Men And Women Experience Many Types Of Discrimination Throughout

Gender has an impact on individual behavior in the workforce. In the past men has been the sole source of money in the household. More and more women are entering the workforce and becoming high-ranking individuals in powerful companies. There are still those women who feel they have to work twice as hard as a man to make a difference in the workforce. These women feels as though if a woman does something wrong, everyone talks about it. If a man does something wrong, they are simply learning by mistakes. Of course there are positive and negative impacts on individual behavior. There are women who are discriminated against and expected to do more than a man to get things accomplished, however there are also women who are accepted for putting family first and completing tasks without criticism. There are some women who use their gender maliciously to get what they want and complain about sexual harassment or gender bias.

Women have experienced discrimination since the beginning of time and in some countries women still do not have certain rights. In America, companies still tend to discriminate against women. The discrimination can be shown in different forms such as unequal opportunities to be hired, unequal pay, making it harder for women to get a promotion, women getting scrutinized more harshly than men, and even basing all these other aspects on the fact that women can get pregnant or already have children. Women also may face the “glass ceiling” in the workplace. These continuous discriminations are a leading factor as to why women do not reach for their full potential or believe they cannot speak up.

1. Even though America has come a long way in equality, the race for job equality is not fulfilled quite yet. 2Accoring to Neil Kokemuller, an active business man, men accurately make 77 cents more to the dollar than women who have the exact same job. (2016) 3. “The average American man makes 70-80% more money, doing the exact same jobs as the American woman.”(regender.org 2015) 4. This incredible jump in pay also influences the idea that the majority of women in America are living in poverty. 5According to Stephanie Cholensky, “The United states currently ranks 65th in pay equality.”(Cholensky, 2015) 6 Women who work just as hard as men but do not get payed the amount is a prime example of gender discrimination. 7Maybe women wouldn’t be so

Isms in society have a way of dividing the country down many different lines of identity; for example, ethnicity, age, weight, and religious preference are aspects that compose an individual that are often discriminated against. With recent events, the issue of sexism was made apparent to Americans. Sexism is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as, “prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially :discrimination against women” (Sexism).

Ratified into law in 1920, the 19th amendment guaranteed that women now had the right to to vote in elections. This began a long journey for women to treated and recognized as equal to men. That journey is far from over. Sexism is the unfair treatment of a person or people based solely on their gender and is mostly seen against women. In the United States, it is generally believed that as a nation, equality is a fundamental right and is given freely to all who live here. People are treated fairly. Unfortunately, that is not necessarily true. Although many believe that all genders have equal rights, sexism is a major problem because of sexism against males and females, violence against LGB, and discrimination against transgenders.

Gender based discrimination has been present in our society for ages and has heavily impacted many aspects of peoples lives. Although many gender inequalities have gone unresolved, some situations have come a long way and have almost ended in the United States. For example, access to education has improved greatly because it used to be expected that girls would stay home with their mothers and learn how to do the household activities and watch after their siblings. Boys on the other hand, would attend school to get an education in addition to doing labor work. Back in the day, girls were unable to get an education because it was more valuable if they were working in the household opposed to the value an education could provide because that

Ironically, teachers and parents have always told children you can achieve your goal if you put the effort in. Well in today's day and age your gender can be the biggest impact on the job you get or career choice you chose. Jobs affected by this can be even a minimum wage pay job like preparing food or serving food, to the military and being a Doctor. Discrimination can affect our everyday lives.

Retailers like Wal-Mart, Kroger, Target, Home Depot, and any store located in a mall, make up a large portion of jobs in the United States. At Target there is no college degree needed for team member status or even in the next level up, the team leader positions. If a possible team member is still in high school or college that can be worked around for certain work centers. Being an equal opportunity employer means there are team members of any age and all backgrounds. Sexism and discrimination among coworkers is not an everyday occurrence but there is a greater chance among a larger store. Women have fought for their right to vote, have a voice, and have equal rights as men. While the fight for equality in the workplace has come a long way, it is still lacking. Women are constantly facing sexism in the workplace from men and fellow women. The challenges faced commonly in the workplace are stereotypes, sexism, and challenging gender scripts.

People are judged by their gender, which often, in many situations, lead to bias decisions and unfairness within business organizations for women. Women are often not held up to the standard of a man in the business workforce, which leaves them with fewer position choices outside the norm. Most jobs that women have are not demanding upon the body and require little to no strength. The failure to understand adaptation by the government has caused many reforms in the past, but there are still many flaws in the hiring system that often leave women asking questions and puzzled by the bias decisions of men in charge of the management of positions. The fight for equality amongst women has been going on for many years.

Women, today, have a lot more influence than in the past, particularly in the workplace. There have been enormous strides taken to ensure women are treated fairly and no longer discriminated against. While there are still many differences between men and women’s role in the

Gender stereotype in workplaces is an endless issue that one may experience. Women for example, has gone through great efforts in demonstrating the capabilities of what a female can do in workplaces. However, some up to now, experience significant disparities and negative criticisms on how they act and behave in workplaces. According to Madelaine E. Heilman, on the effects on how women behave:

The social discrimination that individuals face today was built on a foundation that men had created long ago. We are indeed very oblivious to the patriarchy and prejudice we are surrounded by because we are accustomed to what our parents and guardians believed in while growing up. Their ideologies are embedded into our brains thus leading us to unknowingly spread false information and make assumptions based off of those thoughts. A few examples would be the worldwide belief that men shouldn’t cry or that men should be the individual in control. On top of that, with these beliefs, many men refuse to report incidents like rape because they are afraid of what others may think.

When I go places with my friends, I cannot help but notice the obvious difference between my male friends and female friends. Men and women are very different; however, this does not mean that they should have separate roles in society. I believe the United States has done a nice job of providing equal opportunities so that women have a choice of what they want to do. But not all places have done as well. In Israel, women are badly discriminating by the gender roles assigned to them. Even though many people will tell you that this is due to their traditions and customs, I still believe there is too much discrimination against women. Recently, changes have been made to relive some of the discrimination on women, but more changes must be made.

According to Kristoff & Wudunn (2009), “women aged fifteen through forty-four are more likely to be maimed or die from male violence than from cancer, malaria, traffic accidents, and war combined” (pg. 61). Although people assume that acts of violence caused by men toward women are a sign of hatred, I disagree. I disagree because in many societies women commit crimes against other women. In Nicholas Kristoff book, “Half the Sky” he connotes that many acts of violence are not caused by hatred, but the perception that women are second class citizens in their communities and cultures. Due to the influence of communities and cultures, acts of violence escalate due to gender discrimination. Gender Discrimination is an international problem that affects many women worldwide but is particularly a problem in India.

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).
