Abstract
This paper explains that, in various Caribbean countries, women have very few ways of supporting their families and thereby capitalizing on their sexuality through sex work is within their conformist respectable cultures. The author points out that most North American and European female prostitutes are motivated by their heroin and crack cocaine addictions; whereas, Caribbean prostitutes or sex workers are prompted by the opportunity to make a livable wage. The paper stresses that these Caribbean sex workers recognize their right to political activism as women to be taken seriously in tourist economies, which require their labor.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Caribbean prostitution points to more than differing ideas on sexuality's importance in the Caribbean culture zone and can remind of a "racialized relation of power and resistance" at local as much as global levels. Caribbean women are absolutely aware of the obstacles of sexism, racism of different kinds, and bleak economic prospects. Observers tending to pit respectable Caribbean cultures and their expectations of women against women of classes involved in prostitution need to explore again for women who take up sex work see very clearly local social and political orders divided by class."

Abstract
This paper examines through a literature review how there are a number of myths and stereotypes about women in our culture that have contributed to the under-reporting of childhood sexual abuse by female offenders. It explores the reasons behind the potential female abuser, such as past sexual and physical victimization, as well as ongoing physical victimization. It also looks at how the number of incarcerated women who are convicted of sex offenses is actually higher than believed and how they require a complex variety of treatment programs.
From the Paper
"Female sex offending appears to be associated more with relationship and dependency issues than with deviant sexual preferences (Nathan, Ward 2001). Early research and clinical experience suggests that female sex offenders are a heterogenous group who can be placed into distinct categories according to their psychological and offence characteristics (Nathan, Ward 2001). Individuals who fall into the pre-disposed category might require intensive fantasy work, while those whose offending occur in the context of a professional relationship, such a teacher-lover, need to focus on issues associated with power and control (Nathan, Ward 2001). Research and clinical experience suggest that treatment programs for women have only provisional utility and evidence based research is necessary to validate the usefulness of these programs (Nathan, Ward 2001)."

From the Paper
"The work of Kempadoo (2004) strives toward illumination of the inner working of the sex trade in the Caribbean as related to gender, sexuality, race and work and the economics of the sex industry. According to Kempadoo (2004) generally prostitution is viewed as violence toward women however Kempadoo challenges this accepted view holding that sex for money can be oppressive but in the lives of the women in the Caribbean it may also be a provider of a form of freedom. In the work "Global Sex Workers" the various authors use the term 'sex workers' very deliberately. The view held is that criminalization of prostitution is that it results in hurting the workers themselves instead of protecting them. The authors look at prostitution from an angle that looks at the deeper morals that exist within the inner-workings of the economics of prostitution and introduces the reader to the voice of the sex workers themselves. This work provides a candid view in the reality of prostitution in the Caribbean."

Abstract
This paper examines the inhumane and degrading life of black female slaves in the Caribbean. It furthermore shows that the last few hundred years positive changes in rectifying this abuse has been slow, however, movement since the 19th century to rectify the status quo is reported to reflect that the situation is steadily improving.
From the Paper
"Women in the Caribbean that were studied in this course have struggled for hundreds of years through slavery, inequality, and abuse. Women's rights are still an issue today in the Caribbean and they will continue to be so for a long time. In his book Faces of the Caribbean, John Gilmore describes the hardships of woman as they worked through the horrors of being beaten, worked hard, and used sexually during slavery and even further down the road. However, Gilmore makes it clear that women have made it very far since the early nineteenth century, and he quotes a Jamaican proverb that says, "A woman must never give up hope. Even under the most gloomy circumstances, there is a possibility that she will triumph in the end (Gilmore 141)."

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

The Medusa Myth and the Female Gaze, 2002.
This paper explores the portrayal of female figures in art and myth, focusing on the Medusa myth and the castrating power of the female gaze and their effect of the female self-image.

Abstract
The paper reviews in detail the image of Medusa that pits femininity and masculinity against each other and allowing masculinity to triumph. The paper continues by stating that the gaze of the painted female subject often is depicted with her eyes either diverted from the viewer, or coyly regarding him. The author states that myths like the Medusa myth and the female gaze instruct women that their sexuality is something to be suppressed, that a powerful woman is a dangerous woman, and that the male will triumph in the end.
From the Paper
"Though the familiar image of Medusa as a serpent-haired monster is attributed to the Greeks, the myth of Medusa actually has its roots in pre-classical Mediterranean culture. In the matriarchal societies that existed before Greek civilization, Medusa was far from reviled as she was by the Greeks; instead, she was worshipped as a beautiful mother deity who symbolized wisdom, fertility, and female power. With the advent of Greek civilization, the existing gynocentric religion and mythology were compelled to adapt to the new patriarchal value system."

Abstract
This paper examines wives? relationships with other women, be they mothers, daughters, or confidantes, as a destructive force in the minds of ancient Greek men.
From the Paper
"There are two main types of women that can change the course of an ancient Greek play by their effects on the tragic heroine: mother and confidante. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, we see the first of these types. Demeter, a mother distraught over her daughter?s abduction and rape, is only pacified by the breakup of Persephone?s marriage for four months out of the year. In this case, the cost of preserving the mother-daughter bond is the sacrifice of the daughter?s marriage for a third of every year. The maternal bond and the marriage bond seem to be incompatible; here, the two are unable to coexist spatially or temporally. It is Demeter who, by her passive-aggressive registration of disapproval, manages to become every son-in-law?s nightmare by turning his newlywed wife against him. "

Female Indian Presidents, 2008.
An analysis of the many ways in which a female president can potentially symbolize, and surely encourage, female empowerment in India.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at a number of issues in Indian society that will perplex even a female head of government. Specifically, time is devoted to looking at the foreign policy issue of immigrant Indian women abuse in America (perpetrated by spouses who are citizens or permanent residents of that country) and why a female leader could surely do no worse than her male predecessors. From there, the paper examines how social justice concerns may finally muscle their way to the forefront of Indian politics. The paper also devotes time to looking at the impetus a female leader might give to political representation initiatives aimed at providing women more seats in the national parliament after generations of marginalization.
From the Paper
"To start with, a female president can begin pushing for changes that will help address women's issues long ignored by male politicians; needless to say, these changes can also be changes in how India approaches other lands on various issues. For example, many Conditional Residency Status Immigrant Women who marry men classified as United States citizens or as permanent residents of America enjoy what is commonly known as "conditional residency" for 24 months. These women must file a joint application to get their condition lifted 90 days before the 24 month period expires. In the case of women who find themselves trapped in abusive relationships, the spouse almost invariably refuses to participate in a joint application. "

Sex in Advertising, 2006.
Examines how the exploitation of the female sex in advertisements impacts society.
1,607 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 9 sources, AU$ 83.95

Abstract
The role of sex appeal in advertising is undeniable. Most advertisements nearly cross the line of exploiting the models to advertise a product completely unrelated to the ad. The paper shows that it seems more and more advertisers are following the route of selling sex and hoping that the product somehow weaves its way into the mind of the viewer. The paper concludes that while society has a long way to go before the psychological and sociological impacts of women's portrayal in advertising is cleaned, it is good to see that initial attempts by companies like Nike are already underway. Sex may sell, and this fact may be irrefutable, but with broad-reaching affects reaching critical mass, a shift in the presentation of sex will hopefully change in coming advertisements. The paper shows that women's empowerment will do much to shift the sociological power and will undoubtedly frame a new social standing for female role-models.
From the Paper
"But sometimes the advertiser does not go so far as to destroy the societal role of women to further advance their product. A print ad by sketchers featuring singer Carrie Underwood shows her in what appears to be a shoe store as she gasps while five attractive 'shoe salesmen' crowd around her, clutching Sketchers brand shoes. There's a clear sociological shift of power depicted in this ad, but it does still play into stereotypes that society possesses. Rather than being a passive object of pleasure, the woman becomes actively pursued by the men in the ad. The power, then, falls to the woman who may then choose which of her pursuers - and, of course, which shoe - she will take. "

Abstract
The researcher reviews two male and two female leaders in large global organizations. The researcher examines the long-term objectives, mission, values and beliefs of the organization in an attempt to discern whether female led organizations are more apt to adopt different long- term goals than male led organizations. The paper shows how males and females are likely to perform equally well when afforded the opportunity to take on advanced leadership roles within an organization. The paper stresses, however, that as long as stereotypes exist regarding women's ability to perform adequately within the organizational leadership role, women will continue to struggle to maintain egalitarian representation in the world of corporate society.

From the Paper
"Studies suggest that roughly 79 percent of the female population and 82 percent of the male population believe that men and women manage differently and thus, contribute to the organization's bottom line in different ways (RBI, 2004). This assumes a potential difference in the ways male vs. female organizations lead, including their goal setting preferences. According to recent surveys of 1,000 employees RBI (2004) revealed that more and more women are also breaking into top organizational roles, and within these roles are more likely to be described as either "controlling, approachable or direct" (RBI, 2004)."

Japanese Female Jazz Performers, 2004.
This paper compares Japanese jazz and pop female performers to American female performers.

Abstract
This paper explains that pop music in Japan, referred to as kayokuoku, is an area in which it was very difficult for women singers to be successful until recently. The author points out that many Japanese pop vocalists, groomed by production companies, often did not develop their own material, whereas, most modern Western female vocalists now develop their own lyrics, which often tell tales of love, lust, and individuality. The paper relates that Japanese female performers work to build intimacy with their audience, participating in ?handshaking ceremonies? designed to encourage intimacy between fans and performers.
From the Paper
"Japanese jazz and pop female performers are currently undergoing a revolution of sorts. Most especially in the area of popular music, women are ?no longer bound by the whims of male songwriters? and many women vocalists are offering women new ways to view themselves and their relationships. Many women are pushing new cultural norms, especially that of a more independent woman, into the themes of the music they produce. A majority of female singers include lyrics in their songs that relate to their desires to express themselves and to be independent. This theme is also very common among American female jazz and pop vocalists."

The Female Body, 2008.
This paper discusses the female form, sexuality and society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in contemporary American society, the two genders are still socialized very differently in many respects. The Women's Liberation movement and civil rights
legislation of the late 20th century greatly improved women's rights in the last fifty years, but in the realm of self esteem, female attractiveness is still overemphasized in importance. The writer maintains that the natural power of the female form on men makes provocative clothes irresistible to many men, but it conflicts with other elements of social learning about sexual morality. The combination of the issue of gender-specific sexual socialization with constant messages to women encouraging them to accentuate their physical appeal and sexuality for social approval exposes women to sexual objectification in the work place and to deceptive misrepresentation within intimate relationships. The writer concludes that the solution lies mainly in eliminating the difference in male and female sexual socialization throughout society, including the mixed messages about the female form and female sexuality.
Outline:
Introduction
Mixed Messages about Sexuality and Attractiveness
The Influence of the Female Form on Relationships
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This mixed cultural message and focus on female attractiveness is further complicated by the fact that men are socialized to seek as much sexual activity as they can and socially rewarded for sexual conquests beginning in adolescence. By contrast, women are taught to withhold sexuality except within emotionally intimate relationships. This discrepancy and the natural power of the female form to draw male interest promotes a predatory relationship on the part of men toward women. Instead of honesty and mutual attraction and potential romantic interest, many social relationships initiated by men are deceitful in nature and motivated purely by a desire to fulfill a physical urge, even if that requires outright deception. To make matter worse, in many cases, the moral rationalization on the part of men is that women who emphasize their attractiveness and sexuality in their choice of clothes and style "deserve" to be objectified and used for their sexual purposes without concern for their feelings."

Introduction
Gang Overview
Female Gangs
Differences in Behaviors Between Male and Female Gangs
Female Gangs: Still a Cause for Social Concern
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Early on, sociologists and the media portrayed gangs as groups of deviants who were not clearly in violation of any laws, but were considered to be in violation of folkways. However, today the term "gang" conjures entirely different images. Instead of a group of boys hanging out on a corner, gangs today bring forth images of lawless groups, images that cause people to feel angry or fearful. Today, gangs are most often thought to be involved in violent crime and drug-related activities. "In other words, gangs have become to be viewed as groups of individuals involved in illicit or illegal drug-dealing accompanied by violence" ("Youth gang", n.d.)."
