    Ullman encourages women to never give up and fight for their dreams. Her motivational words have been inspired by her past experience of harassment and discrimination. Through her hardships, she has grown and shaped the successful woman she is today. Ullman will be shocked to learn that the percentage of women in the Computer Programming field has dropped to 21 percent, but surprisingly the percentage of women in Management and Professional Occupations, have dominated with 57.2 percent (“Labor Force”). Kaplan, on the other hand, questions the school systems of how they are focusing all their attention on inspiring and preparing young women to be successful and lack the time and resources to motivate the young men to pursue a higher education.…

    This shows that women now were more independent in society; they were getting the same education as men. It established that females are smart and intelligent, talented, and prepared for anything. The Times also noted that “ Both schools have shown no real disparity in men’s and women’s performance. Students at Columbia, though, have compiled a petition asking the school to hire more female faculty.” This suggests that more women faculty were required at universities and…

    The idea of a working women in America should not seem as new as it does. Society constantly reminds us that a woman who works has to be tougher than most other women and has to give up other aspects of her life to be able to work. Whereas men just simply get a job and go to work without being forced to make sacrifices. There is a widely recognized misconception that women need to be cold-hearted and emotionally detached in order to be successful in their careers. This belief restricts the behaviors of aspiring businesswomen, making them feel like they need to fit the depicted mold of a “heartless bitch” and leave behind their true personality.…

    #5. Is the Gender Wage Gap Justified? According to Shackleton (2008), the gender wage gap has little to do with inequality. However, the main focus is the worthiness of women and men and how they vary in the workforce. Corporations are in the money-making business; by all means, people are paid according to accuracy, knowledge of the job, ability, and how the work is executed.…

    For many years, women had been subject of increased gender inequality, including restricted access to employment opportunities. However, during the antebellum era, several important changes were introduced to address the rights and roles of women in the society. Consequently, though earning a much lower pay at the time, women started getting access to job opportunities. The job landscape has continued to evolve over time and presently more women are enjoying almost similar employment opportunities as their male counterparts. In this paper, Goudreau , Adamy and Overberg’s effectively support this argument that there has been a paradigm shift in women’s employment rights and access to employment opportunities in the contemporary work environment.…

    The core ideal of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson on the fateful July 4th of 1776, is equality. This seemingly simple idea is echoed throughout the document. From when Jefferson writes “all men are created equal” to when he starts to conclude the manifesto with “free and independent states”, the image that is imprinted on any reader’s mind is that of a country that has never before been created; one of true brotherhood and equality. Unfortunately, since I was born in 1998, America has moved further away from Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Father’s vision of America.…

    All of my life, I have heard that women are not equal in America. Women throughout history have been placed as mothers, secretaries, and assistants for successful men. They had to break social barriers to get where they are now. Women had to get the education to make them stronger, so they can match with men. They had to start as assistants and secretaries in order to compete with men in the workplace.…

    In our always-progressing world we value systems and cultures to guide our actions. In my opinion, the underdogs of the world are entrepreneurs-a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so. We don’t always know who owns our favorite service provider but we continue to come back for more. In America we think of the same top one percent as our idea of a successful entrepreneur. Does our world really go around based off of the works of Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs?…

    Gender has taken a large role in international relation, but is often left out. The construction of gender and the process of gendering have reflected the roles, class, and power of women.
