Write а fоrmаl оutline оf the following pаssage (according to the guidelines we discussed). Please make sure to preserve the four components of effective outlines. 1 Cultures differ in the extent to which gender role are distinct or overlap. A masculine culture typically views men as assertive, oriented to material success, and strong; people in such a culture tend to see women as modest, focused on the quality of life, and tender. In a feminine culture both men and women are supposed to be modest, oriented to maintaining the quality of life, tender. On the basis of Hofstede’s research on 53 countries, the 10 countries with the highest masculinity scores (starting from the top) are Japan, Austria, Venezuela, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico, Ireland, Jamaica, Great Britain, and Germany. The top 10 countries with the highest femininity scores (starting from the top) are Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Costa Rica, Yugoslavia, Finland, Chile, Portugal, and Thailand. Of the 53 countries ranked, the United States ranks 15th most masculine. 2 A study of babies raised in Japan and the United States illustrates the way in which masculine and feminine culture teach boys and girls differently. Boys raised in Japan are significantly noisier than girls; girls raised in the United States are significantly noisier than boys. This difference is most likely due to the ways in which mothers and (to a somewhat lesser extent) fathers react to the babies Both of these cultures are relatively high on masculinity and so, not surprisingly, teach girls and boys differently. In the dominant cultures of the United States, Japan, and Germany, for example, the emphasis on material success is seen in the importance that students place on grades. Students in such cultures are conditioned to strive to be the best, and school failure is shameful and extremely significant. Students from more feminine cultures place greater emphasis on the quality of life and give much less importance to such issues as grades. Students in these cultures are content to be average and failing in school is unpleasant but nothing serious. 3 The masculine culture socializes its children to be assertive, ambitious, and competitive. A masculine organization emphasizes the bottom line and rewards its workers on the basis of their contribution to the organization. The feminine culture socializes its children to be modest and to emphasize close interpersonal relationships. A feminine organization is more likely to emphasize work satisfaction and to reward its workers on the basis of need, and employee with a large family, for example may get raise than a single person would not get even if the single person contributed more to the organization. 4 Masculine cultures are more likely to confront conflicts directly and to competitively fight out any differences; they are more likely to emphasize with-lose conflict strategies. Feminine cultures are more likely to emphasize compromises and negotiation; they are more likely to emphasize win-win solutions to conflicts.
Assuming yоu аre creаting аn оutline оf the paragraph below, identify the main idea—the sentence that would begin your outline. The main idea may appear anywhere in the paragraph. In the space provided, write only the number of the sentence that states the main idea. 1The word “suffrage” refers to the right to vote. 2The women’s suffrage movement in the United States succeeded with passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920, but not without numerous setbacks and difficulties. 3New Jersey granted women’s suffrage in 1776, but took it away in 1807. 4In Utah territory, women got the right to vote in 1870, but then lost it in the provisions of an 1887 federal law that prohibited polygamy. 5In the 19th century, several anti-suffragette groups were founded. 6Often backed by conservative men, these groups argued that women had complete freedom in the home, and that the political arena should be left to men. 7The women’s suffrage movement gained momentum after 1900 as, one by one, many states began granting women the right to vote. 8There was still no national suffrage law, however. 9In 1913, when five thousand women marched for the cause in Washington, DC, a crowd of onlookers became derisive and abusive. 10The police did not intervene, and more than one hundred women were hospitalized for injuries from the resulting chaos. 11Even after women achieved the vote, nay-saying continued. 12Warren G. Harding was the first president elected after passage of the 19th Amendment. 13When his presidency was rocked by scandals, some blamed women for supporting the candidate who photographed well and was considered handsome.
