Chapter one focuses on the biological changes that have occurred over time regarding female maturation; most notably, the earlier onset of menarche, or a female’s first menstruation. Earlier ages of menarche have resulted from the higher living conditions that most American girls enjoy today. The chapter also covers the differing generational ways of talking, or not, about menstruation and the consequences of that. Chapter two continues

A bicameral legislature is simply a legislature with two houses. The historical reason that the united states has this type of congress is that the British had this type of congress and they seemed to work so well so we decided to use this type of legislature. The practical reason was to settle the dispute between the New Jersey plan and the Virginia plan. The theoretical reason was so that one could check on the other. In the house of representatives there are 435 people. They serve a 6 year term. To qualify for the house of representatives you must be at least twenty-five years old, you have to be a citizen for the last 7 years, and own a house in the state you wish to represent.

Two numbers have a sum of 20. The sum of their squares is a minimum. Write the two equations required to solve this system of equations.

So we start of with x^2-4x+y^2+8y=-4 you would then take 1/2 of -4 and square it, then take 1/2 of 8 and square it. You would then get x^2-4x+4-4+(y^2+8y+16-16=-4. After all of these steps you would factor the square, x-2^2-4+y+42-16=-4, x-2^2+y+4^2-20=-4. Then you would add 20 to both sides, x-)^2+y+4^2=16

Find the number that 5 times itself is the same as 3 times that number plus 2.

There was a high food shortage in 1946 and this caused many to ration. World War II left a deep wound in India as two and a half million Indian soldiers were sent to aid the allies and 24,000 killed. Many were unemployed as they lost their jobs after the war since there was no need for war production. Gandhi’s party, Indian national congress, created in 1885 seemed it would be the power that ruled after Britain left. This changed, however, as the All Muslim league became popular during World War II. Muslims were a minority compared to the Hindus. The Partition of 1947 created Pakistan, where the Muslims would live, and India, where the Hindus would live.

“both reflects and contributes to women’s lower social status.” The article also mentions how a first period can be an automatic mark of womanhood and restricts many of the ways a girl was once able to freely act. Now, she is seen as a more sexual being. However, the stigma is a hidden rather than a visible stigma because women go out of their way to make their menstruation go unnoticed. This stigma is further perpetuated by the media, which advertises feminine companies that make products that can conceal odors and that treat menstruation as an embarrassing nuisance. The stigma surrounding menstruation that the media plays into has also helped construct the stereotypes of women being moody and violent while menstruating. This stigma can negatively affect women’s health, sexuality, well-being, and social status. For example, women might be hypervigilant or try to avoid certain activities during their menstruation. The authors note that while girls are taught to be proud of the natural occurrence, they are simultaneously taught to hide and ignore

This literature review seeks to illustrate how attitudes and behaviors are affected by the onset of menarche and menstruation through a woman’s life. A young women 's introduction to menstruation are constructed by both positive and negative perceptions and are then perpetuated by the influences of culture, religion, family members, and the media (Rembeck, Möller & Gunnarsson, 2006; Roberts, 2004). In turn these influences typically create negative attitudes towards menstruation, which affect a woman’s body image leading to self-objectification, and causing disconnection from their mother, themselves, and other women. Most discussion concerning menarche are perpetuated negatively especially through the media, promoting its existence as a shameful event that requires hygienic management (Stubbs & Costos, 2004). Through engagement of dialogues throughout religious texts and within familial members primarily the matriarch, girls and women are conditioned to believe they must control their menstruating bodies quietly and secretly. Menstruation can be described as a Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon (Stubbs, 2008), which causes a disconnection from self. Most women describe their menstruating selves as a completely different person from their “normal” selves. Topics explored within this paper will guide research for future exploratory or empirical studies.

Parker (1998) states, “The rituals of gender etiquette is an institutionalized social performance whose smallest constituent units or symbols serve as vehicles for the transmission of socially normative meanings of gender.” Further it is argued that gender roles, what is perceived to be masculine and feminine in society shape our social world.
