Are Women Teachers to Blame for Boys' Low Test Scores? In "The Mind of Man" by David Thomas, the academic performances of both men and women are scrutinized. He quotes an old calypso song "Man Smart, Woman Smarter" (120). But is this true, and if it is true, why are women generally regarded as being smarter, especially in their primary and secondary education? Dr. John Nicholson, author of "A Question of Sex", states that men and women are different in the types of mental tasks they perform

In Barbara Welter’s “The Cult of True Womanhood,” it is clear that in the 1800’s women were suppose to be nothing if not a mold of societies image. The four virtues that Welter says a “true woman” should have consist of: religion or pity, purity, submission, and domesticity. All four of these virtues lead to women belonging in the house and not outside making big life decisions meant for their husbands. Women were meant to, “raise up a whole generation of Christian Statesmen” (171) and if a woman

Court Ladies originates from a poetic text, Nushijian, written by Zhang Hua, a Western-Jin-dynasty court official who intended to utilize this text to teach women basic rules and rituals(Hinsch 51). Therefore, Gu Kaizhi transformed this text into painting to further illustrate and benefit future generations of the virtues that ancient Chinese women should possess in order to be a qualified woman, hold a position in the court, and serve for the empress.

lower Fifth Avenue which most of you have been in for my “evenings” of controversial debates. What will women do with their new freedom? Not turn evil as many of you would think. Women could create lives for themselves, become economically independent and independent throughout. There are opportunities for women outside of the home. There is a whole other life outside the house. Yes, some women will have to learn to govern themselves but that is only because they were never given the chance to in

lives of women during the Renaissance. The article by Kelly focused more on life in the court as well as the romantic, sexual, and political lives, or lack thereof, of women during the Renaissance. The article by MacNeil focused on the life of one woman in particular, Isabella Andreini. MacNeil focused more on the arts side of the Renaissance rather than the court, political, or sexual aspects of women. As stated previously, both articles provided interesting insight into the lives on women during

place during the period of depression in the south. It portrayed the two kinds of women found in the south during this time, the women who were pro the feminist movement, and the average Southern women. Sadly some women mistakenly rebelled against the ideals of society, by just being themselves. Men and women were to conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen, were men were expected to dress in suit and ties and women were expected to wear dresses and be courteous. Since southern towns were so sheltered

Sawyer, and one female, Brooke. After conducting my interview I have a better understanding of topics that students are not clear on and would benefit from more instruction. One topic students have missing information about is knowledge of famous women in history. A second topic students seem to be confusing is basic geography understanding. During my interview, I asked Sawyer and Brooke about famous people in history. Both students were able to rattle off a list of famous men in our history. They

unfairness within business organizations for women. Women are often not held up to the standard of a man in the business workforce, which leaves them with fewer position choices outside the norm. Most jobs that women have are not demanding upon the body and require little to no strength. The failure to understand adaptation by the government has caused many reforms in the past, but there are still many flaws in the hiring system that often leave women asking questions and puzzled by the bias decisions

asked and answered by many different cultures. In some cultures the woman plays the role of a wife and mother and it ends there, while in other cultures it is acceptable for a woman to be the primary source of income. In today’s society roles for women are not defined, but people use these roles to define a woman. In order to determine what makes a woman a woman, the question “What makes a man a man?” must also be answered. Ernest Hemingway shares his view on this question in his book The Old

Although women now have many more rights and freedoms than what they used to, it didn’t simply happen over night. Throughout the course of history men have always had a superior role to women in our society. White Men could own land, earn a wage, get an education, and state their political ideas much before women ever could.
