Education & Reference - 25 October 2006

In writing a paper on the life of Eleanor Roosevelt, I find confusion in what I shall call the woman. Normally, I would label people by their last name, but the fact of the matter is that there are at least four Roosevelts (Eleanor, her mother, Franklin Delano, his mother) of whom I write several times.
For now, I've called her Eleanor, but I feel this informality will get me deducted points. Shall I replace all "Eleanors" with Mrs. Roosevelt or will the repitition of Roosevelt be an eye sore?

I'm male, white, and very financially successful. I was born rather poor, but I've worked hard, gone to school, and worked very hard to advance myself in my career. In my PhD program, I have a female professor who has not enjoyed a similar level of ecnomic and career success and the other night in class she stated that the only reason I had done well is because of my "maleness" and "whiteness."

I felt insulted. I have always considered myself to be a feminist, a "good liberal," and a humanitarian. I have worked hard to insure diversity in my workplace and I've put policies in place to insure that everyone gets their fair share.

In short, I don't feel like I'm part of the problem - I feel like I'm helping to insure diversity. I feel like the prof has done exactly what she accuses others of doing - judging me because of my sex and color. I don't feel like I'm "part of the problem?" But I could be wrong!

What do I do?

This was actually in the Boston Herald awhile ago. An unidentified woman had been shot and taken to the hospital. The following morning, the media was in the hospital asking their media questions. When the next issue of the Herald hit the newsstands, the article was there, and the last sentence was written: "...and the bullet is in her yet."

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but I have never heard of a body part called the 'yet'.

This is a true story.

I have just started a group project and although i realise group work is important as it helps you with social skills in future careers and other things but i just prefer to work on my own and do things my own way. Am assuming most ppl would say 'in a group' as there is less workload but i guess its just how i am.
