    Off Balance: The Real World of Ballet By Suzanne Gordon Ballet in the United States thrived in the 1970's. Ballet dancers like Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarovna were household names. People knew the stories of their defection and the beauty of their performances. Families could watch performances of American Ballet Theatre (ABT) on television, and if you had enough money you could attend the yearly Nutcracker Ball and socialize with the dancers. In 1979, after ABT's management locked the...
  • Gender Role Biases In Advertisements
    925 words
    Gender role biases in advertisements have been so prevalent for so long that the untrained eye wouldn't even discern it.

Not only do the models depict an image nowhere near close to reality, but their bodies are scantily clad and what few clothes they are wearing are v...
  • Masculinity In A Male
    1,438 words
    Men and Masculinity Why are men so sensitive when it comes to their masculinity This question came to me when I began reading the introduction of this section on sex.

These traits are not only bestowed upon them by their parents, but by movies, music and government of the past and present. For many straight men, homosexuality is a direct t...

    We handed out 60 surveys, using convenience sampling, in the cafeteria at Marianopolis College. We got back 50 surveys. 23 of the respondents were male and 27 female. The results we found supported our hypothesis. Females seemed to have a negative body-image where as the males perceived their bodies positively. Through-out the first part of our survey, questions 1 to 11, we noticed the same trend. The males answered almost systematically never to all the questions where as the females tended to ...
  • Plastic Surgery And Their Own Peers

    Body image is what you believe about your physical appearance. Images of beautiful men and women are displayed everywhere from billboards to television advertisements. Fortunately, everyone does not look the same. Looking at models and movie stars often can create a negative self image of oneself in relation to these images. Approximately 46 percent of men of normal weight think about how they look constantly or frequently (Cloud, 46). The emergence of men's new obsession with body image is conn...

  • Body Odor And Male Perception Of Attractiveness
    3,368 words
    Charles Darwin wrote in 1872 in his book "The Descent of Man": "It is certainly not true that there is in the mind of man any universal standard of beauty with respect to the human body. Although we "are all legally equal", everyone knows that people are often treated differently according to their physical appearance. Even when we apply for jobs, appearance may dominate qualification. We even believe that attractive people are better - "what is beautiful is good" is a common standard in our thi...

Others can even be undetectable to us, often passing off as the gender they were assigned by their doctors in their early childhood.
