Gender Equality : Women And Women

There are hundreds and thousands of athletes all around the world but the main problem in the athlete world is gender inequality, women are not shown equal as men. They are discriminated in many ways such as pay, employment opportunities, value of women 's sport, media coverage etc. Despite the federal law passed called Title IX that “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." there is still gender inequality women are considered less than men. No matter what happens people will always have inequality against men and women because of the environment they live in and how they were raised. Women are

In any society, in effort to establish order, roles and jobs are assigned that its citizens are expected to undertake. Whether explicitly stated, or simply implied, these roles play a significant part in that society’s culture. However, the exact expectations of the people, particularly women, actually changes rather notably across various cultures. One need only look to a culture’s literature to find these changes. Examining most early eastern literature, such as Greek classics Theseus or Oedipus Rex, the role of women would be almost non existent. In contrast the role of women grows more significant through novels such as Pride & Prejudice and even lends itself to a invaluable position in other literature and cultures.

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.

Throughout history women have fought to be treated equivalent to men. In today’s society, although there are still improvements to be made, it is easy to see that the female population has made a significant step towards equality and independence. Looking back about one hundred years ago, gender roles were still very specific and consisted of the man working and supporting the family, and the woman taking care of the home and the family. Women had very little voice in that time and were often treated with little respect due to the cultural norm that men were superior. Two historically influential plays that were written during the birth of feminism

The collective opinion of a ‘perfect society’ varies according to each individual, but the same general concepts usually remain quite similar: incredibly advanced technology, lush landscapes in hundreds of different shades of green, with copious amounts of peace and tranquility. Gender equality, however, is something that seems to be left out of the typical picture of the ‘perfect society’. It is ironic that in the nation where ‘all men are created equal’, there are so many restricting gender roles woven intricately into society, and from those restrictions come discriminations based solely on the gender of another human being. Gender roles have been suffocating seven billion people since the beginnings of social standards and norms, and in order to create the ‘perfect society’ that is imagined by authors and dreamers all over the planet, the idea of missed opportunities because of gender stigmatization and neat societal groups needs to be eradicated, and for good.

There has always been a so-called “Battle of the Sexes.” Humans have existed in a gender binary system with specific roles allotted to men and women for much of history, and its reach affects almost all aspects of our lives. Even in present-day 2014, in an era when it is becoming widely accepted that we are not limited by the roles that our predecessors were pressed into, the ramifications of this binary system are still limiting us. For this project my group members and I, as seven women each pursuing different careers and degrees, wanted to explore the gender disparity that exists in the workplace, and how each of our careers are likely to be affected by this problem. We found that across the board, working women are likely to earn only about 78% of their male peers’ salaries. (The Simple Truth) However, we also found that numerous fields such as psychology and pharmacy are seen as gendered towards women, and that in these careers the wage gap is significantly smaller, while the wage gap in fields that are male-dominated, like chemistry and engineering, is much greater. My own major and future career in chemistry is one of these male-dominated fields, so I spent my time researching trends that describe women in chemistry to better understand any gender disparity that I may face as a member of the workforce.

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.

Even if we were to look outside of the workforce spectrum, women are treated unequally on the basis of property. Even though women have equal right to own and receive land, it is not a practiced in the culture of India. When looking at the society as a whole only men are ever seen and given the rights of land so they can carry on their family name. Majority of the inequality does not have to do with laws or policies but what has been engraved into the society. Till now many of the people in India are still raised with that same mentality that men have a higher authority than women do. For this reason alone the Indian society is to blame for the inequality that occurs to women. However like Mirchandani points out an author by the name of Carla Freeman whom shares her notes “...that women’s jobs are both a source of pride and pleasure, and simultaneously a source of stress and dissatisfaction.” Also ends up pointing out “working women reassess and remake their identities and communities in important ways for social life.” Even though sometimes these identities are not linked with good outcomes but getting past that they lean towards making the status of the family very positive.

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.

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 inequality is the preference or favoritism against an individual completely or even halfway because of their gender. This belief system begins from the socially built traditions as to who belongs where in the family and workforce since the old days. Now as possible as it is that people of all genders are vulnerable to it, in the present society, it is evident that a man is preferred over a woman to take lead or handle the situation with poise, strength, and vigor. It can be seen almost every situation where men are treated as the main or head within a group of people and women are slighted over almost unwittingly. This unequal treatment can be seen in different social conditions and places like learning establishments, colleges, holy places, workspaces, recreations, and occasions to give some examples.

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.

The law also prohibits retaliation against an individual who, in good faith, asserts his or her rights under Title IX or other applicable federal laws and state laws prohibiting illegal discrimination. Title IX was established around discrimination based on gender in 1972, and promotes equality between men and women in education. Congress developed Title IX in order to spark the act of going against sexual discrimination at academic institutes that were federally funded to promote the participation of women in school sports and to create more programs for student athletes that are female. It is the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in schools that receive federal funding. The law is not only directed towards education, but also towards athletics. Women’s encounter with discrimination based on sex, during participation in sports, created the idea of the passage of Title IX, which was successful at promoting equality for women through having less discrimination against women, providing more opportunities for women in sports, and creating equal treatment in athletics.

For almost three decades Afghanistan has been the setting of ruthless wars. The Soviet occupation and the Taliban takeover has not only gridlocked country socially, it has also caused it to regress. Prior to the occupation of these treacherous groups, Afghanistan had a relatively liberal outlook, with a hopeful progression of women’s rights. More specifically; “Afghan women made up 50% of government workers, 70% of school teachers, and 40% of doctors in Kabul.” In recent years the public life of women has been completely effaced due to the effects of war and the Taliban regime. They are isolated, confined to their homes and masked with an all-encompassing burqa; prisoners in a country they call their “home”. In the country one calls
