Women in army

Army equipment officials say engineers are adapting body armor so it provides a more comfortable fit for female soldiers.

Women can be army and can be soldier. or over 3,000 years in a large number of cultures and nations, women have played many roles in the military, from ancient warrior women, to the women currently serving in conflicts, although the vast majority of all combatants in every culture have been men. Even though women serving in the military has often been controversial, a very small number of women in history have fought alongside men. In the American Civil War, there were a few women who cross-dressed as men in order to fight. Fighting on the battlefront in disguise was not the only way women involved themselves in war. Some also served as nurses and aides. Despite various, though limited, roles in the armies of past societies, the role of women in the military, particularly in combat, is controversial and it is only recently that women have begun to be given a more prominent role in contemporary armed forces. As increasing numbers of countries begin to expand the role of women in their militaries, the debate continues. More recently, from the beginning of the 1970s, most Western armies have begun to admit women to serve active duty in all of military branches.

Majority of the people believe that Caucasian people cannot rap but they can. Best example is Eminem. Everyone respects him and considers him one of the best rapper of all time. He's known for his free styling .Eminem has come a long way from his Slim Shady days. The man who was once hip hop’s leading prankster has been through hell and back since he first exploded onto the scene in 1999, and today’s Marshall Mathers resembles a reclusive artist like Prince more than the swagger rappers who dominate the charts.But despite personal setbacks, tragic losses and a career he admits has seen its fair share of “lulls,” Em is optimistic about the future. Speaking to the New York Times, the Detroit MC reveals he spends “five to six days a week” in the studio and finds inspiration in rising stars like Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q. He also has a fair share of commercial rap on his playlist. “Hip hop needs Drake, too. Hip hop needs Big Sean. I feel like hip hop is in a good place right now,” he says. “There’s this balance of things going on, and it feels like some of the best rappers are the most successful. Sometimes that’s not the case.”
Em says he spends a considerable amount of time thinking about where his career is going — surprising for someone who already has a spot in the hip hop Hall of Fame — and also what people have to say about him online, an activity he finds destructive. “Once I’m on the computer, it’s over, because I’m tempted to look at everything,” he reveals. “I went on the computer recently and got on one site, read five comments and was like, ‘Man.’ I have friends that do it — rapper friends. I’m like, ‘I don’t know how you do that.’ Because you end up wanting to fight someone, kill them, or kill yourself — usually all three at once.”

UFC champ Ronda Rousey is changing perception of female fighters. Being a female fighter is not seems to be a weird more. Nowadays, female fighters are getting more than before and it is more sexy and looks so cool. For example Ronda Rousey is that person. Growing up in North Dakota, she was a competitive swimmer. But her life changed forever when her father Ron Rousey broke his back in a sledding accident. Faced with life in a wheelchair, he committed suicide. Ronda was eight years old. A few years later, the young Rousey dropped swimming and began studying judo under her mother AnnMaria De Mars, a world-class judoka who won gold at the 1984 world championships.A teenage Olympian, Rousey eventually rose all the way to the medal stand in Beijing. But behind the scenes, she fought bulimia as she struggled to make weight. With little money, she drifted from town to town. Finally, she retired from judo and joined the MMA circuit in 2010.
As you can see she is a champ and even she is pretty as well so no one judge her. And also being a fighter is not only for men but also women's job.

Female mechanic

Female mechanic is no longer for only Male's job in the world, and nowadays some women want to be a mechanic. Here is an example. 
http://www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au/australian-apprenticeships-ambassadors/automotive-mechanic-fiona-lawrie

Here is an example. The woman who is mechanic in this picture is working as a Automotive mechanic and her name is Fiona. Fiona says she always had an interest in vehicles after learning how to service her car from her father, but never considered it as a career. “I studied to be an interior designer but I really didn’t enjoy it and found myself a little lost with what to do,” Fiona said. “I was making coffees at a cafĂ© for an automotive repair shop owner and he asked me if I knew anyone looking for an automotive Australian Apprenticeship – and that’s how it all began." Fiona says her Australian Apprenticeship has accelerated her development and given her lifelong skills. “Every day I am learning new skills from different people and developing my own way of doing things,” she said. “The most enjoyable part has been the friends I have made - especially the other tradeswomen, I am sure will be friends for life.” Now she is planning on using her experiences and friendships to grow Fanelle, an organisation she started to support women in trades. “I am hoping to start my own mobile mechanics business as well as continuing to grow Fanelle,” she said.

Men in nursing

http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/news/2014/mar/men.html

What I am going to tell you is about being a nurse as a men. Surprisingly I can see men who want to be a nurse on the campus. They wear nursing cloth and take a nursing class. It does not look strange. Nursing is no longer for only women's job. Men can be a nurse too. For example, March 8, 2014 -- In recent months press sources around the world have run helpful pieces about men in nursing. These reports typically note that the percentage of men in nursing is still no more than 10%, but that it is slowly increasing as stereotypes start to fade due to the Truth's work (just kidding). The articles generally focus on at least one man in nursing, from students to senior ward managers, describing the man's path into the profession and giving some sense of what he does at work. On July 10, 2013,USA Todayran apiecefromThe Tennesseanby Lexy Gross. The article provided basic information about the growing number of men in U.S. nursing--from about 2.7% of nurses in 1970 to about 9.6% in 2011, according to a recentU.S. Census Bureau report--with background from nursing experts. The piece also profiled a Tennessee nurse who considers it a "manly job" because of the fortitude it requires. On September 27, 2013, theGuardian(UK) ran aninstallmentof its "Day in the life of..." series of health care profiles written by "student nurse" Alex Collyer, a combat medical technician studying nursing at the University of Southampton. We're not fans of the term "student nurse," which suggests that students are already nurses, but Collyer's piece was an engaging account of the rigors of his education, especially the clinical component. On October 9, 2013, theLos Angeles Timesran Ari Bloomekatz's long, powerfulprofileof David Fuentes, a recent UCLA nursing graduate who overcame a tough background to achieve his dream of becoming a nurse. That piece described some specific things Fuentes does for patients. It also included good quotes from UCLA nursing dean Courtney Lyder, who addressed the stereotypes that remain. And today, theWestern Australianpublished a shorterpieceby Connie Clarke that profiled veteran nurse Ian Suttie, a ward manager at Royal Perth Hospital who started out as a London musician. That article also included very good commentary on men in nursing from the Western Australian Health Department's acting chief nurse and midwifery officer Brett Evans. On the whole, these pieces give the public an accurate vision of a future with more men in nursing, while acknowledging the slow pace of progress and the social barriers that remain. We thank those responsible.

Music Origin of rnb





Picture

Since i was 12 years old kid i have been listening and focusing on RnB. This genre is my one of best and there is no doubt African American people are the best. For example, i do like Luther Vandross, Brian Mcknight, and so on. Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated as R&B or RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. In the commercial rhythm and blues music typical of the 1950s through the 1970s, the bands usually consisted of piano, one or two guitars, bass, drums, saxophone, and sometimes background vocalists. R&B lyrical themes often encapsulate the African-American experience of pain and the quest for freedom and joy. Lyrics focus heavily on the themes of triumphs and failures in terms of relationships, freedom, economics, aspirations, and sex. The term rhythm and blues has undergone a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s it was frequently applied to blues records. Starting in the mid-1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. By the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as "Contemporary R&B". It combines elements of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, pop, hip hop and dance. Popular R&B vocalists towards the early 21st century include Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder,Whitney Houston,and Mariah Carey.

Racial stereotypes : Why always African American...

Straight-Outta-Compton-2
picture by-http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/09/02/misogyny-hip-hop-op-ed/
I do not remember exactly date but i watched movie " Strait Outta Compton". It was amazing movie and i almost fell in love with N.W.A and before i watched this movie i did not know what N.W.A is. Anyway this movie shows us or tell us how they could be a popular hip hop group and how they overcome stereotypes even they were African American they did very well and because of that they could be a successful people. However they also had hard time. Even they had just break on the street, police men thought they are gangster or bad people. It is exactly absolutely wrong. And also If black people get caught from cops, they would be more get strong punishment than white people. Here is some sources about stereotypes of criminals.
The criminal stereotype of African Americans in the United States is an ethnic stereotype according to which African American males are stereotyped to be criminal and dangerous. The figure of the African-American man as criminal has appeared frequently in American popular culture and it has been associated with racial profiling by law enforcement. Research in the United States has revealed a common perception that African-American males are more prone to commit, or more responsible for committing violent crimes in the country. This belief is supported by crime statistics. Per capita, African Americans are much more likely to commit and be arrested for crimes of violence than other racial groups. However, African Americans are significantly more likely to be profiled, arrested and incarcerated in the US than white suspects who commit similar offenses and have equal or longer criminal records. African-American men are overrepresented in the American prison system; according to numerous sources, African Americans are approximately six times more likely to spend time in prison or jail than whites. According to research, African Americans receive up to 60% longer federal prison sentences than whites who commit similar offenses, and 20% longer prison sentences than whites who commit the same offenses. Some academic sources state that this is partially due to prosecutors over-charging African American defendants in contrast to white defendants.
