Dear Advocacy Representative, As many of us know throughout history there have been many
inequalities that the world has been faced with; whether it is race, gender, or ethnic background. I
am writing you, the representatives for Equal Rights to discuss an urgent concern of American
women in the workplace. Although gender inequality is decreasing, it still exists and makes a lot of
people suffer its consequences every day. Gender inequality is unfair rights between male and
female based on different gender roles which leads to unequal treatment. Gender inequality has been
widely known in human history but not until the beginning of the 20th century has the change of ...

This historic rise came about in 2005 and, since then, the pay gap has remained roughly unchanged.
Women as a whole experience the gender pay gap but there is also a racial pay gap. A woman makes
77 cents for every dollar a Caucasian man makes.
Last year when looking at median hourly pay, black workers earned $18.49 an hour. White workers
earned an average of $25.22 an hour. Caucasian women make about 75 cents to every dollar a
caucasian man makes. Asian women make an average of 85 cents to every dollar a caucasian man
makes. For black, Latina, and Native women, that number is significantly lower. On average, Latina
and black women who are low–wage earners and work full time live below the poverty line. White
men who are low–wage earners and work full time live above the poverty line.
According to the map from National Women's Law Center women lose $418,800 over a 40–year
career. That number is more than double from latina and black women. It will take years for the gap
to be resolved. In the U.S the gender wage gap is lower than it is in any country although there has
not being improvements since the 1990s. However, the contribution of men to household and
childcare has grown significantly in recent years, it is still far below women's' contributions.

Thesis: While this could be the best thing the world could accomplish if something changes, Women
and men should not be segregated into their own category. Because both genders should have equal
rights when it comes to working, money, households, relationships and other categories. This
problem has been around for a long time but never been brought to a lot of people 's attention,
because of this nobody talks about this situation so this problem will continue. People who work
hard can 't get what they deserve because of this issue, Someone should speak up.

Child marriage for young girls are a thing, they are not allowed to be a kid and they cannot have a

Sports
Gender inequality in the sports world is unfair to women on how they can not play a male
dominated sport. If there is a women 's sport it is less participated than a male sport would be.
Women in sports are underpaid. Women who play sports are paid more attention if they wear
provocative clothes. Men get the most attention and money from people who involve their self with
sports. The sports world is very sexist and give males more opportunities to do bigger and better
things.
Conclusion
In today 's society, it might be a fact that women and men will always be fighting to have equality
between each other. There will always be doubts that men and women are not the same or equal.
Women will still be segregated from men with almost anything they do. For one gender to do the
same as the other gender, something will be wrong coming from the other. Being in a man
environment a women will be pushed to the side or sexualized in some way from men. Even though
a lot of men have respect for women, their will still always be gender issues. Coming from me a

Gender And Gender Inequality
The early stages during the first settlement, which is dated back to 10,000 years ago, showed the
evidence that humans being and living local species within their local habitat in their environments
were experiencing a greater democratic lifestyle as it was less controlled. Further down the years
Inequality was firstly shown through the demonstration of gender inequality as female women and
animal species were highly appraised, valued in their status as they were considered much higher
than anything in else in the world due to the fact that their was seen as a form representation due to
the fact they had the capabilities to reproduce and give life to a new existence. Gender Inequality
was demonstrated through peoples preferences even exposed by first created ancients portraits,
paintings, sculptures, rock exhibits and engraved art work pieces all represented the images of
females being displayed as a form of symbolism as their values and their importance of a females
back then was considered much superior compared to men.
For example, when it came to artwork the pervasiveness of Willendorf Venus sculptures and other
symbolic art pieces all across Europe persuaded many people that female women were more
appreciated as they were considered as treasure compared to men. Religious suggestions beliefs had
a strongly feminine factor, embodied in a Great Goddess and concerned with the regeneration and
renewal of life and that the men who were known as gatherers and hunters for food weren't capable
of doing what women were capable of doing. Females developed repetitive views of time that drew
on the changing periods on the cycles of females such as fertility, birth, pregnancy, new birth, and
death. Men were seen more as a gender that was capable to produce food by working hard in labour
such as in agriculture farming by cultivating gathering wild foods such as berries, nuts, roots, and
grain by rummaging dead animals; by hunting live animals; and by fishing as men were only known
for their hard work compared to females and animals who were more cherished as they had they

Gender inequality is currently a hot topic in our society. From education, to the entertainment
industry, and more importantly, to our daily lives, gender inequality has created a powerful divide
between females and males. The same trend follows in the workplace, where females are less likely
to hold positions of authority compared to their male counterparts, which is a key contributor to the
workplace gender inequality all across the United States.

Therefore, by allowing more females in manager positions, companies can easily facilitate gender

Fuller and Schoenberger offered their own insight on this topic with their article titled The Gender
Salary Gap, which explored the influence of different levels of education, hands–on career
experiences, and choice of major, on the starting salaries of college graduates. They narrowed their
research by choosing candidates that were business majors, such as finance, accounting, etc. They
filled the gaps of previous research by finding measurable factors that affected the salary gap, and
they also asked whether a certain set of characteristics had the same effects later on in the person's
career as it did in the beginning (Fuller 179).
By using quantitative methods such as regression analysis, decomposing of differentials in starting
salary, and by quantifying candidates' characteristics, so they could be easily measured and
compared, they found that the more educated and experienced a woman was, the higher her starting
salary. Education and experience, along with the other characteristics declined in impact over a
couple years of working, for both men and women. The results also showed that "women in the

The gender wage gap needs to improve because it is hurting these women by suppressing their
earnings making it extremely difficult to balance family and work, because children are dependent

should never be tolerated. I believe that gender bias is a number one factor for an unequal paycheck.

television shows and books teach the minds of young adolescent's, societies impression of family

Essay On Gender Inequality
Freedom and equality are ideas this country has had for centuries that have evolved over time. In
1776, what Thomas Jefferson meant by "all men are created equal", is that white males are dominant
in society. Women are treated worse than men and slaves treated worse than women. People that
weren't of the "superior" race/gender of a white male were typically treated as if they were less.
Women and African–Americans aren't being treated as bad today, but they're still being treated
worse than the white males of society. Even today, when white males are typically the leaders of
society, it's not always race and gender that creates inequality; sometimes it's money that creates the

Now the students are missing out on the curriculum the rest of the country is trying to reach because
they need to have the skills to have a demanding job. Schools in a high–income society usually get
even more than the curriculum. Private schools have just about everything. They have good

"In 90 minutes of observing the private–school class, there were zero interruptions, zero yawns, and
zero cell phones", (Godsey, 2015). Although when Godsey observed that there were zero
interruptions in 90 minutes, he later went to a public–school and it ended up being a nearly the
opposite observation. "It 's not completely clear how fluent he [the teacher] is in the subject matter,
however, because he has been interrupted or distracted by 20 things in 20 minutes: a pencil being
sharpened, a paper bag being crumpled and tossed..." (Godsey, 2015). Comparing the private–school
to the public–school, the private–school had more opportunities and focus than the public–school,
thus creating a better environment for students to learn and be successful. Schools are evidently

Does Gender Inequality Still Exist in the United States?
"Glass Ceiling" is a metaphor that describes an invisible barrier that prevents women from achieving
success. This is a metaphor widely used in the 1900s and is still used today. In the past, a woman's
role was perceived to be only for reproduction. They are seen as the housewives, or the fragile, weak
person. Hence, laws on equality were ratified. Even with laws created to improve gender equality,
women are still suffering from the lost opportunities and disrespect of society. Politics, workforce,
and childhood upbringing are elements that prove how inequality in females still exist today in the
United States.
Politicians are one of the key elements that demonstrate how female inequality takes place in U.S.
society. In the article, "Inequality in America's Political Class" by Marc Priester, it stated, "Males
currently comprise a whopping 80 percent of both chambers, and whites make up 80 percent of
House members and 94 percent of senators" (Priester 6). For many years, the U.S. government is
composed of mostly men instead of women. This indicates how people in the United States still
believe in the traditional notion of men dominating women. The philosophy that men are more
intelligent and efficient for ruling the country is still what most people believe. However, a lot of
people don't realize that women also stand eye to eye with men based on their capabilities. Women

Gender Inequality And Ethnic Inequality
Introduction
To begin with, it might be necessary to define the terms of Gender inequality and ethnic inequality
in employment. While gender disadvantage refers to the prejudicial treatment of an individual or
group based solely on issues of gender (Robert, 2008); ethnic inequality indicates the unfair
distribution of opportunities and resources between the majority white and 'black and minority
ethnic groups' in the labour market. The two issues have been rooted in the job market for long, and
despite recent progress of improvement, the issues remain and probably have evolved into more
covert and complex forms. In the following context, the two kinds of disadvantages will firstly be
introduced respectively, together with reasons behind the scene; yet, acknowledge the relevance of
gender differences to ethnic inequality, the explanations given for BME group's predicament will be
aware of the overlaps between gender and ethnicity issues; a brief conclusion will also be provided
in the final part, however, given the complexity of the picture, for example, the extent to which
women and men from different ethnic groups experience disadvantages varies (Vittachi, 2011), it is
hard to generalise and any predictions about future prospect may not be realized.

Gender And Gender Inequality
Long time ago, parents tended to invest on their sons rather than their daughters. In the past, most of
boys went to school, and girls stayed home. At that moment, the women were not treated equally
because they did not go outside to work. The women only stayed home to take care of children and
do housework, so they depended on their husband financially. Nowadays people have still treated
one another differently based on group identity, especially when it comes to gender appearances.
Gender inequality has been happening around the world, it still occurs at some careers, workplaces,
and at home. Culture has a great impact on gender inequality in some developing countries. For
instance, Vietnamese people like to have more sons rather than daughters because they believe in
"raising a daughter is like watering your neighbors' garden," and raising a daughter as "ploughing
someone else's field" (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 11). In Vietnam, parents usually invest more on their
sons rather than daughters because the sons play a significant role in religious rituals. Jayachandran
(2014) reported that "sons will carry on the family name or widows wanting to retain family land
also make the first son especially valuable" (p.14). Therefore, the sons are valued in my family. I

Gender Equality And Gender Inequality
Throughout the past few decades, the gender inequality discourse have became a dominant feature
of international, national and local policy debate on the subject of economic development. This
policy concern has emerged as an area of scholarly research which seeks to show that improving
gender equity leads to economic growth.
Gender Inequality in Australia:
According to the data published by Australian Bureau of Statistics in May 2015, the full time
average earnings of women is $284.20 or 17.9% less than the full time average earnings for men,
this figure is calculated on the full time employees' average weekly ordinary time earnings. The
gender pay gap has hovered between 15% and 19% over the past two decades. The gender pay gap
is the different between average weekly full time equivalent earnings of male and female, expressed
as a percentage of earnings of male. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency highlights that the
gender pay gap is resulting from a combination of factors, including the female graduates start on a
lower wages then male graduates, even they are in the same industries and workplace and this is

Gender Inequality
Occupational segregation and gender equality within the workforce has been extensively debated
over recent decades. Gender equality within the workforce is achieved when all individuals have
access and receive equal benefits, resources and opportunities regardless of their gender (WGA,
2017). This requires workplaces to; distribute equal paid work or work of comparative value,
eliminate barriers that restrict full or equal employment for women, provide women with access to
all industries and occupations, allow women the opportunity to hold leadership roles and eliminate
gender discrimination, especially regarding care responsibilities (Australian Human Rights
Commission, 2017). In doing so, these features enable women to uphold the flexibility and work
opportunities that their male–counterparts enjoy. Attaining gender equality is important as it
provides a foundation for society to function at its full human potential and become the most
efficient and resourceful nation possible (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017). The
purpose of this essay is to analyse whether the recent increase of women entering the workforce
correlates to gender inequality within the workforce. The first section of this paper will provide an

Gender Inequality
Gender inequality is the preference or favoritism against an individual completely or even halfway
because of their gender. This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who
belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of
all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a
woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost
every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are
slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions
and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and
occasions to give some examples.
Women are forced to face more hurdles in life every day and prove so much more to be termed as an
equal to a man in the society. Moreover, the same hard–earned position in the society is much more
vulnerable than a man. A single mistake or wrong judgment could very easily shove that woman's
life into a corner. To put it in detail, most of the times, people question the qualities and experience
of the person taking charge of a situation or a group of people. Consequently, the person in charge is
under a constant judgment of their actions. The criticality of this situation is multiplied when the
person in charge is a woman. Presently, in the 21st

gender inequality
Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It
arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles as well as biologically through
chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences.[1] Gender systems are often dichotomous
and hierarchical; gender binary systems may reflect the inequalities that manifest in numerous
dimensions of daily life. Gender inequality stems from distinctions, whether empirically grounded
or socially constructed. (On differences between the sexes, see Sex and psychology.)

With horizontal segregation, occupational sex segregation occurs as men and women are thought to
possess different physical, emotional, and mental capabilities. These different capabilities make the
genders vary in the types of jobs they are suited for. This can be specifically viewed with the
gendered division between manual and non–manual labor.[citation needed] With vertical
segregation, occupational sex segregation occurs as occupations are stratified according to the
power, authority, income, and prestige associated with the occupation and women are excluded from
holding such jobs.[6]
As women entered the workforce in larger numbers since the 1960s, occupations have become
segregated based on the amount femininity or masculinity presupposed to be associated with each
occupation.[citation needed] Census data suggests that while some occupations have become more

of prejudice that is still highly prevalent in our society, gender inequality. Over your lifetime you
have probably been confronted by the idea that men are paid more than women. But what does this
mean and why does this division exist? Why do we devalue the economic contribution of a woman
to the extent that we pay her less? No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved
gender equality. In almost every country, women are paid less for an hour's work than men. The fact
the gender pay gap persists is horrendous. In Australia, the principle of "equal pay for equal work"
was introduced in 1969 by the Australian Government, anti–discrimination on the basis of sex was
legislated in 1984 (Commonwealth of Australia 1998). Nevertheless, pay discrepancies based on the
gender of an employee still exists. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency claims 'removing the
gap' could take up to 50 years in Australia, (Peetz, Murrary 2017). Members of the Harmony Day

are regarded as better parents and more professionally competent than employed mothers (Etaugh &

ambition is frowned up because women are stereotyped and think that women should stay home and

INTRODUCTION
Their biological aspects exclusively distinguish males and Females; genetically, females have two X
chromosomes while males have an X and Y chromosome. These biological differences are what
divide the human population into males and females. Unfortunately humankind has the mind set that
there's something "natural" about gender distinction because biology makes one sex different from
the other. What they don't know is gender is the personal traits and social positions that members of
a society attach to being female or male. Gender is not a trait we are born with, rather it is a "brand"
to which we are labeled with. It refers to the psychological, social, cultural, and behavioral
characteristics that are being associated with being a female or male. Gender involves hierarchy,
ranking men and women unfairly in terms of power, wealth, and other resources. Although men and
women have became more equal in today's time, Turkey still faces unequal complications regarding
gender relations; the lives of Turkish males and females are being shaped in their choice of careers,

behaviors are usually associated with male characteristics. Society places different types of
behaviors, roles and expectations on females and males. There are various types of gender
inequality. For example, there is gender inequality in work, income, occupation, and education.
Work and gender is can greatly impact individuals. The work that men and women does has a great
significant impact on their status in society. Female are more associate with home–base work, while
men are associated with high status work that pays. However, many of the work that women does
are seen in relation to their husbands. Another, type of gender inequality is in relation to income.
There is gap with income between men and women. However in recent years, that gap has begun to

Gender Inequality Before this class, I didn't know anything about sociology. In high school we didn't
have sociology classes. I didn't know the basics of it or what I was going to learn. When we first
started sociology I felt very far behind because I never took any classes in sociology before. I felt
like everybody was more informed then I was. When we got to gender inequality, I was clueless.
When I thought about it on my own, before we went over it, I would've believed it was about how
men and women are different and how they are seen to the society. I knew that the husband were the
ones that made the money and women stayed home and raised the children. I thought this topic was
going to be very hard and I wasn't going to understand it because I didn't have any knowledge in
sociology. But, when we started to talk about it, it was very interesting because how women and
men were in the 60s are very different then how it is today. I experienced this topic before;
personally, and on television. When I was younger my mom would stay home and take care of me
and my sister while my dad was at work. Since this was more recent my mom would also work, and
I would be at daycare and my sister would at school. But, my dad would bring home most of the
money because my mom didn't work that much, she was too busy taking care of us. There is also

Gender Inequality In Today's World
With the year being 2017, you wouldn't think that gender inequality still existed. Sadly, this seems to
be a problem that people still seem to face day by day. How exactly do sociology and gender
inequality go hand in hand? The word sociology itself means the study of how people are affected
by things that affect them. Gender inequality means the unequal treatment of males or females
because of gender roles. To understand this more thoroughly, gender roles are like the way you are
expected to be or act in society. For example, women are supposed to stay at home, cook and take
care of the children, while the men are the "breadwinners". Given the years, more and more women

Social movements are an important part to our society because it brings change to our society and

are right.
Gender inequality might not be an important issue to the government at this point in time, just
because they focus on other things like war and terrorism, which granted should have a higher
priority, but this is an issue that we should not just keep "sweeping under the rug". If one day
women and men were equal, I feel like men would not feel "superior" anymore and feel like their
masculinity was at an all time low. Although this would be just a portion of the men population, I'm
sure the other majority would be ecstatic at the huge step forward. Some women would be a little
irritated at this some even mad, just because as children some females were raised to get married,
become housewives and do take care of their husbands. It is a sad thing to say but many of these
females never expected to have the freedom to vote or be equal to men. Personally, this would
change my life because I believe that more women would start to think about important topics that
they were too afraid to talk about at first. For example in a prison females sometimes do not get the

Gender Inequalities And Gender Inequality
Gender inequalities have been around since the beginning of time, and it has been a long and bumpy
road to achieve the amount of equality that we have today. Still everyday women have the risk of
being discriminated against for simply being women. Depending on where these women live, what
the predominate culture in the area is, and the amount of education that is allowed affects their risk
of being discriminated against and the severity of the act itself. Discrimination can be displayed in
forms such as segregation, wage gap, harassment and many more. Abusive practices, against women
happen daily and can be justified through cultural practices but never can justify depriving a
person's basic human rights. Many cultures carry some sort of female discrimination inside of their
rudimentary values ranging from a girl's access to education to a woman's right to drive or even be
considered a citizen within her own state. In contrast, these cultural practices many times are not
seen as harsh gender inequality to some women of such culture. Many of these practices haven't
taken place for thousands of years and are no longer seen as discriminatory, but as general everyday
events that should be practiced to maintain a healthy balance in her own culture. Every year 63
million girls are denied their right of basic education to inform them on the harsh inequalities that
take place inside their everyday life. The women who are educated rarely are allowed to voice any

It is undeniable that gender inequalities issues have become a centerpiece within global politics.
Despite efforts in the last decade by feminist activists and politicians to reach gender equality in
politics, women are still underrepresented within governments worldwide. Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau said it best when he was questioned as to why he considered gender parity within his
Cabinet to be a necessity : 'Because it's 2015' (Warzecha). The aim of this essay will be to defend
Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to implement gender parity as it purports to decrease gender
inequalities and because gender parity in itself fulfills the basic values of a democratic state. In order
to determine the possible implications of this new policy, it is necessary to determine whether
institutions ought mirror society in their political representation. The case of the Rwandan
government will be reviewed in order to determine the outcome and implications of a female–
majority government so as to determine the benefits of gender parity. Finally I will evaluate the
possible flaws behind the establishment of gender parity and how despite those flaws, the Canadian
government and governments worldwide ought to establish gender parity as a duty to democracy
and future generations.

Gender Inequalities in Sport
Men throughout history have been the dominant gender, from the times of hunting with stone
weapons to the modern day metal and automated machines. Many negative connotations are thought
of when comparing women to men like strength, but less so when comparing men to women. Is it
the society's view that women are weaker than men or is it a natural fact brought to light? In sports
women experience many prejudices, but even so some sports are equal or even female dominant.
However the sheer majority lie in the male dominated section leaving women feeling oppressed and
as if they have unequal rights, and they mostly do. Some instances of women oppression or unequal
rights in sport belong to the sponsorships they receive, the effect media plays on children and
women and also the history of sport and of gender inequality itself. The physical make up of each
gender also effects stereotyping and how people perceive each gender.
Gender inequality is a hot political issue today and inequality itself has been prevalent in sport
throughout its history. The inventor of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, created the
Olympics with the mindset that women should not be allowed to compete but only spectate. Today
women do compete just like men do and many women excel in sports that men can't do well in and
vice versa. Gender inequality has been, in large, a major part of society since the beginning. Men

Gender Inequality in the Workforce "We hold these truths to be self–evident; that all men and

quote it is stated that all men and women are created equal. This is the bedrock of the founding of
our country. Is this really followed? Are men and women equal in our society or are we oblivious to

This was known throughout our society's past that women would be punished for trying to educate
themselves or ignore the gender roles that were premeditated. Women were completely frustrated
and wanted equal opportunities as a man. Women marched, petitioned and lobbied for a law to be
passed to have women be equal. Then, in 1972, the Equal Rights Amendment, which had lingered in
Congress for almost fifty years, was finally passed and sent to the states for ratification. The
Amendment stated, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of sex." (Eisenberg and Ruthsdotter). This was a great
accomplishment for women in this time period. When this was passed it gave an opportunity for
women to get the jobs they were once denied.
This issue is still a recurring problem in society today. One of the most recent current event was The
Women's March which occurred January 21 of 2017. Most of the rallies were aimed at Donald
Trump, immediately following his inauguration as President of the United States, largely due to
statements that he had made and positions that he had taken which were regarded by many as anti–
women or otherwise offensive. It was the largest single–day protest in U.S. history. This protest

Changing the Mindset
Women have been fighting for equal rights and opportunities since the beginning of time. In the year
of 2017 it finally seems as though women finally are receiving these equal opportunities. With
movements such as women's suffrage, although long ago, have helped to advance women in places
such as the workplace. A big issue with some women nowadays is the wage gap. The problem is not
that women are not being paid the same as men in the same positions. It is that men are in higher up
positions such as CEOs and grossing more than women. Therefore, the issue is not that there are no
equal opportunities for women, it is more of a mindset. Women in 2017, as far as the workplace
goes, can achieve anything a man can. It comes back to how we are raised and the current mindsets
of Americans. In the United States based upon gender there is now equal opportunity, it is just a
matter of whether these opportunities will be ceased.
More times than less when growing up people believe and resemble their parents. Growing up
Americans have ideas and beliefs instilled in them from their parents. There is a huge difference
growing up as a male than a female. Men growing up are told to shoot for the stars and be a business
CEO or doctor where as women are more geared towards being a model or nurse. A big part of what

The Pros And Cons Of Gender Inequality
Gender inequality, by definition, is the differences in status between men and women in society. It
normally affects women more than men, due to their status in society. Many women are said to
experience gender inequality within workplaces. This begs the question: why do gender inequalities
exist? The most logical cause of gender inequality would be stereotyping. Men are pictured as being
the quarterbacks, the breadwinners, needing to work to be able to support their family. On the other
hand, however, women are pictured as the housewives, mothers, and caretakers of the house. In
modern society, the typical "housewife" ideals have changed. Ever since World War II, women are
deciding to work and work, rather than stay at home, defying their ... Show more content on

Many women claim that family issues hold them back from reaching upper levels. According to a
recent study, 45% percent of women simply do not have a drive for higher positions, due to
"discrimination, stereotyping, prejudice, family demands, and lack of opportunities" compared to the
other 55% (Emory, 2008). In society, each gender is expected to have a certain role. In a family,
women are usually expected to stay home and care for the children, as well as keeping the house
clean and cooking for the working man. However, in the modern day, women play both roles, going
out and doing work as well as taking care of the family. Women are mainly thought of being in the
kitchen, and because of this, it is very hard for men to picture them in a different light. "A woman's
primary attachment is to the family role," Oakley says, "women are therefore less intrinsically
committed to work than men and less likely to maintain a high level of knowledge" (Oakley, 1974;
28). Before women pushed for their equal rights of working and having equal pay as men, this
evidence goes onto explain the way that they lived as housewives and essential maids as people

Gender Wage Gap Inequality The gender wage inequality topic is one that has quietly laid in
Americas closet of problems for decades. A female worker in Louisiana makes on average an
alarming sixty–six cents compared to the dollar a man makes in twenty sixteen. When a father
comes home after a forty–hour long work week making fifteen dollars an hour, he will open up a
paycheck to six hundred dollars. When a mother comes home after working the same hours as the
father, she will prepare dinner, change your diaper, lay you down to sleep. The only difference is her
paycheck reads three hundred ninety–six dollars. It is only getting more challenging for females in
today's society as well. A defining term in the last two decades pertaining to gender wage gap
inequality is the glass elevator effect. More men are choosing female dominated jobs such as
nursing, teaching etc. While females slowly try to advance by increasing their salaries and rise up to
higher paying and important positions, men seem to effortless glide their way to the top by an
invisible escalator. This is called the glass elevator effect (Forbes). In America, this problem may go

Social inequality is defined as the set of unequal opportunities for different social classes or statuses
for various individuals within a group or society. It usually refers to people of distinct genders, ages,
and ethnicities. Many American's have experienced some type of social inequality throughout their
lifetime. America's gaping inequality is seen everywhere from education to the workforce. Society
tends to oversee inequality based on race, gender, and other social characteristics . Americans
believe that racial discrimination no longer hinders or affects the advancement of minorities. Racial
and ethnic actions are still being taken towards minorities in education, employment, housing,
arrests, and many other issues of society. Social inequality and discrimination towards minorities is
clear in everyday society. This can be seen by the way inequality is still persistent among the social
classes. Among these classes formed by society, minorities tend to be one of the most affected. This
is noticed by the way education remains segregated, the wage inequality, and the constant cycle of
poverty. Many have used their voice to shine light on these issues, articles and authors such as

Women. We are the subordinate class. Our portrayal in the real world has proven this 'fact' to many.
Many people ask how could a women even be considered an equal? With the lesser pay and respect
we are given, it is not very surprising this question is being asked. Yet we are also growing up in the
age of Oprah Winfrey, Hilary Clinton, Malala Yousafzai who all represent the strong and
empowering qualities women hold. They fought to have a say, and now hold the respect of
thousands. So the real question one must ask is not regarding how women can be considered equal,
it is regarding as to why we are considered as lesser after having accomplished just as much as men,
if not more? The gender gap places woman on a lower pedestal. We are continually receiving less
pay, despite possessing similar knowledge and capabilities as men. An article from the World
Economic Forum stated that the pay gap is widening and having the opposite effect than planned
"despite [the] numerous initiatives to break glass ceilings and force salary disclosure." This pressing
issue is in dire need of a resolution. The gender gap not only threatens women's individual rights, it
violates the equal protection clause under the fourteenth amendment which promises to protect
women from sex discrimination. With the equal protection clause in place that specifically declared
the "equal protection of the laws," one would have hoped that gender equality fell within this
criteria, however that is not the case.

Gender inequality in the workforce is a matter of fervent debate and while some argue that there are
innate and distinct differences between male and female cognitive abilities, I believe there to be
other factors at play, including pervasive gender stereotyping and other social forces like bias and

Elizabeth Spelke (2005), in the article, Do Significant Innate Differences Influence the Career
Success of Males and Females, explains how a study conducted on high school students who were
given a mathematical word problem to solve, found that girls tended to favor a formula to solve a
math problem and boys a venn diagram, thus demonstrating that boys have a preference for spatial
reasoning (p. 64). Although the research ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This could be due to the way girls and boys are treated or perceived differently from early on in their
lives. An interesting study on gender labeling found that people ascribe a male or female label to a
child responding to a jack–in–the–box popping up, where the child was labeled male if people
perceived the child's response to be anger, or female if the perceived response was fear (Significant
Innate Differences, Career Success p. 67). A child will learn to live out the perceptions that others
have of them, where girls in the study will learn that their response to the jack–in–the–box is
attributed to fear and people expect them to respond as such.
According to Erik Erikson, early adulthood coincides with entry into a psychosocial stage that
involves exploration into and the need to form warm and close connections with others and establish
a partnership with an intimate other. If this intimacy versus isolation stage is not successful, a young
adult may feel lonely and isolated as opposed to experiencing fulfilling and committed relationships
(Messineo, 2017). As Erikson's stages build on one another, a key component of success in intimate
relationships at this stage is the accomplishment of a secure and stable self–identity from the
previous stage of seeking identity versus role confusion in adolescence (where teenagers grapple
with establishing a secure sense of themselves as opposed to being uncertain and confused about
who they are) (Messineo, 2017). Without a

This paper aims to look at the Policies that could introduce to move us more towards male and
female equality. As we know, some people still hold an opinion that men and women are not equal
in this world which give rise to differences in the role of genders. To break down the reasons for
gender inequality, we have to comprehend what we mean by gender inequality. How might we
imagine and discuss gender inequality in ways that are sufficiently general to apply over the scope
of pertinent marvels, sufficiently reliable to limit applied ambiguities, and sufficiently exact to be
scientifically viable? Gender inequality has been remarkably assorted and across the board. Ladies
and men are unequal in each possible route in unlimited conditions, both prompt and continuing, by
both target criteria and subjective experience. In the human evolution, gender inequality is still act
as a barrier. In this paper, I will shed some lights on policies that will diminish the inequality
between male and female.

Not wearing makeup is an unmarked decision for men while for women, it will mark them
differently in the eyes of others. Today, if a girl decides not to wear makeup to school, she is
bombarded with questions like "Are you sick?" or "Are you tired?" Girls are then judged if they
wear too much makeup, if they do not wear it correctly, if they do not wear enough, or if they
choose to not wear it at all. Wearing makeup is used to determine whether a woman looks
professional, put–together, or attractive, and if it is not worn women are marked to be without any of
these characteristics. Women cannot stay unmarked since every action will define her character,
even if it is negative or false definition.
Not only is a woman's appearance judged to reveal her character, but there is also an expected
standard of beauty for women to maintain. In the essay "A Woman 's Beauty: Put Down or Power
Source," Susan Sontag discusses how the ideal of beauty has now become a duty for woman.
Women are judged into parts, and one part of a woman's body can determine their beauty in the eyes

Gender And Gender Inequality
Gender inequality is the preference or favoritism against an individual completely or even halfway
because of their gender. This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who
belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of
all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a
woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost
every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are
slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions
and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and
occasions to give some examples.
Women are forced to face more hurdles in life every day and prove so much more to be termed as an
equal to a man in the society. Moreover, the same hard–earned position in the society is much more
vulnerable than of a man. A single mistake or wrong judgment could very easily shove that woman's
life into a corner. To put it in detail, most of the times, people question the qualities and experience
of the person taking charge of a situation or a group of people. Consequently, the person in charge is
under a constant judgment of their actions. The criticality of this situation is multiplied when the

Racial Inequality And Gender Inequality
Dating back to the 1800's, racism and gender inequality have played a prominent role in America.
Ranging from slavery to the Jim Crow laws to the war on drugs, racial inequality is present in our
everyday lives. Likewise, gender inequality is also as prominent as there are many inherent barriers
for women in the workplace such as sexual harassment, inability to ascend into high ranking jobs
and stereotypes involving gender roles. Even with the implementation of anti–discrimination laws,
racial and gender inequality would still be present in our society because many disparities between
race and gender are not caused by explicit discrimination but rather implicit discrimination. Anti–
discrimination laws promote equality in theory, but not so much in practice as legal reasoning isn't
exempt from ethical or political beliefs. In order to discuss the reasons that anti–discrimination laws
fail to bring about racial and gender inequality, we must first define anti–discrimination laws and its
relation to racism and sexism. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was implemented to outlaw segregation
based on race, color, and religion in all public businesses. It also forbade employers from
discrimination on the same values when employing workers. Using the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a
basis, we define that anti–discrimination laws refers to the right of all people to be treated equally,

Gender Inequality And Gender Equality
Gender inequality is the state in which access to rights or opportunities is affected by gender. Gender
inequality is an issue not just nationally but globally. This issue is portrayed by the mistreating of
individuals, mainly women, and not valuing everyone as one. This presentation will illustrate the
exploration of gender equality, propose a solution and why that solution will produce a better future
for a better world.
Gender inequality is a very important issue common in our world today that refers to unequal
treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially
constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and
hormonal differences. Gender inequality stems from distinctions, whether empirically grounded or
socially constructed. The only differences that men and women behold is their appearance and some
organs. Women have 1 brain and 1 heart which is the same as men but are still dehumanised. If our
world continues to carry out gender inequality, women won't have a voice to contribute to our
society and men will have the final choice and the freedom of speech. Out of the seven deadly sins,
two of the seven occur the most; Pride and Envy. Pride is shown by the man who thinks they're
superior to women. This is sometimes a result from Envy. Envy is seen when the man suffers from
jealousy about the woman and her possessions. He then treats her less than as a sign of

Essay On Gender Inequality

  • 1. Essay On Gender Inequality Amnesty International 5 Penn Plaza, 16th Floor New York, NY 1001 Dear Advocacy Representative, As many of us know throughout history there have been many inequalities that the world has been faced with; whether it is race, gender, or ethnic background. I am writing you, the representatives for Equal Rights to discuss an urgent concern of American women in the workplace. Although gender inequality is decreasing, it still exists and makes a lot of people suffer its consequences every day. Gender inequality is unfair rights between male and female based on different gender roles which leads to unequal treatment. Gender inequality has been widely known in human history but not until the beginning of the 20th century has the change of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This historic rise came about in 2005 and, since then, the pay gap has remained roughly unchanged. Women as a whole experience the gender pay gap but there is also a racial pay gap. A woman makes 77 cents for every dollar a Caucasian man makes. Last year when looking at median hourly pay, black workers earned $18.49 an hour. White workers earned an average of $25.22 an hour. Caucasian women make about 75 cents to every dollar a caucasian man makes. Asian women make an average of 85 cents to every dollar a caucasian man makes. For black, Latina, and Native women, that number is significantly lower. On average, Latina and black women who are low–wage earners and work full time live below the poverty line. White men who are low–wage earners and work full time live above the poverty line. According to the map from National Women's Law Center women lose $418,800 over a 40–year career. That number is more than double from latina and black women. It will take years for the gap to be resolved. In the U.S the gender wage gap is lower than it is in any country although there has not being improvements since the 1990s. However, the contribution of men to household and childcare has grown significantly in recent years, it is still far below women's' contributions. In today's society, women make up almost half of the workforce; in four out of ten families, women are the equal, if not main, breadwinners as ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Gender Inequality : Gender Inequalities Michael Ursini Mrs. Karen Cardenas English 4 Sec 03 Sum 17 07 July 2017 Gender Inequalities Thesis: While this could be the best thing the world could accomplish if something changes, Women and men should not be segregated into their own category. Because both genders should have equal rights when it comes to working, money, households, relationships and other categories. This problem has been around for a long time but never been brought to a lot of people 's attention, because of this nobody talks about this situation so this problem will continue. People who work hard can 't get what they deserve because of this issue, Someone should speak up. Workplace In the business world and workforce, gender issues plays a big problem. Most women ...

According to Young Advocates young women are married by the age of 15. Sports Gender inequality in the sports world is unfair to women on how they can not play a male dominated sport. If there is a women 's sport it is less participated than a male sport would be. Women in sports are underpaid. Women who play sports are paid more attention if they wear provocative clothes. Men get the most attention and money from people who involve their self with sports. The sports world is very sexist and give males more opportunities to do bigger and better things. Conclusion In today 's society, it might be a fact that women and men will always be fighting to have equality between each other. There will always be doubts that men and women are not the same or equal. Women will still be segregated from men with almost anything they do. For one gender to do the same as the other gender, something will be wrong coming from the other. Being in a man environment a women will be pushed to the side or sexualized in some way from men. Even though a lot of men have respect for women, their will still always be gender issues. Coming from me a women will always have to humble herself. From personal experience women have a strong sense of stability to work harder, although men do ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Gender And Gender Inequality The early stages during the first settlement, which is dated back to 10,000 years ago, showed the evidence that humans being and living local species within their local habitat in their environments were experiencing a greater democratic lifestyle as it was less controlled. Further down the years Inequality was firstly shown through the demonstration of gender inequality as female women and animal species were highly appraised, valued in their status as they were considered much higher than anything in else in the world due to the fact that their was seen as a form representation due to the fact they had the capabilities to reproduce and give life to a new existence. Gender Inequality was demonstrated through peoples preferences even exposed by first created ancients portraits, paintings, sculptures, rock exhibits and engraved art work pieces all represented the images of females being displayed as a form of symbolism as their values and their importance of a females back then was considered much superior compared to men. For example, when it came to artwork the pervasiveness of Willendorf Venus sculptures and other symbolic art pieces all across Europe persuaded many people that female women were more appreciated as they were considered as treasure compared to men. Religious suggestions beliefs had a strongly feminine factor, embodied in a Great Goddess and concerned with the regeneration and renewal of life and that the men who were known as gatherers and hunters for food weren't capable of doing what women were capable of doing. Females developed repetitive views of time that drew on the changing periods on the cycles of females such as fertility, birth, pregnancy, new birth, and death. Men were seen more as a gender that was capable to produce food by working hard in labour such as in agriculture farming by cultivating gathering wild foods such as berries, nuts, roots, and grain by rummaging dead animals; by hunting live animals; and by fishing as men were only known for their hard work compared to females and animals who were more cherished as they had they ability to give life and reproduce. The rise of cities played some major roles in forming inequality as in the beginning there were agricultural ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 7. Gender Inequality Gender inequality is currently a hot topic in our society. From education, to the entertainment industry, and more importantly, to our daily lives, gender inequality has created a powerful divide between females and males. The same trend follows in the workplace, where females are less likely to hold positions of authority compared to their male counterparts, which is a key contributor to the workplace gender inequality all across the United States. There are a lot of common misconceptions about the facts and aspects of workplace gender inequality. For example, many people believe that women themselves choose lower paying jobs that have little or no authoritative roles. Or that the gender pay gap and inequality in the workplace is due to ...

Fuller and Schoenberger offered their own insight on this topic with their article titled The Gender Salary Gap, which explored the influence of different levels of education, hands–on career experiences, and choice of major, on the starting salaries of college graduates. They narrowed their research by choosing candidates that were business majors, such as finance, accounting, etc. They filled the gaps of previous research by finding measurable factors that affected the salary gap, and they also asked whether a certain set of characteristics had the same effects later on in the person's career as it did in the beginning (Fuller 179). By using quantitative methods such as regression analysis, decomposing of differentials in starting salary, and by quantifying candidates' characteristics, so they could be easily measured and compared, they found that the more educated and experienced a woman was, the higher her starting salary. Education and experience, along with the other characteristics declined in impact over a couple years of working, for both men and women.

Many of these issues vary in degree and intensity across different countries. The gender wage gap and educational gender gap are by far one of the main inequalities, which undoubtedly affects women and in many cases minorities. Pay equity is greatly deprived in North and South America, the Middle east and Asia. Asia is the largest continent containing approximately 60 percent of the world's population and with Indonesia being the fourth most populated nation in the world, the women are discriminated against in both work and school environments. The gender pay gap affects women of all ages, education levels and ethnicity. Despite Indonesia being in the most populated region in the world, the United States managed to have the highest gender wage gaps amongst developing countries. Indonesia and the United States is one in the same when it comes to disadvantages and social inequalities women face at ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The gender wage gap needs to improve because it is hurting these women by suppressing their earnings making it extremely difficult to balance family and work, because children are dependent upon that sole income. Women were always subjected to casual sexism and domestic work. Doing the laundry, cooking, and tending to the children were their sole duty. Unequal pay for equal work should never be tolerated. I believe that gender bias is a number one factor for an unequal paycheck. Gender pay equity is even further away than originally thought. This form of discrimination violates human rights in every way. This topic is extremely crucial and important because it reflects the immeasurable discrimination women are facing.

  • 11. Gender Inequality Gender Inequality in Children's Broadcasting The mass media has been stereotyping genders and misleading the minds of children for ages. Children's books present a plethora of ideologies, beliefs, and values from the dominant culture, including gender ideologies. The social constructs that society has invented is being taught to children as they mindlessly watch a television show or read a book, not knowing the propaganda of what they are consuming. The gender inequality in children's television shows and books teach the minds of young adolescent's, societies impression of family gender roles, relationships and the different levels of importance with physical looks in men versus women. These reasons help highlight how children's media is promoting gender inequality and distorting the minds of young children. The 'American Dream' has been shown in copious television shows, movies and books. It is displayed in almost every children's show. Some examples would be 'Cailou', 'Franklin', 'The Berenstain Bears', 'Little Bear' or even 'The Jetsons'. The American Dream is commercialized to advertise the life that everyone should want. The hardworking father who provides the roof over the family's head, the stay at home mother who cleans and cooks, the brother and the sister in a big house with a white picket fence. This dynamic is exposed to children at an early age, in almost every show they watch and every book they read. How television has portrayed the family is important since ...

  • 13. Essay On Gender Inequality Freedom and equality are ideas this country has had for centuries that have evolved over time. In 1776, what Thomas Jefferson meant by "all men are created equal", is that white males are dominant in society. Women are treated worse than men and slaves treated worse than women. People that weren't of the "superior" race/gender of a white male were typically treated as if they were less. Women and African–Americans aren't being treated as bad today, but they're still being treated worse than the white males of society. Even today, when white males are typically the leaders of society, it's not always race and gender that creates inequality; sometimes it's money that creates the issue. Not just from past evidence, but from present ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Now the students are missing out on the curriculum the rest of the country is trying to reach because they need to have the skills to have a demanding job. Schools in a high–income society usually get even more than the curriculum. Private schools have just about everything. They have good materials, good educators, good students, etc. Students in private schools are taught to love learning. "In 90 minutes of observing the private–school class, there were zero interruptions, zero yawns, and zero cell phones", (Godsey, 2015). Although when Godsey observed that there were zero interruptions in 90 minutes, he later went to a public–school and it ended up being a nearly the opposite observation. "It 's not completely clear how fluent he [the teacher] is in the subject matter, however, because he has been interrupted or distracted by 20 things in 20 minutes: a pencil being sharpened, a paper bag being crumpled and tossed..." (Godsey, 2015). Comparing the private–school to the public–school, the private–school had more opportunities and focus than the public–school, thus creating a better environment for students to learn and be successful. Schools are evidently unequal when comparing them based on the focus, curriculum, and money.

  • 15. Gender Inequality Does Gender Inequality Still Exist in the United States? "Glass Ceiling" is a metaphor that describes an invisible barrier that prevents women from achieving success. This is a metaphor widely used in the 1900s and is still used today. In the past, a woman's role was perceived to be only for reproduction. They are seen as the housewives, or the fragile, weak person. Hence, laws on equality were ratified. Even with laws created to improve gender equality, women are still suffering from the lost opportunities and disrespect of society. Politics, workforce, and childhood upbringing are elements that prove how inequality in females still exist today in the United States. Politicians are one of the key elements that demonstrate how female inequality takes place in U.S. society. In the article, "Inequality in America's Political Class" by Marc Priester, it stated, "Males currently comprise a whopping 80 percent of both chambers, and whites make up 80 percent of House members and 94 percent of senators" (Priester 6). For many years, the U.S. government is composed of mostly men instead of women. This indicates how people in the United States still believe in the traditional notion of men dominating women. The philosophy that men are more intelligent and efficient for ruling the country is still what most people believe. However, a lot of people don't realize that women also stand eye to eye with men based on their capabilities. Women are more cautious with the things they do and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 17. Gender Inequality And Ethnic Inequality Introduction To begin with, it might be necessary to define the terms of Gender inequality and ethnic inequality in employment. While gender disadvantage refers to the prejudicial treatment of an individual or group based solely on issues of gender (Robert, 2008); ethnic inequality indicates the unfair distribution of opportunities and resources between the majority white and 'black and minority ethnic groups' in the labour market. The two issues have been rooted in the job market for long, and despite recent progress of improvement, the issues remain and probably have evolved into more covert and complex forms. In the following context, the two kinds of disadvantages will firstly be introduced respectively, together with reasons behind the scene; yet, acknowledge the relevance of gender differences to ethnic inequality, the explanations given for BME group's predicament will be aware of the overlaps between gender and ethnicity issues; a brief conclusion will also be provided in the final part, however, given the complexity of the picture, for example, the extent to which women and men from different ethnic groups experience disadvantages varies (Vittachi, 2011), it is hard to generalise and any predictions about future prospect may not be realized. The Position of Women in the Labour Market Over the last 40 years, women have achieved great success in gaining their equalities in the workplace, this view is particularly advocated by a stream of feminists called Liberal ...

  • 19. Gender And Gender Inequality Long time ago, parents tended to invest on their sons rather than their daughters. In the past, most of boys went to school, and girls stayed home. At that moment, the women were not treated equally because they did not go outside to work. The women only stayed home to take care of children and do housework, so they depended on their husband financially. Nowadays people have still treated one another differently based on group identity, especially when it comes to gender appearances. Gender inequality has been happening around the world, it still occurs at some careers, workplaces, and at home. Culture has a great impact on gender inequality in some developing countries. For instance, Vietnamese people like to have more sons rather than daughters because they believe in "raising a daughter is like watering your neighbors' garden," and raising a daughter as "ploughing someone else's field" (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 11). In Vietnam, parents usually invest more on their sons rather than daughters because the sons play a significant role in religious rituals. Jayachandran (2014) reported that "sons will carry on the family name or widows wanting to retain family land also make the first son especially valuable" (p.14). Therefore, the sons are valued in my family. I still remember when I was a child, I saw my mother tried to be pregnant several times to have baby boys. However, she had only one boys, and four girls accidently. When I was a little, I noticed the gender was ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 21. Gender Equality And Gender Inequality Throughout the past few decades, the gender inequality discourse have became a dominant feature of international, national and local policy debate on the subject of economic development. This policy concern has emerged as an area of scholarly research which seeks to show that improving gender equity leads to economic growth. Gender Inequality in Australia: According to the data published by Australian Bureau of Statistics in May 2015, the full time average earnings of women is $284.20 or 17.9% less than the full time average earnings for men, this figure is calculated on the full time employees' average weekly ordinary time earnings. The gender pay gap has hovered between 15% and 19% over the past two decades. The gender pay gap is the different between average weekly full time equivalent earnings of male and female, expressed as a percentage of earnings of male. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency highlights that the gender pay gap is resulting from a combination of factors, including the female graduates start on a lower wages then male graduates, even they are in the same industries and workplace and this is maintained throughout their careers, women are under presented in leadership and senior management position, women's traditional caring role combined with lack of flexible work options that force them into casual an non–career part time jobs, men receive bigger attraction and performance bonuses than women and male dominated work has historically been better paid ...

  • 23. Gender Inequality Occupational segregation and gender equality within the workforce has been extensively debated over recent decades. Gender equality within the workforce is achieved when all individuals have access and receive equal benefits, resources and opportunities regardless of their gender (WGA, 2017). This requires workplaces to; distribute equal paid work or work of comparative value, eliminate barriers that restrict full or equal employment for women, provide women with access to all industries and occupations, allow women the opportunity to hold leadership roles and eliminate gender discrimination, especially regarding care responsibilities (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017).

Attaining gender equality is important as it provides a foundation for society to function at its full human potential and become the most efficient and resourceful nation possible (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017).

This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and occasions to give some examples. Women are forced to face more hurdles in life every day and prove so much more to be termed as an equal to a man in the society. Moreover, the same hard–earned position in the society is much more vulnerable than a man. A single mistake or wrong judgment could very easily shove that woman's life into a corner. To put it in detail, most of the times, people question the qualities and experience of the person taking charge of a situation or a group of people. Consequently, the person in charge is under a constant judgment of their actions. The criticality of this situation is multiplied when the person in charge is a woman. Presently, in the 21st ...

It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences.[1] Gender systems are often dichotomous and hierarchical; gender binary systems may reflect the inequalities that manifest in numerous dimensions of daily life.

These different capabilities make the genders vary in the types of jobs they are suited for. This can be specifically viewed with the gendered division between manual and non–manual labor.[citation needed] With vertical segregation, occupational sex segregation occurs as occupations are stratified according to the power, authority, income, and prestige associated with the occupation and women are excluded from holding such jobs.[6] As women entered the workforce in larger numbers since the 1960s, occupations have become segregated based on the amount femininity or masculinity presupposed to be associated with each occupation.[citation needed] Census data suggests that while some occupations have become more gender integrated (mail carriers, bartenders, bus drivers, and real estate agents), occupations including teachers, nurses, secretaries, and librarians have become female–dominated while ...

Our diversity makes Australia a great place to live. Members of the Toowoomba Regional Council Harmony Day Committee, thank you for the opportunity to present to you an issue of prejudice that is still highly prevalent in our society, gender inequality. Over your lifetime you have probably been confronted by the idea that men are paid more than women. But what does this mean and why does this division exist? Why do we devalue the economic contribution of a woman to the extent that we pay her less? No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. In almost every country, women are paid less for an hour's work than men. The fact the gender pay gap persists is horrendous. In Australia, the principle of "equal pay for equal work" was introduced in 1969 by the Australian Government, anti–discrimination on the basis of sex was legislated in 1984 (Commonwealth of Australia 1998). Nevertheless, pay discrepancies based on the gender of an employee still exists. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency claims 'removing the gap' could take up to 50 years in Australia, (Peetz, Murrary 2017). Members of the Harmony Day Committee, it is evident that we need to curtail our beliefs and values towards pay equality and furthermore, we need to support our values, we need to make a tangible change.

Employed fathers are regarded as better parents and more professionally competent than employed mothers (Etaugh & Folger, 1998). They are regarded as better fathers because they go to work to sustain their children and seek their professional ambitions, but when a mother goes to work and seeks her professional ambition is frowned up because women are stereotyped and think that women should stay home and care for their children. Furthermore, women who are pregnant or have two children are less likely to be hired or promoted because for some employers it shows lack of commitment (Fuegen et al., 2004).

Gender Inequality : Gender And Gender INTRODUCTION Their biological aspects exclusively distinguish males and Females; genetically, females have two X chromosomes while males have an X and Y chromosome. These biological differences are what divide the human population into males and females. Unfortunately humankind has the mind set that there's something "natural" about gender distinction because biology makes one sex different from the other. What they don't know is gender is the personal traits and social positions that members of a society attach to being female or male. Gender is not a trait we are born with, rather it is a "brand" to which we are labeled with. It refers to the psychological, social, cultural, and behavioral characteristics that are being associated with being a female or male. Gender involves hierarchy, ranking men and women unfairly in terms of power, wealth, and other resources.

Still everyday women have the risk of being discriminated against for simply being women. Depending on where these women live, what the predominate culture in the area is, and the amount of education that is allowed affects their risk of being discriminated against and the severity of the act itself. Discrimination can be displayed in forms such as segregation, wage gap, harassment and many more. Abusive practices, against women happen daily and can be justified through cultural practices but never can justify depriving a person's basic human rights. Many cultures carry some sort of female discrimination inside of their rudimentary values ranging from a girl's access to education to a woman's right to drive or even be considered a citizen within her own state. In contrast, these cultural practices many times are not seen as harsh gender inequality to some women of such culture.

Despite efforts in the last decade by feminist activists and politicians to reach gender equality in politics, women are still underrepresented within governments worldwide. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it best when he was questioned as to why he considered gender parity within his Cabinet to be a necessity : 'Because it's 2015' (Warzecha). The aim of this essay will be to defend Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to implement gender parity as it purports to decrease gender inequalities and because gender parity in itself fulfills the basic values of a democratic state.

The case of the Rwandan government will be reviewed in order to determine the outcome and implications of a female– majority government so as to determine the benefits of gender parity.

Then, in 1972, the Equal Rights Amendment, which had lingered in Congress for almost fifty years, was finally passed and sent to the states for ratification. The Amendment stated, "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." (Eisenberg and Ruthsdotter).

In the year of 2017 it finally seems as though women finally are receiving these equal opportunities. With movements such as women's suffrage, although long ago, have helped to advance women in places such as the workplace. A big issue with some women nowadays is the wage gap. The problem is not that women are not being paid the same as men in the same positions. It is that men are in higher up positions such as CEOs and grossing more than women. Therefore, the issue is not that there are no equal opportunities for women, it is more of a mindset. Women in 2017, as far as the workplace goes, can achieve anything a man can.

In the United States based upon gender there is now equal opportunity, it is just a matter of whether these opportunities will be ceased.

Many women claim that family issues hold them back from reaching upper levels. According to a recent study, 45% percent of women simply do not have a drive for higher positions, due to "discrimination, stereotyping, prejudice, family demands, and lack of opportunities" compared to the other 55% (Emory, 2008). In society, each gender is expected to have a certain role. In a family, women are usually expected to stay home and care for the children, as well as keeping the house clean and cooking for the working man. However, in the modern day, women play both roles, going out and doing work as well as taking care of the family. Women are mainly thought of being in the kitchen, and because of this, it is very hard for men to picture them in a different light. "A woman's primary attachment is to the family role," Oakley says, "women are therefore less intrinsically committed to work than men and less likely to maintain a high level of knowledge" (Oakley, 1974; 28).

Many people ask how could a women even be considered an equal? With the lesser pay and respect we are given, it is not very surprising this question is being asked. Yet we are also growing up in the age of Oprah Winfrey, Hilary Clinton, Malala Yousafzai who all represent the strong and empowering qualities women hold.

Although the research ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This could be due to the way girls and boys are treated or perceived differently from early on in their lives. An interesting study on gender labeling found that people ascribe a male or female label to a child responding to a jack–in–the–box popping up, where the child was labeled male if people perceived the child's response to be anger, or female if the perceived response was fear (Significant Innate Differences, Career Success p. 67). A child will learn to live out the perceptions that others have of them, where girls in the study will learn that their response to the jack–in–the–box is attributed to fear and people expect them to respond as such. According to Erik Erikson, early adulthood coincides with entry into a psychosocial stage that involves exploration into and the need to form warm and close connections with others and establish a partnership with an intimate other. If this intimacy versus isolation stage is not successful, a young adult may feel lonely and isolated as opposed to experiencing fulfilling and committed relationships (Messineo, 2017). As Erikson's stages build on one another, a key component of success in intimate relationships at this stage is the accomplishment of a secure and stable self–identity from the previous stage of seeking identity versus role confusion in adolescence (where teenagers grapple with establishing a secure sense of themselves as opposed to being uncertain and confused about who they are) (Messineo, 2017).

  • 69. Gender Inequality This paper aims to look at the Policies that could introduce to move us more towards male and female equality. As we know, some people still hold an opinion that men and women are not equal in this world which give rise to differences in the role of genders. To break down the reasons for gender inequality, we have to comprehend what we mean by gender inequality. How might we imagine and discuss gender inequality in ways that are sufficiently general to apply over the scope of pertinent marvels, sufficiently reliable to limit applied ambiguities, and sufficiently exact to be scientifically viable? Gender inequality has been remarkably assorted and across the board. Ladies and men are unequal in each possible route in unlimited conditions, both prompt and continuing, by both target criteria and subjective experience. In the human evolution, gender inequality is still act as a barrier. In this paper, I will shed some lights on policies that will diminish the inequality between male and female. Gender Discrimination and violence– "Men are not supposed to be paid more for performing a particular job just because they are men. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 made it a legal federal requirement that pay scales for identical work be the same regardless of whether the employee doing the labor is male or female. If a woman works the same hours, performs the same tasks, and have to meet the same goals for her employer as a man does, she is entitled to equal pay". (Wolfe.L, Sep.2017). In ...

  • 71. Gender Inequality Society today often only addresses one side of the gender inequality issue: the grievances of women. Feminists have fought against the ingrained tradition of women as housewives with no rights and being looked down upon as the lesser sex. The women's rights movement in the United States has worked tirelessly since 1848 to fight for rights and break down gender barriers. Misogyny and gender constructs, such as the ideal of beauty, hold women back in various aspects of their lives as discussed in the articles "Marked Women" by Deborah Tannen and "A Woman's Beauty: Put Down or Power Source" by Susan Sontag. Men are viewed as the dominant sex and in our patriarchal society, they have all the rights women do not get to enjoy. This gender gap ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Not wearing makeup is an unmarked decision for men while for women, it will mark them differently in the eyes of others. Today, if a girl decides not to wear makeup to school, she is bombarded with questions like "Are you sick?" or "Are you tired?" Girls are then judged if they wear too much makeup, if they do not wear it correctly, if they do not wear enough, or if they choose to not wear it at all. Wearing makeup is used to determine whether a woman looks professional, put–together, or attractive, and if it is not worn women are marked to be without any of these characteristics. Women cannot stay unmarked since every action will define her character, even if it is negative or false definition. Not only is a woman's appearance judged to reveal her character, but there is also an expected standard of beauty for women to maintain. In the essay "A Woman 's Beauty: Put Down or Power Source," Susan Sontag discusses how the ideal of beauty has now become a duty for woman. Women are judged into parts, and one part of a woman's body can determine their beauty in the eyes of others. In the 21st century, girls are taught that beauty is to have plump lips, big breasts, hairless legs, a flat stomach, a tiny waistline, a thigh gap, and other ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 73. Gender And Gender Inequality Gender inequality is the preference or favoritism against an individual completely or even halfway because of their gender. This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and occasions to give some examples. Women are forced to face more hurdles in life every day and prove so much more to be termed as an equal to a man in the society. Moreover, the same hard–earned position in the society is much more vulnerable than of a man. A single mistake or wrong judgment could very easily shove that woman's life into a corner. To put it in detail, most of the times, people question the qualities and experience of the person taking charge of a situation or a group of people. Consequently, the person in charge is under a constant judgment of their actions. The criticality of this situation is multiplied when the person in charge is a woman.

  • 75. Racial Inequality And Gender Inequality Dating back to the 1800's, racism and gender inequality have played a prominent role in America. Ranging from slavery to the Jim Crow laws to the war on drugs, racial inequality is present in our everyday lives. Likewise, gender inequality is also as prominent as there are many inherent barriers for women in the workplace such as sexual harassment, inability to ascend into high ranking jobs and stereotypes involving gender roles. Even with the implementation of anti–discrimination laws, racial and gender inequality would still be present in our society because many disparities between race and gender are not caused by explicit discrimination but rather implicit discrimination. Anti– discrimination laws promote equality in theory, but not so much in practice as legal reasoning isn't exempt from ethical or political beliefs. In order to discuss the reasons that anti–discrimination laws fail to bring about racial and gender inequality, we must first define anti–discrimination laws and its relation to racism and sexism. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was implemented to outlaw segregation based on race, color, and religion in all public businesses. It also forbade employers from discrimination on the same values when employing workers. Using the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a basis, we define that anti–discrimination laws refers to the right of all people to be treated equally, regardless of gender, race, and ethnicity. Despite its egalitarian intentions, anti–discrimination laws ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 77. Gender Inequality And Gender Equality Gender inequality is the state in which access to rights or opportunities is affected by gender. Gender inequality is an issue not just nationally but globally. This issue is portrayed by the mistreating of individuals, mainly women, and not valuing everyone as one. This presentation will illustrate the exploration of gender equality, propose a solution and why that solution will produce a better future for a better world. Gender inequality is a very important issue common in our world today that refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences. Gender inequality stems from distinctions, whether empirically grounded or socially constructed. The only differences that men and women behold is their appearance and some organs. Women have 1 brain and 1 heart which is the same as men but are still dehumanised. If our world continues to carry out gender inequality, women won't have a voice to contribute to our society and men will have the final choice and the freedom of speech. Out of the seven deadly sins, two of the seven occur the most; Pride and Envy. Pride is shown by the man who thinks they're superior to women. This is sometimes a result from Envy. Envy is seen when the man suffers from jealousy about the woman and her possessions. He then treats her less than as a sign of Envy/Jealousy. Women ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
