People in the axial age had the concerns of no modern technology. They were also more religiously based‚ and there were new thoughts on various aspects. In a different situation‚ such as a modern day city‚ people would be more based on the utility of the location of the city. Also‚ there would be more industrial buildings and structures than religious ones. The housing settlements would also be different‚ as now there are more strictly defined residential areas. The city centers before used to be

Gender Roles in Literature In a society‚ there are set of accepted norms that expected to be met by everyone that is included within that society. As time passes‚ society begins to evolve and the standards change. What was once a normal standard of living in the early 1920’s may be seen as old fashioned and is no longer acceptable in the late 1980’s. These standards are the base of how one should live and are enforced through influences such as peers‚ media‚ and literature. Seeing women and male

Hero’s Journey vs. Heroine’s Journey The Hero’s Journey is a journey that many stories‚ fictional and nonfictional‚ follow. People think that a Hero’s Journey and a Heroine’s Journey would have different stages. Although people have different experiences based off their sex‚ a Heroine’s Journey would not have different stages than a Hero’s Journey because the hero’s sex does not change the stages of the monomyth. The stages of the Hero’s Journey are very general‚ just mentioning what actually happens

Women: The Root of All Evil? Author‚ congresswoman‚ and woman of the year Clare Booth Luce once said‚ "Because I am a woman‚ I must make unusual efforts to succeed.

Willa Cather makes an argument for the “modern woman” in My Ántonia (1918) by using the oft brazen sexuality of her female characters. While there are shades of a clearer take on the viability of an independent woman in Lena Lindgard’s aversion to marriage and Antonia’s willful determination as a single mother jilted by her lover‚ Cather uses the increasingly unabashed sensuality of both Ántonia and Lena in the second book of her novel (entitled “The Hired Girls”) as a means by which to capture

The paintings “The Lifeline” by Winslow Homer and “Prairie on Fire” by Charles Deas are two paintings that really struck out to me as similar. I think Homer’s painting‚ “The Lifeline”‚ is a very dramatic painting because of how the lady is just laying there passed out while this brave man is swinging across dangerous waves and rocks to get them to safety. Its very different from looking at in class because you can actually see the texture and brush strokes the artist used. When standing in front

"Buffy‚ The Vampire Slayer: A Gender Discussion" What is gender? The answer to that is not so simple. "Gender is what culture makes out of the raw material’ of biological sex‚" (Unger and Crawford‚ 1995). Also‚ there is a difference between what is gender identity and what is a gender role; a difference which seems to be even more difficult to differentiate between than the words "gender" and "sex". Media and other parts of our culture seem to believe they know the difference
