Population Movements Between Anatolia And Balkans

In regards to employment, women today can do paid work, but their work is usually menial, badly paid and lacking in status (Krieken et al, 2000). Kate Millet (1970) saw women as a reserve labour force who are made use of when they are needed (for example in war time) but are discarded when not required (Krieken et al,

Lately, questions have arisen about the true meaning of work. Work has been a significance to humans since the time around the middle 1600’s. Although work began at this time, it evolved into something more powerful and advanced a couple more centuries later. During the late 18th century, the work force began to boom during the industrial period. The world was heavily influenced by the work field and managed to establish one’s sense of character. If one worked their determination and values were clearly sought out by others. The importance of work begins with women becoming involved, wanting to make a difference in society and show the men they could do it too. Consequently, leaving the world to wonder if work is even a necessity to the civilian

Over the past few decades, great strides have been made by women in the workplace. This increased number in women in the workplace does not mean equality however. Even with equal qualifications and achievements, women are still not given all the opportunities that men have. The chapter in the textbook, “Gender at Work”, shows us more of these inequalities in the workplace. Such inequalities cause gender segregation of jobs and can be linked with the pay inequality in the labor force. Even in jobs that are predominantly filled by women, men earn more than women. Women are often stereotyped as being family focused and not as able to travel, therefore they tend to get passed up for promotions (Garson p.353). This invisible barrier that keeps women from moving up the executive ladder is referred to as the “glass ceiling” (Baxter and Wright p. 346). Women also tend to do more domestic work, or unpaid labor and caregiving. This extra unpaid work is referred to as “the third shift” and is largely rested on the shoulders of women (Gersel p. 352). Consequently, this seems to be one of the biggest things holding women back from taking on jobs that are normally considered male

In some communities, employers dislike to employ women. In others they are reluctant to hire

As men had gone into war, many jobs needed workers. The largest single employer of women in 1918 was the munition factories due to the high demand for weapons. Though there was initial resistance to hiring women for what was seen as ‘men’s work’, in 1916 there was an introduction of conscription made need for women workers urgent. The government began coordinating the

The stereotype of women workers has changed dramatically. They are no longer treated as second class citizens. Immigrant women are the reason for this change in this society especially those who emigrated from Ireland and Italy.

The definition of the “new woman” was being established and merited the participation of women wage earners and public service. The primary labor these women participated in was in the rise of the garment industry. Many families would send their unmarried daughters to work in garment shops to contribute to the families’ income. Manufacturing occupations were also being held in textile mill and shoe industries. However, to the public these manufacturing jobs women held were regarding as unskilled

Many factors all contribute to a demand for women workers in new sites and to the disintegration of families under stress from lack of income, causing women to look for alternatives away from home, and migration becomes the solution, even though it poses many pragmatic problems.

Through other empirical studies, research showed how the typical working girl was approached with a multidimensional field of positive opportunity when it came to employment. The article suggests how due to the prosperity of the city and more specifically its city life created new jobs for people, specifically towards women. Through their work, women emphasized the importance of being able to work outside of the home. This new sense of work gave them the confidence that all women have the same set of skills that men

Although females had push into the right direction, they still did face some adversity. “Many fully employed women defined themseleves as ‘homemakers’, outside the sphere of wage work” (Abelson, 117). This shows that even with all these changes for the better women did not shy away from their traditional roots.

Thirdly, the articles elaborate on the idea of women being paid. This was a crucial factor when it came to the developments of industrialism and family life. In De Lottinville’s article, he mentions the low paid wages women received during the industrial wave. Muise examines women’s participation in the paid workforce, which remained limited, especially in the coal industry. Overall, these similarities help demonstrate the conditions of industrialization and family life in the Maritimes in the 19th and 20th century.

Bernard Bailyn’s Barbarous Years is only part of a larger project that uncovers many of the truths about the peopling of British North America. In this segment, he discusses the founding of colonies in Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland and the anguish all people involved faced. Bailyn defines the early colonists in what would become the United States, as well as the Natives, as “barbarous”, or cruel, primitive, uncivilized, and exceedingly brutal. Bernard Bailyn states his aim as “to recount their experiences as simple narratives that have beginnings and developments but no inevitable outcomes, to identify individuals when possible, their personalities, appearances, fortunes, and passions, to reach back into their prior experiences,

Between the 16th and 18th century a power shift began to occur between Christian Europe and the Turkish Empire. Turkey, being one of the most successful, thriving and longest lasting empires of the world, began to deteriorate in the shadow of the rising European powers. The late 18th century saw Europe ascending as a leading world power. This paper will argue two of the major reasons that contributed to the shift of power from the dominant Turkish Empire to Europe. Firstly, after the death of Sultan Suleiman in 1566, the Turks failed to advance militarily while the Christian empires, who had already advanced far ahead, underwent significant military advancement. Secondly, the policy of a Sultan being chosen for quality and character was replaced with a new policy of inheritance, which contributed to the rise of unskilled and incompetent Sultans running the empire, further contributing to the decline of the Turkish Empire.

The generation now has made it easier to equalize men and women but there is still a substantial amount of places where gender inequality is still happening in the workplace and where females still face discrimination. Women are often discriminated in the workplace and are usually not promoted as quickly as men are and they also receive less pay. History shows that women have not always been defined as property and thought of as second class citizens. But in the 21st century many have seen a drastic change in the so called “traditional” family ways where women are suppose to stay home and take care of the household chores, food, and children and men are suppose to work to support their family and provide financial stability. Many assume that in the workplace women are more vulnerable and less competent than men because women 's instincts are to put their family before work or anything else. Whereas men are the ones who will usually stay the late hours to work. People on both sides of the political spectrum and everywhere in between seem to be fearful of what is to come and more fearful of others than they are often willing to admit.

Women have experienced a historic situation of inequality in the social as well as professional aspects. Women were normally the ones that would take care of children, do the chores in the house, and in rural areas; they would work in the field with the rest of the family. However, today’s women have become more self-sufficient and independent from the predominant male figure within every historical family. Gender inequality in the workplace is becoming less common; yet, gender is a factor that affects men and women. Especially women have been subjected to a historical discrimination that has influenced society to decide which job is more suitable for women than men. However women have confronted and tried to break down the barriers that
