Topics Involving Employment For Women, Women 's Rights, And Domestic Violence / Sexual Assault

Because I am not certain what career path I intend to pursue, it was difficult to determine an appropriate person for my informational interview. However, following the advice at Quintessential Careers, I focused on my possible career choices (Quintessential Careers, Unk.). What I found was that I was likely to be involved in some type of work involving domestic violence, though I am still uncertain of the nature of that work. As a result, I decide to interview Sarah Buel. Sarah Buel is a noted attorney in the field of domestic violence. Currently a Clinical Professor and Founding Director of the Diane Halle Center for Family Justice at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, Buel was one of the names that came up most frequently as I was looking into the field of domestic violence (Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, 2012).

The person that was interviewed was named Janie M. Brown. She was a recently divorced mother of one. The client’s history is that she is originally from South Carolina, but moved to New York once she was of age to live on her own. She then worked as a secretary and had a child at the age of 21 years of age. Mrs. Brown raised her only on her own and lead a peaceful life. She didn’t marry the love of her life until the age of 46 years

When you think about women in the work field today, what do you see? A successful lawyer, a doctor, perhaps. That’s true. In fact, there have been more females holding high employment positions in the late 20th and 21st century than ever before. According to Donald M. Fisk in “Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2003”, 60% of working-age women worked in the labor force in 1999. That’s 41% more than that of 1900, where only 19% of women worked in the labor force. Among these women, a vast majority have seen their salaries sky-rocket in the past two decades, almost surpassing those of male workers. However, it is not always this way.

Charlotte Bunch once said “Sexual, racial, gender, violence, and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.” Our society experiences all of these problems and I would like to focus on the gender perspective in the 21st century and how women have had more of an influence in music than people actually realize. Men have dominated the music industry and business but women have been the underlying reason as for why men and other females have been so successful in the music scene.

Sexism is defined as the discrimination and bias towards one gender, that one gender is powerful and righteous compared to the other. Sexism has been the largest barrier between sexes to the point in which cultures as well as religions rely on misogyny to set limitation on women to make men feel more empowered. Sexism rooted about twenty five hundred years ago in which women were considered property to a man. Parents would trade their young women for more wealth. Till this day there has been a very misogynistic view towards how to properly maintain a household. A man is to hold the job in the house and provide for the family while a women stayed home to clean, cook, take care of her

Sandra Lipsitz Bem was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on June 22,1944 (Golden & McHugh, 2015). She was the daughter of Peter, a mail clerk, and Lilian Lipsitz, a secretary. From a young age, Bem was told cautionary tales of life as a housewife from her mother, Lilian. The cautionary tales of housework spurred her desire of a professional career such as her mother’s and planted the seeds of thought in regards to a marriage based on equality (George, 2014). Eager to pursue an education she enrolled in Carnegie Mellon University. Due to familial issues she made a decision to return home in the year 1965, at the encouragement of her peers she decided to take a course on her way out taught by a young professor Daryl Bem (Golden &

The first public demand for the Constitutional Amendment of women’s rights began before the Civil War, however, the Amendment for it has still not been ratified in the United States Constitution. The introduction for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) began in 1848 with the Woman’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls. Over three hundred women and men met and eventually agreed that the resolution for women’s rights should be supported. Many supporters were abolitionists working against slavery supported that equality should be supported for both ethnicity and gender. However, as tensions increased before the Civil War, the rest of the country was not ready to take the issue seriously. After the Civil war, the 14th Amendment, which defined United States citizenship, and the 15th Amendment, which addresses the right to vote based on race, Susan B. Anthony and other women declared that the denial of a woman’s right to vote was unacceptable. In 1872, Anthony attempted to go to the polls and vote due to her right to citizenship under the 14th Amendment. She was arrested and eventually convicted because the courts believed that although she was a citizen, not all citizens had the right to vote. Until Susan B. Anthony’s death, she campaigned for the right to vote. And finally in 1920, the 19th Amendment was passed, stating that "The right of citizens of the

I decided to interview her because I am interested in Health Care social work. She has had experience working for numerous health care facilities including the prestigious Duke Health’s HIV agency. She also worked at an unnamed health care facility as a receptionist, where she began to make programs to fit the clients needs, something that was not being done in that facility at that time. She is currently working at Southlight Health Care and helps plenty of clients get all around health care.

This report is about a social issue that is on Domestic Violence. Domestic Violence is a big social issue that happens all around the world. It affects many people in many different ways. The aim of this report is to identify what Domestic Violence is and what it can really do to the community and how we can help.

“Domestic violence is a type of abuse by one or both partners in marriage, friends, family, dating or cohabitation” (Aziz & Mahmoud, 2010). There are many forms of abuse from verbal and emotional to physical that often escalates over time in intensity for the victim. Data from the criminal justice system, hospital patient medical records and mental health records, police reports, surveys and social services reports of thousands of women revealed that many are injured and killed as a result of violence from someone close to them. “The US Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion, or gender” (Robertson & Murachver, 2009). Researchers and the criminal justice system have not been able to agree on a clear definition to domestic violence which can range from physical injury, stalking, verbal abuse and humiliation, denial of shelter and access to money, and intimidation through aggressive behaviors. The definition of domestic violence may vary but the results from physical injury, mental and emotional trauma, and sometimes even death can last a life time.

The peaceful sound of the windchimes awakens the night. The infighting sound of the rain pelting on the beige colored roof, with the trees waving their hands like they just don't care, sets the perfect time for an interview. Over by the window, my mother and I pulled up some chairs and sat at the kitchen table by our vibrant fish tank, to start the interview. Since earlier that day I helped out at her school by setting up her classroom with her, as soon as she got home, she relaxed and changed into her black tank top and some pajama bottoms. Wearing that outfit, she decided to be willing enough to answer a few questions about her coming of age moment, her high school experience, and what influenced her to become a teacher.

▪ Write down what happened. Write down the date, time and place of the incident, as soon as possible. Include what was said and who was there. Keep a copy of these notes at home. They will be useful if you decide to file a complaint with your company or to take legal action.

Women fought very hard for their rights in the workplace. Some of them, including Susan B Anthony, went above and beyond the norm. Yet, today our rights are still not the same as a man’s. At one point women weren’t allowed to work at all, and today they are allowed to have jobs while still being home makers. Although improvements have been made, there are still several dilemmas that need to be addressed. A women earns less than a man when doing the same work, and that is extremely unfair. Another issue in the workplace is that men underestimate women due to lack of strength and discrimination. There are also the issues of pregnancy and sexual

All around the world people are being discriminated; some are discriminated because of their race, while others are because of their gender, such as women. In today world, it is no different than it was 10,000 years ago. Women are still sold into prostitution, forced to marry someone they don’t love, have no right for abortion or birth control, have little or no access to education, and have to fully rely on men. This is not fair at all, women should have right’s, they didn’t before here in the United States, but now they do (even though it still exists here). If women can have right’s here in the United States they should be able to else ware. In all discrimination against women is unfair, and unjust, because here in the U.S it is

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).
