British Columbia (Public Service Employee Relations Commission) v. BCGSEU (1999) that “First, the employer must show that it adopted the standard for a purpose rationally connected to the performance of the job.” (para. 5). This principle deals with equality as everyone should be judged according to the same standards. If the imposed standards are not connected to the performance of the job, then they are discriminating against whoever does not pass these standards…

Yes, I Do Work Like a Girl: A Real Issue of Gender Inequality in the Workplace Despite the recent debate over pay equality, the question simply boils down to: do women deserve to make significantly less than men do? Growing up in a educationally disadvantaged community I had always held the view that women didn’t hold management positions, however since enrolled in college my views have significantly changed. Many traditional cultures, including America, teach that men should lead in families,…

effectively argues that women are capable of more because she uses proven facts of female success from an era famous for forward thinking and discovery. She uses the statement “The female Greek…is as much in the street as the male…” to show that equality in the sexes in not unheard of and has, in the Grecian culture, succeeded before. Therefore, logically, it is unreasonable for women to be oppressed because they have already proven in the Greek culture to be capable of public position. In her…

Although incorporating many…

During the nineteenth century women did not have many of the rights that are afforded to them today. They were considered secondary to men in most aspects. While they did have some power in private spheres, they did not have any power in public and political spheres. The female sex was not educated on much other than on the ways of cooking and maintaining a house. The main objective for females during this time was to live for marriage and this is the highest dream they should have. They…

Merriam Webster defines equality as the quality or state of having the same rights, social status, etc., but who is included in this “equality,” and can the U.S. really have equality among its people? Johnathon Dunn defines equality as not being the same, but being treated equally no matter your race, social status, or sexuality. Everyone should have the same rights available to him or her. Several works of literature have struggled to define equality over the years including “Harrison Bergeron”…

Freedom Writers, the definition of equality is established as all people, regardless of race or other characteristics, having the same rights. King’s letter primarily addresses the segregation of blacks from whites in the 1950’s and 1960’s, while the Freedom Writers’ diaries discuss various discriminations and injustices faced in the 1990’s. Despite the two texts being from different eras, they portray the same meaning of equality. Rather than directly defining equality, both texts define the…

off as a very one sided opinion if regards to “gender equality” claiming that barring arms makes men and women equal. There is a thin line between equality as a whole and using guns in order to close the inequality gap when it comes to self-self-defense. When taking all the fights women put up to become equal to men into consideration, as well as all the inequalities…
