Abstract
This paper discusses that the impact a spinal cord injury (SCI) has on the sexual functioning depends on the type and level of injury, the treatment and the medication used. This paper reports that the physical effects following severing of the spinal cord are the lack of sexual arousal due to psychogenic stimuli; physiological arousal is possible. The author believes it is important that the patient?s condition is evaluated recognizing the change in lifestyle that SCI demands.
From the Paper
"As in all other human bodily systems, the central nervous system controls sexual function. Any injury to the central nervous system consequently affects sexual function. The question is to what extent function and sensation will be affected with injuries at various levels and degrees of severity. (Boller & Frank, 1982) In the normal course of life, women generally have alterations in their sexual desire, ability to lubricate and/or have comfortable intercourse, or in their ability to reach or feel orgasm. Changes to genital sensation or urinary or bowel incontinence also affect the sexual response. Fortunately, women with neurological changes not affecting their hormonal status are usually fertile. Like men, overall sexual functioning, and risk of bladder and bowel incontinence, mobility issues, general health, medication, relationships and sexual self-view also determine a woman's sexual interest."

Abstract
This paper examines how being a minority, specifically an African- American minority with a spinal cord injury or other disability, impacts one?s lifestyle, outlook, social status, and potential for success/employment.
From the Paper
"According to Killeen & O?Day (2002), a new paradigm of disability has emerged in the last two decades that views persons with a disability as the product of the interaction between individuals and their surroundings. New research has worked toward crafting a new definition of disability, one that defines disability as a product of the interaction between ?the individual and environment? suggesting that the problems associated with a disability ?stern from a disabling environment rather than from the personal defects of deficiencies? (Killeen & O?Day, 2002, p. 9)."

Abstract
This paper deals with the increase in knee injuries among female athletes. The author presents hard facts to support his position and provides a personal perspective on the subject. In addition the author provides examples of ways in which knee injuries occur and the various names for the different kinds of injuries.
From the Paper
"The knee joint is one of the most complicated and critical joints of the human body. The knee has to bear the entire body weight, shift balance and adjust direction of movement all smoothly and in efficient coordination. It is not surprising that injuries occur to this particular joint. The primary elements of the knee include the large bone structures: the femur, patella, tibia, and the fibula. What moves the bones of course are the muscles: flexors (biceps femoris, semimembraneous, semitendinous, sartorius, gracilis and extensors quadriceps and patellar. Now, within those larger structures are smaller but nonetheless critical components: the various ligaments which stabilize the bones and muscles such as the medial and lateral Collateral Ligaments and the Anterior and Posterior Cruciate Ligaments usually termed ACL and PCL."

Abstract
The paper presents several rationales behind the increase in ACL injuries among female athletes, including an anatomical explanation. The author differentiates between male and female knee construction, and discusses the increased demand placed on this joint by increasingly competitive female sports.
From the Paper
"There has been a tremendous increase in the number of female athletes in the past generation. Undoubtedly because of the rise in feminism and the consequent rise in consciousness of equality across the board in our culture there has been a simultaneous increase in the number of athletic programs, clinics, sports per se for all categories and at all levels of physical skill. As female athletes have gained a foothold in the world of sports and athletics generally, not surprisingly the female athlete is also experiencing an increase in injuries related to sports events. This is not simply a matter of more injuries per se as the female population increases; it reflects a rise in the injury because of the very nature of the female anatomy."

Abstract
This paper examines job placement issues, with specific emphasis on the population of people with spinal cord injuries. There are many job placement issues that individuals both with and without spinal cord injuries face. Among them are finding meaningful and long-term employment that matches one's individual skills, talents, experience, and ability. The paper contends that job placement is a critical issue for many people with spinal cord injuries, as maintaining some form of meaningful employment has been shown to improve the overall quality of life and reported life satisfaction among persons with spinal cord injuries.

Introduction
Characteristics of the Population
Review of Literature
Recommendations and Applications to the Field of Rehabilitation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Individuals with spinal cord injuries face lifelong challenges with regard to lifestyle and employment. Studies suggest that several factors may impact an individual's probability of acquiring meaningful employment after their injury. Job placement analysis and strategy is complex in a traditional setting. When addressing a population as unique and diversified as that of the disabled, the challenge becomes even more complex and complicated, presenting a unique area of study for rehabilitation specialists."

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. "

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. "

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)."

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.)."

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."
