This paper presents an experiment that was done in order to test the relationship between grip strength and gender. The paper presents the methods used to do the experiment and the results and concludes with a discussion on the results obtained.

From the Paper
"General knowledge suggests that the average male grip strength is greater than the average female grip strength. When visitors to AnswerBag.com, a popular Q&A site, were asked the question, "are men stronger than women?" each of the six responses indicated a belief that men are stronger (Kovaciny). This was used as a hypothesis: If fourteen subjects consisting of both genders equally represented and of a similar or equivalent average age, then those subjects of the male gender will have demonstrably greater grip strength."

Abstract
This paper emphasizes that the style of China's national theater called the Beijing opera is importance to its culture. The author points out that the use of male actors to portray female characters and females portraying male actors are truly ancient in China, although the practice did not become primarily exclusive until the early 19th century. The paper relates that, although Beijing opera has been heavily influenced by royal prerogative in the past and the desires of the Chinese people more recently, the reverse gender playing the role in traditional Chinese drama has no restriction on the sex and age of its performers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Likewise, the distinctive Beijing opera walking styles of the dan (female roles) and sheng are clearly recognizable in other traditional forms, just as are the stylized hand and eye movements of the huadan. Although some localized forms of theater have not include certain role types (the jing being the role type most frequently excluded), the walk, posture, and gestures techniques used for every other role type traditionally included in each form and can be recognized by modern Chinese audiences without fail as belonging to that role type throughout the various forms of traditional Chinese theater."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of gay marriage. Specifically it discusses the sociological perspective that marriage is the union of two sexes, not just the union of two people. According to the paper, it is the union of two families, and the foundation for establishing kinship patterns and family names, passing on property and providing the optimal environment for raising children.
From the Paper
"Many feel the acceptance of gay marriage is an extension of growing tolerance in our society, and a sign that society is becoming more liberal and more unified. However, not all of society accepts gay marriage, and this could be a sign there is a growing rift between two factions in society - the conservative and liberal. This could indicate that society is becoming less unified and more split over controversial issues such as the issue of gay marriage. As another writer notes, "Therefore, someone who moves off the sanctioned paths is doing something much more than just acting immorally; he is rejecting the goals of the society in which he lives" (Bidstrup). This threatens the foundation of society and society members, and of course, that is one reason many in society find the issue of gay marriage so troubling. Rather than showing society is becoming more unified, the issue shows society is becoming more fractioned and unstable."

Abstract
This paper examines the hypocrisy of several laws, the standing of many blacks and the Roman Catholic Church, which oppose same-sex marriage. The author points out the position that it is hypocritical for groups that have had to fight long and hard to win their own constitutional rights to turn around and deny them to the next group. The paper stress that the acts of Roman Catholic priests turned pedophiles are morally unacceptable; the acts of adult gays and lesbians who love their partners are, on the contrary, morally very acceptable even though the Catholic bishops oppose same-sex marriage. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"So, the point is, what the Bible said many centuries ago cannot be considered as relevant today, since slavery is no longer tolerated; one more example from John Nichols points to Exodus 35:2 which "clearly states" that those working on the Sabbath "should be put to death." Can you imaging, for example, to carry Dr. Laura Schlessinger's references a little further, all the NFL players who have games on Sunday (today's "Sabbath") being lined up and shot in a firing squad for "working" on the Sabbath? Of course, it's absurd, and the point is well made."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of Jordanian women's NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) and their impact on domestic politics. In this article, the writer points out that the world of women has been one that has been evolving for the past few decades; however, in Jordan the women's rights movement has been a long-standing battle between several factions. The writer discusses that NGO's that are primarily organized and run by women have been fighting for gender equality for years, with significant progress. The writer notes that the work and pressure of women NGO's in Jordan has had a positive impact on the nation's domestic politics as they have slowly been able to affect change in the women's rights arena. This paper takes a close look at NGO's in general and some of the Jordanian NGOs and the impact that those groups have on domestic policy. In addition, a case study is provided on the largest NGO in Jordan, formerly known as Queen Alia Social Welfare Fund.

"World globalization, coupled with political unrest has provided mankind with a window seat to the workings of many cultures and communities around the world. Whether it is watching the events unfold in Lebanon, hearing about political unrest in Iraq or enjoying the world cup on television there is no denying that things which at one time were private, secluded, and tucked away are now out in the open for all to see.
In the arena of women's rights this has proved to be both advantageous and problematic as governments grapple with how to preserve their heritage and history, while still providing the changes necessary to provide quality lives for their residents. In the nation of Jordan the issue of women's rights has recently begun to explode however, it is not a new issue for those living under the oppressive atmosphere that has been accepted for many years."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the reproductive process and examines the risks involved in casual sex. This paper is written in an informal tone and the writer looks at the subject of sex among adolescents. The writer concludes that the reproductive story is an amazing, wonderful part of the human experience, but that the teenage years are not the right time to be weighted down with the obligations and responsibilities of childbirth. The writer maintains that the more children and parents know, and the deeper the level of sincerity that is embraced while parents counsel them about the dangers, the better the chances that they will be smart enough to avoid the tragedy and pain that is out there waiting.
From the Paper
"Actually, there are some species on the planet that would probably be glad if humans were no longer around to threaten them and pollute their habitat - like endangered whales, for example - but that's an issue to be discussed at another time.
On a serious note, let's talk about the female reproductive process first. You may already know a lot of this information, but maybe your little brother or sister doesn't, so let's go through it step-by-step to be sure we understand. We know that after teens have gone through puberty, reproductive processes are possible - that is, girls can get pregnant once they begin menstruating and boys can get them pregnant once they start producing semen, or sperm."

From the Paper
"Today, it is an undeniable fact that advertising has increased in various forms, everywhere, and in direct proportion, controversial advertising has also increased, leading one to fear for the mental safety and health of the children of the nation, and others who can be easily influenced by external factors. Perhaps the reason for the increased advertising is that today, society has become more complex than it ever was, and has also, an increased awareness of the harmful effects of advertising certain products on general media, and also the need for advertisers to cut through the so called 'clutter' that other advertisers have created, in advertising their products."

Abstract
"Brokeback Mountain", directed by Ang Lee, is an astounding story about two young men who meet and fall in love in the summer of 1963 while they are working as sheepherders on Brokeback Mountain, in the state of Wyoming. The paper provides an overview of this controversial, Academy award winning film about the lives and feelings of homosexuals which was released in 2005. It discusses the plot and the theme of sexuality that runs through the movie.
From the Paper
"The sadness that they feel is intense as they realize that the feelings that they do have for each other are loving feelings. Both men separate with tears in their eyes, but think in their mind that it is the best thing for the both of them because homosexuality is not accepted in society, especially a country society like Wyoming, where the movie takes place. The tears that the two men cry show the viewer that they really had an emotional relationship and it was not simply "sex"."

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace, 2007.
This paper discusses the internal ethics regarding the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper explains that, when it became both immoral and illegal, sexual harassment in the workplace developed into an increasingly important issue because such behavior can lead to serious repercussions for the individuals directly involved, the workplace and the company itself. The author points out that the problem of ethics in business has been wrongly approached from a masculine point of view, focusing on individuals and duties, when instead it should be regarded from a feminist corporate governance point of view, focusing on the relationships between workers and employers. The paper concludes that neither persons, rules nor ethics can solve all the problems of sexual harassment in the workplace, but the best measures are to avoid difficulties and, when they cannot be avoided, to solve them fairly and in accordance with morality and integrity.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another measure that needs to be implemented in order for the feminist corporate governance to rightly function is the training of employees. Male employees have to be assured that working under the direct supervision of a female is not the least bit shameful, but a challenging proof of maturity and professionalism. By working under the advice and feminist corporate governance of a woman, female workers would feel better understood and motivated to achieve higher goals themselves."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that the act of rape is one of the most violent and demeaning crimes in society. Further, the writer notes that rape is more associated with aggression and domination than it is with sex. The writer explains that not only does this act cause physical harm but it is also emotionally and psychologically damaging to the victim. In this paper, the writer discusses that in spite of the suffering of rape victims, the myth is often propagated in society that women initiate rape either by being alluring or tacitly leading the male on. The writer concludes that it should be remembered that rape is a crime and a social act that has enormous consequences for the victim.
From the Paper
"However, mythical attitudes and stereotypes have an extremely negative effect, not directly only on the women who is a victim of rape but also in terms of the reportage and combating of this crime; as well as on the subsequent arrest rates. Due to this myth that women often invite rape, many women feel that they are somehow to blame if they are raped. This has been given as a central reason why many women do not report being raped to the authorities. The myths therefore tend to distort the victims sense of psychological balance and viewpoint and point to the possibility that she may have in some way led the rapist on or encouraged him. These women therefore internalize the dominant social rape myths that are promulgated in the society and culture so that they become a measure of 'reality'."
