When searching the required articles, I followed the necessary requirements. The first article called New Brooms They Say Clean: Womens Political Activism on the Ballarat Goldfields, 1854 is a scholarly and peer-reviewed article, as it contains the necessary credentials, namely the information about the author, the authors Ph.D., and the affiliation to a particular university. The article also contains an abstract where the author describes the topic and methodology applied. Further, it contains the footnotes with sources used by the author that appropriately suits the topic of the article. Finally, the article contains specific terminology and a specialized vocabulary thus showing that the author has an in-depth command of knowledge. The second article under consideration called Different Voices: Gender and Politics in Australia has been retrieved from the internet site and is considered a popular article because it does not meet the requirement of a scholarly article mentioned above. Secondly, usually, scholarly periodicals can be found in journals but online.
While searching for the articles, I entered the database of the EBSCOhost library. Then I selected Student Research Center where I located both articles by searching Politics and gender in Australia using the EBSCOhost database. However, selecting this topic, I chose the subject area politics and elections and military in order to simplify my search. I used one library only that contains both popular periodicals and the ones that are peer-reviewed.
In the first article, New Brooms They Say Clean: Womens Political Activism on the Ballarat Goldfields, 1854 the author discusses the gender prejudices that influenced the political history of Australia. In particular, the author criticizes the distinct gender politics in the national epistemic approach surrounded by gender biases pertaining to Jordanian women. In addition, the researcher tries to analyze the cases of women using the empirical approach to the study. A closer consideration of the article provides the authors intention to understand the role of Australian women and the way gender issues contributed to the outbreak of colonial democracy.
In the next periodical called Different Voices: Gender and Politics in Australia, the author describes the feministic tendencies in politics as well as equal political participation of men and women. The article also enlarges on how gender-related to the political issues in contemporary Australia In particular, the author discloses the dilemma of gender relations in the academic field. This article also discloses the eternal problems connected with improper female education.
Comparative politics disclose the utilization of empirical approach where one political system and tendencies are compared with another one, the articles disclose the authors outlooks on the political situation connected with gender discrimination. Hence, the first article describes the contributions of Australian women to the establishment of the new political system. Considering our weekly topics in class, namely the study of comparative politics, the author applies the empirical approach to the study of historical events. The second article reveals a complicated situation taking place in Australia but making a solid emphasis on educational issues. To be more exact, the article points the reasons for growing interest in feminism as a significant aspect of social life thus also imposing an empirical method. As could be viewed, both articles are connected with practical rather than theoretical issues thus disclosing a contemporary outlook on the problem of gender discrimination in politics. Moreover, they also disclose the inevitable interdependence of those aspects.
