While the program aims to help individuals become self-sufficient, the author of the article Rebeca Kissane implies that the program staff use a “one-size fits all” approach to training and educating the participants. For which they ignore the larger structural sociological issues, and consider poverty to be caused by personal choice, or induvial problems. Moreover, push the women into accepting any form of employment, not one that they desired—a full-time job, stable enough to provide a stable financial situation for the individual and their family.…
Barbara Ehrenreich and Arlie Hochschild, authors of “Introduction” argue that there is a global inequality when it comes to women, men, and their ways of provision. They state that women travel to other “richer” countries, looking for work to provide for their families, which in turn leaves their children with no one to cafe for them, and their husbands who have no drive to step up and accomplish household tasks. The authors explained that “rich” countries need female roles, ie. maids, nannies, and sex workers, that can be filled with foreign counterparts.…

The project of Katheryn Edin’s essay, “What Do Low-Income Single Mothers Say About Marriage,” is that there are more reason as to why low-income mothers have low marriage rates. These low-income women have grown independent and refuses to marry another individual even if it meant for the hopes of financial stability. The factors of affordability, respectability, trust and the possibility of domestic violence have heavily reflected reasons as to why these womens become single low-income mothers. One of the first things Edin discuss about is the idea where single mothers consider affordability as it is commonly known as males are the normally known for being an important source of income. And if the men do not live up to the expectations then…
The areas include reducing poverty among women, stopping violence, providing access to education and health care and reducing economic and political inequality.” These laws have made progress, but very progress. And the women are not going to keep asking for their rights to be returned. They are going to start demanding for them to be returned. (Gumisai…
Brian Bada Mrs. Clark English 1V 31 October 2017 Ch.2 One of the problems we have in our society is identifying a women’s role in society. A man’s role in society is easy to define. A man is usually the breadwinner of the family and is responsible for providing and taking care of the family. On the other hand, a woman’s role in society has evolved over time. It used to be that a woman was supposed to take care of the house, have children and take care of them.…
Today, more and more women are single mothers taking care of their children on their own. The government and places of employment should implement policies to allow female’s paid maternity leave and family leave. By doing so women will be able to take care of their children without sacrificing their career. The government should take action in making sure women are not payed less based on their gender. They should also put more effort in protecting women against discrimination in the workplace.…

Welfare Policy Welfare, a government assisted program was created to help those with no or low income. Programs like Medicaid, Women, Infant, and Children (WIC), and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) were created to reduce the negative impact that poverty has on families (History of United States Welfare Programs, n.d.). The Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) gives single mothers the opportunity to live a stable life without going to work. Several years later AFDC was changed to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Yet, we see that even with this change, evidence implies welfare did the opposite of what it was supposed to do.…
How did the culture of the 60s change the Women’s movement? Imagine the era before the sixties, most women really had a difficult time with their own basic rights and lifestyles. They were also discriminated as a second gender, which had to follow a frame of the society by starting a family since their early ages and to stay at home as a housewife taking care of a husband and child, which means that everything seemed to be limited for them. However, after the revolutionary of the 60’s, the second wave, things had tremendous changed for women.…
Although, these policies were made to help men due past historical social demands. “The assumption was that breadwinners (presumed men) had caretakers (women, of course) holding down the home front”. In this quote we see that past social conditions that required the male as the worker and the female has the housemaid now does not correlate with modern requirements. Due to these gender establishments when women are given an opportunity to become independent they are given gender roadblocks that prevent them from being socially…

Race: Black Muslim Women Race is a term used to identify ourselves with. For some, it comes with hatred and discrimination to their specific racial group of people. There is a background of race and explanations of the origin of race hatred. In my opinion, I think Black Muslim women are the most interrogated people of America. Being a Black Muslim woman comes with misogyny for being a female, racism for being black, and islamophobia for being a Muslim.…
For hundreds of years, women were seen to be inferior to men. Men and women had different obligations and rights at first.
