Whether a look at the past or the present, there are always gender roles in society. Women will take the more traditional role of a housewife. They would be in the house doing things like cooking, cleaning, looking after the children and overall taking care of the house. Men will do more of the grunt work, like maintenance and yard work. Even though gender roles have evolved over the years, they still are present in our day-to-day lives. In the short story Boys and Girls, Alice Munro has explored

The origin of the Westie: Can be traced back to the 15th century when they were first bred to hunt vermin, foxes and otters. Following a shooting accident of a brown terrier mistaken for a fox a Scottish Laird demanded white terriers only to be used for hunting. The breed was created by taking any white puppies from Dandie Dinmont Cairn Terrier and Scottie litters and selectively breeding from them. West Highland White Terriers were recognised by the kennel club in 1904. Today, the Westie remains

from abuse or neglect, (Eckenrode, Rowe, Laird, & Brathwaite, 1995). Studies show a tremendous high rate of academic problems among maltreated children than nonmaltreated children, (Eckenrode, Rowe, Laird, & Brathwaite, 1995). In a study conducted, a sample was taken where researchers randomly selected 420 maltreated children in kindergarten through twelfth grade and 420 nonmaltreated children also in kindergarten through twelfth grade, (Eckenrode, Rowe, Laird, & Brathwaite, 1995). By using available

Leadership is usually held by men who own the healthiest and largest herds of sheep, but they don’t have the ability to impose authority or their will over anyone. And in times of action, unanimity is the cultural rule among the Navajo leaders (Nowak, Laird, 2010). Although it is unlikely for a woman to be a leader in Navajo society, she is likely to own just as many sheep as the men do, with the herds being kept

Avoiding High School Dropout, and Continuing Education Although high school dropout rates have improved over the past years, it is still a problem where it has only improved by approximately thirty percent, specifically in the United States. (Messacar & Oreopoulos, 2013). Many factors could lead to the conclusion of becoming a high school dropout, but despite those factors, dropout rates should be more infrequent. It seems as if teenagers do not always comprehend what is going on at their age, or

Sontag’s “The Way We Live Now” and Dark’s “In the Gloaming” both illustrate the affect the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s had on two gay men and their loved ones. “In the Gloaming” follows Laird and his mother’s journey of getting to know each other on a deeper level. When they were left alone “the air around them seemed to crackle with the energy they were creating in their effort to know and be known” (692). Janet and Laird’s experience demonstrate the rarity of true intimacy because their relationship

The Garbage King by Elizabeth Laird exhibits many concepts connected to the fairness and development aspect of the I.B program. It demonstrates the harsh realities of poverty, child labour and privilege in a fictional but relatable setting and situation. Through the minds of a poverty gripped street boy and a privileged rich boy we journey through these serious global issues in the streets of Ethiopia. Poverty is one of the most crucial fairness and development aspect featured and elaborated upon

In the short story “Boys and Girls”, Alice Munro suggested that the need of security can be contradictory to an individual’s desire of independence through the contrast between narrator’s interior thought of being an independent self-sacrificing hero in conflict with the others’ compulsion of being a dependent stereotype of girl. During the time of the story, frame of society is rigid, and there were no motions around the gender rules; therefore, women seems to be designated to live as housemaids

The victim is able to have the evidence stored in case they choose to press charges, even long after the incident occurs. Victims can be left devastated after going through an ordeal such as sexual assault, and to have the day or night continue by being herded around may sometimes just add more pain to the situation. Being able to process the evidence as quickly and efficiently as possible may be the difference in locking up a sexual predator, and allowing them to go free and to potentially offend

or what he was doing losing their respect and trust. The idea of the large impact of nurturers also connects with the movie Riding Giants directed by Stacy Peralta, which talks about Bill Hamilton becoming the father of Laird Hamilton, who was a surfer and how Bill inspired Laird to become a top surfer. Bill Hamilton was Laird’s role model and nurturer the day he met him and changed him into the man he
