1. Citizenship and Inequality
• Citizenship is the status of a person
recognized under the custom or law of a state
that bestows on that person (called a citizen)
the rights and the duties of citizenship. That
may include the right to vote, work and live in
the country, the right to return to the country,
the right to own real estate, legal protections
against the country's government, and
protection through the military or diplomacy.
2. Inequality
• When a certain individual or class is not treated like the
other class. When one individual or class is not given
the same preference as the other.
• Inequality can be of many types
• The case study speaks specifically on gender inequality
and sexuality.
• 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.
(Bendib, 2013)
3. Gender Inequality
• Women are normally the oppressed gender.
• No matter how qualified they are, they will always be paid a partially smaller
amount of what men with the same qualifications would get.
• Why? Because women are looked down on. They are believed to be incompetant
and less intelligent than men.
• Women are encouraged more to stay at home and work as a house wife.
• There is a lot of stereotyping when it comes to women.
• Men are known to be the bread winners, hence they are paid higher and women,
on the other hand, are continuously discouraged to work
• The fact that they are paid less than the men at most workplaces is an indication
of the unpleasantness of working women.
• In Australia, women still earn 70% of what men doing the same job do.
(DevelopmentDiaries, 2014)
4. Root of Gender Inequality
• Gender stereotypes are hard to break, and like it or not, we are all prone
to engaging in stereotyping at one time or another.
• As a general public, we have to keep on encouraging individuals to go past
stereotypes and perceive the commitments that every person, male or
female, can make to the work environment and to connections.
• The sexual orientation compensation hole in the United States is more
level than in numerous different nations. Be that as it may what is
disquieting is that the hole has scarcely contracted since the mid-1990s.
• Likewise, the commitment of men to housework and childcare has
become essentially in the course of recent years, yet is still far beneath
ladies' commitment.
• Such a variety of working ladies keep on haing two employments one in
the work environment and one at home. Childcare is exceptionally
unreasonable in the United States. What's more we are route behind most
European nations and numerous Asian nations as far as offering
competitive, top notch mind (The guardian, 2014).
5. What do you think is the biggest
obstacle for women in the workplace
today?
• I believe that the need in numerous prestigious employments is to
put in long work hours and afterward leave the more ordinary
parts of every day life—like cooking, staple shopping, and
grabbing the children to other individuals.
• This for the most part implies that ladies put a lot of people a
greater number of hours into these family exercises than men.
This enormously weaknesses ladies in the working environment. It
is implausible to expect Gender Equality if working environments
request that ladies be accessible constantly.
(Maximus, 2012)
