Abstract
This paper explores gender-specific programming for females. It explains that gender-specific programming is defined as services developed and/or targeted for either males or females. Gender-specific programming began in the early 1990s due to the increasing number of females entering the juvenile justice system; the majority of programs in place at that time were geared towards males.
From the Paper
"Researchers working on the development of programs for females maintain that a gender-specific program should also address the particular issues and problems that affect females, not just programs that serve females exclusively. While both sexes in the juvenile justice system share some issues, each has their own unique needs and issues. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, substance abuse, poor academic performance, and teen pregnancy increase females' risk for delinquency. Females are considered the weaker of the sexes. They need positive female role models, a sense of belonging and emotional security to strengthen their resistance against delinquency. Their needs are different from males (Holsinger, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper reviews how the increase of female drug abuse has changed how American families have adapted. It also looks at the burdens that are placed upon their children, their families and the court system. The paper then discuss some of the benefits to women and their families when they are placed in gender-specific drug treatment facilities.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Life History of a Female Drug User
Obstacles
Community Influences
The Impact on Families
Types of Treatment Available
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Court ordered out patient treatment is another benefit for female addicts. Court ordered treatment allows an offender to receive drug treatment therapy and counseling in lieu of going to jail for a criminal act. Many areas have Drug Courts, that mirrors court ordered out patient treatment. Out patient treatment allows the women to remain free in order to care for their households and children, but they are mandated to remain clean. The women are assigned a probation officer, who ensures the completion of mandatory guidelines established by the judge. Frequent drug test are conducted to determine if the women are drug free, and most are required to attend NA meetings, parenting seminars, and vocational training. All of the requirements are geared to reducing the rates of relapse and recidivism of the women. Drug court is usually available for 1st time offenders."

Abstract
This paper examines how men and women have many more options today when it comes to their choices in periodicals, as opposed to even a short thirty years ago, and how, although they both have the shared increase in choices, there are some very universal differences between the two genders. It discusses how, although it may be men preferring topic-specific magazines, while women enjoy generalized periodicals, or the way members of their sex and the opposite sex are displayed, or even the thrust of advertising campaigns found throughout, in the end there?s no getting around it: men's and women?s periodicals are simply different, just as men and women themselves are.
From the Paper
"Another apparent difference between men?s publications and women?s is the use of the opposite sex in their photos. Men?s magazines are typically on two ends of the spectrum. If women are shown in a photograph it is typically of a sexual nature. Note the scantily clad gals lounging across motorcycles in any Easy Rider issue. Also, Sports Illustrated?s most popular issue year in and year out is their swimsuit issue. Men displayed in men?s magazines are usually shown demonstrating a topic, emulating what other men wish they could be, do or have. Interestingly enough, very rarely do you see children in men?s magazines."

Abstract
This paper shows the difference that agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation made in gender relationships.
From the Paper
"The first evidence of agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation that archaeologists and anthropologists have distinguished come from groups termed Horticulturists. Though the past record remains relatively scant in regards, anthropologists have used existing ones as a locus of study and interpretation. More numerous than surviving hunter-gatherer groups, horticultural societies also show an incredible range of gender diversity between groups, more numerous, in fact, than any other extent societal model. The quantity of studies that has come as a result of this are astounding. Those done in the area of New Guinea alone, home to at least two hundred different horticultural societies, provide ample evidence to add weight to the debate of nurture over nature, by sheer examples of the differences in living and understanding gender roles in such a relatively small and homogenous environmental area.

Gender Socialization, 2002.
A paper which examines the role of gender-specific toys on gender roles in society.
1,543 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that gender roles are perpetuated and learned through gender socialization and that toys are considered a type of gender socializing agent. The paper argues that social formation of gender by the means of toys is detrimental to the whole equity of society, because it reinforces gender differentiation and sexism. The paper gives several examples of toys which promote gender-specific messages such as baby dolls and play make-up for little girls. Finally, the paper looks at ways to reverse gender stereotyping in our society and shows how several toy manufactures are shedding the gender stereotypes on their products.
From the Paper
"Thus, gender distinctions imposed by societal culture and framework define the behaviors of male and female individuals, which are arranged in a pattern. Women cannot do the things prescribed for men, and vice versa. Hence, we observe that toys are a form of gender socialization, which in turn, transmits the gender roles. In turn, gender roles contribute to cultural and social framework, which are imposed upon newborns through the socializing agents, such as toys. This forms a cycle that explains how gender role socialization reflects and constitutes the framework of the American society."

Abstract
This paper answers three questions regarding the operation of a specific development program operating in developing nations. The website evaluated for the answers to these three questions was Srihaswani's 'Manual Skills for Self Reliance', found at http://www.srihaswani.com. The questions examined the goals of the organization and the role that gender plays.
From the Paper
"This development group, Srihaswani, works in Southeast Asia in villages of mixed religious and ethnic backgrounds. It refers to itself as a creative manual skills for self-reliant development program. The primary development objectives of this group are to create self-sufficient, parallel, and local economies that are built on the creative manual labor of the local community. This is an important distinction. Firstly, it means that the organization strives to encourage the development of traditional skills that improve the quality of life of the community through creativity and through direct interaction. Secondly, the organization is distinct because their primary development objective isn't to increase the ability of the community to interact at the national or global level."

Gender and Technology Theory, 2008.
An essay arguing that modern technology is not contributing towards closing the gender gap between men and women and that it is the social constructs that encourage gender specific technology that must be changed.
985 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, AU$ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, rather than being gender neutral, modern technology is actually quite gender specific. The paper then sites several examples of technology that support this contention and suggests that the technology also seems to imply that women are less competent or less able to operate technology as well as men and need adapted technology. The paper concludes that technology has not 'liberated' women in that technology remains a gendered subject and that, if we want to advance the prospects of women, we must first create cultural change, as technological advances do not automatically promote gender inequality .
From the Paper
"The creation of gendered technology has continued at a strong pace, no longer a domain of household gadgets or curling irons but a realm that includes reproductive technologies serving women, as technology supporting child-bearing women. Women are unwittingly helping a new technology sector from which males profit in the growing numbers to have children later in life, to engage in sex selection, or to demand children through relatively to very high risk cases. This technological enterprise can perhaps be seen as post-industrial child-bearing as a new industry carrying on from the industrial era. In sum, technology has not 'liberated' women in that technology remains a gendered subject. Those who expected something different are advised to trace the much longer history of gender as a socially constructed phenomenon. Cultural change must be created to alter ideas of gender, as opposed to hoping that technological advances will progress the prospects of women."

Table of Contents:
Why I Broke Up with Philip (Relational Communication)
Gender and Media Communication
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Amy can be very assertive when it comes to defending children. In one scene I watched she was being interviewed on a television news talk show. She debated a corrupt politician who was running for office on the issue of trying children as adults for their crimes. The male politician was pictured as exploiting the issue in order to make a name for himself and get elected. He didn't care about children at all. Amy talks about her knowledge of children as human beings whom she relates to every day eye-to-eye. She tells off the politician and calls him a "self-seeking demagogue." "

Children and Gender Roles, 2004.
An analysis of how gender-specific behavior is imposed on children.
2,605 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 126.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how both male and female children in our society are socialized from a very young age to behave in specific, predefined ways that are considered to be appropriate for their genders. It looks at how, beginning with the parents of children and then including many other influential factors in society, many sources define what type of behavior is to be expected from children of each gender. Male and female children of all ages are given guidelines to follow regarding proper interaction with others and acceptable behavior in social situations.
From the Paper
"A reflection of how gender roles are determined and enforced in society can be seen in a number of sources. For one example, research has shown that children?s literature is influenced by gender role definitions, as well as helping to make and encourage those definitions. ? In children's literature, males typically are portrayed as competent and achievement oriented, while the image of females is that they are limited in what they do, and less competent in their ability to accomplish things. Female characters are involved in few of the activities and assigned few of the characteristics or goals that are accorded prestige and esteem in our society.? (Kortenhaus) This separation of the abilities of boys versus girls in something as influential as children?s literature creates something of a self-fulfilling prophecy."

Abstract
This paper defines "array" as a type of data structure that can contain multiple items, all of the same kind. An array can also be defined as any variable type, that can form the basis of an array definition. Arrays are used to pass on information and are applied to various types of computer programming such as C and C++ assembly language as well as Pascal, one of the earliest programming languages. Higher level languages such as COBOL and the Pick family of languages use arrays as well. This paper details in technical terms the advantages and disadvantages in using arrays in programming. In computer programming, arrays are used anytime a collection of strings needs sorting or analysis. This would include most business uses. Arrays are helpful in electronic data interfacing as well.
Table of Contents:
Background on Arrays
What is an Array?
Why is an Array Used?
Advantages of Using Arrays
Disadvantages of Using Arrays
Uses of Arrays in C++
How Arrays Must Be Handled
How Arrays Sort and Search
Types of Arrays Used

Multidimensional Arrays
In What Applications are Arrays Used
An Example of an Array
Works Cited and Bibliography
From the Paper
"Borland C++ for Dummies calls Arrays, "Arrays of Hope". Michael Hyman goes on to say that the great thing about arrays is that each element in the array has a number, called an index, that you can use to easily access the information in that element. You can also use loops to look at all the elements (or a range of elements) in a particular array. The array index lets you access any of the items in the array immediately. This makes random access much faster than using lists for storing information." COBOL programming uses lists or tables to store information and its access time is much slower than C. On the other hand, Pick Systems use Arrays to store strings the same way that C and C++ does. This automatic data base language also uses loops to read and print strings the same as C does."

Abstract
This paper presents a way in which television stations attempt to gain viewers during so-called sweeps weeks. A description of how sweeps determine the price that advertisers pay to television stations is also addressed as well as the impact of advertising revenue on television stations. The types of news stories promoted to attract viewers are also discussed. A content analysis of a local broadcast news story, WHAS 11, as well as several others, offers direct findings that sweeps occur close to home and nationwide.
From the Paper
"The research presented in the following pages will address the characteristics of broadcast news programming during the sweeps weeks. Sweeps are periods in which news channels seek to gain high ratings by means of programming that sparks viewer interest. In local TV news, the golden rule of story selection is: "If it bleeds, it leads." However, during sweeps months, its best if the story captivates and entertains."

Programming Languages, 2004.
This paper lists the ten most important things to know when selecting a programming language.
700 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 3 sources, APA, AU$ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that there are quite a number of programming languages in the market; hence, a developer needs to match the capabilities of a programming language against the requirements of the program he will develop. The author points out that it also is essential to consider the environment, both technical and operational, in which the new program will operate. The paper lists one of the considerations as the speed of the programming language.
From the Paper
"Most of the time, system integration, wherein programs are made to connect with each other, is needed to allow a more successful automation. However, programs are not usually developed in the same programming language. Hence, in such a case, it is essential that the programming language to use must have communication capabilities to other programming platforms."

Abstract
This paper explains that multi threading or programming entails an operating system literally slicing time up so that each program can run smoothly to completion without interfering with any other program. The author points out that new operating system technology allows programs such as MS-Word, which has been written and compiled to run in a certain sequence, to be run out of sequence yet the results still comes out correctly to the user as though the program ran in order; this technique, called Out-Of-Order execution is similar to how multi-threading works. The paper relates that background processing allows printing or backing up a system's pertinent data while playing Solitaire in the foreground or for KaZaA users to create a CD while listening to another song playing in the foreground.
From the Paper
"New programming languages such as Java and C++ all recommend that for programmers to incorporate multiple threading concepts directly into programs so operating system have less responsibility. Java implements a thread scheduler that can help decide if and when each thread should execute. Operating systems of the past could only tell dumb programs how long a particular thread was but not when to run it in a CPU cycle -- today, programs like Java can make this type of decision. "For instance, when a lower-priority thread is running and a higher-priority thread resumes (from sleeping or waiting on I/O, for example), it will preempt the lower-priority thread." "
