From the beginning, wifehood and motherhood have been regarded as a women’s profession. They were not seen as breadwinners or professionals. As history has told us, women were considered the weaker sex, doing jobs such as laundry, milking cows, and taking care of children, leaving the “heavier” labor to the big strong men (wic.org). With technological advancement today, physiological test suggest women have a greater pain tolerance and statistics show that women live longer and are more resistant to many diseases. In the 20th century, women in most nations won the right to vote, this in return increased their educational and job opportunities.
Harlow had found that the infant monkeys as young as a day old, became very attached to the cloth pads used in the experiment, most for comfort and security. Allowing the young monkeys to examine the room one of which in the presence of their surrogate mother or without her. The infants in the company of their surrogate mother would use her as protection as they scanned the room. When Harlow removed the surrogate mothers the monkey's would act out dramatically often crying and screaming in need of the comfort (Harlow, 1958). The impact of the research was proof that love was a vital for development for children especially during childhood, “They have intrinsic value, even beyond their breast milk.
It was only when I finally entered college that I realized I had always loved working with, and the idea of taking care of children; and what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life was to teach children with mental disabilities. My career goal, which I have slowly been working towards throughout my 2 years in college, is to become a special education teacher for elementary students. I am currently signed up as double major in elementary and early childhood education and psychology in Queens College. I have taken many pre-requisite classes, as well as several courses specifically designed for elementary education. These courses allowed me to be taught by actual elementary school teachers, who have years of experience with working with children, and the knowledge and advice they were able to pass on truly helped me better understand what I was signing up for as an education major, and helped my improve the way I teach so that I could articulate in a way that would be comprehensible to students of a young age.
Sandra Donkor Women's Studies Journal "Are Women Morally Superior To Men?” by Katha Pollitt Were mothers the natural leaders of the peace movement, to whose judgment nonmothers, male and female, must defer, because after all we couldn't know, couldn't feel that tenderness toward fragile human life that a woman who had borne and raised children had experienced? On the other hand, I was indeed a woman. Was motherhood with its special wisdom somehow deep inside me, to be called upon when needed, like my uterus? (p.50) In the reading, "Are Women Morally Superior To Men? written by Katha Pollitt,the obvious and underlying question is whether women are morally superior to men.
Volunteer Foster Care people may be available to take care of a group of abandoned kittens or a sick puppy or dog. These animals need round the clock care in order to get well. These volunteers are very special to the shelter. Also, the shelter has a large amount of round the clock volunteers to take care of the daily needs of the animals waiting to be adopted.

Temple Grandin is a unique and gifted person whose complexity can be respected and admired. Humanistic, behavioral, and cognitive theories seem to stand out with regard to Temple’s life: humanistic, because of her determination to go forward despite obstacles or set backs; behavioral, for her ability to see something and apply it for her learning; and cognitive, for her unique way of thinking (processing). Temple said it best when she stated that she wanted her life to have meaning and she didn’t want her thoughts to die with her.
Jenna was a member of the 4-H club in Verona which gave her the opportunity to actually raise, show, and sell animals. Jenna has shown llamas, sheep and goats; she has a won some awards for her animals and has also made some money by selling them. Later in our interview I asked Jenna what she wanted to be doing in ten years and since I could already tell she liked the outdoors I wasn’t surprised to hear that she would like to be living in Colorado and would wants to be involved in nursing. Though I only had a short amount of time to talk with Jenna I found that we had more in common then I originally thought. She has a wide range of hobbies from backpacking to showing animals at the Dane county
Older ladies don’t always wear make-up Part 3 How strong were your impressions in Part 1 (some might have been stronger than others, so indicate this for each impression)?

The following contains portions of a press release from Childbirth Connection - Feb.16, 2011 Overall, women who received supportive care from a companion throughout labor were less likely than women without such support to have a cesarean section, use narcotics or use regional pain medication such as epidural analgesia, to give birth with vacuum extraction or forceps, and to rate their childbirth experience poorly. Continuous support shortened labor and increased the likelihood of having a “spontaneous” birth with neither cesarean nor vacuum extraction nor forceps. These findings have been proven through research. It has been found that when women find and work with doulas they have shorter labors, a reduced need for pain medications, and a lower chance of having a C-Section (Klaus, Kennell and
(Hyde 2005) Hyde used a very effective research method so her results were largely credible. The de-individuation technique the scientist used was used in other researches of the 1980’s, at a time when studies on gender differences were very common.
