Justice In The Labor Market For Women According To Age, Education And Work Experience: Southeast Region Of Puerto Rico
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Women in the workforce of a patriarchal society routinely experience lower wages, worse working conditions and poor child care options. Coupled with the responsibilities of maintaining a home inherently assigned to the female gender and a very volatile labor market, women in these male-dominated global communities are hard-pressed to keep ahead of the game. Women of the southeast region of Puerto Rico are no exception even though they are technically part of the United States: labor equity has yet to drift to the island and replace patriarchal practices. Moreover, an upswing in male unemployment over the past few decades has placed Puerto Rican women in an interesting position: Not only are they more abundant in the labor market, but their working conditions have not improved and now they also face the added struggle of husbands who do not pull their financial weight. As such, the current workforce for women in the southeast region is has become an ill-fated race to close the gap between male and female workers while force to accept inadequate pay, substandard conditions and the virtual absence of child care. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Like Water for Chocolate / Movie and Book Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author compares the movie and book versions of Like Water for Chocolate or Como agua para chocolate by Laura Esquivel. It is a story that is too hot to handle: forbidden love, matriarchal dominance, the supernatural, and the special Mexican recipes that become more than enticing dishes. The protagonist is Tita, the youngest daughter in a family of three daughters who, because of a tradition imposed by her mother, is not allowed to marry the man she loves. When comparing the movie version and the novel, one will note that the movie version evokes images of mistreatment, disdain, and provocation, which are not in the book.

Mujerista Theological Perspective
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Religion - as with virtually all other components of life - has historically been managed with a patriarchal hand; through this controlling male perspective, such aspects as the interpretation of Mary's image and the value of poor parishioners have long suffered erroneousness and indignity. Mujerista theology - whereby Hispanic women are empowered by Mary's image of strength and appreciate the value of the poor who harbor a much clearer understanding of reality - has established an entirely divergent approach to the Catholic faith and, in the process, opened up the door for Latinas to embrace their faith in the manner by which female gender is entitled. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Muslim Women Under The Taliban Control
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Muslim women under the Taliban control have long suffered at the hands of their male counterparts. Whether the torture culminates as emotional, physical or both, the patriarchal influence has been a strong power upon the very essence of being female. The lives of Muslim women under the Taliban control have been designed by men under religious and social assumptions which have served to guide every part of their lives, including sexuality, mannerisms, physical appearance and education, along with their role in society. These designed programs serve not only to control the female gender, but also to block entrance for women in many areas so that they remain chained to the patriarchal influence. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Muslims And Domestic Violence
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Domestic violence is a gender-based abusive act prevalent in virtually all global communities; while the more developed societies have adopted a heightened awareness of the immoral nature of domestic violence and take significant steps to punish and deter it, other less developed societies continue to use it as a tool of control and coercion between men and their wives. Muslims have a particularly unsavory reputation for partaking in wife beating in order to manipulate the woman through physical and mental force via a subtext of social, political and economic undercurrents. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
