Abstract
The paper discusses how Marx and others maintain that the most significant cause of female oppression is economic oppression. The paper shows how Marx believed that environment shapes the individual and he blamed economic depression on the capitalist/private property system that is in place in most of the world today. The paper also quotes Jaggar, a well known feminist, who believed that there is a direct and traceable link between class structure and the oppression of women. The paper concludes that the only way women will reach the status of true equality will be for them to be treated as equals in the economic sphere with equal pay for equal jobs, with credit being allowed for women with the same criteria as it is for men, and with women being offered an equal say in the economic decisions their families and government make.
Outline:
Introduction
Marx
Jaggar
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The feminist movement was big in the 1960's and 1970's in many industrialized nations, however the less developed nation and some of the developed nations did not jump on the bandwagon when it came to the equalization of women. The oppression of women has been occurring in many nations for many years and one significant factor that it can be reduced to is economic repression. Whether it is because women do not get paid as much as men do for the same job, or men in the homes keep a rein on the purse strings it cannot be denied that the underlying factor in the oppression of women is by wielding economic depression as a tool."

Abstract
The paper relates that Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Kate Chopin wrote their two respective short stories, "The Yellow Wall Paper" and "The Story of An Hour" within two years of each other in the 1890s. The paper discusses how both authors wanted to change their lives and the control their husbands had over them. The paper points out a number of similarities in their plot, symbolism and characters.
From the Paper
"Both stories utilize a very similar plot, setting, and symbols to come to their unfortunate endings. Each of the women is described as a very sensitive character, as females were characterized during this era. In the story "Yellow Wall Paper," the female narrator's physician says that she has a "temporary nervous depression," which would have been called post-partum depression today. In "The Story of an Hour," Mrs. Mallard is afflicted with heart trouble. However, these illnesses are not actually why these women are treated as they are. It is because wives and mothers had certain roles to perform and are to behave in specific ways dictated by their husbands and society in general."

Abstract
This paper examines components of restrictive rent control legislation and its economic and social consequences in America. This examination focuses specifically on rent control applications in New York City and the urban cities of Santa Monica and Berkeley, California. Additionally, the paper discusses how government regulations violate two of the eight basic principles of economic thinking. These basic principles are: (1) incentives matter ? choice is influenced in a predictable way by changes in economic incentives and (2) economic actions often generate secondary effects in addition to their immediate effects.
From the Paper
"Rent control is one of the most controversial social welfare programs in existence. In 1943 and after World War II, the federal government enacted rent controls as a ?temporary? attempt to combat housing shortages in intensive populated or urban areas and to protect residents from high housing prices. Opponents argue that rent control result in decreased levels of construction, decreased levels of maintenance on existing properties, and abnormal housing vacancies, and is therefore economically ineffective. Some opponents even feel that rent control causes homelessness. Advocates of rent control and rent stabilization see it as a way to ensure the availability of affordable rental housing for low and middle-income urban dwellers. Rent control advocates contend ? there was already a housing shortage and that rent-control laws were enacted to keep landlords from taking advantage of the situation by ?gouging? tenants? (Sowell, 1999). Many rent control proponents feel that the abolishment of rent controls would result in increased homelessness. "

Women Mentoring Women, 2000.

Abstract
This is an exhaustive paper examining the way that women mentor women in modern American professional society. Examines the history of the phenomenon, and gives information on how mentoring should be given and received.
From the Paper
"Women mentoring women in the workplace is a relatively new phenomenon. Woman-to-woman mentoring encompasses circumstances and rules that are specific to a female style and representative of a female culture. The workplace puts demands on our priorities and our energy that bring new factors into woman-to-woman relationships. Our identity as professional women with career responsibilities affects our interactions with other women who are also committed to improving their performance and achieving greater success. Women learning from women at work, women mentoring each other as career professionals with job and personal lives, is an emerging opportunity with enormous potential to change work and women's lives for the future (Duff, 1999, p. xv & xvi). Mentoring begins with an influence that someone has upon another person. It also can help to shape and develop a person's personality and thoughts. In research, it has been proven that women need role models that help them to pursue and conquer future endeavors in the workforce. Discovery into the differences between males and females might be a way to unlock strategies to aid in diversity counseling as well as provide positions in organizations that are solely devoted to mentorship."

Women's Poetry and Women's Politics, 2002.
A comparison between the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser and that of Adrienne Rich, and an exploration of their feminist messages.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poetry of Muriel Ruckeyser, as found in her book ?The Book of the Dead?, and that of Adrienne Rich, using her work entitled "Twenty-one Love Poems". The paper gives a biographical background on each of the poets, stressing their importance to the contemporary women?s movement and to American poetry. Rich?s poems are explored for their ideas on the relationships between women, and Ruckeyser?s are studied in terms of their comparison to a documentary and in relation to her strong political view.
From the Paper
"To many, Poetry is the voice of women. It is the way in which women can express their inner thoughts and feelings, to write the things that they can not say. Poetry is more than words on paper but someone?s feelings and life poured into the readers mind. Poets let the readers climb inside their heads and taste what the poet feels, sees, and thinks.
Two major women poets that are in the inner ring of American feminist poets are Muriel Ruckeyser and Adrienne Rich. Though their poetry may be different in content, many of their messages are the same: we need to be heard. Ruckeyser?s ?The Book of the Dead? describes conditions and feelings of the Gauley Bridge tragedy through actual courtroom testimonies to words from actual citizens of the town. Adrienne Rich?s ?Twenty-one Love Poems? describes in many ways, her love of her companion as well as their struggles and times together."

Wallace Stevens and Desire: Woman Lost--Woman Ignored, 2005.
A psychosexual and archetypal study of feminine figures in "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the "Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens", America poet. The paper shows that desire and desired denied in this work may be interpreted through the archetypal psychology of Carl Jung to disclose the reason for Stevens' preference for places over people and to explain his ambivalence toward the abstract feminine figures in his poems.
From the Paper
"Feminine archetypes reconstruct the distant attitudes in Stevens' poetry by figuring-forth embedded emotions. First, they provide an archetypal perspective on individual poems. Second, they illustrate how, ranging from Harmonium (1923) to The Rock (1954), clusters of motifs influence the poet-hero's psychic development. Although their appearances change to fit their ambiguous roles, these singular feminine figures determine the poet-hero's canon-long struggle to achieve a regulated unity of self. Two categories need to be distinguished: (a) feminine figures and (b) the interior paramour. Their protean capability makes scrupulous demarcations between exterior feminine figures impossible, but three forms or combinations prevail: the summer maiden (Kore or lover), the universal mother or earth mother, and the maiden-mother (an overlapping maid and mother figure). The interior paramour represents a climax to the poet-hero's experience with exterior feminine figures."

Economic Equilibrium, 2008.
This paper describes the way economic equilibrium is achieved through adjustments of fiscal and monetary policies.
895 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that economic equilibrium can only be achieved when an effective balance between supply and demand, income and consumption and stasis in the current account is achieved. The author points out that the two economic policy engines--fiscal policy and monetary policy-do not work in conflict but rather in tandem. The paper relates that fiscal policy is the responsibility of the federal government; whereas, the responsibility for monetary policy rests with the U.S. central bank structure and is directed by the Federal Reserve Chairman. The author underscores that monetary policy is designed to increase gross domestic product (GDP) and to control inflationary pressures in the long-term; whereas fiscal policy is aligned normally with principles of short run economic growth while controlling long term economic expansion associated with overheated economic activities.
Table of Contents:
Introduction "3 Issues"
Opposing Viewpoint
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In order to control the monetary balance, the Federal Reserve has several forms of financial transactions and adjustments that directly affect the money supply. The most obvious one would be a mortgage. Every time that a lending institution approves and disburses a new mortgage it is effectively expanding the federal supply of money. Yet, the Federal Reserve also affects a change in the supply of money indirectly every time it adjusts the Federal Funds rate."

Support of Birth Control, 2004.
An opinion paper that argues birth control should be a woman's choice.
784 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses why the writer is in favor of birth control for women. Birth control is certainly a personal choice, and it should be a personal choice, not a societal or religious choice. It argues that, ultimately, the choice to have a child should rest between a man and a woman, and not in the mores of a society or outdated religious beliefs. Those who would raise a child should be the ones to decide whether they have a child or not.
From the Paper
"I am in support of birth control for a number of reasons. First, it is a safe alternative to unwanted pregnancies. Teen pregnancy is down in America today, however, teen pregnancy is still an enormous problem, with over 1 million teens getting pregnant every year ("Gift of Life"). This is an enormous number of young women giving birth to mostly unwanted babies, and birth control could have saved these women from an unwanted pregnancy, and saved the children from what could very well be a life of poverty and hardship. It is well known most unwed mothers fall under the poverty levels in our country, and it is quite difficult for them, or their children, to climb out of poverty and into the middle class. In fact, one expert sadly notes, "They [unwed mothers] see career or economic opportunities as out of their reach and have little motivation to remain abstinent and delay pregnancy and parenting" (Sawhill).

Economic Globalization, 2006.

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that in economic globalization there should be free trade or what can be called "flow of goods or services". The writer looks at the benefits of economic globalization in today's international market. Further, the writer discusses the downfalls of economic globalization and looks at its negative effects. The writer examines how huge corporations have always favored economic globalization and because they control the policy and influence the elections, their policies always promote economic globalization regardless of its negative effects seen globally. The writer contends that the general public is against this view and aims for a system that would help the people to get more jobs and allow the developing countries to get developed. The writer concludes that it is important that people should realize that economic globalization is not the best option and there is a need to drift to alternatives presented by many economists who aim for a better future.
From the Paper
"Trade is an important factor for the economical strengthening of the nations across the globe. The exports would be the input of the money into the country where the imports are described as the output of money of a country or nation. Moreover, due to international trade, the consumers in America have the chance to buy the same goods which the local producers make, at relatively cheap prices which do not affect the quality of the product. It is the trade of one good that a country specializes in with a good that another specializes in. Therefore both import and export are necessary and one cannot exist without another. International trade also reduces the inflexibility of an economy and enhances its flexibility and thus enables it to respond to the changing of the economic condition. Competition increases with trade and thus every organization aims at producing better quality products at lower prices. In practical this is seen in the case of Japan, who in a small time frame has successfully produced low-priced yet high quality products as compared to other competitors from across the globe."

Women in Islam, 2002.
A personal opinion paper about how Islam controls women.

Abstract
This paper is written in first person and describes how after conversations with some Muslim men, the writer came to the conclusion that Islam's attitude to women is wrong and that their aim is to embarrass and control women.
From the Paper
"When one experiences a religion that manipulates its fundamental beliefs to accommodate personal discrimination, it invalidates its purpose. It has always been my understanding that the belief in peace, faith, and conscientiousness is fundamental to any religion. As an example, the religion of Islam teaches the faithful how to live in harmony among the different races on the earth, as well as demonstrate to us how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. In other words, to be Muslim is predicated on the concept that what one does not want for oneself, should not be wished for the fellow human being. As a result of my conversations with young Muslim men at Chapman College, I learned that this basic doctrine is being modified to frustrate and control women. Due to men?s selfishness, and the pervasive desire to exercise superiority and control over females, current interpretations of the Islamic religion have made it a torture and misfortune for members of the female gender, and this cruel reality is best exemplified by its unfair concept of the role of women in Muslim society.

While there might be more economic efficiency and more economic progress, Canada will lose its ability to hold on to its social programs and ability to control its own autonomy. In other words, the increase of Canadian-American economic integration will restrict the real choices that Canadian leaders can make.

Jordan's Politico-Economic Reforms, 2005.
The paper discusses democratization and economic liberalization prospects in Jordan.
2,224 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 101.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The research paper explores the possibilities of Jordan's adopting a liberal democratic system of government within the context of the political and economic reforms it is currently undertaking. To the outside observer, and as affirmed by political analysts, Jordan has an authoritarian system of government. Yet, the country's leadership claims that it is instituting political and economic reforms that aim towards the liberalizing and the democratizing of Jordan. Through a review of Huntington's theory that liberal democracy can emerge from authoritarian systems through gradual political reforms that slowly open up the country and relax the government's control over political rights and freedoms, this paper determines whether or not this is the case with Jordan. In other words, the paper discusses the economic and political status of Jordan and tries to determine the aim of reforms and their ultimate consequences and goals.
From the Paper
"By the time of his death, King Hussein had ruled over Jordan as its absolute monarch for almost half a century. He had guided the country through the long years of the Arab-Israeli conflict, had survived coup d'etats against him, and had often entered into serious political disagreements with other Arab political leaders. Probably, his worst political decision had been to support Saddam Hussein in face of his invasion of Kuwait. For that, the Gulf leaders never forgave him. However, ultimately, and according to the pro-King Hussein political commentators, he left his son a stable country, at peace with its neighbours, especially Israel, and on the brink of economic and political reform (Abdullah). In other words, according to this analysis of the political and economic status of Jordan at the time that King Abdullah took over the government, the outlook was positive. However, before establishing this outlook as an objective and accurate analysis of Jordan's political and economic situation at the time of King Hussein's death, it needs to be emphasized that this is the opinion voiced by his son, King Abdullah. Therefore, it is hardly objective and, quite possibly, inaccurate."

"The Effects of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Agreement on the Economic Development of Egypt
Introduction:
Egypt has had a long, troubled road to economic development.

This paper will examine that struggle with special emphasis on the impact of the Camp David Peace Accord on economic development in Egypt.
The economic history of Egypt, beginning in the mid-1800's, will first be explored in order to put post-Camp David..."

Economic and Political Thoughts of Key Economists, 2002.
This paper looks at the the economic and political thoughts of key economists on the role of government in the economy.
3,765 words (approx. 15.1 pages), 10 sources, MLA, AU$ 150.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper summarizes the economic and political thought of key economists and classifies them according to the level of government control on the economy. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who believed in the public ownership of productive property, are the advocates of strong, centralized government control. At the other end, Adam Smith, Joseph Schumpeter, Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman all espoused laissez faire economics. The middle ground is the fiscal policy of John Maynard Keynes. The second part of this paper discusses why the Keynesian model is both informed by and compatible with Christian principles. In the third part the writer recommends against increasing government regulations on the United States economy in the face of technology such as Napster and cloning. Instead, he argues that a careful application of Keynesian programs would ensure that the Unites States economy remains healthy and competitive.
From the Paper
"The fact that capitalism continues to flourish, despite the predictions of Marx and Schumpeter, are testament to this economic system?s primacy. Though they had different reasons for sounding capitalism?s death knell, Marx and Schumpeter made a common mistake by underestimating how much technology revives capitalism. Marxist scholars such as Lenin later showed how capitalism has involved into imperialism, given that technology allows capitalists to extend their private ownership beyond the nation-state. Schumpeter, on the other hand, did not anticipate how these technology such as the internet have given rise to a new kind of ?daring entrepreneur,? who have in turn created new industries and opened new markets."
