N.O.W. & C.W. (National Organization of Women) Statement of Purpose The N.O.W. Statement of Purpose was a historic document written to take action against the discrimination of women in all aspects of life in which they are affected. This document was written by Betty Friedan and Pauli Murray to represent the organization and spread their message and goal throughout the United States. Friedan and Murray were the co-founders of the National Organization of Women, founded in 1966 to end sex discrimination and provide women with reproductive healthcare.

Murray being an African American woman greatly limited or disqualified her from many job opportunities and industrial positions while Friedan could only work as a housewife and a freelance writer due to her lack of education opportunities compared to that of a man. As a trans woman, Murray was also denied any sort of gender-affirming healthcare, and women as a whole were still deprived access to reproductive healthcare or contraceptives even after the founding of the American Birth Control League in 1921 and the start of commercial production of birth control in the United
Betty Friedan, author and activist, is known for her substantial role in altering the stereotype perception of society that women are to be average housewives, performing conventional female tasks in the home, such as cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Society believed that women should not be employed in the real world workforce, even if they did attain a high level of education. Friedan addressed these misconceptions through her books, including her most famous The Feminine Mystique

Increasingly accepted as a fundamental practice, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) remains an ambiguous concept, with no clear-cut definition (Tench et al., 2012:6) and systemic conceptual framework (Carroll, 1999). The discipline is synthesised as a corporation’s obligation to contribute to the welfare of the society as well as the organisation (Daft et al., 2010:134).

This paradox in marital benefits have many implications including lower martial satisfaction and divorce. In the
Andropause is the term given to the time when androgen hormones decline in men creating symptoms similar to those seen in menopausal women. Decreases in testosterone levels along with number of leydig cells are attributed to andropause. Although the term “adndropause” is not recognized by the World Health Organization, “low-T” and “hypogonadism” are commonly used instead. While the symptoms are all the same, many different names have been attributed to menopause-like symptoms in males. Some physicians

the disorder as neither being psychotic nor psychoneurotic; hence, the term ‘borderline’ was introduced (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, 2009, p. 15). Then in 1960, Otto Kernberg coined the term ‘borderline personality organization’ to describe persistent patterns of behavior and functioning consisting of instability, and distressed psychological self-organization (National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, 2009, p. 15).

Osteopaths, as primary health care practitioners, must have useful knowledge and tools in assisting patients who cope with the consequences of binge drinking.
