Before, women were constantly dependent on men. Society viewed women as weak, fragile, and pure. Before the market revolution and the Second Great Awakening, women were expected to follow the cult of domesticity, which basically said that the role of a woman was to raise excellent children. They believed that topics of conversation like the economy and politics were too profound subjects for women. After the revolution and the awakening, society allowed women to work outside of the home in certain places like the mills.…

They did as they were told and remained under the control of men. They spoke when spoken to and had intercourse when their men desired to. Disrespect was tolerated and women thought nothing of it because it was the norm. There was no backbone so men had every right to think of the female society as inferior. Due to this women were faced with major hardships: sex out-of-wedlock, same sex desires, problematic marriages, prostitution, and etc.…
Help Equality in the workplace is a topic that is on many people’s minds, and it has even become part of the bestseller list recently. “What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid?” is the question author Sheryl Sandberg ask us in her article. This is her first chapter from her book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. In her first chapter of her book, she laid down a lot of ground work about her issue about the stereotypical ideal of boys and girls. This includes how girls are chastised for being a leader and ambitious because it's not acceptable for girls to have more of these traits than boys who are praised and acceptable by the majority of people.…
Because of this separation of home and work life, it created separate spheres for males and females. Men went out to work in the factories and made the money, while the women stayed at home and took care of the children. Also, sociality among women started to decline, since, women did not have to help each other to take care of the house. For example, because of the washing machine, women did not have to help each other washing clothes, now they just put everything in the washing machine and it would take care of the…
Some of the thoughts I had about the movie is, I felt for the kid, kids are so mean anyway, but when you are different, kids are much worse. Moving to a new place is difficult and children have to fit in at school. Everyone has something that is different about themselves. People cannot accept others for who they are is sad. I felt the movie at first was a little silly, the boy’s imagination with the movie, it was like a fairy tale.…
For my final topic, I decided to further explore women’s role in the workplace. It is a matter that clearly affects me first-hand, being a female; and I find the topic particularly interesting and relevant. Women have made tremendous progress in the last 100 years; including the right to vote around 1920, wives no longer being viewed as “possessions” of their husbands, and particularly, their role in the professional workforce. I was increasingly captivated with this subject after reading excerpts from Lean In, a book published in 2013 by Sheryl Sandberg; chief operating officer of Facebook, one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, and one of Fortune’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Business. In her book, she shares her personal…
In society there are many stereotypical roles that have developed in our culture. The key entity to remember about stereotypes is that they do not apply to all, but are just a way for people to come to judgements faster (Brewer). Unfortunately, these stereotypes, particularly those describing women have hindered their ability to be treated equally to men. Many of these stereotypes have to do with the work place and home life.…
Gretchen Carlson, an American television commentator, author, and 1989 Miss American winner said, “All women deserve a dignified and respectful workplace in which talent, hard work, and loyalty are recognized, revered, and rewarded” (Carlson). This quote is very powerful and meaningful to all women and men, it shows people that gender should not play a role in the workplace. Many years ago, women were excepted to stay home to tend the children and the house, but the role has changed. Several women are now successfully working but, there are also many women who are being overlooked in work. Discrimination against women in the workplace is evident through unequal pay, being passed by for big-project opportunities and promotions, and poor treatment.…
A woman by default was expected to be a loving a wife and mother with strong religious values and morality, it is her obligation. The ideal of a woman has not really changed from what it was two centuries ago, but in the United States there has been an effort to tear down the gender-roles that have been established. A woman now might be expected to become the “Martha Stewart” of her home, but if she chooses not to it is not a big deal. Additionally she is able to pursue an education and obtain any job she chooses. However, it would not have been possible if the women of earlier decades have been conformists with their status.…
Women And Equality In The Workplace Gender Equality is the most common issue which has come across at the workplace in which women are treated inferior than the other men employees. It has been noticed than women are being paid less than men, and there is a male-dominant crowd in the workplaces. For no reason women are set apart when they are equally intelligent as men. It is very casual that women are also capable of doing a particular job as men. Gender discrimination in workplaces are fallacious assumptions and must be stopped because women are just as productive as a male employee is in doing an allotted task.…
