Gender Equality

Living in peace needs equality of men and women because humans don’t fight if all humans have equality. Everyone has a chance to get peace and happiness, but some people cannot because of custom. For example, in the past, women had to work for men, and there was a gender discrimination. From 19th to early 20th century, women fought against women’s issues such as education, economic, violence, and abortion because women’s position is very low and weak, so they couldn’t have decision rights. However, the society became better as the years went by. The comparison between past and present history shows the current situation of gender issues in the workplace and in education, and results shows how gender equality is important for peace.

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.

Women of all race, age, ethics, and careers will always be in need of protection from Title IX. Hopefully we won't need a law for equality in the future. I really think women are coming up so much in the world though. Women are making differences everyday. New life opportunities are possible thanks to Title IX. Try and take a moment to imagine being a women before Title IX was thought of! We would still be considered just people to cook, clean and care for kids. Nothing more than that. Nothing more than just a person under Men's control. We can not be controlled by Men anymore. We Women can accomplish so much more than that, given the privileges from Title IX.

“a system of meanings, of ways of thinking, images and words that first shape how we experience, understand, and represent ourselves as men and women, but that also do more than that; they shape many other aspects of our lives and culture” (Cohn 1993, pg. 228).

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.

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.

In module 3, I would like to focus on three main readings that thought me a lot about how people are affected by different situations depending on their race, gender or sexuality. The first reading is “The Problem That has No Name”, it was very surprising to me to read about how women decided to give up everything to become good wives. The next reading is called “Why Gender Equality Stalled”, this article made by The New York Times magazine demonstrate how the people in the United States changed their opinion about the roles of women and men inside the household, but can not do much because of the limited options jobs offer. The last reading is “Dangerous intersections”, in this reading I learned that when gender is linked to race it become harder for that person to get the support it needs. These readings are very interesting to me because even though they are not addressing the same problem, they all are interconnected by the same reason: women’s struggle to reach equality within society.

Occupational segregation and gender equality within the workforce has been extensively debated over recent decades. Gender equality within the workforce is achieved when all individuals have access and receive equal benefits, resources and opportunities regardless of their gender (WGA, 2017). This requires workplaces to; distribute equal paid work or work of comparative value, eliminate barriers that restrict full or equal employment for women, provide women with access to all industries and occupations, allow women the opportunity to hold leadership roles and eliminate gender discrimination, especially regarding care responsibilities (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017). In doing so, these features enable women to uphold the flexibility and work opportunities that their male-counterparts enjoy. Attaining gender equality is important as it provides a foundation for society to function at its full human potential and become the most efficient and resourceful nation possible (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017). The purpose of this essay is to analyse whether the recent increase of women entering the workforce correlates to gender inequality within the workforce. The first section of this paper will provide an understanding that despite increasing levels of women’s participation in the workforce, women continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles such as CEOs. This will further be examined through an analysis of the gender pay gap and the repercussions this

Do you know how it feels to have a strong determination to pursue your life goal, but you also have to deal with the laborious consequences such as gender equality? According to Zig Ziglar, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals”. A girl named Hope Jahren lived in a poor place where women and men were not treated equally. Many people argued on how women couldn't be things like men such as a doctor, engineer, or scientist, for instance eSTEM school has more men than women because it's an engineering school, traditionally girls are not encouraged to work as an engineer they mostly focus on language arts and performance. No woman should be underestimated of what they can do. The book Lab Girl shows that Hope Jahren story is based on equality. Hope wants to show people that men and women should be treated equally and disproves stereotypes by succeeding without money, overcoming bias hardships and completing labs that are usually done by men. She is like any ordinary teen with big hopes, Will she succeed in proving people by having her dream come true?

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.

For centuries issue of gender equality continues to be predominant in today’s society due to the prolonged gap between male and female opportunities. I personally believe gender is major equality right that all human being is entitled to despite their background such as ethnicity, race, religion, and sexuality. In all cases, women and men are equal because they both play an important role in society. Many people believe that feminism is the belief that women should share the same equal amount of rights as men. Stereotypically, women play a domestic role in a relationship. On the other hand, men are out in the working world making money. However, gender roles in society are constantly changing. Change constantly occurs because women no longer want to be dependent on men for their basic needs. Also, the biggest influence against women equal rights is the media. The media portrays females as dependent and uneducated. Despite it all, as time goes by females are more acknowledge.

Gender inequality has been a major problem in the United States for many years. Even though laws have been passed and women have fought for the rights they own today, it has still been a big issue. Gender inequality is everywhere. For example, we see this in presidential elections, businesses, schools, and even in sports. Over the years women have been able to create changes and more women have been able to become dentist, lawyers, physicians, and many more. Women are capable of being able to do things that men can do. Obviously, women won’t be able to do it exactly like men, but they can still do it to a certain extent. Today, we still see it happen in many situations even if something we don’t realize it is happening.

One of the newer issues that are facing schools today is accommodating transgender students. The Title IX, Education Amendments of 1972 states: “Prohibition against discrimination; exceptions. No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…” This is talking about gender equality in schools. This means that a school cannot treat transgender students differently than other students of the same gender identity. If you were born as a female but identify as a male then you must treated the same as a male student. You must allow equal access to education, programs, and activities for all students including transgender students.

Gender equality refers to sexual equality that men and women should receive equal treatment as well as equal pay in the work place. Nor should they be discriminated against based on their gender. It can also be referred to as equality of the genders. It basically seeks to create equality in law and in social situations. Gender equality is also working to be present in political activities and securing equal pay in the work place. Gender inequality has gotten a lot better over the years and continues to be making progress towards becoming completely equal.
