How Does Ullman Treat The Young Ladies?

Decent Essays
I personally believed that the way the author expressed her story through this essay allowed the audience to understand how females in a work position feel, and she allowed herself to be vulnerable enough to create a picture of how she felt that no matter what she was truly capable of her co-workers would always see her as less, which allowed her to write about this type of discrimination she had to endure. My personal feeling on the subject in whole of Ullman’s paper greatly raised a question of how men treat the young ladies, but also how these females are allow them to treat us in this particular why.

    As the metals are heated, they turn into a liquid which can be blended into others metals to form a new metal like how different cultures blend to form the melting pot ideal. In “Covering: The Hidden Assault on our Civil Rights”, Kenji Yoshino argues, people are hiding their individuality to comply with societal norms and become part of the mainstream. “Covering”, a commonly used term that indicates the enforcement of assimilation on the people, especially minorities who are subjected to conceal or alter their differences to be a part of the American society. Meanwhile, in “Bros Before Hos: The Guy Code”, Michael Kimmel discusses the idea of young American men developing the sense of entitlement. The eternal popularity of assimilation and melting…

    Clearly, Hazel Dews is a victim of a sexist labor system that promotes discrimination. Nevertheless, the same pattern repeats itself because “a truck driver--who earns an average annual wage of $25,030--really 45 percent more valuable than a child care worker who may have a four-year degree in early childhood education” (Barko ). The favoritism against women essentially invalidates their education or preparation because the American labor system pays women in wages comparable to that of a man just beginning to work. Likewise, Dagoberto Gilb in his essay states “ the very best people are those who work hard,” (651) but Hazel Dews’ case , an employee who works for twenty-five years is definitely an effective and trustworthy worker.…

    After just reading until the second page of "Beezus and Ramona," I knew that I would be focusing on the presence of gender norms Beverly Cleary tries to prove wrong, but also on those that she reinforces. As a women 's and gender studies minor, I am already hyperaware of the role gender plays in everyday life, so it is neat to see what views Cleary had on gender during a time when society was starting to make the transition to accepting a more autonomous woman. And "Beezus and Ramona" shows exactly that: a transitioning from one way women and girls were taught to behave by society (Beezus) to the new, more relaxed way (Ramona). In turn, Cleary depicts the different views of girlhood the changing time had as well as the way in which childhood…

    Sexism in the workplace has been a topic of discussion amongst people for quite some time, seeing as women are more often than not treated under different circumstances and standards than their male colleagues. It is an unfortunate fact that women are often seen as inferior to their male counterparts which in turn, leads to the questioning of their ability to function in certain environments and perform certain tasks.

In 1887, Edward O’ Donnell wrote an article, Women as Bread Winners- The Error of the Age which denounced women working in factories. O’ Donnell wrote, “It debars the man through financial embarrassment from family responsibility, and physically, mentally and socially excludes the woman equally from nature’s dearest impulse” (28).…
