Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”: Gender Socialization and Women and Conversational Education (Chapter 6)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”. Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House: Women’s Development in Communities of Faith” studies not only areas connected with faith, theology and women’s experience but also the various aspects in the difference of female socialization in regards to “caring and connection” and how this relates to theological interpretation. The idea of the practice of faith within communities relates to Hess’ argument that separation and connection is obtained through “hard dialogues and deep connections” in which girls and women care be nurtured to be caretakers of their “own house” (self) as well as the “common house” (the community of faith). Women, through conversational education and strong leadership in the religious community can overcome the generations of gender socialization which have largely led to men as powerful and women as servile, caring, and supportive which has resulted in women “losing themselves” to societal roles.

Cause & Effect/Sexism
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that offers a cause and effect analysis of sexism. While sexism is a characteristic of culture that is prevalent throughout American society, it has been a stated goal of the federal government over the last several decades that women should receive “equal pay for equal work” (Gilbelman, 2003). The American workplace is supposedly gender and race neutral, a place where employees are evaluated purely on their job performance. Nevertheless, the continuation of occupational segregation by according to gender, and associated salary inequalities, are well documented in empirical research (Gilbelman, 2003). The cause of this inequality finds its origin in the legacy of patriarchy. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
