If women become judges it is because they have the knowledge and experience to be what they are. These judges know how women can be they have worked with them for many years before becoming judges. Female judges are fairer than male judges when it comes to sentencing. Female judges protect female offenders less, male judges tend to be more chivalry towards women offender many of them are not aware of it, because of their chivalry desire to protect women which has become so engrained (Sarnikar, Sorensen, & Oaxaca, 2007). Female judges are less protective of female offenders because they do their jobs as judges and not as a female civilian.
The 19th Amendment did not bring equality for women in any sense, other than the gain of suffrage. In addition, although the amendment did not limit suffrage to only white women, black women often were prevented from voting. Women continue to face sexism in the workforce and all other areas of life, with women continuing to earn only seventy-seven cents for every dollar earned by a man. Although, women now surpass men in terms of education, and still makeup only 5% of the CEOs of Fortune 500 countries. They are held back by traditional gender roles.
According to the study, 36 percent of black women were overweight or obese, compared with about 10 percent of Hispanic and Asian women in the city. More than 7 percent of black women suffered from diabetes, compared with 2 percent of Hispanic women and 3 percent of Asian women. Fewer than 1 percent of white women suffered from diabetes, and 7 percent were overweight or obese. "Black women in the District are really struggling," said Cara James, a senior policy analyst at Kaiser and the study's lead author. "This is a chronic condition that we know is related to poverty and the availability of nutritious food and the opportunity to exercise."
She did this with 651 participants of varying age. Two minutes later the participants were stopped again and asked to recall the physical characteristics of the woman. All age groups performed similarly but younger age groups were significantly more confident in their recall, suggesting that perhaps it is older participants lack of confidence in recall which perhaps leads them to be easily influences by misleading information. However, it is not just the elderly who can be misled by inaccurate information therefore affecting the reality of the EWT, Robert and Lamb investigated interviews of 161 children who had filed in allegations of abuse. In 68 interviews, the researcher had distorted the child’s report or had added in misleading information.
A couple of sources are even split in their opinion suggesting there was progress and yet little progress at the same time (D,A). Source D suggests that The Civil rights were successful because the picture shows a black girl in a white school. However we could argue that the picture also disagrees with much progress being made because the picture depicts Elizabeth Eckford being
It seems like white girls are more cautious about looking good than black girls. According to some research 90 percent of
In “Women Don’t Ask” by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, Linda Babcock investigates whether or not women get less of what they want because they simply do not ask for it. Linda heard from an associate dean that women do not ask for greater opportunities, men do. Through her investigations, Linda found that the difference between salaries of different genders was extremely significant; it differed by an estimated four thousand dollars. Those who did ask for a higher salary saw an increase of nearly the same amount, four thousand dollars. 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.
However, if MZ twins share 100% of their genes, then they should both have 100% chance of developing depression, but according to this research, that is not the case; this research may also suggest that genetics are not the main factor in developing depression. Due to this, some psychologists believe that the theory of genetics cannot be used to explain depression. McGuffin et al (1996) conducted research on concordance rates using 177 identical and fraternal twins. They found that the concordance rate was 46% for identical twins, but only 20% for fraternal twins; these findings are significant as the concordance rate for identical twins is over double of that for fraternal twins. These findings support the biological explanation as it suggests that depression has a genetic factor.
When looking at the mandatory test scores of minority inner city students, specifically African American students, they are significantly lower than White American suburban students, hence the achievement gap. When the achievement gap is mentioned most people automatically think of the difference in grades, standardized-test scores, dropout rates, and college-completion rates between White Americans vs. African American students, but it goes much deeper than that. When determining the gap one must look at many other factors other than race, such as the child's economic status, where they live and the schools they attend, as well as how much parental involvement there is. When the achievement gap is mentioned the instant thought of White vs. Black students comes to mind. Black students scoring lower than White students, but this can be looked at from many different angles.
The final jury consisted of 9 African-Americans, 1 Hispanic, 2 Caucasian, 10 of the 12 were women. This, in my opinion, negatively altered the way the jury’s decisions were made, which are supposed to be objective and fair without a hidden agenda. Now one might say that they did this in order to not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th
