The Problem Of Stem And Gender Inequality

Gender Inequality in The U.S Sophie Frank 2nd Hour Recent studies have shown that overcoming gender inequality could take up to 83 years (at the pace America’s going). But is there a way to speed this up? Gender inequality is simply when one gender is not treated as equally as the other. In fact, it has been around for a long time, and is still around today. It is mostly a problem with women because they are not given the same rights as men, though men can experience the same events. Gender inequality

and Buchmann investigate this gender gap in education and argue that the female advantage in education is not necessarily a “boy problem,” but a problem of the American educational system that fails to motivate and accommodate for students who are capable of obtaining a college degree but decides not to. While women’s educational performance and attainment exceed that of men’s on average, their low representation in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, disadvantage beyond

Gender inequality in the workplace has always existed, but I don 't know that you could say it 's getting worse, you could say that it is spreading to new fields as they are coming into existence. The STEM fields we have today such as, Cyber Security, Cyber Gaming, and Nanotechnology are still very young fields but gender inequality has still managed to take a foothold in these new fields. This is probably the best place to start the movement toward equality because many of these fields simply rely

candidates focused on womens' labor as a family issue. The sociology aspect of gender discrimination and workplace inequality is emphasized as well. The author states at the latter part of the article that: “both candidates need to be better informed on the complex factors that produce workplace inequality (Debating Gender Workplace Inequality).” Overview One of the unsettled issues when it comes to gender workplace inequality has to do with education. Women are earning slightly more degrees, yet they

employment and earn equal pay as men. The battle that women have faced and are still facing today has allowed them to obtain an education and acquire careers alongside men. Although granted these opportunities, women still face problems and are underrepresented in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields currently. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (2011), only 34% of women are employed as physicians and surgeons and 14% are architects and engineers. However

by the government, gender inequality is still apparent; pay gaps can be observed in all different fields. Splitting the wages of women by their race displays even more discrimination, as African-American and Latina women are paid significantly less than Caucasian women. There are several factors which attempt to explain the reason behind the gender wage gap, such as the influence of traditional gender roles and the evidence of vertical and horizontal sex segregation. The gender wage gap is a worldwide

The quest for equality continues today, as these two spheres begin to merge, due to the rise in social media and the subsequent decreasing private life, and women gain more influence in the public sphere. While the forms of inequality are different and an issue for both genders, the Victorian ideas are still present and prominent today. When marrying, Victorian women forfeited all their rights to property and estate, a problem that still exists in developing

THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION INVOLVED WITH GENDER ISSUES, OBESITY AND SUBSTANCE USE This essay will define the sociological imagination providing examples that highlight the links between personal troubles and public issues. Sociological analysis of gender inequality, obesity and substance use will take place using the four themes of sociological imagination; historical, cultural, structural and critical (Willis 2004, cited in Germov & Poole 2015: 8). The social construction of these examples will

if not now then when” Said Emma Watson talking about how gender inequality is wrong and who will stop it and when. A Lot of girls get treated differently or paid less because of their gender, but sometimes it doesn't always happen. Gender inequality is still a problem in America, but there are ways to fight against it. Girls can do the same things that boys can do but Girls have less opportunities than boys so that's when gender inequality comes in. According to Bull The TV show they thought girls

there are many conversations surrounding gender, race/ethnicity, and social class. However, the discontinuity in each category has heightened the inequality within sports, despite the continuous effort to eliminate negative social barriers. The large array of genders, race/ethnicity, and social classes illuminated through sport have birthed common perceptions, groupthink, and conformity; ultimately suggesting why individuals protest (to combat inequality & discontinuity), why institutions such as
