The document provides basic biographies and methods of challenging the status quo for several historical figures: 1) Pharaoh Akhenaton challenged Egyptian religion 3,335 years ago through commanding worship of a single god, which was immediately effective but dependent on his power. 2) Galileo Galilei subverted Catholic Church authority 369 years ago in Italy by undermining it cleverly, which avoided direct confrontation but was indirect and slow. 3) Harvey Milk built coalitions 33 years ago in California to advocate for homosexual rights, which was diverse but hard to maintain.

Writing Project #2
The North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) notes that the stereotype of fraternities portrayed in the movie "Animal House" is still prevalent. However, the NIC states that chapters focused on that type of excessive drinking behavior will quickly fail, as that is not the true purpose of a fraternity. The NIC asserts that academics are the core mission of fraternities, and Greek members typically have higher graduation rates, retention, and GPAs than non-Greek students. According to many studies, perceptions and stereotypes of Greek life are often skewed and do not reflect the benefits of membership, such as higher graduation rates and representation among leaders in politics and business.

This document summarizes and compares two readings - "From The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf and "The Backlash Myth" by Christina Hoff Sommers - and the documentary Dreamworlds 3: Power, Sex & Desire in Music Video. It discusses how each work portrays women, the evidence provided, their target audiences and focuses. It also asks questions about the exploitation of women in music videos, roles of camera angles, portrayal of men, most shocking parts, and the role of African Americans.
Jon Worth - State of the Net
This document discusses how politics and citizens can move forward together in an unstable environment. It explores challenges to traditional hierarchical structures and the appeal of citizens self-organizing. While citizens organizing independently is growing, the complexity of collaborating across different groups will be difficult to navigate.
Chicks Are The New Dicks
This document humorously suggests that women are gaining power and dominance over men in many areas of society. It notes that women now start more businesses, earn higher returns as investors, hold more college degrees, are less likely to lose their jobs, and are closing the gender wage gap. It also jokes that women download one-third of porn, make up political sex scandals, and are increasingly committing crimes like DUIs and school shootings. The document half-seriously proposes that with women's newfound strengths in business, education, careers, and criminal activities, they may eventually gain total political and social control over men.

Martin Luther 205
Martin Luther King Jr. was an American civil rights leader born in 1929 who fought against racial segregation and injustice. He was a Baptist minister and led the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in organizing nonviolent protests, campaigns, and marches for civil rights including the Birmingham campaign and March on Washington. King delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 calling for racial equality and integration. He was assassinated in 1968 but his message of nonviolent protest and pursuit of justice and equality continues to inspire.
14 2 overview of mjp leadership - west point
The document describes a military-style executive leadership development program offered by Thayer Leadership Development Group and Morgan Jones & Partners. The program utilizes principles from historical military texts and is taught by former military instructors at the Thayer Hotel and Conference Center near West Point. Programs can be customized for clients and last 7-18 days, combining leadership training with cultural activities. They occur quarterly to monthly and include 25-75 executives.
Patton
This document compares Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley, characterizing Patton as a leader and Bradley as a manager. Patton was a risk-taker who inspired his troops and terrified enemies with his daring plans during World War 2. Bradley was a planner who oversaw the D-Day landings but was seen as dull by troops who did not know him well. The document concludes that while both leaders and managers are necessary, leaders are needed to exceed expectations through inspiration, initiating change, and developing people, whereas managers focus on control, administration, stability, and conforming to systems.

Comparative Study of Two Iconic Leaders: Contrasting cross-cultural leadershi...
This is an extensive study of two famous, influential and iconic leaders in the world of business, Jack Welch and Ratan Tata. They served in the corporate world as effective and successful leaders for more than 20 years. We found differences in their leadership styles across different cultures. We also determined key common elements contributing to their success. We isolated two contrasting styles of leadership from Jack Welch’s simplicity and speed in decision making to Ratan Tata’s ‘heroic’ corporate expansion. We suggest a list of recommendations for MBA students aspiring to be authentic leaders of the future.
Eisenhower
Eisenhower served as the 34th US President from 1953 to 1960. Some key events of his presidency included establishing NASA in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik, building the interstate highway system, enforcing desegregation of schools following the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision despite resistance from some southern states, and warning about the growing influence of the "military-industrial complex" in his farewell address. His presidency saw continued tensions with the Soviet Union during the Cold War as well as the beginning of deeper US involvement in Vietnam.
WWII project: George S. Patton
George S. Patton was a renowned U.S. Army general who played a pivotal role in leading American forces in North Africa and Europe during World War II. As commander of the Third Army, Patton led troops across vast territories in France, Germany, and other countries, liberating more land than any other army in the war. He is especially remembered for his leadership during the pivotal Battle of the Bulge, where he relieved American soldiers fighting in Bastogne. After the war, Patton continued serving in the military until his death in 1945 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Gen. George S. Patton
Gen. George S. Patton was an American General in WWII who played a key role in armored warfare. He commanded American forces in North Africa and Europe between 1942-1945. Patton's 3rd Army broke through German defenses in Normandy and pushed into Germany. However, his career was nearly ended after he slapped a soldier hospitalized for shell shock, accusing him of cowardice. Patton died in 1945 from injuries sustained in a car accident shortly after the end of the war.
Malcolm X Slideshow
Malcolm X had a difficult childhood, growing up with many siblings in a family threatened by the KKK due to his father's work as a Baptist minister. After his father was killed and mother was institutionalized, Malcolm became a foster child. He later lost interest in school after being told becoming a lawyer was unrealistic as a black man, and turned to crime, spending 10 years in prison. While incarcerated, Malcolm became devoted to the Nation of Islam and its leader Elijah Muhammad. After his release, Malcolm became a minister for the Nation and was involved in the civil rights movement, fighting for equality through speeches and protests. He was assassinated in 1965 by three members of the Nation of Islam.

Leadership: Comparison of leadership between different leaders
This document compares the leadership styles of Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler. It finds that Gandhi exhibited a democratic leadership style, making decisions through consultation and motivating large-scale non-violent movements. In contrast, Hitler employed an autocratic style, making all decisions alone through intimidation and isolating himself from criticism. Overall, the document concludes Gandhi was a more successful leader as his approach was better suited to achieving goals and inspiring followers.
Pablo Escobar
Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord who started dealing cocaine in the 1970s and built a vast criminal empire and fortune through the Medellin drug cartel. He controlled much of the cocaine trade running into the United States and had many estates, airstrips, and warehouses for drug production. Though a ruthless criminal involved in killing and drugs, he also had a compassionate side and cared for those close to him. He tried to gain popularity among common people through sponsoring a local soccer team. However, his immense power eventually led to his death as government agencies like the CIA sought to bring down his empire. Even after his death, some Colombians still revere his memory.

A13 14.Calvache.Gabriela.Qualitativeinresearch
This document provides information about a qualitative research project on the influence of feminism on adolescence. The research question examines what factors influence young women not to associate themselves with feminism. Potential factors identified include the current socio-cultural situation, stigma of being "feminist", impact on subjectivity, and lack of impact of the feminist movement. The objective is to understand why some are against feminism despite benefits like equality and non-discrimination. Effective data collection methods would be interviews, observation, and surveys. Relevant findings provide examples of influential feminist figures. In conclusion, the results of feminism will be seen when women occupy important societal positions without stigma or violence based on gender.
3 PATRIARCHY PPT.pdf
Patriarchy is a social system where males hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. It is characterized by the strict definition of gender roles, with men typically being viewed as superior to women. Patriarchy has existed globally for thousands of years and continues to negatively impact both women and men through the enforcement of traditional gender norms and an imbalance of power. Combating patriarchy requires challenging these deep-rooted social and cultural norms.
Patriarchy in Society
Patriarchy is a social system where males hold primary power and predominate in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. It is characterized by the strict definition of gender roles where women are seen as inferior and their work and roles are relegated to the domestic sphere. Patriarchal social norms pressure both men and women to conform to traditional gender stereotypes. While patriarchy still exists around the world, combating it requires promoting equality, holding all people accountable, supporting diverse expressions of masculinity, and teaching boys healthy emotional skills.

Examining Heterosexual & Cisgender Privilege
Based on Peggy McIntosh’s (1988) pioneering investigations of white and male privilege, we can, by analogy, understand heterosexual and cisgender privilege as constituting a seemingly invisible, unearned, and largely unacknowledged array of benefits accorded to heterosexuals and cisgender people with which they often unconsciously walk through life as if effortlessly carrying knapsacks tossed over their shoulders. This presentation examines the contents of these knapsacks.

Features of patriarchal societies (Johnson, The
Gender Knot)
◦Male dominance: positions of authority are generally
reserved for men
◦Male centeredness: focus is primarily on men and what
they do
◦Obsession with control (esp. male control): controlling
women and anyone who might threaten male privilege
◦Male identification: core ideas about what is considered
good/desirable/preferable is associated with how we think
about men and masculinity

Susan B. Anthony #17
Male dominance: Judge and complainants men; all
positions of formal power are held by men; as Anthony
notes, all men are her political sovereign
Male centeredness: The law is, in Anthony’s words, “all
made by men, interpreted by men, administered by men,
in favor of men…” (126).
Obsession with control: The law (among other
institutions) is used to silence women, such as by denying
a woman a right to vote
Male identification: Concept of citiz.

(CONTINUED!)
Why Many People Think Patriarchy is
Inevitable
•God/gods/similar powers made us this way
•Biology/physiology predestined patriarchy
•Women are the “weaker” sex
•Men’s and women’s reproductive capacities shape
their participation in social life
But…Is patriarchy universal?
Nope!
◦Anthropologists have documented cultures in which
gender was not a major organizing system in society
in
Alternatives to patriarchy
oSocial inequalities based on some
trait other than gender (most often
age/seniority, family lineage), or no
inequality
oWomen and men alternate tasks
(including care giving) and share
religious and leadership
responsibilities)

Challenges to Traditional Gender Norms in Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication...
Mary Wollstonecraft challenged traditional gender norms of the late 18th century in her work A Vindication of the Rights of Women. She argued that women deserved equal rights to education and independence as men, as they possessed the same rational capacities. Wollstonecraft criticized views that saw women's purpose as pleasing men and focused solely on domestic duties. She believed women should have the opportunity to develop their minds through education instead of being limited by their gender. Wollstonecraft's radical arguments for women's rights and education still resonate today in discussions of gender equality.

Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was an English political scientist who lived from 1588 to 1679 CE. He believed that without a formal authority, humanity would be in a constant state of war and conflict due to our natural inclination towards gaining power. Hobbes argued that people come together and agree to submit to an absolute authority, such as a dictator, in order to ensure protection and order within society. He believed this absolute authority was necessary to defend people from external threats and internal disputes.
Confucius
Confucius lived from 551 BCE to 479 BCE in China and was a famous teacher whose works influenced Chinese political and educational systems for over 2000 years. Some key ideas from Confucius' Analects include that human nature is essentially alike but practice makes people different, virtue defines society and is strengthened through relationships, and authority should be formalized through an ethical monarchy focused on cultivating virtue rather than enforcing laws.
Plato
Plato lived from 428 BCE to 347 BCE in Athens. He was a student of Socrates and founded the Academy. The Republic is considered one of the first works of political science in Western civilization. In it, Plato discusses how human nature and society should be structured to maximize happiness and justice for all. He believes authority is best formalized through a socialist aristocracy, where each person contributes what they do best for the good of all, and society is governed by those most capable of providing justice - in Plato's view, philosophers like himself.
What is reasonable to ask of others?
The document discusses whether accepted authority rests on reason. It asks the reader to highlight any times the king makes orders and to give examples of those orders. It also questions if any of the king's orders are unreasonable and if society could exist without authority if that authority is based on reason.
Why does authority formalize?
Informal authority existed first in early human societies like hunter-gatherer bands and agricultural villages due to learning from family and elders. Formal authority developed later as societies became more complex with larger, sedentary, specialized populations in cities. The challenges of decision-making, dispute resolution, and resource distribution for larger populations led civilized societies to formalize authority structures in order to function effectively.
How much do our social roles impact our decisions?
The document discusses how social roles can impact decisions by examining two historical figures, Robert E. Lee and Sir Thomas More. It describes the dilemmas they faced regarding upholding their legal commitments versus their social roles during times of conflict, and asks the reader to consider how their social roles may have influenced their ultimate choices and outcomes. In fewer than 3 sentences, the document introduces two examples of historical figures who faced challenges between social expectations and legal obligations, and prompts the reader to think about the influence of social roles on decision making.
What is the difference between informal and formal authority?
The document discusses the difference between informal and formal authority. Informal authority is earned respect from peers based on expertise, while formal authority is appointed by society based on title. It asks the reader to make lists of examples of informal authorities throughout history and examples of formal authorities throughout history to illustrate the difference between the two types of authority.
Is the ideal worth pursuing?
The document discusses whether pursuing an ideal such as an ideal city is worthwhile. It asks if the ideal city is achievable, if we should try to achieve it, and who is responsible for setting the agenda to achieve it. Finally, it asks what is reasonable to ask of people to try and achieve the ideal.
Unit 1 review
The document discusses the costs associated with creating and maintaining friendships and relationships between individuals and societies. It questions what price must be paid for friendship and how understanding this can help us better comprehend societies. Categorizing people and judging them by social roles can cause problems but may be convenient or socially expected.
Should we judge others according to their social roles?
This document discusses whether people should be judged according to their social roles and responsibilities. It presents scenarios about a Medieval Duke deciding whether to go to war in Jerusalem and a Western Army Officer in 1894 deciding whether to attack natives. It asks the reader to consider how Godfrey de Bouillon and John M. Chivington were judged based on their choices and roles at the time, and whether people should be judged according to their social roles and responsibilities or based on other evidence.
Are we more concerned with social accuracy or social convenience?
The document discusses how social roles are defined by categories and ideal characteristics for men, women, and rappers. It questions whether the listed categories accurately capture all members of each group or just provide a convenient shorthand. The concluding question asks whether, based on class evidence, people are more concerned with accurately defining social roles or just finding convenient categories.
What problems can categorization cause?
Categorizing people based on limited attributes can lead to making incorrect assumptions and poor decisions. Seeking advice or guidance exclusively from individuals of a particular religion, profession, gender or other single attribute fails to consider the complexity of people and situations. Relying on overgeneralized categories can result in overlooking a person's full background, expertise and character.
If we are all unique, why do we categorize?
While individuals are unique, social categories are commonly used to separate people into subgroups based on profession, nationality, physical attributes, sexuality, age, politics, legal status, economics, religion, ethnicity, and gender. These categories significantly influence who people are likely to ask for advice in different situations - such as moral, political, parenting, community, and financial matters - with individuals belonging to categories considered more knowledgeable or experienced in certain domains. Therefore, categorization provides a means to identify others who may have specialized knowledge or qualities relevant to the task at hand, despite the overgeneralization and unique nature of each individual.
What is the price of friendship
The document discusses the price and costs of friendship according to quotes from The Little Prince. It asks the reader to consider whether the fox's definition of friendship as "to establish ties" is accurate. It also examines the fox's statement that "One only understands the things one tames" and that modern men have no time to understand anything and instead buy ready-made things, having no true friends as a result. The reader is prompted to agree or disagree with these perspectives on friendship and what it means to establish meaningful relationships.
