The Gap

students (Fusarelli, 2004). The outcome of such an intention has been the now prominent discussion of the abstract or technical identification of racial and class “achievement gaps.” A study by Paul E. Barton (2004) identified fourteen factors, divided into in school and beyond school categories, contributing to the achievement gap (among those identified factors discussed are parent participation, rigor of curriculum, and…

Wage Gap As many people already know, America has many problems that have yet to be fully handled. One of the major problems we currently face is the wage gap discrepancy, which is mainly shown between male and females. Research has proven that “women are averagely earning between 76 cents to 79 cents for every dollar men earn” (Sahadi). When there is a wage gap within the nation, it begins to divide every party involved, which in turn creates many more issues. In such a highly modernized…

scenario can be paralleled to other theories and ideas, like the gender wage gap. From a broad perspective, the gender wage gap looks legitimate. Upon further inspection, there is substantial evidence for its illegitimacy. This is why feminists should not use the gender wage gap as a valid argument. What is the gender wage gap? The gender wage gap is the average difference between what a man earns, and what a woman…

Nowadays, we are living in the new media society because of the digital devices are surrounded our lives such as the Internet, iPhone, TV… In fact, it also means we are living in the information society. According to the lecture, we access to information happens through digital technologies (Quintero, Johnson 2016, Information Society). There is no denying fact that we access the news, music, and information come from digital technologies. Meanwhile, new media society change our lifestyle; it…

Gender Pay Gap Historically gender pay discrimination has been more prevalent in our working world, as women have been seen to be inferior to men especially in the work place, hence the believes that women should get less for work done regardless of how much of the work they have done compared to the men as the role of the man is in a work place while the woman’s primary role is to build the home. This believe though not scientifically proven, but rather a human believe that women are less…

in today I don’t think gender gaps are as prevalent as most people make it out to be. The other night during the presidential debate one of the candidates said, “She’d get equal pay for women even if they don’t do an equal amount of work.” This remark really aggravated me. If I work at a store with a woman and she works way harder than I do then I don’t deserve or expect the same pay as her. That’s sending a bad message to children all across the country. The gender gap issue doesn’t just…

past, girls were rarely educated because they were expected to stay home and tend to the family, creating a gender gap in education. One cause of this gap is the hidden curriculum, a school unofficial norms. Many schools value hard work, competitiveness, and hierarchy, which instilled into boys at a young age, so they perform better. Recently, awareness has risen about the gender gap in education and changes have been made. More girls are attending two or four year colleges and women are…

we still have a significant wage gap. Which is what makes the question above so perplexing. With the amount of female breadwinners increasing, such a pay discrepancy could hurt our consumer driven economy (WB 1), thus managing this issue is vital for a growing economy. This problem continues to be prevalent for two reasons: one reason being tradition, and the second the exploitation of tradition. Both factors appear to be the cause and sustenance of the wage gap, and resolving them will bring…

true. Something that is also true is the fact that the gender wage gap is not based on discrimination and is something that is directly influenced by the worker as a person: not as a gender. This lie has been spread around quite a bit lately, partly due to the recent presidential election, and it is just one of those things that is heard so many times that what was fallacy turns into fact. This preconception of a gender wage gap made by many Americans, young and old, is fueled by the vast…
