Equality And Gender Equality

Many people are often misinformed or given bad first impressions of feminism. However, feminism is equal rights for all people of different race, sex, gender, and sexuality. Many of the people that give feminism a bad name, include a self-proclaimed feminist that is running for presidency, and meninists who are satirical equal rights activists. In reality, feminism is pro-gender equality and opportunities for all types of people.

Discussions about gender and race equality are a big part of our daily lives; however, the fact that this is even a discussion might be a problem in itself. Woman or man, black, white or yellow, were words conjured up by scientists to classify species just as german shepherd and poodle were. They were not meant to be used as a way to label people in society, with regards to who they are or what they do. 

Labels and categories were meant for food, utensils, and lab settings, not for people in society. So why is it that from a young age we are taught that there is a separate bathroom for men and women, that most guys are attracted to girls and girls to guys, that blue is for boys and pink is for girls, that anyone that has a different shaped

The fight women’s rights and equality has been an ongoing theme throughout history. Much like racism, sexism limits a person based on a physicality they cannot control. Its uncivilized and brings a huge uproar and controversy in its path. For years there has been groups and protests to change the course of sexism and change it for the better. Admittedly, it has improved, but as a society we are far from equality.

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.

The gender of a newborn is decided by the sex he or she is born in. As a child continues to develope he or she has conformed into the categories of men and women. However, there are exception, but for the purpose of this essay the focus will remain on what the current research reveals. Gender is influenced by the people who surround a person, this often primarily includes family and extends to friends. In Granger et al..s’ study, students gravitate towards friends with the same concepts of gender identity and gender behavior (2016). Inequality continues to be an issue despite the efforts to change. For every dollar a man make a woman makes eighty cents (Brown & Patten, 2017). Inequality begins by the actions of people and gender stereotypes or gender roles.

The best things in life take hard work, persistence, and most of all, time. This is very evident in the fight for gender equality in soviet Russia. The patriarch was the societal norm and was never really questioned, that is until women realized their potential and qualification to be every bit as entitled as men. Tsarist Russia did not address the issue with a solution; however, communism brought about new ideas and ultimately many solutions to achieve gender equality. Although the equality between men and women was not perfect, women had much more control over their lives while under Communist rule in Russia than in Tsarist Russia because they were given more opportunities in the workplace, more domestic rights, and more of a say in their political rights.

A social issue that continues to occur today is women fighting for gender inequality. Women have unequal rights from men at work, public affairs, in their homes, as well as many other places. I selected the black and white photograph because it conveys that in that specific moment women are protesting for equal rights, which symbolizes feminism. Furthermore, the photograph in color also incorporates with the social issue because it symbolizes that Beyoncé is a feminist and gives women empowerment and strength to continue to fight for their equal rights. I also chose this image because she posed for the photograph. Additionally, it is a recreation of Rosie the Riveter, which was an image used to promote feminism. The colored, and black and white photographs are compared and contrasted by texture, light, line, color, shape, balance, and depth of field, to incorporate with the social issue of women’s rights.

Many workplaces have their own equal opportunities policy. In it describes the steps the organization will take to respect the equality legislation and promote equality in the workplace. One example I will briefly talk about is gender equality. I believe gender discrimination is a big problem in the workplace. I will use my aunt as an example for this gender discrimination story. My aunt and other men co-worker use to hold the same position, yet the job title is different for one than for the other. Her co-worker gets paid more, or he qualifies to raises or promotions than my aunt use to. It is absurd to discriminate by the age, race, sex, religion, political, ethnic origin, or any other individual. According to the breast feeding website “employees or potential employees may face discrimination. Direct discrimination is where someone with a personal characteristic is treated unfairly because of that personal characteristic.” Not giving a female a promotion just because she is a female is sexisms or not giving a job to a pregnant woman or even a woman who breastfeeds.”

Gender equality is a subject that has seen much debate and interest in the turn of the century. Many women suffrage have fought for sameness treatment but it seems like they are yet able to achieve that. There are a lot of questions that comes in mind when equality is display and this scrapbook seems to question ways women were greeted years ago.. This scrapbook was produce at the time where women were advocating for women suffrage but it looks like they haven’t won it yet. Since one of the feather has the caption “all we want is the ballot”, this means women are seeking the chance to be part of politic. When it comes to Who the author is, it is most likely that is a female because the author uses “we”, which point out that she is speaking about herself and other women. although the scrapbook is portrait in a humour form, the hat represent the voice of women and raises questions that need answers.

In this assignment I will discuss the present day issues which surround gender equality and discrimination. I will explore matters from a managerial position and demonstrate the impacts through independent research, providing evidence which relates to modern day businesses. Although this subject is a contemporary it has been on going throughout history.

Today we still pay so much attention of the equality between women and men. It’s still a very hot topic around us in our today’s society. However, when we talk about it right now, we more care about if women and men have the same equal right. For example, if they enjoy the equal protection in the working environment, in terms of the working hours or of their salaries. From the official website of American Association of University Women (AAUW), “In 2014, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 79 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 21 percent”. Using the formula, pay gap=(men’s median earnings-women’s median earnings)/men’s median earnings .In 2014, median annual earnings in the Untied States women and men working full time, year round were $39,621 and $50,383, respectively. 2014 earnings ratio=$39,621/$50,383=79%. 2014 pay gap= (50,383-$39,621)/$50,383=21%. So the earnings differentials between men and women mean that there is a wage gap. The wage gap is a statistical indicator often used as an index of the status of women’s earnings relative to men’s.

Men think that they have the dominating factor but I do not think that this is true. In reality women do because men wouldn't be here without us woman. It is not equal that men make more money for doing the same job. It doesn't matter if we are woman or not. It doesn't mean that we need to be paid differently, because we are all equal. We should all be treated as equal. Men do not work any harder than woman do. Men are no better than woman. It doesn't mean that men should receive a higher pay because they are thought to be more dominate. , and Men and woman are equal. It doesn't matter who is the dominated sex or not. We should all be treated equally.

Equality between men and women, it is to point to men and women in marriage and family relations, enjoy the same rights, the burden equal obligations of equality between men and women has been for want of life, beautiful imagination of attitude to life, it turns out, however, from the ancient to the nearly, the phenomenon of inequality between men and women are always exist and never stable, as is known to all, women oppressed and gender inequality is a common phenomenon existing in the class society, different social division of labor pattern determines the men 's and women 's status in the social production and the function is different, also formed a set of men tying the low, high, male female, male master female from the value of the female and male better judgment system. When social development to the socialism, the present situation of the gender inequality still exists, in the context of the socialist market economy, different ownership and social division of labor is still there, still is inequity important factors including gender inequality, and the traditional social ideology of gender inequality also plays an important role, social system is not perfect, also make the inequality between men and women face a certain system and the system obstacle.

Urban families have no qualms sending their girls to school and more and more rural families are also sending their girls to schools. This changing social trend is reflected by the indicators. The girls to boys enrolment ratio in primary schools in 1990 was 0.56 but in 2005 was 0.86. 9 Similarly, the ratios for secondary schools in 1990 was 0.43 and rose to 0.82 in 2005.9 The ratio for tertiary level education in 1990 was 0.32 9 and in 2008 was 0.41.10 Ratio of literate women to men in the age group of 15 to 24, the second indicator, has also jumped from 0.48 in 1990 to 0.73 in 2005.9
