Derek Cajun begins his book with an analysis of online dating. According to Cajun you should not turn to online dating when it is so easy to simply go out and find a woman. Cajun said it was important to actually get out and meeting women, because if you lack practice with your social skills, you are likely to mess up a date. Cajun states that dating sites should not be used to find women, but instead to practice your social skills in order to be ready for your dates. His book outlines the proper method for online dating, meeting women, starting conversation, and taking the next steps (Cajun, 2013).
Cajun refers to his books as "the total gentleman or man's guide to get ladies." As an added bonus he includes chapters on "Phone Game" by Tenmagnet, detailing how to make the first phone call to set up a date, an "Intro to Online Dating" by Keychain, and his own person secret, the "Question Game Routine" for creating good conversation leading to the first date. These bonus chapters help men branch out with their dating skills learning how to talk to a woman on the phone, use online dating appropriately, and how to keep the conversation going in such a way that the lady remains interested (Cajun, 2013).
The problem, according to Cajun, is that men go about their lives thinking, "one day I'll be the guy I've always wanted to be (Cajun, 2013; pg 115)," but they never make the decision to start living in that way, so it never happens. Men have to make a conscious decision regarding who they want to be. Therefore, Cajun says his book is for the man who needs help with online dating. He continues, promising, that before he knows it women will be crawling up his arms if he simply follows the tips (Cajun, 2013).
Male and Female Stereotypes
Stereotyping is subtly scattered into our lives. For example, when we find out a little boy is on the way, the parents prepare a blue nursery, collecting polo shirts and jeans for their boy, while picking a theme that suits a boy such as a jungle or dinosaur theme. Toys often purchased for boys include trucks, dinosaurs, action figures, and video games. Boys are taught throughout their lives to be tough, protective, and to defend themselves when necessary. Sometimes boys are taught that daddy goes to work while mommy stays home. This could be interpreted as boys have fun while girls work. Girls are often dressed in pink and taught to be dainty while letting the man take the lead and control within the household (Brewer).
According to Cajun, men want to communicate clearly about money, but most women do not care as much about this topic as men. Cajun asserts that outside of "gold diggers" most women only care about money for the man being able to provide for and pamper them as they desire. When a dating website asks you to disclose your income, Cajun recommends leaving it blank or checking "not willing to disclose." Instead use your profile to focus on your details. Your profile is your best asset if you are focusing on things that connect you with people. Regardless if you make a large sum or the bare minimum, money should not be the first thing discussed. Therefore, it is best left off of your dating profile. If a woman asks later on, then it is appropriate to brooch the subject (Cajun, 2013-page 19).
Gender Roles
Whether it is intended or not, parents treat their children different based on their gender. The daughter's cry is reacted too more quickly than that of the son. Parents may also give more attention to the daughter, and try out new activities, such as sports, with their sons. Boys are enrolled in sports activities while girls are taken to cheerleading, dance, or something of those sorts. We are taught to look up to and respect our parents, but at times our parents can be far from positive role models. "Everyone Talked Loudly in China Town" is an example of this. Lin's mother was very upset to see her daughter kissing a white boy. This is a result of traditional beliefs and what the mother viewed to be morally wrong. Parents often impose their personal beliefs on their children. For example, forbidding children to date outside of their race or even their gender because of pre-conceived beliefs (How do Gender Role Expectations).
As time progresses gender roles have began to slowly...
Book of Job provides some useful insights about the nature of man and God to people who find themselves asking one of the most ancient and common of human questions: "why do bad things happen to good people?" Both believers and nonbelievers often find themselves wondering at what seems to be the incredible randomness of horrific acts that occur to people who seem to be good, or innocent (like children,
Book Of Ruth Ruth, and God's apparent absence. The Old Testament is filled with stories of mighty works between God and man. In supernatural ways, god seem intimately involves with his creation in order to reveal himself in their lives, and weave Himself into their history. Moses, Joshua, Abraham, and Elijah - these mighty leaders seem to be lead, or maybe pushed, to great deeds by intimate interactions with the creator of
The book highlights the actions of the divine, rather than the actions of man. However, if one takes the historical interpretation of the Book of Revelation, the moral content is not lessened. It then stands as an example of what happens to one if they continue to act in a certain way. It is another example of God's punishment and wrath for those that do not obey his word. In
This too is a generalization Dr. Judy is her most stereotypical in her section on "Men, women and dating" (chapter 13) where she informs men about women's desires and vice versa. She advises men for instance to send flowers -- but not all women like that. Some may prefer so -- called male trinkets such as books. She also advises men to cuddle; but some women may not like that
narrative structure of the Grapes of Wrath The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is a realistic novel that chronicles the journey of the Joad family during the dustbowl era. The Joads have lost their farm and are looking for work in California. They are contemptuously called 'Oakies' because they are itinerant migrants from Oklahoma.
