became passionately invested in the story of a young girl named Sarah Starzynski. Julia was one of the many characters who thoroughly believed that it is in everybody's best nature to remember; that people like Sarah Starzynski, and William Rainsford need to hear that someone, if only one person, truly cares about the horrors of the Vel d’Hiv.

By evaluating the various structures and its functionality it provides, the function of gender contributes to the stability of our society. Specifically gender roles assign the responsibilities of women and men. In social role theory the gender stereotypes arise from historical occupations such as men being the breadwinner and women being the homemaker. In order to be in harmony with this perspective it is that women and men become active participants of these gender stereotypes in the workforce (Rudman & Phelan, 2010, p. 192). Stereotypes are learnt through the socialization process and influence stereotypical characteristics and roles. Interestingly enough Rudman & Phelan (2010) suggest that women exposed to non-traditional gender occupations,…

Ever since all of the chaos with the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, it has drastically changed for the better in some cases. It’s mainly sexually transmitted, but in some cases today it’s mainly spread from drug users using unsanitary needles and equipment. Also, according to the CDC, around half of the cases being evaluated are of gay and bisexual men. Cases are more noticeable in the Southern and Eastern states. A lot has changed over the years and the topic of HIV/AIDS is unfortunately not talked about as much since the epidemic. Although it’s publicized very much on social media to keep people aware, it’s never mentioned much on television as much as it use to be. No matter if there’s an epidemic or not HIV/AIDS should always be a serious…
During my life I've experienced a handful of prejudices and stereotypes for example one stereotype I encounter a lot is that all light skin people are rude and stuck up but when I'm actually kind and down to Earth I just have a natural mean face. Another stereotype I unfortunately get a lot is that I think I'm better than everyone else because I have light skin and long hair which isn't true at all I think that everyone's equal and all the same because we bleed the same blood, walk the same Earth, breath same air and we're all just human so I can't be greater than someone else. I feel that these stereotypes are just stupid and need to forgotten about because it causes your view to change about a person just by the way they look and what their skin color is.…

The underlining meaning was that since she got favor from her men manager.…
Any kind of culture can influence the way any person of any gender behaves. One rather popular part in American culture is football, the sport people all over the country hold all kinds of parties and other get-togethers just to celebrate. Families, schools, organizations, even churches all play football at some point, and the game’s popularity is nearly obscene. However, behind the half-time snacks and scantily clad cheerleaders, the football players struggle to fit into their gender roles just like any other man. Nobody really thinks about this because athletes never really discuss it, unless they come out as gay. Even then, they keep silent. Yet, there is one former football player who decided to speak of his experience in his essay, ""Kill 'em! Crush 'em! Eat 'em Raw!"". This…
