Equal Opportunities In The US

Men have always been looked upon as the leading sex. Looking back through history women have been the ones who take care of the home and children, while men are the ones who work and go to war. However in recent years there’s no doubt that women have become much more equal in the work force. Nevertheless men are still the ones who are forced to fight our wars when the time calls for it. Many think that women should be entirely equal to men having their choice to be drafted taken away but the fact is that they are physically at a disadvantage, too emotionally oriented, and the increase of female presence would have a more negative impact in the military in the way of social interactions.

Over the past few years, there has been huge discussions when the topic of equality for women who have joined the military is being brought up. Being that gender equality is a big thing in the military now, I decided to chose this topic and discuss how I feel about it. According to the United States constitution, all men are created equal and this does not exclude women. One of the main things I learned is that equality for women in the military is a major issue. There should be no gender inequality in the United States military period. Most jobs are now open to women that were once allowed for only a man to do but when it comes to something such as the military, it should have always been that way No one should be told they can’t do something when it requires fighting for your country. Even back when men were drafted in the military, women should have been able to get drafted as well. You would think the military would take any and everybody that is willing to fight for his or her country simply because it would make our job easier as a whole. Frequently, women are stereotyped as feeble and incapable of doing certain things. Nevertheless, this should not be applied in any kind of career, particularly in the military.

Men always believed that women cannot do everything like a guy or what men can do because they think women are not as strong as them, or they are too emotional. They want women to stay home cook, clean and take care of the kids. Until today there are some countries still believe that women have no rights to work or do anything. Now women are starting to fight for their rights and to show men that women can do anything men can. Strong women are empowered and role models to young women. One of the biggest inequalities women face is the different physical standards for being allowed into a Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). Now women are able to be part in the military maybe not up to a level where men can reach, but we have taken the first step of women being able to join the military and being able to fight for their country just as

In the past women couldn’t fight in wars or even be in the military if they wanted too. We have several women’s rights movement to fight for equality. Women just recently were able to participate in combat. Everyone should be presented with the same opportunities if they all have the same qualifications that’s with employment, pay rates, and education. Men shouldn’t have to go through any more, and women shouldn’t be expected of any less than the other when everyone has the same credentials and met the qualifications.

Women without a doubt have dealt with a large portion of the inequality that rules this nation. But the military has always been accepting of others. This is a way for women to make great livable wages and maintain a steady occupation. Women being in the military dates all the way back to the civil war. During the times of the civil war many women pretended to be men so they could join and fight for a variety of different reasons. Some went to war to be with their loved ones, they had this thrill for adventure, and the biggest one which is money. (Smith) The reason why it was so easy for women to join the army without a second look is because of the desperation during the civil war. Majority of the soldiers were “citizen soldiers” with no

Our military is in desperate need of soldiers and denying women positions is eventually going to take a toll on our military. Women are more effective in some circumstances than men are, allowing women to serve alongside men doubles the talent pool for delicate and sensitive jobs that require interpersonal skills not every soldier has (“Should Women be Allowed in Combat”-Sister in Arms). Men and women work best when they are together it is how nature intended things to be they each have skills to bring to the table that the other does not, not allowing men and women to work together is automatically setting us up for failure. If we are not allowing women in because society thinks they are incapable of protecting our nation we need to address that cultures change over time and the masculine subculture can also evolve (“Should Women be Allowed in Combat”-Sisters in Arms). Training will not change because of gender, the proper training will be required to facilitate the integration of women into combat

Women have been fighting for equality throughout history. They have fought for their right to vote and they didn’t get that right until the year 1920. They have also proven that they aren’t just a housewife that they can get a job and make their own money and don’t need a man to take care of them. Women have shown that they can do many things, but some people still don’t see that. Women, who make up some 14 percent of the armed forces, should finally be permitted to serve fully in combat along with men.

In this great nation of ours, we can provide freedom for all races cultures and ethics, rights for everybody from every corner of the world, democracy, the opportunity for people with the fire in their hearts to start a business, and equality. Could there be a country so magnificent? The answer to that question is yes, that country is America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. But I worry that the dream of all of this might be in danger to those that don’t know life outside of America.

Is there really a perfect world? Is there a perfect place where anyone can be themselves and not be discriminated against for it? Well if there is, it is not here in America. The United States is no utopia, it still has barriers to overcome in the matter of equality. The Unites States is not a post-racial country even though most Americans would like to believe so. Equal opportunity is just one myth america has to offer. The people in America are not viewed in the same way as one another, everyone is seen as different. People are often seen differently because they may look a different way.

A Major breakthrough in the history of equal employment opportunities in America specifically was in 1941 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order prohibiting government from employment discrimination based on race, color, and national origin. This was a huge stepping stone for Equal employment opportunities in America. But even still there was racism and discrimination all over. It was in 1955 when Rosa parks was asked to move from her seat. And after she refused and they had the police come arrest here this stirred up a huge movement in the African American culture. A couple great people like Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr. got behind the Movement. It was only in 1963 When Martin Luther King Jr. started a peaceful

As citizens of the United States, equality means that all individuals have the right to access a free and equal education regardless of their race, gender, disability, citizenship, or social status. True equal access should lead to the same outcomes for all students when seeking gainful employment, admission to colleges for advanced degrees, and for academic grades. However, this is not always the case because different students need different things in order to reach the same goals.

For my whole life woman have not had equal opportunities as men. Pay for woman in the same jobs are significantly less than males and this isn't just a United States issue this is a global issue. Woman in all cultures are repressed not because of what they look like but for their gender. As it is difficult to address and solve this issue abroad I am only focusing on fixing this at home. This is not just a problem for woman this is a problem for families. Families make less money and financial situations become more and more difficult for single mothers. It's important that we combat this through a petition not only in my state but the whole United States. There is nothing wrong with wanting gender equality. It is wrong to

Inequality, segregation and isolation is what our life consist of. Difference, change, POWER and commitment, are what we need. Where is the equality? The unity? We treat each other like cats and dogs. This world should be filled with diversity, but more than half the people get judged and are treated poorly. After all the wars, laws and deaths America lacks equality. Inequality exist not only in race, but also within gender, social classes and sexuality.

Social Equality has always been a concern of persons living in the United States. One of the main points was the issue of same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage isn’t a new concept in the American social way of life. States used to have the legal power to dictate what the definition of marriage is and who has the right to marry. In the Supreme Case of Obergefell v. Hodges, homosexuals now have the constitutional right for them to be able to marry.

The United States stands as a country that represents freedom, justice, and rights given to the people. Recently, the President of the United States has heavily criticized privately owned organizations such as the NFL, for standing up for unity, solidarity, and equality. Trump had gone out of his way to publicly shame players for not standing during the National Anthem prior to their games. This National Football League has no connection with any presidential authority which ultimately gives President Trump no say in how this matter is handled. Many players are using their fame and platform to be the voice of many people in the country who share the same opinion and demand change. Our country should stand as a free and equal place for anyone despite race, color, or gender and the NFL is using their power to ensure that changes are made to unify our country.
