future, which shows that Dick does have a “dream” in a way. When Dick meets Mr. Whitney’s nephew Frank they bond while Dick shows him around New York. During this time Dick discovers that being a boot black is not something he has to do for the rest of...

Student Number: 111310236, Module title/code: Sociology of Family, SC2026, Module Coordinator: Linda Connolly Submission Date: 14/1/13 Throughout my essay I will attempt to look at different theories of masculinity and try to show how these theories have transformed the sociology of family in recent decades. I will start by looking at the sociology of family, giving a brief insight into the main theory’s and how it helps us to understand what the sociology of family is essentially about. Following on from this I will look at masculinity giving the main ideas of it and how it has changed and shifted roles in past decades. Before going into detail about masculinity and how it has changed by looking at theories of fatherhood, work, and unemployment and Hegemonic masculinity. Finally I will finish by looking at the main advantages and disadvantages of this change in masculinity in recent decades looking also at how it has changed the sociology of family. When looking at the sociology of family we see that it is an extremely broad field of study and can really be split into four main theories of which to look at the sociology of family, these being: 1. “Functionalist theory: Looks at the essential tasks provided by the family e.g. Socialisation: Regulation of sexual activity. Social placement: Material and emotional...

...In times of war kings send men to die for a cause that they cannot truly justify. It maybe over land, resources or just a little bit of political strife men but for whatever reason men die. Everyday a man is on the front lines protecting what he holds dear. War makes a man find something to cling on to, it may just be the will to live or just the thought of the day that they return home to their families but every soldier has a reason for life. Matram life flashed before him in one quick instant He had only joined the kings army out of a stroke of bad luck but he had never regretted it.
