Misrepresentation Of Adult Men And Women

As discussed in a recent essay by Saul Kaplan “The Plight of Young Males”, there is a serious academic gender achievement gap in the United States and as I will discuss, around the world. Young women are doing significantly better than young men, and the results are shocking. In the latest census, males make up 51 percent of the total U.S. population between the ages of 18-24. Yet only 40 percent of today’s college students are men. Since 1982, more American women than men have received bachelor’s degrees. In the last ten years, two million more women graduated from college than men. As Kaplan reveals, the average eleventh-grade boy writes at the level of the average eighth-grade girl. He also states that women dominate high school honor rolls and now make up more than 70 percent of class valedictorians. Kaplan says, “I am happy to see women succeeding. But can we really afford for our country’s young men to fall so far behind,” (733)?

From 1954 to today, the United States has transmuted tremendously due to the Civil Rights Movement. Most of today’s equality and society originated from this significant movement that took place during 1954-1968. It has centuries from when Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation, and the signs of change has been began to materialize now. Looking back at history and examining the differences between this day to another day back in history, there will be major activities and objects that did not continue to this day- for example, slavery. There is enough evidence from the past to state that the young country has matured and became more equal for its citizens. Even data for gender equality, such as the chart

“The rise of rock ‘n’ roll and the reception of it, in fact, can tell us a lot about the culture and values of the United States in the 1950s. According to historians James Gilbert, there was a struggle throughout the decade ‘over the uses of popular culture to determine who would speak to what audience, and for what purpose”. At the center of that struggle, rock ‘n’ roll unsettled a nation had been “living in an ‘age of anxiety’” since 1945” (p.15). Altschuler talks about how music and race interlock with one another. Rock had become a “highly visible and contested arena for struggles over racial identity and cultural and economic empowerment in the United States” (p.35). Other chapters within the book state the battles involving sexuality, generational conflicts, as well as other social issues. The author states ideas that are somewhat problematic. For example, he states that there is a myth that rock ‘n’ roll went into a “lull” following the payola hearings (the practice of record promoters paying DJs or radio programmers to play their labels ' songs) of 1959 and did not come about again until the arrival of the Beatles in 1964.

Music has always affected the society in which the notes are played. Times of class contained dignified pieces pleasing to the ear while times of upheaval produced performers with a bit of an edge. The arrival of rock and roll in the 1950s, at a time often deemed as a decade of concerns, does not fit the long thought pattern. This class will delve into the arrival of rock and roll and the decade that did not know what to do with the new sound.

| The discussion in the paper is based on an adequate review of the literature.

Charlotte Bunch once said “Sexual, racial, gender, violence, and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.” Our society experiences all of these problems and I would like to focus on the gender perspective in the 21st century and how women have had more of an influence in music than people actually realize. Men have dominated the music industry and business but women have been the underlying reason as for why men and other females have been so successful in the music scene.

Chapter 2 leads the reader to an extensive and comprehensive research to find the appropriate answer for the stated problem before. The reasons and proofs are provided to support the justification.

Papers that contain the problems listed above will be returned and the grade of final drafts with these problems will be reduced.

1. The researchers analyzed the data they collected as though it were at what level of measurement?

After decades of fighting for women to have the same education as men and for the policy to be reformed. It has clearly payed off since girls and women are striving academically. The issue in this, is that not enough attention and assistance are given to boys and men. For example, Sommers mentions that in 1997 only 45% of college full time enrollment were men.

Throughout history, music have defined or depicted the culture and social events in America. Music has constantly played an important role in constituting American culture, where people have expressed themselves through music during flourishing and turbulent times. In the 1930’s, Swing music created a platform for audiences to vent their emotions in the midst of Great Depression and political unrest. Such strong relationship between music and culture can be seen throughout history, especially in the sixties.

The given theme has been investigated by us for two years. Thus from abstract work it has developed into scientific research to what the volume of the material we provide testifies.

The article has been written by Khalil, Cohen, and Schwartz. The main purpose of this paper is to make

Throughout history, music has and will probably always be at the heart of almost every culture. The evolution of music can be compared right along with the evolution of man and the beliefs in his era. This idea is very apparent in the articles “Minstrelsy”, “Johnny Rebel and the Cajun Roots of Right-Wing Rock”, and “Black Women and Black Men in Hip Hop Music: Misogyny, Violence and the Negotiation of (White-Owned) Space.”

Fung (2003) found that, in a sample of pre-service music education majors, males (n = 50) demonstrated greater familiarity with fourteen types of computer applications than did their female counterparts (n = 85). McGrath (2004) suggested: A good deal more research is needed on the factors that encourage both girls and boys to accomplish greater fluency with the technologies available to them and to be able to use them to benefit their understanding of the subjects they are studying. (p. 31) In relation to the present study, the group at Stevenson High School that experienced the guided learning condition was entirely female. Since the students were selected by the cooperating teachers, there was no way for the researcher to control for this variable. Future research might examine the relationship between gender and learning styles, and the effects of both on achievement in music technology-based tasks.”(Dorfman 2006)
