1.T.Hall was singled out because he had both qualities of male and female. Because of this fact, he played the roles of female and male. This made people upset, because there was clear guidelines and social rules that must be in place for both genders.

Stratification theories are defined as theories which emphasize social forces, particularly those related to a person’s social stratum or social category. Stratification is society’s categorization of people which can be based off a variety of things such as race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status. These stratification theories limit individual choices and affect a person’s ability to function in late adulthood.
It goes without saying that throughout society there exists varying degrees of gender stratification. Although many have attempted to understand why this difference between the distribution of property, power and prestige exists amongst genders, the answer is still somewhat ambiguous. Although the United States isn’t a perfect example of equality amongst genders, compared to a majority of nations across the globe, its conditions for both genders are relatively similar. One country notorious for its massive discrepancy in terms of access to property, power and prestige between genders is Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia and a number of Middle Eastern countries, there exists a great deal of gender stratification. According to the 2008 Human Rights

Women and men are disproportionate in every possible way in never-ending circumstances, both instant and durable, by both idea criteria and prejudiced experience. Therefore, what tally as gender difference in family life, education, workplace and politics?

Lorde, writer of “Age, Race, Class and Sex: Women Redefining Difference,” gives a firsthand insight on what it means to be a 49-year old, African American, middle class, lesbian woman. She describes how these identities, which she is absolutely proud of, work together as forces of “oppression” in order to create a systematic set of experiences that disempower her and empowers others. In fact, she focuses a lot on those who are empowered by the oppressions others experience. Lorde describes that “[i]n america, this norm is usually defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and financial¬ly secure” (Lorde 285). Even though this approach is definitely related to intersectionality, the author does not explicitly state the term.
Gender in the 1900’s was a particular subject that nobody touched upon. The women of that time period questioned it, what is this gender issue? These women at the time did not have the language to identify in equality. Though they very well knew it was going on. In the later 1950’s and 60’s they called it “The Problem that has no name”. This “problem” would prove to certainly be a revolutionary event in history. Gender in the 1900’s denied the Women who were apart of the suffrage movement from being a full fledged member of society and a citizen of the United States.
Starting from the bottom, the population pyramid shows that there is a large population of kids under the age of 15 in this area code. Population drops at ages 15 to 19 and continues to drop at ages 20 to 24. There is a big increase in population in ages 25 to 29, where the pyramid seems to poke out the greatest compared to the ages above and below it. There is a big bulge around ages 45 to 59 and the population slowly decreases after that.
Even though men want women to still depend on them, the 1920's were the time of change for women. Throughout the past 100 years, men were the breadwinner of the family. While the men were working, women stayed home to clean, make sure the kids was ready for school/ activities, and cooked meals. Over time, women began to start independent. Women decided to go after their education, working for themselves, and even changed their style.(Thesis

Equal opportunity, equal pay and more equal sharing of family responsibilities are all necessary to close a gap which results in too many women struggling to put enough aside to fund a comfortable retirement.
Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.
Throughout history, gender inequality has shown to be an issue across the globe, especially in the workplace. Men have always had a greater and more powerful presence in careers of all kinds. Today, in the sports marketing industry, this proves to be true as women constantly battle to make advances within their companies and outshine their male colleagues. The purpose of this paper is to explore the issue of the “gender gap” in the business world, specifically sports marketing for the National Football League and how this issue may be solved: by presenting a sense of self-confidence in professional women.
We have all heard about the gender wage gap on the news or in the current debates, but why is it any concern to you? I understand that this issue might not apply to a college student; however, you need to be aware of this issue since it could affect your major and future profession. Surprisingly, this issue even applies to males. Some argue that women are facing a wage gap because they choose more flexible professions, lack negotiation skills, and produce less as many hours as men mostly because they are assumed to devote more time to children. I disagree, because women should have the right to earn same amount of money as a man regardless of their personality,
Throughout the 20th century, roles of women have changed considerably. Many women saw their role in life as homemakers and mothers while others wanted to change that view and expand those roles. They first worked mainly as domestics, labourers, seamstresses and teachers (UFCW Canada), who followed the directions of men and were not allowed to make decisions. Events throughout the 20th century allowed women to achieve so much more and move towards gender equality. During the beginning of the century women played a role in WW1, contributing to the war effort. A group of women called Alberta’s “Famous Five” helped change the definition of “person” to include women. Again, women were recruited in WW2, encouraged to contribute to the war
War is inevitable because of opposing views and conflicting opinions. During these hard times, women, although rarely recognized, played a big part in the success of our country. They made their mark during World War Two when they took over the jobs of men and proved they are just as efficient in the workplace. There has been a dramatic change since then. Women have found their identity through these hardships; which in return, has set the pace for the years to come and narrowed the gap of the social norm of women in the work place.
