Differences Between Men And Women

Over the course of history, men and women have be faced with a communication barrier. The differing communication skills between men and women present challenges that can lead to foreseeable problems in relationships. These problems arise out of differing purposes, styles, traits, and emotions that accompany communication between the two sexes. Unless an understanding is reached, these barriers may never be broken down.

Do you know what it is like to be discriminated? Do you know how it feels when you did not get the job, part, or opportunity just for being who you are? Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. There are many different ways and forms of discrimination and they are all wrong. Discrimination is something that we need to put an end to, especially the discrimination of women. The discrimination of women is overlooked and irrelevant to most people. According to a poll of 2000 employees commissioned by Investors in People, 8 in 10 women (83%) in full-time employment believe that gender discrimination still exists in the workplace. Women have experienced discrimination in history, school, and in the workplace; because of this discrimination society has viewed women as inferior to men.

For years in our society there has been a lot of controversy over the differences in men and women. Are they equal? What exactly are the real differences? Do these differences affect what each gender is capable of doing in their everyday lives? A philosopher of the nineteenth century, Wilhem von Humboldt once wrote,

Sex is defined as “the average, reliable, biological differences between males and females” (Auleb 1). One biological difference between males and females is in external genitalia: males have penises whereas females have vaginas. Sexuality refers to one 's sexual orientation, sexual behaviors, and capacity for sexual feelings (YourDictionary.com). Someone who is not sexually attracted to anyone may identify themselves as asexual. And sexual identity is one 's conception of themselves in terms of to whom they are sexually and romantically attracted, if they experience sexual or romantic attraction at all (Wikipedia.org). Someone who is attracted to people regardless of gender may identify as bisexual, or as pansexual if they do not adhere to the belief that there are only two genders.

I cannot argue the fact that men and women are physically different. The physical differences are rather obvious and most of these can be seen and easily measure. I believe nature has created differences between the genders and some of these are hard wired and instinctive; however there comes a time when it gets “tricky to untangle biological from cultural factors.” (Bennhold, 1), and more often than not our society, our culture, as well as our own family are the ones pushing us into accepting today’s gender role

Over time there have been many discriminations against age, race, gender, religion, and ethnicity. An ongoing struggle for women that are as equally qualified as men is getting paid less. It is estimated that women are paid twenty percent less compared to their male colleagues. Women have been trying to change these statistics for many years. If women got paid the same as men, it could help benefit the economy, yet females with more education lose money due to the gender pay gap. The biological differences between men and women are inevitable, but there is no reason why a woman should be underpaid for the same amount or quality of work as a man.

After many years of fighting for equality amongst everyone, women are still faced with unequal work treatment compared to men. It has been going on for centuries, and yet it is still not resolved. A man and a woman could be offered the same position and have the same level of experience and education, but the man will almost always see a larger paycheck from it. The amount of work and hours spent could be equally exhausting, and still, the treatment is not equal.

Gender Discrimination at workplace is becoming a huge obstacle for an individual’s professional growth. Despite the efforts of the law many reports are

It is now the year 2017, and there is still inequality in the workplace; there are jobs that are geared toward specific genders, and there is still a pay difference between men and women. There are many great reasons why gender equality should be in effect in the workplace. Not only is it morally fair to have the same opportunities available to both genders, but equality also stimulates the economy, the national economic growth, and productivity. There are many positive outcomes with equality in the workplace but there is still conflict, mainly from the heads of companies when it comes to hiring of the employees. The decisions made on hiring should not be swayed to a gender, but unfortunately, sometimes it is. The positives and

Gender inequality is the discrimination against women, who experience multiform of oppression from the inequality environment. Women are inferior to men in ordinary way of thinking. At present human society, gender discrimination is an extension of traditional culture from the point of history. Therefore, the problem faced by female result from the influence of workplace exiting gender bias.

There are many differences when it comes to comparing men and women. There are not only physical appearance differences but there are also internal working mechanisms of their bodies that are different. Men and women differ genetically, physiologically, and psychologically (Loftus, Banji, & Schooler, 1987). Not only does battle of the sexes occur in real world situations, scientists argue back and forth as to which should be superior in terms of cognitive functioning and especially memory ability. Researchers have determined that memory ability may be influenced by differences in interest and expectations along with physiology capabilities (Loftus et al., 1987). It is also believed that cognitive style may play a role in what one remembers. Cognitive style is the psychological differences in a person’s manner of cognitive functioning particularly acquiring and processing information (Kozhevnikov, 2007). During early childhood, memory starts to develop by way of conversation with others primarily caregivers and parents (Dahl, 2014). It is believed that children there were asked for more detail in their story’s later in life could recall those earlier memories in more detail. Research has shown that parents spend more time introducing new information with girls and with boys more time talking about what to do with their feelings (Dahl, 2014). This could be in part because culture along with society tends to have gender

Spiritual well-being is one aspect of the human experience that is appears controversial and intriguing at the same time. This study approached the hypothesis of gender differences between men and women in spiritual well-being. The study used the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (Ellison, 1983) and assessed 75 college students in the survey. The study resulted in data that confirmed the hypothesis that men and women do not have any significant differences in spiritual well-being.

Gender equality in salary is always unfair. Men employees always receive higher wages than women employees had received. Companies would like to hire men employees compared to women employees because they believed women employees are weak and cannot competent in the workplace although they have abilities and skills. As a conclusion, our research has proven that this theory was true.

The difference of men and women are usually defined by the organs they develop, and the ways in which those are used. Upon opening most magazines, a warm greeting from a woman’s slim, photoshopped body or an oddly attractive man with a six pack will be offered. Many advertising agents would apply various techniques to get customers involved with their product and one of the most common ones is using sexual content in the advertising. It has been proven that media that involves sexual content gains more attention from all age and gender groups. The common image of a female features a young woman with attractive body revealing herself to the public. When it comes to men, they are represented as strong and brave men who are very masculine. From images similar to those, the clear gender difference provokes resentment and sexually fueled difference in society between man and woman. The sexualizing among men and women today merely enhances negative interactions between each gender; overall society would benefit grandly if the sexism in media was regulated.

For centuries, the differences between men and women were socially defined through a lens of sexism, in which men assumed to be superior over women. The vision of equality between the sexes has narrowed the possibilities for discovery of what truly exists within a man and women. The world would be less interesting when everything is the same. Today none of us would argue that men and women are physically different, but they differ emotionally, and mentally.
