The Importance Of Fair Pay In The Workplace

I don’t think utilitarianism and equality are able of working together, simply because human happiness and an equal pay is inefficient. I think the biggest problem will be “According to the utilitarian, maximize well-being in the society (massive income inequality can and does lead to a decrease in well-being)”. Since utilitarianism sees everyone as one, there perspective is that everyone should be in every situation (Interests, preferences, materials or payment) equally treated. Yes utilitarianism is promoting to narrow down the gender pay gap and yes, it is important to provide for equal work an equal payment for men and women, but we can’t treat everyone on this planet the same, we can’t compare an equal pay to a working women in America

A current political issue in the United States is unequal payment based on the sex of the one who is employed. Rick McKee uses he editorial cartoon, “Equal Pay,” to indirectly characterize our current president, and create some irony around the whole topic of inequality in paychecks. McKee intends to reach all possible viewers/voters to make the president appear to have some hypocrisy to create some irony surrounding the president and his people-pleasing executive orders. The moral points in this piece of artwork are: if someone wants others to change they should change first, one cannot blame their mistakes on someone else, and be humble. The main purposes of this satirical cartoon is to criticize the current president’s lack of knowledge of the issue of unequal pay going on even with those that work for him, and his attitude of a hypocrite to blame what he is in charge of on other people.

Being an interagency task force, the Equal Pay Task Force has worked closely together to build a strong foundation in order to ensure long-term success in ending pay discrimination. In the spring of 2010 the EEOC and the DOJ created a “pilot project” in which they efficiently investigated and consulted over 125 cases of pay discrimination (pg7). This interagency cooperation has trained over 2000 enforcement personnel, as well as providing online training to the various departments on how to address and handle pay discrimination more effectively. To ensure future success this task force has also worked with academic experts to use the best means of data gathering, doing so will give the Task Force transparent information to investigate future cases (pg8).

Thesis Statement: The media portrays women as bizarre and masculine when it comes to female bodybuilding because males are stereotypically viewed on this topic in the media as muscular, heroic, and powerful. Female bodybuilding is a activity where women compete in bodybuilding competitions, or women that just get a kick out of lifting weights and having muscle definition. With the increase in women lifting weights and bodybuilding in media: TV film, posters, commercials, photographs on internet etc.. There is more positive and negative comments and opinions about the females that do these activities. Some media and most of society sees female bodybuilders in an adverse manner.

The Guardian article “The USA women's national team are demanding equal pay. Is it realistic?” written by Beau Dure discusses the interview held by CBS’s 60 Minutes about the USA women’s national soccer team’s drive for equal pay. There have been scarce meetings between US soccer and representatives for the women’s team, and even less knowledge of what is being discussed within these meetings. As of now all that anyone knows for sure is that the women’s team current deal is coming to an end. Dure points out that the debate at hand includes all forms of equality between the US men’s team and the US women’s team; such as equality in pay, travel amenities, and field location accessibility. However, while there are many parts to this debate Dure choses to focus on the difference in pay. Dure emphasizes the difference in the payment systems, bonuses for championships, and gap between two star players that play the same position. Dure makes sure to add that this debate has been going on for a long time and not only in the US. At this moment it is unknown if they are looking for exact pay as the men’s team.

For a long time in the United States, women have battled with equity issues. Men have frequently been dealt with as unrivaled, leaving women to feel mediocre and less essential. This has happened even in the working environment. The privilege for women to have the capacity to vote was a case of a fight that was battled long and hard against the forces that be. As women advanced and their impact inside the work environment developed, the requirement for women to go up against the parts as a representative and not only a housewife additionally expanded. With this convergence of female specialists additionally came the requirement for reasonable wages. Women regularly worked similarly the same number of hours as their male partners, however were not given equivalent pay for the level of work they were performing. This was normally known as the sexual orientation pay crevice.

In the modern United States of America i do think that men are treated different than women. Men are treated as if they are superior to women. Pay in the United States may vary for the same job based on weather you are a woman or a man. I think there is somewhat of a system of equality, but this system is nowhere near perfect. The reason our system is not perfect is because we still don't have things such as equal pay. I believe that our society could have a perfect system of equality if things like equal pay were in commision. So as of right now i do not believe we have a great system of equality in effect. This is what i think about the system of equality in the United

The United States Women’s National soccer team overpowered Columbia on April 6, 2016. The United States Women’s National team ended up beating Columbia 7-0 in East Hartford Connecticut. The Pratt and Whitney Stadium was filled with 21,792 chilled fans cheering and chanting for equal pay. There were many signs saying “Equal Play=Equal Pay,” and “Grass Only,” a reference to the artificial turf fields that the women’s team has been bothered about for many years now. After the game, The New York Times interviewed with Becky Sauerbrunn, a defender on the team. She said, “We have the best fans in the world” and “To support us like that, we’re really appreciative.” I was actually at the game on April sixth and it was a very moving game. When the players

“Imagine you 're a little girl. You 're growing up. You practice as hard as you can, with girls, with boys. You have a dream. You fight, you work, you sacrifice to get to this stage. You work as hard as anyone you know. And then you get to this stage, and you 're told you 're not the same as a boy. Almost as good, but not quite the same. Think how devastating and demoralizing that could be” Venus Williams. For years, women have worked as hard as men to get an education, get their dream job, or even get a promotion in a job they are currently at so they can earn less pay than a man and not even know it. They take on these important roles and titles as a manager or take on more jobs than they can handle to prove they are worthy as the next guy and to receive no raise or still underpaid to the guy who does not work as hard or have the same job title. However, women and men have begun to see this a problem and started to work together to make a change. Women makeup over half the workforce and are seen, if not equal, or are the breadwinner in four out of ten families (About Pay Equity & Discrimination 1). Women in the workforce should earn the same pay as men because they work hard to get an education, their race should not play into an effect, and they support a family.

Universities like USC should pay the coaches of men's and women's sports comparable salaries based on experience, skill, and performance rather than should base their coaching salaries entirely on market considerations. Market considerations are what coaches pay is based on. If a coach has been in the Olympics and has many wins, of course, he’s “a hot ticket”, but if they have regular experience and skills and performance with many wins they are not as valuable. It also comes down to male versus female. Female sports do bring in as much revenue as male sports. If the men are bringing in more money than they should be paid extra, although the job should be fair equal pay. In conclusion, it is morally right to pay both sexes equally for the same

The fight for equality amongst the genders has been a long one for American women. Although during the country’s history, the government has granted many rights to women, in hoping for equality amongst genders, these rights have been poorly enforced. Many companies still pay their women workers less than their male counterparts for doing the same job because of issues like cultural bias. Women cannot seek for equal pay because of their ignorance to the specifics of the wage gap or because of the fear of retribution. While all of this still holds true, California has taken a step further in closing the gender wage gap with the passing of the Fair Pay Act in 2015 which bans pay secrecy and retribution for inquiry of earnings. It is hopefully only through the strict enforcement of this act and the setting up educational programs that California can hope to successfully

In 1923, the story “The Sniper” was written by Liam O'Flaherty. The story is about a Civil war in Ireland where there were 2 snipers, shooting at each other and they were both on a rooftop with long-range weapons and they don’t know each other but at the end one of the sniper found out that he killed his own brother. The author uses irony and the conflict between the sniper and the other sniper just to tell us the main message which is that we shouldn’t fight each other, we should fight together because we live in the same country and we should fight for our country.

Furthermore, the ERA will produce everyone to have an equal pay. No matter the gender or race. “Tracy Rexroat starting salary was more than $17,000 lower than her male peers’ when she was hired in 2007 and remained well below theirs in 2010,” it says in Why We Need an Equal Rights Amendment. This shows an example of how a woman would be paid to a man. Shouldn’t they get the same pay? The ERA can make that happen. “Despite laws guaranteeing equal pay for equal work, women on average still are paid only 78 cents on the dollar that men are paid – even less for African American women and Latinas,” it says in the same article. Poor or rich, women are being put into a lower paying job so they don’t receive plenty of money. Giving men a higher
