Gender Equality in Sk

Just like many things in the United States, gender inequality has gotten a little out of hand. Gloria Steinem is a known feminist who grew up loving Wonder Woman and feels like there should be more female heroes. Throughout her essay she explains her arguments by manipulating the rhetoric situation and presenting solid claims. Gloria Steinem is not the only talented writer who is demanding to be heard. Maura Reilly gives insight to gender inequality in another entertainment source.

Education is taken earnestly in primarily all countries throughout the world including America, but even more so in South Korea. While high school is considered to be one of the best times of your life in America, it is not the same for Koreans. In America, sports,

Sexism, from the lack of women creators to the hypersexualized characters, is an enormous problem facing the comic book industry today. It is the 21st century, and the comic book industry is still a male-dominated industry. Thankfully, there are fewer distress damsels and more leading ladies, but I remain unsatisfied and believe that we need more. With female versions of superheroes doing better than their male counterparts, it will continue getting better. This world absolutely can not become better, until all aspects of life ceases the discrimination against

Debates range from the role of women in society to how they are judged. Some believe women should to have kids and quit working when they do. Women can be judged more harshly for voicing their opinions than they do men. Some view women as secondary to their husbands, even if she is the primary breadwinner. Women can be perceived as naturally weaker than their male coworkers, expected to have good ‘soft skills’, and judged more on their looks than men. Even though most these stereotypes have mostly dissipated over the past few years, they still exist in many places. Today, women in the United States are becoming more powerful in many areas, especially the workforce, but it is debatable that equality has been reached.

Women’s Occupational Inequality: What is the solution? In Julie O’Reilly’s article, The Wonder Woman Precedent: Female (Super) Heroism on Trial, the assertion is while there are female superheroes they aren’t quite equal to male superheroes. Wonder Woman can hold her own in a fight and has great power but the author contends that Wonder Woman’s power comes with, “…limited agency: Superman’s is one of assumed autonomy” (O’Reilly 444).

Who doesn’t love a good superhero? The perfect figure, the spandex suit, the flowing cape, flawless looks, and the powers we can only dream of having. Superheroes have been around for ages now, leaving an everlasting imprint on our hearts. It is no secret that males dominate the superhero industry; both the heroes themselves and those who create them. Superman, Batman, Ironman, and Spiderman have become the top heroes of all time; there is nothing wrong with them holding the spotlight, but female heroes are underrepresented. There are notable female heroes, but they tend to be drawn with a busty figure that few women are naturally blessed with, and show little emotional rational in fights. Take Black Widow (Marvel) for example, anyone would love for her figure and kick-ass moves. Wonder Woman is our hero of the hour, she has made her way onto the big screen; casting her into the spotlight more than ever. She screams fights for love, promotes peace, is a beacon of hope, and screams feminism. What’s not to love? The new movie released on June 2, 2017, has called more attention to the American-spirited, Amazonian woman than ever before. The movie is the first fully female directed movie, Patty Jenkins brings a great female to the big screen. Although the movie is great and supports feminism, is the movie the depiction of Wonder Woman that should be idealized?

People look at a harder more difficult job and say “ Oh, that looks like a job for a man” just because it takes more labor. Women are stronger than they appear. Just because women do not have as much testosterone as men do, does not mean that a women can not do the same job as a man. Women are strong and intelligent. Women often get overlooked because they are looked at as weak, frail, or delicate. Women have recently uncovered a new found strength that they have never known before. Now in the 2000’s women now work beside men at what was used to be known as a “ man's job” and do construction work, mechanical engineering, surgines, and much more. “But that strength must come with integrity. If it doesn’t, he is a strong bad man. And while more than a few women fall for bad men (precisely because of the power of masculine strength to attract women), most women do not want such a man over the long

Since females have felt mistreated and discriminated against men for decades.. Throughout these times, women have been struggling to be equal to men, both at home and in the workplace. Women have come a long way and are certainly fighting to gain that equality, but, yet gender roles are still playing an important role in our society. People view men as being always the “working man” and “strong” and women asto being the “stay at home” parent and being “weak.””. In today's society, American women are still fighting for equality because they believe that they get treated unfairly and want the same things as men.

For example, Hillary Clinton was the first female presidential nominee and Carla Hayden was the first female to serve as librarian of congress. These notable women empower others in society because of their intelligence and hard work. Yet, there are still conflicting attitudes toward women. On one hand, women are glorified as wives and mothers. On the other hand, there is an underlying distrust of female sexuality and independence. This has led to the traditional subordination of women to secondary status as desirable women with a lesser value to crime fighting. This continues in superhero films today, making this sexism very influential in our

For over 75 years, she has been the most successful female superhero and she has been through it all. Wonder Woman has seen the positive and negative side of sexism when it comes to the comic book world because DC Comics and Warner Brothers Studios have had a hard time representing her in the right way. Wonder Woman was created to shield the innocent and represent America’s Position during the war (Dockterman 101). Wonder Woman’s creator William Moulton Marston was a feminist who wanted to create a hero that was parent-friendly and stand with the rest of the heroes, but after his death Wonder Woman started to conform to society’s ideas of how woman should be.

There has been a strong sense of gender roles in our society where behavioral norms are set for each gender. As a Korean, I grew up with Confucian ideas which explain specific gender roles. In my family, my father showed what men should be like, and my mother was the person who did all the house works. I had a strong notion of women do the house work and that men should work for livings. Men should not cry, men should be responsible for what one has said, and men have to be strong. These ideas of gender norms influenced how I behaved in my entire life.

The economic arguments for gender equality are overwhelming - but stereotypes keep getting in the way of progress. There are many reasons women are being held back from being seen as an equal to men. Women are generally perceived as more “communal”:and “loyal”, whereas men are described more as “protectors” and “competent”.  For generations people believed what women should be, how they should behave and what they represent and that reinforces unconscious and unseen biases of who a women is.

Unfortunately women are treated unfairly. For example, birth control became a big issue with women not able to attain them. Many people have been “powerfully influenced by the suffrage, feminism and birth control movements. And each of those movements had used chains as a centerpiece of its iconography” (Lepore pg 6) Many suffragist threatened to chain themselves to the gates barricading the White House. In addition women that didn’t get the right to vote marched in chains. This all ties into to the makeup and creation of Wonder Woman. A woman that goes by the name Sanger created a book with a bunch of letters from different women asking for information about birth control. “When Marston created Wonder Woman, in 1941, he drew on Sanger’s legacy and inspiration” (Lepore pg 7) Wonder Woman represented all women in that time era. What they went through and how they fought and strived to get through it. They conquered all the obstacles set in their path like champions. Women are like superheroes just like Wonder

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.

South Korea’s social structure revolves around the individual’s professional, family, and education background. People who have attained prestigious job titles, graduated from a first-rate university, or was born into an influential family are placed very high on the social structure. People who do not have a respectable education background are usually on the bottom of the status pole; however, it is possible for social mobility. The South Korean education system is similar to the one in the United States. Even though the years of attendance might be dissimilar from the US, the education system still consists of an elementary, middle, and high school. After graduating from high school, most students apply and attend universities from all across the nation.
