Forms, Transitions, and Design Approaches

für 21.51€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Do female landscape architects design differently than their male counterparts For many decades, this seemingly simple question has been often contemplated, but little answered. The issue remains a major topic of conversation to people in the field of landscape architecture. Although previous scholars have made contributions toward examining the questions of gender, culture and landscape, there has yet to be a definitive work that outlines and explores the potential gender issues that today s landscape architecture professionals may encounter. This book attempts to explore the forms, transitions and design approaches that women use when building landscapes. In doing so, it provides a novel perspective to landscape designers of any gender, and encourages them to consider how their innate female personality might potentially influence design thinking. This book will encourage landscape professionals to develop a critical eye for looking at designed forms as cultural vehicles for gender construction. ····· 10361845

The study aims to find out, first, what kinds of workplaces the call centres are from the gender perspective. Second, the ways in which gender is practised in customer service work by focusing on the interaction between the employees and the customers. Third, the ways in which gender is practised among the workers, between the management and the workers, and among the managers. The study is embedded in the existing call centre literature. The theoretical framework is also drawn from discussions on gender-related conceptualizations. The empirical analysis is based on ethnographic research material produced in three Finnish subcontractor call centres. The research findings show that the flat organizational hierarchy did not indicate better opportunities for women to enter managerial positions in the call centres. Men in general were highly valued and welcomed as employees. The gendered interaction patterns framed the ways in which gender was practised between the call centre workers and their customers. Gender had become profitable to sell, and gender was also embedded in the products. ····· 10361248

Women Advancement at Workplace

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Women for several decades have not only faced challenges in society in general but these challenges have also been mirrored at workplaces. In the public service, employment inequalities mirrored the discrimination suffered by women and people with disabilities in the wider employment market with particular regard to opportunities in employment, earning levels, benefits and conditions of service. The public service thus lacked legitimacy and credibility in the eyes of the majority,who in the main are women. Besides the fact that countries have their own internal instruments in advancing the cause of women, South Africa, has the most recognized Constitution in the world and legislations, coupled with compliance with international instruments, for example United Nation Convention on the elination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the International Labour abur Organisation Covention 111 but the implementation and advancing the cause of women remains a challenge as observed in this study. ····· 10361247

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In the traditional patriarchal society of Pakistan gender differences and stereotypes are produced and reproduced in all spheres of life. Newspapers also use language as a tool to create power structures based on gender. Through language choices men and women are presented as unequal: the former as powerful and dominant while the later as powerless and submissive. Within this framework, this work attempts to analyze news reporting in the Pakistani print media with special focus on the headlines of crime news in newspapers. Data for the current research is collected from two Pakistani Urdu dailies i.e. The Jang and The Khabrain , and two English dailies i.e. The News and The Dawn . Research sample comprises only the headlines of the crime news reported from April to June 2009. The collected data is categorized to examine how far crime news reporting reinforces the gender stereotypes existing in the society. Quantitative and qualitative differences in Pakistani English and Urdu newspapers in the use of language for gender representation are also investigated. Findings of the research provide insights into how gender stereotypes are created and presented in Pakistani newspapers. ····· 10361192
