Sheryl Sandberg talks about this issue in “Lean In: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid.” She proposes the idea that the reason women do not receive results equal to their male counterparts is not because of lack of opportunity, but because they are choosing to pursue different priorities than men. In “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All,” Anne-Marie Slaughter discusses the idea that in today’s

redujice is not something we are born with; it is something that we grow to learn from who and what surrounds us, things that help to form our identity.

The basis for liberal education was to “improve society by improving the intelligence of individuals” (Ravitch, 2000, pg. 30). Equipping diverse students with a common education and creating equal opportunity allowed students to gain the skills needed to contribute to society. A liberal education granted students to “make their own decisions about their studies and careers” (Ravitch, 2000, pg. 86). The Committee of Ten believed all high school students should “study history and literature, science

This paper will analyse gender inequality, specifically focusing on the ‘gender wage gap’ in Australia.

Most see the dream as showing off the achievements of our people, but this idea of focusing only on our successes disregards the failure and struggle that everyone endures to even witness the light of success.
