For the sake of this analysis, I will use “well-being” to describe humanity’s end goal of making one’s life as “good” as possible. In the equation of life, happiness is not an end, but is rather a means of achieving well-being. Where well-being is a state of life, happiness is a mental-state; this mental-state can help... |
Lyubormirsky attempts to evaluate individual happiness in a four question exam, that when compiled returns a number on a happiness scale. Three of the questions ask about happiness in relation to others, one reading, “Compared with most of my peers, I consider myself:” (Lyubomirsky, 183). Lyubormirsky contradicts herse... |
This is not to say that subjective happiness, in part, cannot be quantified to a certain degree. Lyubormirsky cites a number of studies revealing that genetics account for 40% of one’s inherent happiness, and another 10% comes via one’s circumstances. These “set-points” are out of our control, yet it is in our power t... |
Aristotle does not think so. His philosophy on eudaimonia -- that pursuit of action, good relationships, virtue, and moral intellect cultivate the human soul -- does not once mention happiness as an asset. Instead, Aristotle suggests that, “Happiness … no one chooses for the sake of … anything other than itself” (Aris... |
Cities are growing, and in recent decades urban growth has begun surpassing its equilibrium. Urbanization is outpacing the development of real estate, hiking the cost of urban life and forcing the working class into suburbia. Historically, cities supported the working class while the middle and upper classes claimed th... |
I am from Westchester County, which, while home to affluent neighborhoods like Scarsdale and Bronxville, is also home to White Plains, New Rochelle, and Mount Vernon. New York City’s recent growth has deepend wealth inequality in Westchester and highlighted Westchester’s need to adapt to a changing landscape. Demand fo... |
Many definitions of social entrepreneurship exist, but Martin and Osberg’s is most widely accepted. From their perspective, social entrepreneurship is the movement from a “stable but inherently unjust equilibrium” to a new, stable equilibrium. This is achieved by identifying opportunities within an unjust equilibrium ... |
Science and masculinity |
Association is regarded as a myth |
Self-evident and nonsensical |
Science is usually seen as emotionally and sexually neutral |
If more women were involved in science then it may take on a different methodology |
Scientific thought is male thought |
More men happen to be involved in science than women but this is an effect not a cause |
Evidence: |
Science is metaphorically talked about as masculine |
eg) Sexual undertones in “hard” sciences vs. “soft” science |
Facts are “hard”, feelings are “soft” |
Women thinking scientifically = thinking “like a man” |
Jordan Peterson: fewer women in science because fewer women than men are interested in science |
In countries with a higher degree of gender equality, a lower number of women go into STEM fields |
Argument: |
Men are naturally overrepresented among those who are especially good at, or interested in, scientific pursuits |
These differences are innate |
Hence we should expect to find women underrepresented in the sciences, and there’s nothing that should be done about it |
Keller’s strategy: |
Explain differences developmentally rather than genetically |
Developmental story explain why science in particular is seen as masculine |
Myth and metaphor |
Language of metaphor can become reality when scientists internalize it |
Science is surrounded by metaphors and language is particularly important |
Science and nature |
Complement of science is Nature |
Nature is seen as a feminine and vulnerable entity that men try to conquer |
Leads to science as a masculine tradition |
Where does genderization come from? |
Scientific thought is intertwined with emotional and sexual development |
Development of objectivity |
Association of science and masculinity has connections to childhood development |
The infant feels as though the mother is part of them/no sense of self or other → infant learns they are independent from the mother and from the rest of the world → other = objective, self = subjective |
Science and love |
Further, difficult developmental stage of ambiguity |
Self is not completely separated from the world so there is not an absolute distinction between subjective and objective |
Self can influence the world and vice versa; self is in the world; other objects in the world are also selves |
Can’t have empathy without an understanding of relation to the world |
Objectivity and science |
We often take separation of self and other to be cognitive maturity |
Classical science has taught us that it is possible to be an objective observer and it is ideal to do so |
Objectivity and gender |
Move from oneness (with mother) to separation (from mother; = not mother) leads to conditioning of objectivity |
Father helps rescue child’s fragile ego, becoming the embodiment of separation |
Father exists in the outside world and represents objectivity itself |
Oneness → separation (self/other) → || ambiguity (no absolute distinction) |
Mother/female → father/masculine |

Final Project Report |
Culture |
Genderization of science exists because of the privilege of masculinity in European culture |
Leads us to privilege objectivity overall |
Internalization |
Men are not better suited to science |
Men are not by nature objective |
Science is not intrinsically masculine |
We just happen to think that science is objective and men are objective |
Some type of mythology |
To be expected that these gender norms will be internalized based on how you identify yourself at a young age |
