Gender Discrimination And Defame Of Female Identity

Have you or anyone close to you ever been discriminated before? Multiple types of gender discrimination has always been an issue and it’s time for it all to come to an end. Gender discrimination is discrimination that is based on someone’s gender or sex. Many people have faced it in different ways. I am researching the harm that is caused to different genders, the way women don’t get paid the same as men, and how LGBT people are discriminated in the workplace.

Gender bias, also known as sexism, is a full of attitudes, laws, taboos, preferences, and behaviors that differentiates and discriminates against either sex. These may be a position of which male dominance and female subjugation in the modern society. It could also be a form of sexual stereotypes between men and women, these are commonly experienced in employment versus other positions. A final place that discrimination is faced is the academic environment, the female to male ratios are not in sync in certain programs and courses because of this and it is pressuring men and women to not go into certain fields and do what they love and please. Most advertisements on Television, magazines, newspapers, online ad’s, use a charged sexually image with a female as the star. Women are to be a pleasure for men, and nothing else. Many people have different opinions on genders and sexuality and that is okay, but sometimes you just need to keep them to yourselves.

Can travelling be merely a change in motion and place? While moving around to other places does open up new discoveries, it is also able to open people’s hearts and minds to change. In My Life on the Road (2015), Gloria Steinem writes about how travelling on the road from childhood to the present day has impacted her lifelong career. Huck Finn’s perspective on society changes as Mark Twain’s novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), progresses. Although in one instance the character goes from a sedentary life to one of constant movement, and the other from a life of movement to one that is temporarily sedentary, the change in motion and maturity prompts major changes for both Huck and Gloria. While the authors did write their

There are tremendous changes over the past quarter of a century in female life around the world. The rate of educated female has increased a lot, which is more than that at any time in history. Also, in a third of the developing countries, the number of girls is more than boys in school. And female rate in wok is 40 percent of the global. However, before changing, many female’s life was different. Male’s rights and power oppressed female’s. It is especially shown in many developing countries, such as Mexico.

The modern era of globalization and technology changed the world’s perceptional history way forward than many can expect, yet in this modern era where everyone is considered as equal there are major number of incidents where discrimination with respect to gender. This issue of Gender Discrimination is no more to be ignored (nor) to be bear silence as it is now an Ethical Problem.

Sexism is the prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination on the basis of sex. Sexism is regarded mostly towards women. Sexism affects everyone but not effecting everyone evenly. For women, they suffer from sexism socially, educational, political, religious, social, etc. The idea of sexism is that the men have more power than the women. Women get judged differently than men do. Women get judged in the workplace which limits them to certain jobs. The stereotypes that women are under are unbelievable. Some stereotypes like women are bad drivers, women are bad at leadership, and that all women are good at cooking. I believe that sexism causes a break in our society that divides the two sexes apart from each other. Throughout St. John’s Prep, sexism is present with the female teachers. The workplace for women differs greatly from men. The Catholic Social teaching theme of community stands out most dominantly in the topic of sexism. Sexism effects women everyday in their life. They encounter obstacles that men don’t ever have to worry about. Throughout the idea of sexism, one must remember that the Catholic Social theme of community goes a long way in understanding that we are all equal in one body.

Steve Coles recently filed a lawsuit against the Custer County School District for gender discrimination. Steve recently applied for a job opening at Custer County School District for a 5th grade teaching position. Mr. Coles was not given the teaching position at the school even though he has over ten years of teaching experience and has earned several advanced teaching certifications. Mr. Coles believes this school district is inherently biased against males and has a disproportional hiring of female applicants. He also believes the hiring process is not accurate as he states it involves very few formal evaluations and a huge impact is the connection with other teachers within the district.

One of article of “ Psychology Today” in 2016 were come to social problem on racism, sexism and discrimination. In the article, the good news is that we can make great progress in minimizing these undesirable qualities in people. The bad news is that we may cause unnecessary friction and misunderstanding. For example of bad influence, play a word test for a moment. There is one guy said: “ Whites, Blacks, Latinos”. First thing that comes to your mind maybe is rich, poor and uneducated.

Gender discrimination in the workplace is a recurring issue in businesses today. Employees are given the right by their employers to be protected from discrimination and inequality in the workplace. In just about every business setting today, men and women work together in the same fields, jobs, and projects. However, it has only been up until (relatively) recently that men and women have been in competition for the same jobs. With the predetermined assumptions of the different roles between both men and women, there can be the tendency to see bias in the workplace. Discrimination can occur in many ways and impact anyone within that organization.

In recent years, the issue of gender equality in the workplace and equal pay has been under serious debate. Although there has been significant improvement since when women were first able to work and equal opportunity laws were created, there is still some room for more improvement. The federal government has made laws over the years such as The Civil Rights act, Equal Pay Act and Family and Medical Leave act, in an attempt to put an end to gender discrimination and although it is working to some extent in lower-management positions, those laws seem to have little effect on the upper-level managerial positions. Recent questions have come up about whether the federal laws are helping enough with the gender wage gap and women representation, along with questions where or not gender discrimination is the reason why women are getting paid less or if there are other underlying factors to consider.

The treatment of women compared to that of men in the Middle East is presumed to have an extreme disparity due to the portrayal of the country through the media. Although this holds as being partly true, as seen in the two films and the novel, the lives of women who lived in this region are inherently different than formerly perceived. The three pieces, similarly, depicted the women as being strong characters who fought, albeit small, internal as well as external battles to overcome the hurdles and restrictions that were placed on them. Furthermore, the three pieces, similarly, described the gender relations between the men and women as predominantly male domination. But, the novel Girls of Riyadh, as well as the film A Separation portrayed a variation, in which the women were seen with slightly more importance than their counterparts. Apart from the similarities that the two films and the novel shared, there were also some differences that were representative of the diversity of how women lived and the kind of relationships they had with their male counterparts. These main differences were due mainly because of the wealth, social standing, and how adherent the men that these women had relationships with were to society’s expectations.

The issue of gender identification is a pressing topic that almost everyone has input on, some more aggressively than others. We find ourselves in a place where we have to decide to classify people as what they say they are or what the government says they are. In a time such as this, we strive to be as progressive as possible, but it is harder and harder to move forward when the chains of the past hold us back, social injust is running rampant due to the lack of laws that would protect genderqueer individuals from workplace discrimination. “As the national debate escalates over accommodations for transgender people, the new figure, though still just 0.6 percent of the adult population” (Hoffman). Genderqueer individuals are still a minority that needs legal protection, which is why it is as important as ever to create a law that would add gender identity to anti-discrimination laws as well as more genders on legal documents to promote individuality and personality.

Prior to the 1970’s women faced gender discrimination in politics in regards to plausibility about political obligation that falls along the lines of gender. Various gender representation within a representative democracy were consistent of male supremacy. Women were denied full citizenship rights such as the right to vote. Women fought for their suffrage in order to gain the right to vote and be entitled social, civil, and moral rights for themselves. Despite the increasing presence of women in American Politics, gender stereotypes still existed. In 1972, Congress passed Title IX in order to end sex-based discrimination in higher education. Although, the act never explicitly states athletics, the act did become recognized frequently in the case of athletics in higher education. In addition to athletics, Title IX extends to prohibiting gender bias in education and the workplace. Even though, there are gains in gender equality with the passage of Title IX, stereotypical bias infiltrate prejudices that frame the full potential of Title IX.

The Sex Discrimination Act is in power to help woman in a number of ways

Gender discrimination against women is out of control across the world and seeps into many aspects of women 's lives. This discrimination harms women in two ways. First, women directly experience stressful events. The experience of sexism is so common that some research suggests women can experience one to two instances of everyday sexism. But women aren 't only harmed by sexism through the physical stress caused by others. They are harmed to the extent that they internalize and adopt these sexist attitudes that can manifest as poor self-concept. This negative self-concept often obvious on a subconscious level, as women and men will demonstrate automatic negative biases against women (Ferguson, 2013).
