Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”: Gender Socialization and Women and Conversational Education (Chapter 6)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”. Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House: Women’s Development in Communities of Faith” studies not only areas connected with faith, theology and women’s experience but also the various aspects in the difference of female socialization in regards to “caring and connection” and how this relates to theological interpretation. The idea of the practice of faith within communities relates to Hess’ argument that separation and connection is obtained through “hard dialogues and deep connections” in which girls and women care be nurtured to be caretakers of their “own house” (self) as well as the “common house” (the community of faith). Women, through conversational education and strong leadership in the religious community can overcome the generations of gender socialization which have largely led to men as powerful and women as servile, caring, and supportive which has resulted in women “losing themselves” to societal roles.

Cary Churchill and Sylvia Plath: Similar Yet Different Feminists Messages in Literature
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page examination of Plath’s “The Bell Jar” and Churchill’s “Top Girl” and the underlying societal messages. The author of this paper contends that each of these women’s work is largely directed at the injustices of a patriarchal society. The manner in which these women deal with those injustices, however, vary considerably. Each utilizes their personal experiences to form the basis for political critique. While Plath does so from the individualist perspective, however, Churchill approaches said change from a societal standpoint. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Case Study of Rena Graybeal: Gerontology Theories of Disengagement and Activity
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing a case study of an elderly woman in regards to the gerontology theories of disengagement and activity. A case study of an elderly woman, Rena Graybeal, consists of two aspects: part one, her biography which explores her biographical details, education, social supports, retirement, finances, politics, religion, relationships and health status; and, part two, her life in relation to the gerontology theories of disengagement and activity. The disengagement theory and the activity theory present two contrasting concepts of what functional roles older individuals play in society: disengagement, in which older individuals gradual disengage themselves from activities in society in order to allow for the younger generations which leads to life satisfaction; and activity, in which older individuals continue to maintain high activity levels in order to continue to contribute to society which leads to life satisfaction. Upon reviewing Rena Graybeal’s biography and current life, it becomes obvious to readers that Rena has always had and continues to have an active life consistent with the activity theory. Rena continues to contribute to this generation and the next, is aware of political, environmental and social issues, and maintains an open-mind in regards to religion, politics, family and other important components which makes her a functional member of society.

Cash Grants for Earned Income: An Analysis of Three Hypothetical Approaches
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page analysis of earned income strategies designed to aid working women in Hawaii. Outlines Hawaii's current approach and compares that approach to two hypothetical approaches. Each involves a cash grant for earned income but the budget constraints for each differ both in the maximum work hours allowed without taxation and in the rate of taxation. Concludes that the second hypothetical approach is superior as it rewards women who work a minimum or one-hundred hours per month with an increased cash grant. The other two approaches actually penalize women who work over forty hours per month by requiring that the cash grant be taxed away. No sources are listed.

Changes In Gender Roles: Impact On The Family
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Changes in gender roles over the past several decades have spawned a number of social, economic and political improvements for the women who have been at the forefront of such transformation. The extent to which this shift in roles has impacted the family is both grand and far-reaching; that the workplace is considered one of the greatest strides where gender role changes have occurred speaks to the double-edged sword of both the beneficial and detrimental impact it has had upon the family unit.
