Cultural Development Of Vietnamese Women
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. The topic of this paper is important for many reasons, not the least of which includes the social, economic and gender oppression Vietnamese women have historically experienced with regard to cultural development. One only has to be concerned with equitable treatment for everyone across the globe to have an interest in the way in which Vietnamese women are routinely deprived of their rightful cultural development. The questions this paper seeks to answer involve the extent to which the tenets of patriarchy single-handedly guide every nuance of cultural development for Vietnamese women, or if they maintain any semblance of independence apart from their gender oppressed existence.

Domestic Violence And Immigrant Hispanic Women
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Domestic violence plays no favorites and overlooks no individual. Socioeconomic status, ethnicity, age or religion - no one is immune from the physical and emotional effects of domestic violence, inasmuch everyone - no matter where they reside upon the ladder of life - is vulnerable to being victimized. There is one defining factor, however, that shifts the likelihood of one type of person being more prone than another: cultural undertones. Historically, global societies where men hold a much stronger presence within the social fabric such as in the Hispanic communities have a higher incidence of domestic abuse compared to places like the United States where gender equity is more prevalent. This anthropological consideration - while affording a greater understanding - makes the reality of domestic violence all the more difficult for immigrant Hispanic women who must battle centuries of ingrained cultural components in their attempts to escape such gratuitously violent treatment.

Economic Empowerment and its Relation to Women's Reproductive Choice and Health
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page examination of the contention that "the relationship between women's employment and fertility is 'elusive and ambiguous'". The author speculates that in some situations women's employment might be likely to result in greater sexual and reproductive choice. This contention can be demonstrated with a look at microcredit programs, programs which are designed to give women an economic leg-up in the world of business. Sometimes such programs, however, have unexpected results, results which could serve more as a detriment than as a benefit to women's reproductive choice and health. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Empirical Research Proposal Regarding the Oppression of Women in Islamic States
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses whether or not the oppression of women in Islamic states is based in the religious theology of Islam or in the cultural contexts of individual nations. Many believe that the Quran (Koran) teachings and male dominance have caused this situation when the actual problem has been more directly related to the interpretation of holy scripture by men. It is the fundamentalist extremists who should take the blame for distorting the teachings of Islam. This paper is written in ways that lend themselves to the actual development of a larger research project. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
