A Fag by Any Other Name: Social Concerns over Same-Gender Sexuality and Self-Image in Porto Alegre, Brazil

Sexism is a complex construct since authors have different notions to present about the topic. Some of them state that sexism is the actions of prejudice based on gender. Therefore, to understand the evolution of sexism in advertising, we should focus on a niche that is provided by the emotional appeals: sexual appeal. The consequences of these stereotypes range from affecting female self-image to misogynistic teachings to which female, male, and child sex are exposed in the ads in question. In today's society, feminists, activists, consumers, and some media have been expressing concern about the sexist representation of women in advertising. In an exploratory and conceptual perspective, this chapter presents contributions for communication, marketing, and publicity around the phenomenon of sexism.

Resumo: A partir de uma etnografia da duração (Eckert e Rocha, 2013) que abordou o trabalho doméstico remunerado e/ou realizado na casa de terceiros enquanto um fenômeno temporal, que dura por meio de múltiplos suportes e linguagens, este artigo tem o objetivo de problematizar as imagens que historicamente são remetidas ao trabalho doméstico em reportagens, livros e filmes; com aquelas que estão sendo reivindicadas e construídas pelas trabalhadoras na contemporaneidade. Sugerimos que as transformações no imaginário deste trabalho podem estar relacionadas ao surgimento de nova regulamentação e configurações deste emprego, que estão provocando mudanças decisivas nas práticas e no reconhecimento de si de trabalhadoras domésticas brasileiras. A pesquisa, de abordagem antropológica, foi realizada com domésticas residentes nas cidades de Belém/PA, Salvador/BA e Porto Alegre/RS e em acervos diversos, em que podemos concluir enorme disparidade entre as imagens que continuam sendo vinculadas em torno do serviço doméstico e àquelas que as trabalhadoras estão construindo à respeito delas mesmas.Palavras-Chave: Trabalho Doméstico Remunerado e/ou Realizado na Casa de Terceiros.

We suggest that the transformations in the imaginary of this work may be related to the emergence of new regulations and configurations of this job, which are causing decisive changes in the practices and self-recognition of Brazilian domestic workers. The research, with an anthropological approach, was conducted with domestic residents living in the cities of Belém/PA, Salvador/BA and Porto Alegre/RS and in various collections, in which we can conclude huge disparity between the images that continue to be linked around the domestic service. and those that the workers are building about themselves.Keywords: Paid Domestic Work and/or performed at the Others House.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

The Impact

Abstract. Background: Suicide rates in older men are higher than in the general population, yet their utilization of mental health services is lower. Aims: This study aimed to describe: (a) what primary care providers (PCPs) can do to prevent late-life suicide, and (b) older men's attitudes toward discussing suicide with a PCP. Method: Thematic analysis of interviews focused on depression and suicide with 77 depressed, low-socioeconomic status, older men of Mexican origin, or US-born non-Hispanic whites recruited from primary care. Results: Several themes inhibiting suicide emerged: it is a problematic solution, due to religious prohibition, conflicts with self-image, the impact on others; and, lack of means/capacity. Three approaches to preventing suicide emerged: talking with them about depression, talking about the impact of their suicide on others, and encouraging them to be active. The vast majority, 98%, were open to such conversations. An unexpected theme spontaneously arose: "What prevents men from acting on suicidal thoughts?" Conclusion: Suicide is rarely discussed in primary care encounters in the context of depression treatment. Our study suggests that older men are likely to be open to discussing suicide with their PCP. We have identified several pragmatic approaches to assist clinicians in reducing older men's distress and preventing suicide.
