The Gender Wage Gap In Film And Television

The gender age gap is also documented in new research by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University (Variety). Over the past few decades, A-list male stars have repeatedly paired up with younger females in their films, while their age gap has also increased over the course of time. This is because the male stars get older, while the female stars are cast between the age of 20-25. As Variety Magazine reports: the majority of women are in their 20s (23%)

Gender inequality is an ongoing issue that occurs everywhere. The Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science & Medicine defines gender inequality as “Social process by which people are treated differently and disadvantageously, under similar circumstances, on the basis of gender” (Kent).

Introduction Gender inequality is the idea or situation that men and women are not equal, and is a problem in countries around the world. I will be focusing my research on this type of inequality in Canada. It is an issue for both men and women that they are exposed to at birth, is fed by the media as a teen, and continues in their everyday life as an adult. My approach to this issue is examining three topics that are related to my assignment: childhood, everyday life, and the media. Acts of gender inequality

This inequality contributes to the damage that is committed. When men and women are treated differently, it is unethical, especially when they perform the same tasks, which require the application of the same skills, knowledge and experience. Gender inequality reflects a greater level of significance ethically as it influences women’s

The shaping of gender roles begin at the start of everyone’s lives and continue to form and impact individuals throughout the entirety of it. Not only are parents, and other important authoritative figures responsible for the forming
