Bridging the Gap Between Men and Women
From the Paper
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."

Abstract
The paper analyzes recent research which suggests that is it important to examine gender related differences in autobiographical memory. The paper further analyzes the available studies which suggest that gender differences do exist with respect to autobiographical memory, and may be the result of multiple factors including socialization and cognitive processes. The paper proposes to help fill the gap that currently exists with respect to this line of research. The literature review focuses on the current studies available analyzing the effects of gender on autobiographical recall. The paper specifically attempts to outline what, if any, gender differences exist, where they exist, why they exist and the implications of memory differences between the sexes.

Introduction
Autobiographical Memory: Gender Differentiation
Analysis and Summary of Literature
Critical Appraisal of Autobiographical Memory Research
From the Paper
"Evidence suggests that children's "schemas change as they age" enabling memories to change frequently, hence "memories from an early age have no suitable framework from which they can be retrieved" (Betz, et al. 1996). Recent research suggests however that children do learn how to represent events early on, and this ability does not change into adulthood. The method of representation to reveal autobiographical memory is through narratives, or the process of learning how to relate information regarding one's autobiographical history through story telling (Betz et al. 1996)."

Abstract
This paper discusses gender differences between men and women. It begins by differentiating sex from gender. It then details two of numerous theories about gender differences and classification: cognitive theory and sociological theory. The paper describes each theory and discusses how they can be practically applied to understand the differences between men and women.
From the Paper
"Emotionally speaking, men and women deal with it in different ways. Men are generally aggressive while women are more naturally nurturing and strong in social memories. It is a common belief that men are less emotional than women and more inclined in logic and reason when dealing with decisions and every day life. Women, on the other hand, are more in tuned with their emotions like happiness, sadness and fear. They also express anxiety and depression feeling than men. Men appear adept at maximizing their hostility and anger, and at minimizing emotions to do with vulnerability, guilt, fear and hurt. These emotional dealings are because men and women are controlled by different areas of the brain. The DNA of the male and female form a different base upon which experience falls. Our genetic makeup causes information to be stored in a slightly different manner, integrated in a slightly different way, interacting internally in a different way ... all sufficient to produce the observed psychological differences."

"Gender Differences in Pay", 2008.
A review of the article "Gender Differences in Pay" by F. Blau and L. Kahn.

Abstract
The paper examines the article, "Gender Differences in Pay" by F. Blau and L. Kahn where the authors discuss the differences in pay between men and women, their different occupations and discrimination. The paper looks at the valid reasons offered for the wage gap but points out that the article only briefly discusses the problem of discrimination. The paper believes that more information about discrimination and women should be discussed in any article about the wage gap between men and women.
From the Paper
"The wages women receive have risen since the 1970's to the present time. During the 1970's and earlier, people believed women should be paid less than men. Even the Bible states that the wages women should receive is 30 shekels of silver with men receiving 50 shekels (Kahn & Blau, 2000, p. 78). Different reasons for giving men higher wages were argued by the employers and women accepted the difference in pay. However, the wages women received began to increase during the 1980's and have continued to climb in the 1990's. Several problems exist as to why women fail to receive the same wage as men as they get older. Men receive higher wages in their 30's because women often quit their jobs due to having children and only continue to work when their children get older. Men usually stay on the job without taking any time off."

Gender Differences In Spatial Abilities, 2002.
This study tested 12 rats' spatial ability in the Morris water maze to check for gender difference.

Abstract
The paper is presented in the form of an experiment which was designed to test the spatial ability of six male and six female rats using the Morris water maze, in order to see if a gender difference was present. The paper describes the experiment - it shows that surrounding the submerged platform were four geometric cues and each rat ran three training and six testing trials on the first day, then six testing trials on the second day. Results showed that there was no significant difference in gender spatial ability. The paper attributed this finding to the fact that many variables were not controlled.
From the Paper
"Since its creation by Richard G. M. Morris, the Morris water maze (MWM) has helped researchers understand the spatial ability of rats. Many scientific experiments done using animals are aimed to predict the outcome of human beings when presented with the same situation. The studies done using the MWM were meant to reflect on the spatial ability of humans as well as of other species. These studies wanted to answer the basic question of ?how does an organism reach its goal object if they cannot see it?? Rats were used in these experiments for many practical reasons. Rats are easy to handle and care for. Rats have a shorter lifespan than humans, for example, do. They will reach ?adolescence? after six months while humans typically reach adolescence after twelve years. The following literature tests different groups of rats placed in different situations, the difference between male and female rats? spatial ability, the difference between male and female rats with age as an important factor, and the difference between male and female rats after a brain impairment."

Abstract
This paper examines psychological and sociological evidence gathered over the last several decades pertaining to the roles that biology and socialization play in the formation of gender roles. Studies showing how hormones, brain differences, and physical differences between males and females shape the traits associated with their genders. Sociological theories are examined that point to socialization playing a significant part in the development of a child's gender identification. Theories of transgendered individuals existing as a separate sex from males and females are touched upon. Both biology and socialization are demonstrated to shape gender roles, with a greater part played by biology.

Gender Differences in Communication, 2005.
A discussion of real and perceived gender differences in nonverbal communication.
1,056 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which nonverbal communication is affected by gender and examines the distinction between real and perceived communication differences. The paper demonstrates that, not only do men and women have very different styles of nonverbal communication, but that preconceived notions and perceptions may influence their audience beyond the verbal content of their words, as well.
From the Paper
"The theoretical implications of this study can be quite important to communication in the workplace. For example, if women know beforehand that they are likelier to be judged on nonverbal cues such as gestures and body language, they can be better prepared to counter any preconceptions. Similarly, if the research shows that an audience is more inclined to dismiss the content of a communication based upon the gender of the speaker this is important information to disseminate. Often, merely promoting awareness of a bias can help remedy it."

From the Paper
"According to Fenton and Stamer (2006), 600 out of every 100,000 people in the United States will suffer a heart attack each year. Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States claiming an average 500,000 - 700,000 deaths per year (Fenton & Stamer, 2006). Approximately 1.3 million heart attacks are non-fatal yet of those heart attacks which are, more than 50 percent occur in the 'prehospital setting' (Fenton & Stamer, 2006). Internationally, cardiovascular diseases have been cited for 12 million deaths per year and are becoming an increasing cause of death in developing countries."

Gender Differences in Physical Education, 2006.
A look at gender differences in the learning styles in the physical education classroom.
4,050 words (approx. 16.2 pages), 10 sources, $ 160.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores perceptions in gender and learning styles to attempt to determine whether learning styles are the primary factor in student accomplishment in the physical education classroom. The focus of the paper is on biological versus socio-cultural factors that determine outcome and predisposition within the physical education classroom for male and female students and teachers.
From the Paper
"Gender has been demonstrated to play a role in how students approach learning and education (Penney, 2002; Rink, 2005). The extent to which this occurs is not fully recognized, as it appears difficult to quantify different approaches to learning through gender or through sociological factors that influence behavior for members of either sex. While male and female students both participate in extracurricular athletic abilities, observational data suggests that male students are more likely to openly participate in required physical activity classes than are female students (Dowling, 2001; Penney, 2002; Rink, 2005). Physical education teachers report that it is more difficult to motivate female students into physical activity during required class periods."

Abstract
This paper examines the basic nature of sexuality in the world throughout societies with special attention to the modern world. It provides a description and psychoanalysis of sexual preferences, with proper interpretation of those preferences and behaviors.
From the Paper
"In modern Western democracies, marriage is basically assumed to be founded on the cherished concept of romantic love. Furthermore, persons in modern, industrialized nations strongly believe that the choice of a mate should be left to the individual. It comes as a shock to many people in these Western nations, then, when they discover that this revered concept of romantic love is almost wholly unknown in most cultures and is considered laughable or self-indulgent in many other societies (Robertson, p. 251). In most traditional or developing societies, marriage is viewed upon as being a pragmatic economic arrangement or a matter of family alliances (Robertson, p. 251). Love has little, if anything, to do with it. "

The Mens Life magazine focus is mainly on the career of the man and financial stability. Ladies Home Journal focuses on the family aspects of women and managing the home life with their career. The difference between the focus of both is very much seated in the gender roles that are expected of both sexes. Males are expected to be the breadwinner and contribute the majority of the financial means to the family."
