...Dale Spender (1980) women are aware that male superiority is a myth and they deal with this knowledge in numerous ways. Their response to 'enlightenment' may range from disillusionment to elation, from masking their feelings in an attempt to hide their disappointment and preserve the myth, to outrightly declaring their knowledge in an attempt to explode it. But male superiority is not to be confused with male power: only one is a myth which can be exposed and eradicated by knowledge, by a change in consciousness. While they are different, however, they are also inextricably linked, for male superiority has served as a justification for male power. Any exposure of the false nature of male superiority, while not a direct assault on male power, is an indirect attack which undermines it. If and when sufficient members of society no longer give consensus to the myth of male superiority, if and when they no longer act in a manner which acquiesces in that superiority and permits it to go unchallenged, then, rather than being taken for granted, that power will need to be defended or transformed. It is because males have had power that they have been in a position to construct the myth of male superiority and to have it accepted; because they have had power they have been able to 'arrange' the evidence so that it can be seen to substantiate the myth. The myth was made a long time ago and for centuries it has been fostered by women and men so that now it is deeply embedded in virtually...

The Book Thief teaches us that it is okay to have your own opinions and it’s alright not to always follow what everyone else is doing. Slide 5: Why we should read the book thief How characters/people either agree to or rebel against societies expectations Today we are always looking to an outside source to receive approval of what we are doing.

...Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, Philippians 2:1-11 ESV / 67 helpful votes So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, As a Christian or believer of any other faith, one should hope to be more like Jesus and posses Christ like qualities. We all know that this life is really about seeking after that one goal, every day, so that others might see Jesus in us and want to come to Him. Philippians 2:1-11is a sginificant scripture, because it informs us about christ like...

...growth of project oriented organization (POO) can be summarized as follows. 1. “One size does not fit all” – no matter global giants or small medium enterprises realized that lack of interface between projects and organization should lead to failure in such global and dynamic environment. Even though, traditional functional or matrix structure may deliver better results than POO in some areas such as resources across projects and organization-wide knowledge management. The emergence of the need for POO is also associated with the increasing number and complexity of projects throughout the global economics. Under such circumstance, project-oriented structure can deliver speedy response to market need and reduce the “time to market”. 2. “Moore’s Law” – described the computer hardware capacity could be doubled by every year.
