Three Women of Color in the West
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining the statement, “Scholars have suggested the West afforded greater educational and employment opportunities for women of color.” It can be argued that this is true, but only in relative terms. The West did – and does – offer more opportunities for women of color in many ways relative to those opportunities available in much of the Eastern Hemisphere. The reasons, however, likely have more to do with more developed economies in the West and more opportunity being available in general. The experiences of Era Bell Thompson, Fabiola Cabeza and the fictional Lalu Nathoy illustrate the point. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

To What Extent Is Gender A Cultural Construct?
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. The issue of gender – all the social, political and economic hardship imposed upon women – is due directly to the cultural construct of patriarchy. While some countries like the United States have overcome a significant amount of such oppressive gender control, others in lesser-evolved societies continue to persecute women under the guise of male dominance. Moreover, the male and female genders bear many differences when it comes to their respective mental, emotional and physical states. Typically – and some say only because of cultural indoctrination – men and women, boys and girls each have their own set of standards by which they live, effectively and ultimately maintaining a certain degree of gender compliance. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
