restrictions on women with the term “glass ceiling”, meaning “the unfair system or set of attitudes that prevents some people (such as women or people of a certain race) from getting the most powerful jobs”. In…

equality, there are many areas where women are treated unfairly such as the glass ceiling, gender stereotypes, and harassment. The glass ceiling has been a topic of discussion for quite some time. Basically, the glass ceiling is an invisible and generally unacknowledged barrier that prevents women and minorities from advancing in their careers in the workplace. Many people choose to ignore this subject because they feel the glass ceiling is a myth, which is not the case. "Working women are paid…

The National Cathedral is known for its massive size and impressive gothic architecture. I used to think that a gothic cathedral meant tall and pointy. I was certainly wrong. Learning about different cathedrals in this course helped me understand and identify the three specific elements that make up a gothic cathedral; flying buttresses, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults. But that is not actually what architecture is usually judge on. Vitruvius, a Roman architect, believed that the three…

of the theater, I noticed that it was almost full. This made me believe that people were interested in watching the play even though we did not have the best weather conditions. Luckily, I was able to get front row seat tickets to see the play The Glass Menagerie performs by PCPA. When I went inside the theater the first thing that I noticed was that the majority of the audience was mature people and I thought that this might have an impact on the performance. I was disappointed because I…

A parents first priority should always be their children. In the memoir The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls wrote about her daily struggles growing up with her parents. Rex and Rose Mary were unfit parents because they were inadequate role models, made selfish acts and failed to be concerned about their children’s safety. Rex and Rose Mary Walls were unfit parents because they were inadequate role models. Jeannette’s parents were giving the wrong examples like using inappropriate language and…

Although so much has changed and improved in rape culture, there is still so much growing that still needs to occur. Far too often, the victim blames his or herself. Regardless of the amount of clothing they were wearing, or if they were voluntarily on a date with the person, or if they were drunk, it is never the victim’s fault. This was very hard for me to understand, and over the past two years, my mind has been flooded with many contradictory thoughts. Was I raped? Of course not. You…

taxation and suppression. As explained by physics, a common automobile tire can easily burst under high pressure when it is overinflated. This idea is also presented in the literature. Particularly, three dramas--Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams and A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen--address the theme that excessive suppression of human nature will eventually lead to the extreme explosion, normally accomplished by a departure from a stifling environment…

industrialized world. “At every level of schooling, women and black men have lower earnings than white men” (Treiman and Hartmann 13). This goes to show that education levels are not the most effective pay gap solution because the glass ceiling continues to discourage those who try. The glass ceiling is a non-visible barrier that keeps minorities and women from reaching the upper rings of the corporate ladder, regardless of their qualifications or achievements. As a result, men are given greater…

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams had standard individuals in a common life that nearly looked like the impacts of Williams ' own life while having reoccurring subjects and themes all through the story. The play has been finished with a few varieties in the scripts and setting while as yet sticking to the fundamental thoughts of the first play. This play was a fusion of many conflicts within each character. Every character had its own demons that they were dealing with and trying to…

Gender and Unequal Pay Regardless of a woman’s education, experience, or length of time on the job, a glass ceiling exists, preventing her from receiving equal pay for equal work. During the current United States presidential race, equal pay for equal work has reemerged as a hot topic, which Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are using to attract voters, male and female alike. Even though women have made great strides in the workplace, pay inequality persists in today’s society. If…
