Analysis of Themes and a Passage from Toni Morrison’s “Sula” and Gloria Anzaldua’s Creative Identity and Hybridity as Described in “Borderlands”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing themes consisted and found within Morrison’s “Sula”, Anzaldua’s “Borderlands” and the poetry and writings of Namjoshi and Hanscombe and Willis. Themes of cultural dichotomy, opposing forces, self and identity are consistent throughout writings by women minorities. In Toni Morrison’s “Sula” and Gloria Anzaldua’s “Borderlands” both describe situations of women struggling in cultures in which continuously opposing forces and cultural identities lead them to dichotomies which in some cases end in a negative direction as in “Sula” but in other instances lead to creativity as described in Anzaldua’s “Borderlands” and the Aztec elements of tlilli, tlapilli which symbolize writing and wisdom and allow for the bridge to be attained through the gods and spirit world and that which lies beneath. The themes found in the writings of Morrison and Anzaldua are also used in the poetry of Suniti Namjoshi and Gillian Hanscombe’s found in their work “Flesh and Paper” and in Susan Willis’ essay in the text “Making a Difference”.

Are Women More “People-Oriented” Leaders?
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report
discusses the time-honored assumption, at least in modern times,
that women are more people-oriented leaders than men. Are women
more people-oriented and greater believers in “participative”
management? There is only one definitive answer and it is not
particularly satisfying. That answer is -- “it depends.” Many
social scientists commonly maintain that there is no empirical
basis for assuming that gender has a direct influence on
leadership style. Others researchers are convinced that female
leaders are more concerned about interpersonal relationships and
use a more democratic and participative leadership style than do
men. Research on the issue is examined. Bibliography lists 8
sources.
