How Society Creates Differences between Girls and Boys
$27.50Doing Gender – How Society Creates Differences between Girls and Boys
Abstract
In this essay I discuss that “doing gender means creating differences between girls and boys and women and men….” (West & Zimmerman 2002:13) I am concentrating on the female perspective, how society puts forth expectations of what is ‘natural’ or biological even though, in some cases, it can be quite demeaning and degrading. I am using some examples from the local media and also a few childhood experiences that have helped me to now strongly suspect that the quote from Simone Beauvoir (1972) “One is not born a woman, but rather becomes one” most likely has quite a bit of truth to it.7 Pages

$17.50Abstract
The studies suggest that shyness directly or indirectly affects a person’s identity development. Research in psychology, parental attachment theories suggests that shyness and identity development has been largely co relational, leaving open the question how much and in what way shyness affects identity of a person. We first review the evidence linking shyness and interpersonal communication, social experiences. Second, study the biological, psychological, and social aspects of shyness. We may present research from variety of samples (adults and children) and methods (survey) demonstrating that identity development is affected by shyness. There are many treatment strategies and options for people who identify themselves as needing help in overcoming their shyness.

5 pagesEvolutionary explanations for sex differences in parental investment
$12.00Outline and evaluate evolutionary explanations for sex differences in parental investment (24marks)
- For this question, 8 marks are on offer for the outline and 16 for the evaluation, so most time and effort should be directed at compiling the evaluation.
- With the outline, take care not to be too general and merely describe evolutionary theory; to gain higher marks, you need to focus specifically on how evolutionary theory explains parental investment.
- For the evaluation, an appropriate strategy would be to assess the degree of research support there is for the explanation. This task is made a little easier with this question, as the focus isn’t just on humans, so non-human animal studies are equally applicable.
- IDA points could refer to the limitations of the explanation in not considering non-biological influences; this would also give you the opportunity to use alternative theoretical aspects as a means of comparison.

$5.00VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES AND AGGRESSION: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
ABSTRACT.
One of the main concerns that has constantly been raised against video games is that most of the games feature aggressive elements. This has led many people to assert that this may have a detrimental effect on individuals who play such games. Despite continuing controversy for over 15 years, there has been little in the way of systematic research. This article reviews the empirical studies in this area, including research methodologies such as the observation of free play, self-report methods, and experimental studies. The article argues that all the published studies on video game violence have methodological problems and that they only include possible short-term measures of aggressive consequences. The one consistent finding is that the majority of the studies on very young children—as opposed to those in their teens upwards—tend to show that children do become more aggressive after either playing or watching a violent video game. However, all of these come from the use of one particular research methodology (i.e., observation of children’s free play).10 Pages
Sexual Economics: Sex as Female Resource for Social Exchange in Heterosexual Interactions
$55.00Abstract
A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. Societies will endow female sexuality, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple’s decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show gender asymmetries (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes.103 Pages
