Gender Issues in Opera/Bartok & Bluebeard
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page research paper that examines the issues of gender in opera and specifically in regards to Bela Bartok's work Bluebeard's Castle. Bartok wrote but one opera, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, a short work based upon a grisly fairy tale. Psychologically and symbolically complex, the opera's narrative not only represents Bartok's conceptualization of gender, but also reflects the operatic heritage that preceded him. Examination of the concepts of gender that form the characterization of both Duke Bluebeard and his young bride Judith, shows that, in both cases, they reflect societal stereotypes and operatic tradition. However, close examination of these gendered conceptions also hints at a developing sensibilities and criticism of these paradigms. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Gender Prejudice In The Workplace
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Gender discrimination in the workplace is an industry ill that has run rampant over the past couple of decades. Only within this time frame has society come to realize that there is no place for gender prejudice when both men and women are working hard toward the same goals. In some cases, women have demonstrated considerable more dedication to the job than men, who are often categorized as being lazy and ineffective. Indeed, there is room for both genders within the workplace, but it is establishing an element of respect, as well as a recognition of duty, toward one another that will ultimately eliminate gender prejudice in the workplace. The writer discusses how experts are working hard to organize industrywide cooperation in fighting the undercurrent of workplace gender prejudice in the next two decades.
