On the other hand, those of “middle” age are more inclined to disagree. This being the case, is earning money a woman's responsibility? The evidence indicates that just 19 percent of the responding participants agree. A greater share of women than men are inclined to agree and disagree. However, a large share of men neither agrees nor disagrees.
Linda then conducted another study, involving both genders playing a game, and being awarded money; if the participants asked for more money, they would receive it. Again, the difference in male and female gain was extremely significant, by nine percent. In the end, Linda concluded that men tend to initiate negotiations and request what they want much more often than women do. The topic of “Women Don’t Ask” is that there is a significant difference between males and females when it comes to inquiring about the things they want. The thesis is, “More men ask.
When women worked in groups, their leadership and subordinate roles varied by offense. For credit fraud, women were just as likely to be leaders as subordinates, but for false claims, more took a subordinate role. By contrast, more men took a primary role in false claims offenses; but for the remaining offenses, men were just as likely to be leaders as subordinates. There is no variable in the data file for the gender (or race) composition of crime groups; thus, the proportions of men and women working in same- or mixed-gender (or race) groups cannot be determined. For each offense, the men's attempted economic gain was higher than the women's: by a factor of ten for bank embezzlement, five for postal fraud, and two for credit fraud and false claims.
PSE 4UI - Portfolio #1 Bonnie Schumacher September 18, 2008 This article highlights the vast differences in how much male athletes and female athletes make as professionals. For example, in a review of the top 10 highest paid male and female athletes, the highest paid female, Maria Sharapova made only $26 million, whereas the 10th-highest paid male playing the same sport, Roger Federer made $35 million. There are many reasons why men get paid more than women in sport: their training costs more; there is more media attention around male sports, and equipment, etc. costs more. I find this topic of interest because it is interesting that after so many years of struggling for equality with males, females have still not found a balance in all aspects of life.
Certain female personality traits may lead to prejudice, bias, and stereotyping. For example, studies show that women, on average, are more concerned than men with developing and maintaining positive social relationships. In fact, women who feel competitive toward others actually score lower on measures of self-esteem (Gray 555). In many corporations, this “agreeableness” is often seen as soft and non-assertive. However, this personality trait is very useful in collaboration and negotiation.
Other people, however, may think that this is solely due to sexual discrimination and they argue for women’s rights and against discrimination in general. There are several different things that need to be known in order to even consider preparing a proposal for a known problem. Understanding a problem, its causes, and problems with past solutions are needed to be understood in order to come up with a possible solution for that problem. Even though many women have made gains in occupations, the man-women wage ratio was raised by 10% in the 80s. It rose 4 more in the 90s, and in the next decade it grew even more quickly (Schneider).
• Experience of job interview where you are not hired because of male contenders. • Men are unconscious of the privileges that come with being a man. • Women are proven to be better at mathematics then men are • Men are paid more then woman, and are listened to more. • Men are believed to be more dominant and more respected then as women. Comments: This article made me upset.
In a sample girls scored lower on math self-efficacy. However, scores for reading were comparable. Much of the research uses personality factors which included self-esteem and confidence to explain the various levels of accomplishments and competence of women when compared to men. Women that are more vocationally secure are known to show more interest and competence in the area of science. It was proven that men were more confident in their math ability than women.
However decisisons such as child care would be done by the wife or a joint decision. This could be down to the face that men predominantly earn more money than woman, so they get the choice, in this situation the man would play the instrumental role. This suggests that equality is at a minimum. On the other hand a study done in 1993 by Silver & Schor found that it is a lot easier in this generation to make food and clean up etc, due to the technology available, which reduces time taken to do the certain task which would give women more time around the house. So in this time they could go elsewhere and get a job to earn some extra money.
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) Women all across the world have been beaten, raped, forced into marriages, suppressed, and subjugated. Women were considered weaker physically and mentally than men. They were seen as inferior or child- like who couldn’t fend for herself. Some male scientist “proved” the male intellectual superiority by pointing out that men had larger brains, so they inferred that they were smarter. However, people with bigger brains are proven to not generally be smarter.
