Throughout history, women have been regarded as of lesser value than men particularly in the public sphere. This is the result of gender stratification. Gender stratification refers to the issue of sexism, “or the belief that one sex is superior to the other” (Carl et al., 2012, p. 78). The theory that men are superior to women is essential to sexism. Sexism has always had negative consequences for women. It has caused some women to avoid pursuing successful careers typically described as “masculine”—perhaps to avoid the social impression that they are less desirable as spouses or mothers, or even less “feminine.”

Gender derives its formative meaning from culture and societal values, it is not a universal entity as there are various cultures, societal values, beliefs, and preferred ways of organizing collective life across the globe and even within a single culture the meaning of gender varies over time. Chapters three and four of Gendered Lives by Julia T. Wood helps to insightfully look at those views, and rhetorical movements (women and men’s movements) that have overtime influenced, defined and given various meanings to gender (masculinity and femininity).

"You're such a girl!" is something we hear quite often. But we don't exactly analyze its importance. Every man or women act and behave differently, and that is because of gender roles, "instructions for how to behave and appear as a woman or man (Wade and Ferree 2015; 61). We all "do gender", the ways in which we actively obey and break the gender rules of our society." (Wade and Ferree 2015; 61). We don't always obey these rules and regulation, we're all humans, and we all make mistakes, but it's other peoples reaction what's most interesting about breaking them. Once we break these rules, there is something known as gender policing, "responses to the violations of gender rules aimed at promoting conformity. (Wade and Ferree 2015; 71).

“Hispanics in general have a strong work ethic and are willing to work hard and long to provide for their families” (Allison & Bencomo, 2015. p.58). Therefore, encouraging traditional morals and teaching children about the history of the culture is of great importance in Hispanic families (Allison & Bencomo, 2015. p.59). “Spanish is the primary language spoken in Hispanic immigrant families” (Allison & Bencomo, 2015. p. 59); however, English speaking family members will help with translation and communication when

Our gender has an effect on every aspect of our lives, varying from how we view ourselves and other people to how we interact in social and civic life. It also impacts the way we set our goals in opportunity areas such as education, work, and recreation. Gender socialization starts at birth then manifests through family, education, peer groups, and mass media. Gender norms are automatically placed on us, where women should learn how to be nurturing, sensitive, emotional, passive, and always hold a man’s position higher than hers. On the other hand men should be overly confident, aggressive, dominant, and view women beneath them. This paper uses various readings to show how these gender norms are supported and challenged in today’s society.

Economically speaking, immigration is beneficial for the American economy. Several arguments are given to try to prove this wrong. Some may say that immigrants take away jobs from Americans. But what jobs? Most immigrants work as maids or janitors, jobs that Americans do not want to do. What would the U.S. do without immigrants who are willing to do humiliating jobs for scarce amounts of money? Or maybe these critics of immigration are talking about the few amount of immigrants who want to excel and become successful? The anti-immigration people feel threatened and fear that these “minorities” will surpass the “native” Americans and they will no longer be able to control and manipulate these “ignorant, gullible immigrants.” Another argument is that immigrants receive more than their fair share of welfare benefits. But yet again in actuality immigrants pay their fair share of taxes. Julian

In pre-ap english, I interviewed Jacquelyn who is a freshman at Macarthur High School in Lawton, Oklahoma. In our society, we are often subjected to gender roles. Gender roles is the act of assigning certain emotions or behaviors to men or woman. In response to finding out what gender roles actually are, Jacquelyn does not agree with the idea of them and states that people should “be able to do what they want.” Gender roles often prevent us from being the person we want to be. For example, if a guy were to wear makeup there are people who would judge him harshly and possibly even outcast him, simply because they believe women are the only ones who can wear makeup. Same thing goes for women, like if a girl wanted to play football many would

There are three sources that have been given, and I believe that there is only one source that would most likely be relevant to students researching the effects of current immigration policy on the lives of U.S citizens. The article, “The Immigration Debate/Effect on economy depends on Viewpoint” is the most relevant source for a student who is researching the effects of current immigration policy because it tells you how immigration affects the American society and how immigrants could help businesses in America becomes more successful. In the article, “ The Immigration Debate/Effect on economy depends on viewpoint,” Carolyn Said says “ Immigrants provide a ready source of relatively cheap

This article I chose is related to the Module 3 discussion topic, “Does immigration contribute to a better America”, taking the Yes side of the argument. It confirms point that Phillipe Legrain was making in his argument on how immigrants contribute to our economy by taking the low paying jobs that us Americans do not want to work. A statement in this article is that if we deport immigrants it would weaken us as a nation. The author also mentions how immigrants pay so many billions of dollars in taxes and without them we will sink basically economically. It all ties together on how immigrants make America better because sending them away would mean that there would be less taxes being paid, which is the way the economy is boosted. There also

Today the United States is the home to the largest immigrant population in the world. Even though immigrants assimilate faster in the United States than any other developed nations, immigration policy is still a highly controversial issue. The steady increase in the immigrant population in America enrages the natives who think the immigrants take away jobs opportunities, benefit from government benefits unfairly, increase crime and terrorism in the country, and do not integrate into mainstream social and political life which threatens to erase this country’s culture and distinctive character. However, economic theory predicts and academic research confirms immigration has a net positive effect on the natives and the overall economy.

Stephen Bonnycastle lists a set of traits or stereotypes in his work In Search for Authority, that are considered "feminine" and an opposing list that is considered "masculine"; these traits seem to be inevitably true to life (Bonnycastle 10,11). For example, one of the traits listed is emotional, women are expected to be emotional and when this is not the case a man is often confused and indifferent towards the woman. This is especially the case if she is not emotional she is viewed as not feminine. Any time a woman does not fit the idea of what society expects of her she is outcasted and frowned upon. This hatred runs even deeper if a woman crosses over into what is considered "masculine", a woman who shows any type of authority over a

Immigration has been a major uprising debate in the United States ever since immigrants immigrated from European countries in the late 1400s. It all started when Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492 by accident and took everything away from the Native Americans. Today more than one million people are coming into the United States from many different counties and for many different reasons. The main reason they are coming to the United States is for a better life, they come here chasing, “The American Dream” trying to escape the chaos of their countries such as crime, violence, and poverty. The United States is known for its opportunities therefor attracting millions of people to immigrate seeking a better future for themselves and their families. This country consists of millions of immigrants from all over the world which makes the Untied States a very diverse country and to some people diversity has a price and it comes with consequences. Critics argue that immigrants only have a negative impact upon this country. They claim immigrants are only taking away jobs and bringing crime from other foreign countries. Those who argue against immigration do not realize the importance of immigrants. Immigration is extremely beneficial to this country in multiple ways. Despite the negative impact argued, immigration has impacted the United States positively, mainly economically through its inexpensive labor, making the immigrant work force do all the hard work for a

Since the beginning of time, gender has played a big role in how one acts and how one is looked upon in society. From a young age children are taught to be either feminine or masculine. Why is it that gender plays a big role in the characteristics that one beholds? For centuries in many countries it has been installed in individual’s heads that they have to live by certain stereotypes. Women have been taught to be feeble to men and depend on them for social and economical happiness. While men have been taught to be mucho characters that have take care of their homes and be the superior individual to a woman. For the individuals who dare to be different and choose to form their own identity whether man or woman, they are out casted and

Are men and women groomed to fit in certain gender molds? Alice Munro’s ” Boys and Girls”, is a short story about a young girl whose view of herself and role in society, is warped by her experiences with her family and on her father’s farm. As she grows up, the unnamed narrator is troubled by the notion of what it means to be a girl, which is brought about by both internal and external influences. The people around her begin viewing her differently, she begins viewing everyone differently, but more importantly she begins viewing herself differently.
