STRAYER SOC 300 final

1- Women are
overrepresented in the political arena in most part of the world.

2-One of the objectives of Ch.5 of
text written by Handelman is ‘To understand many opportunities existing for
women to have more educational higher rate of literacy than men.

3-The consequences of gender
inequality and exploitation are very limited.

4- The Victorian values of the
nineteenth century expanded the role of women in the work place and in
politics.

5- The gender gap expands when a
country develops and the economy grows.

6- In parts of Asia there are more
positive signs that increased education has enabled poorer urban women to
secure better paid jobs. The situation is better for lower and upper class
women not middle class women. They have educational and occupational
opportunities that are comparable to those of men with the same social status.

7- Commercialization of production
techniques robbed women of their specialized labor functions which, in turn,
increased their political power in the short term.

8- It should be noted that the
restoration of Brazilian democracy had the effect of mobilizing women at a
higher level. Middle class women became more involved in national
politics consolidating the ties they already had with the urban poor.

9- Cuba has the worst record of
trying to maintain gender equality in politics, but women are still
overrepresented in the top ranks of political leadership. It remains a
fact that traditional cultural values concerning gender roles are dramatically
have changed.

10- Women enjoy less equality in the
advanced democracies of the West. This is particularly true of countries with
high literacy rates, education, and industrialization.

11-in ch.8 of text written by
Handelman ‘The underlying causes and theories of revolutionary change have been
examined in detail.

12- Even some of the best
revolutionary regimes have become corrupt in the long term as new generations become
involved.

13- Mao Zedong of China, for
example, recognized that the idea of a class based struggle was of little
significancein Chinaas there were very few working classesthere. He developed a
theory of a peasant based struggle and employed successful strategies to
conquer the cities after quelling rural guerilla warfare.

14- An evaluation of popular
sentiment during revolutionary upheaval identifies five different groups within
society:

The first are the elite, who are
strong government supporters.

The second are government
supporters, who are more conditionally tied to the current regime.

The third is the alienated segment
of the population who support neither the government nor the revolutionaries.

The fourth are peasantry, the urban
poor, and the alienated middle classes who are occasional supporters.

Lastly, there is the small minority
who are actively involved in the revolutionary struggle.

15-, The top revolutionary leaders
of the recent past have come from middle-class and upper-class backgrounds.

16- With the rise of democracy in
many Third World countries in recent years, there has been a steady decline in
military leadership at the government level.

17- There is aclear division of
military and statein all LDCs.

18-Desch concludes that if the
military is dealing with external threats, the civilian regime has more control
over the military. However, once they become highly involved in domestic
issues, civilian control is generally weakened.

19- In many of the poorest third
world countries, individual military officers have seized power to help the
poorest not for personal gain.

20- Evidence that the military has
been successful in combating corruption is scant. In some cases military coups
have exacerbated civilian corruption. Leaders often attempt to gather whatever
resources they can in the expectation of being ousted from office at any time.

21-, Karl Marx rejected capitalism
citing its exploitative qualities. He proposed state ownership of the means of
production, at least in the short term.

22- Latin American statism was
another economic model which had substantial success in the short term but
could not be sustained in the long term.

23-Industrialization has long been
associated with economic development. For this reason a number of countries
have adopted industrialization strategies in the hopes of stimulating the
economy.

24- Those countries which have
implemented successful land reforms have also seen economic growth at the
national level.

25- Finding a long term strategy for
economic development in the third world remains a challenge. Even the most
successful model, E-O-I, had inherent weaknesses which resulted in a major
crisis.
