Abstract
This paper explains that most religious and conservative people believe that marriage was created for the purpose of procreation; whereas, proponents of gay marriages believe that the U.S. Constitution provides for a strict separation of the church and the state and as such religious arguments do not have a legitimate place in the debate and that the Fourteenth Amendment protects the right of private consensual sex and as such the prohibition of gay marriages is a violation of such rights. The author points out that the gay marriage issue came to the forefront of national debate in 1996 when several Hawaiian gay couples sued for the right to marry legally, which resulted in the passage of "The Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)" in 1996. The paper relates that, in May 2005, a U.S. Federal District Judge struck down sweeping provisions of the Nebraska constitution that defined marriage as only between a man and a woman and banned same-sex civil unions, domestic partnerships and other similar relationships as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The passage of DOMA did not deter gay-right activists in their campaign for the legal recognition of gay marriages and in 2000, Vermont became the first state to allow gay partners to join in a civil union with the same rights enjoyed by married heterosexual couples under state law. Maine, Hawaii, California, New Jersey, and Connecticut have also enacted laws that give some degree of rights to gay civil unions and partnerships since then. On November 18, 2003, in Goodridge v.Department of Public Health, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial ruled that: "barring an individual from the protections, benefits, and obligations of civil marriage solely because that person would marry a person of the same sex violates the Massachusetts Constitution." Implementing the Court's decision, Massachusetts made same sex marriage legal in the state on May 17, 2004; it is thus far the only state to do so. Most other states have enacted constitutional provisions that define marriage as a union of one man and one woman."

From the Paper
"Overall, my experiences with my field placement agree with many of the points in Lederman and Mian's article. The Parent-Adolescent Relationship Education (PARE) curriculum in their article shares similarities with my practical experience at the Girls Inc. Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy program. For example, both programs focus strongly on the participant's social well-being, rather than simple sex education. My practical observations at the Girls Inc. Preventing Adolescent Pregnancy program validated Lederman and Mian's assertions that such social training can be effective in helping young girls. While Lederman and Mian's article validated my experiences at an academic level, it did not give me with a real understanding of the experiences of children."

Enforcing Statutory Rape Laws, 2006.
This paper examines the current laws regarding statutory rape while stressing the need for stricter implementation and enforcement of these same laws which prohibit sexual relations between adults and minors.

Abstract
This paper discusses the growing problem of teenage pregnancies in America, which, can, in some part, be attributed to sexual relationships between minor females and adult men. The writer of this paper examines the argument, which states that enforcing these rape laws will result in a reduction of teenage pregnancy rates. The writer contends that if teen pregnancy rates are reduced, the existing burden on the welfare system will be substantially relieved as a result. This paper explores the current statutory rape laws, in which relations between adults and minors are referred to as rape, sexual abuse and unlawful sexual conduct. The seriousness of the charges vary, based on the age of the victim, or the span of years between the victim and the perpetrator. This paper explores the strategies of various states, such as Delaware and California, that are leveling civil penalties against the perpetrators of crimes against minors.
From the Paper
"While all states currently have laws forbidding sexual activity between adults and minors, the variation in laws and application are enormous. The relations between adults and minors are referred to as rape, sexual abuse, unlawful sexual conduct and other epithets. The seriousness of the charge can vary, based on the age of the victim, or the span of years between the victim and the perpetrator. It should also be noted that most of these laws are not gender neutral and are usually applied solely to young women and girls. Even so, the laws are notoriously difficult to prosecute. The women involved are often, understandably, unwilling to give testimony against their partner. Several states are looking to recoup the cost of the teenaged pregnancy to the social service system by leveling civil penalties against the perpetrator."

Same Sex Marriage, 2005.
This paper discusses why gays and lesbians want to marry, the pros and cons and how the issue can be legally resolved.
1,185 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, AU$ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that many gay and lesbian couples believe their legal marriage is a civil rights issue just as heterosexual couples are allowed to marry because, if they are not allowed to marry, they miss out on the rights and benefits of marriage such as the right to visit a spouse in a hospital, spousal health insurance and marital tax breaks. The author points out that the Bible very distinctly forbids any homosexuality and refers to persons who perform homosexual acts as sinners. The paper relates that civil unions as domestic partnerships would offer the legal rights and benefits gays want without society endorsing their relationships as marriage.
From the Paper
"More than three-fourths of the people in the United States favor equal rights for gays and lesbians; however, when it comes to legalizing marriage between people of the same sex, their attitude changes. About half of all U. S. citizens oppose gay marriage. In other words, they have conflicting feeling towards homosexuals. Many who support gay rights oppose marriage. Statistics show that about six out of ten people prefer their state to resolve the conflict; however, the other four out of ten agree with a constitutional amendment that would ban marriage between same-sex couples."

Women Historians, 2006.
An essay on why it makes a difference whether men record history or women record history.
971 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains why the approach taken to recording and reporting history differs between the genders and points out that a woman's viewpoint of history is very different from that of a man's. The paper also explains that men have traditionally had mixed views about the feminine take on history, alternating between welcome and derision and that this different take exists only because men and women really do have different viewpoints regarding historical events and how they should be recorded.
From the Paper
"It should make no difference whether men or women write history. But it does. (It might equally be said that it should make no difference whether white or black Americans write African American history, but it does, also.) Perhaps a more interesting question is not whether it makes any difference but why the difference it makes is a fact. Des Jardin more or less asserted it as fact when she wrote about the WPA programs in the 1930s when women preserved "irrelevancies" such as diaries of Mormon settler women and African American folk tales in Florida collected by famous author Zora Neal Thurston, who wrote the very "tribal" African American novel Their Eyes Were Watching God; that work finally made it to TV movie status in 2005, despite being a seminal work concerning the early days of African American freedom in South Florida. Indeed, the fact that it took several generations to get that very fact- and drama-filled story from book to screen also says something about the differences that result when women have written the history instead of men. While it can be argued that Thurston's work is as rich with meaning and history as Richard Wright's, for example, hers is rarely studied, his often. Both are African American; one is female."

Should Her Story be History?, 2006.
This paper examines the lack of female historians, as well as women's accomplishments and contributions documented throughout history, in a primarily male dominated field.

Abstract
This paper ponders the argument that the secondary characteristics of a historian has more impact on his or her writing, than gender alone. The writer contends that these secondary characteristics, such as race, socio-economic status, religious and political affiliations are what determine a writer's personal beliefs and biases. This paper explores the contributions of Sarah Bolton, one of America's leading feminist historians, who brought women in history to the forefront. Bolton's writings of history openly advocated the role of women in history and the change in social norms. The writer of this paper contends and explains that historians generally have agendas and that their writings are used to further these agendas. The writer also asserts that if history is written only by men, it is logical to assume that women's contributions to historical events will be lacking. The same holds true for history written by only one particular race.
From the Paper
"Take, for example, the different perspectives that could be taken by two writers, both women, about women being granted access to higher education in the 20th Century. The first woman writer is a member of the middle-class, and she and her husband both have to work in order to keep their family in the middle class. That historian may begin her history with women getting equal access to higher education, which led to more women entering the workforce in higher-paying jobs. In addition, that historian could accurately show that, traditionally, as women have entered an occupation, it has become devalued by society, and the members of the occupation have then suffered a relative decline in pay. As a result, the historian could conclude that women's access to higher education has led to a society of families that cannot maintain a middle-class lifestyle without two incomes."

Gay Marriages in America, 2006.
This paper focuses on the much debated and controversial issue of gay marriages in America.

Abstract
This paper examines the legal status of same-sex marriages in several states in America, including California and Vermont. This paper details the law in California, which bans same-sex marriages, yet discusses the fact that the mayor recently chose to overrule these regulations by legalizing a large number of gay marriages. This paper delves into the increasing support for the legalization of same-sex marriages. The writer contends and explains why Vermont is considered the most advanced state in its acceptance of gay marriages. In 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court passed a decision which stated that gay couples had the same state constitutional rights as straight ones. This paper also discusses the Same-Sex Civil-Union Bill.
From the Paper
"The virtual success of such a bill would be tremendous for supporters of gay marriages. As I have previously mentioned, the issue is not necessarily for gay civil unions to be called marriages. It is a much deeper issue, an issue where the homosexual civil union should be assimilated in all rights and obligations to the heterosexual marriage. In this sense, Connecticut seems to be on the same path as Vermont in recognizing the rights of gay couples. Progress was also made in New York towards achieving the legalization of gay marriages. Judge Doris Ling-Cohan ruled, at the beginning of 2005, in favour of gay couples being allowed to marry. According to the decision , there is no point in guaranteeing basic freedoms to lesbian and gay people if one is not interested in conferring one of the most essential rights of all, the right to marry whomever one may desire."

Abstract
This well-researched paper examines the findings published in numerous medical journals regarding the issue of women and drug addiction. This paper compares the results found in various tests and surveys between men and women addicted to drugs. According to one report, women are significantly more likely than men to have a diagnosis of panic disorders prior to their getting involved in heavy drug use. Another article suggests, that although drug abuse in men is still more prevalent than in women, women are in fact catching up to their male counterparts. This paper discusses the correlation between drug addiction and depression as well as suicide, in both men and women. The writer of this paper contends and explains the lack of support and rehabilitation services that are primarily geared towards women.

From the Paper
"With the huge percentage of private drug dependence treatment facilities dwarfing those run by government at various levels, it seems highly appropriate that gender-specific programming should be investigated, and in this article, some results of those inquiries are available. First, since women generally rely more on government-subsidized insurance, and private facilities are less likely to provide those funds, women are at a disadvantage in private centers. Secondly, private facilities rely in many cases on "fee-for-service" payers, again putting women at a disadvantage. Thirdly, private centers can chose which groups, and genders, to market to, based on demands and trends, which is "perhaps to the detriment of minority groups, like women," the article continues."

Female Historians, 2006.
This paper examines impact of female historians in a field that was, at one time, primarily dominated by men.
1,226 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 51.95

Abstract
The writer of this paper discusses the lack of females in the field of American history, up until the 1960s. This paper cites various male historians such as Arthur Schlesinger who stated that historians' silence about women made it seem that half of the U.S. population had not had any impact whatsoever on the country's history. It was in the 1930s when Schlesinger made his statement, a time that had been slanted by male historians. The writer contends and explains that, although there were a number of women during this time that impacted the social, economic and political happenings in the country, they had not been discussed in most history books. This paper examines the events, in the 1960s, that led to the emergence of women who finally took to writing about historical events. This paper also delves into the accomplishments of various female historians, such as Lucy Maynard Salmon, whose work wasn't appreciated till long after her death.
From the Paper
"There were women writing about this period. However, their work was hardly acknowledged. Woloch notes that several middle-class women, such as Elizabeth Butler and Mary Van Kleeck, "conducted scholarly inquiries into conditions of women's wage earning in various industries." Also, Vassar historian Lucy Maynard Salmon extensively questioned servants and employers for a major study of domestic employment. Such women gained a much better idea of the women's involvement in the labor movement than many of their male counterparts because they worked undercover to learn what was occurring in the real world. Kleeck studied New York City's female factory workers and child laborers. For decades she served as director of the Russell Sage Foundation's department of industrial studies, where her work helped bring about legislative reform by providing valuable information on the conditions in various trades."

Gender Equality, 2006.
An analysis of John Stuart Mill's "The Subjection of Women" and gender equality.
1,117 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Mill's discussion of the origins, development and propositions against the prevalence of subjugation of women in the society. The analysis conducted posits that Mill proposed that women oppression prevailed because of the preservation of the status quo, wherein women were considered the weaker sex, thus influencing people's beliefs about the capabilities and functions of women in the society.
From the Paper
"In developing his thesis, Mill had laid down first the state of women subjugation as he observed it in his society (19th century English society): "The subjection of women to men being a universal custom, any departure from it quite naturally appears unnatural. But how entirely, even in this case, the feeling is dependent on custom, appears by ample experience..." He then went on to prove that contrary to the popular belief that the status quo, wherein women were subjugated by men, was also tolerated by women, Mill argued that there had been numerous literature that express women's protest against the prejudice and discrimination that they received in society. However, society had been reluctant to give attention to these protests, mainly because women subjugation had become part of society's norms that to deviate from this was unthinkable, and would only cause instability on the social order."

The Abolition of Slavery, 2006.
This paper analyzes the issue of slavery by focusing on the perspectives of a black slave woman, Harriet Jacobs and a white male preacher, Peter Cartwright.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the differences in gender, race and social roles in 19th century American society that created the differing viewpoints of both Jacobs and Cartwright in opposing black slavery. In Jacob's autobiography, "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," the author delves into her own personal account of what slavery had been for black women like her. Cartwright's "Autobiography of Peter Cartwright, Backwoods Preacher" illustrates his own perception of slavery through the eyes of a white American male. The writer contends and explains that while both authors were vehemently opposed to slavery, the two had very different opinions as to why slavery should be abolished. For Jacobs, slavery was a detriment to her life because she experienced sexual vulnerability and abuse whereas Cartwright considered the practice wrong due to the moral degeneration that occurred with the proliferation of adultery and unexpected pregnancies among black women slaves by their white masters.
From the Paper
"This paper posits that Jacobs and Cartwright's narratives about their opposition and experiences of black slavery reflect that despite their agreement on the detriments of this practice, both have different opinions about the 'wrongness' of black slavery. That is, for Jacobs, black slavery was a detriment to her life because she experienced sexual vulnerability and abuse, while Cartwright considered the practice immoral because of the moral degeneration that occurred with the proliferation of adultery and unexpected pregnancies among black women slaves by white American males. In "Incidents," Jacobs narrated her account of slavery based on her experience as a slave of a family in South Carolina."

Women who Ravished the World, 2006.
Examines the role of the temptress in the course of world history.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Common mythology holds that classic modern seductresses-Mae West, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe-have used their sexuality to claim the men of their choice and keep them fascinated for life. Historical seductresses can claim even more power in the bedroom: Cleopatra, Delilah and Catherine the Great, to name just a few. Other temptresses, including such modern sirens as World War I's Mata Hari, are credited with changing the course of history in the bedroom. The paper looks at the history of several of these temptresses through the ages and concludes that the power of any seductress might be short-lived and marginal at best. The women focused on in the paper are Catherine the Great, Mata Hari and Marilyn Monroe.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
The Queen of Temptresses
The Wages of Sin, 20th Century Style
Modern Sirens
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Mata Hari displayed amazing naivete for a temptress; in fact, Schirmann thinks that far from using her talents to protect herself, she squandered her gifts, having once said that she would rather sleep with a poor military officer than a rich banker (Lichfield 2001, database online). A true seductress would have preferred the rich banker who could protect her as well as amuse her, in the way Catherine the Great slept with those who could help maintain her in power."

Abstract
This paper explores the Romantic period in music, which spanned the majority of the 1800s and was born out of the Classical era. This paper also delves into the personal life and the musical contributions of Tchaikovsky, from his birth in 1840 and up until his suspected suicide 1893. The writer of this paper examines the major events in Tchaikovsky's childhood that both influenced and motivated his music, including the death of his mother when he was just 14. This paper examines Tchaikovsky's musical training which began at the age of 20, against his family's wishes. This paper discusses the various mentors who encouraged his passion for music, including his childhood tutor, Fanny Durbach. The writer also discusses the success and fame that the composer experienced during his lifetime, due in large part to the patronage of a wealthy widow that was fond of his work. This paper delves into the personal life of Tchaikovsky, who kept his homosexuality a secret. It is suspected that Tchaikovsky killed himself to protect the honor of his lover.
From the Paper
"After his mother's death, Tchaikovsky's father sent him to a civil-service/military boarding school where he was expected to study law and spend his career in that line of work. However, at the age of twenty years old, he abandoned his clerk job at the Ministry of Justice, and began to study music at the St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music. His family protested fervently, but that mattered not to him, for after witnessing Mozart's Don Giovanni, he knew that he had no choice but to pursue a life dedicated to music. He has a particular knack for improvisation from the start, showing a "rich sense of harmony" and head for dance-rhythms. However, he was noticeably undereducated in the area of music. Basic music theory concepts and works by well-known composers were not necessary for his education to begin, for he frequented the Italian operas that played in Russia, and he had the drive and the passion."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper asks and answers the following questions: What obstacles have prevented Chicana women from realizing their sexuality and self-importance in the past? How do Chicana women view themselves as members of society in modern culture? What are the most critical factors contributing to a Chicana woman's sense of self and discovery? This in-depth paper delves into the unique hardships faced by Chicana women in recognizing their sense of self-worth and their sexuality. This paper examines the history of Chicana women who grew up in a culture that viewed them as subservient to men. The writer of this paper investigates the history of Chicana women through a comprehensive literature review that focuses on the role Chicana women have depicted in fictional literature, up until the present. This paper discusses the research conducted and analyzes the results which indicate that the role of Chicana women in society is in fact changing for the better. Women are starting to become more independent and realize themselves as independent, sexual and worthy human beings.

From the Paper
"Much of the information available regarding Chicana culture is evident in the form of fictional stories, which depict the Chicana girl or woman as someone who is constantly searching to identify her role, her purpose in society and her sense of self. Other works of fiction address the Chicana as someone reflecting on her life experiences to learn from them. In times of old much of the literature available with regard to Chicana women suggested that women were subordinate, however more recent works suggest that Chicana women are starting to take a more aggressive and assertive role in society, and they are starting to recognize their sexuality and right to be sexual, alive, and important human beings."

Abstract
This paper explores the normally male dominated field of sports and athletics and the lack of equality between the sexes in this area. The writer of this paper contends that in most instances, equality of opportunity between the genders is mandated by U.S. law. This paper examines the Equal Employment Opportunity Act which is the major legislation mandating equality in employment as well as Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments that mandates a move toward equality in college sports. This paper focuses on the career of jockey Julie Krone who was inducted into the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame in 2000. The writer discusses Krone's battle with prejudice in a male-dominated field, that had at one time gotten her so depressed she had contemplated suicide. This paper details the various laws and achievements of exceptional women have struggled to bring about true equality in the field of sports. This paper also contains the text of two published articles regarding women and sports, that were used in researching this paper.
Outline:
Sports Equality at the College Level
Equality in Sports Professions
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Krone made it in a man's sport and profession; it would be logical that other women would have followed in her footsteps. If one were to gauge the possibilities on the basis of a 1985 National Geographic production, The Ballad of the Irish Horse, one might think of equine sports and professions as the perfect place for women to break into a man's world. The father of a junior rider who competes in pony races, with betting and purses and all, said he didn't particularly like his teenaged daughter exposed to the dangers, but she loved it so much and was so good at it, he didn't have the heart to stop her. In the same production, there is also a women veterinarian at the Irish National Stud, breeder of many of the world's great race horses, and a segment on Lady Anne Hemphill, founder of Pony Club in Ireland, an organization to which many equine professionals once belonged."

Sexual Practices Among Lesbians, 2006.
Examines the lack of information regarding the transmission of STDs among the lesbian and bisexual community.

Abstract
Sexual practices of all groups of people have been under the microscope since the first discovery of HIV/AIDS. Most of the data has been related to gay and bisexual men and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV/AIDS. This paper argues that there is a group of people that also have a risk of transmitting STDs who have not been studied extensively. This group is the lesbian and bisexual woman.
From the Paper
"While the incidence of STDs may not be as great, that, by no means, indicates a low risk factor. The lack of knowledge about the transmission of diseases is a factor in the prevalence of transmission. There seems to be a lack of printed information about the transmission of STDs in the lesbian community. Additionally, the lack of communication in the lesbian community with each other about these increasing risks leads to unsafe sexual practices. As with heterosexual partners, the possibility of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases through oral sex seems to come as a surprise to many people."
