Joyce had attempted to get in touch with her daughter in any way she could. but all she got from her daughter was suspicious behaviors and a simple response “ will write later. Don't worry”. She decided to get in her daughter’s e-mail account to see if she could find any clue what was going on with Audrey. She found out that Johnny the guy who her daughter was in love with had tested H.I.V positive.
Throughout the article, she references women and the culture of overwork, completely disregarding the men in society today that are “workaholics” in order to support their families. Because of her feminist beliefs, she takes a primary view of the issue as one the only effects women in this article. There are however a large number of men who become workaholics in order to support a family, where the woman chooses to stay home with the children for example. When Rebick states “women need to make overwork a major public policy issue,” she is being prejudice towards the male population that is also effected by overwork. She only references woman in her advice on how to overcome the issue, therefore leaving out a major demographic in the workforce.
The Reprimand is a “phone play” about two women having a conversation over the phone in an office type work setting. Right there the play is suggesting that woman work in offices because they do not possess the ability to do “hard” labor. A man’s body is stereotypically perceived as much better adapted to hard physical work, and the central and massive part of him is formed by the chest. Stereotypically, a man has broad shoulders and strong arms, and much stronger muscles than a woman and projects an image of strength. Woman, on the other hand, stereotypically possesses a body that is structured for motherhood, and their massive and central body is constituted by the womb.

Equality For All It’s the 21st century and our nation consists of many different cultures, race and religions. However, racial discrimination still lives on amongst every ethnicity. When my grandma left the Philippines for San Francisco in 1956, white Americans instructed she were to have no aspirations beyond being a good wife and mother. She came to America not knowing one word of English, therefore people assumed she was dumb. She was never given the privilege to work hard and become successful, all because she didn’t speak English.
Edith’s motive for beginning her late career in politics was because she believed that the rights and needs of women and children were not represented in government and her own sad experiences as child. Edith also believed that ‘...The views of both sides are more than ever needed in parliament today. If men and women work for the state side by side and represent all different sections of the community, and if the male members of the house would be satisfied to allow women to help them and would accept their suggestions when they are offered, I cannot doubt that we should do very much better work in the community then was ever done before.’ ( An extract from Source
Example would be; best book sellers, self-help videos-with titles like men are mars, women are from venus. Of course, the question is an age old one. Nevertheless, people nearly always seem to be interested in new (and often old, disguised as new) perspectives about how and why men and women are so different. The talk of differences is so common that the assumption is rarely questioned. One problem with much of the talk about sex/gender differences is the facility with which gender stereotypes can be unintentionally reinforced.
The top management of the company were stakeholders in the company, making them virtually irreproachable. Employees who worked directly for the top management such as assistants, secretaries, and receptionists tended to be almost exclusively younger attractive women. The company was a service related industry with many branch offices, so the bulk of the company resided at locations other than the main office where she worked. She then detailed her work environment including the interaction with co-workers, both peer and superiors. When she began working for the company everybody was nice and supportive of her, but she noticed a high employee turnover amongst those working for top management.
Unlike Claire, she was only popular because her family was rich and she had superior things, I was popular because I chatted with anyone I saw. I was head of the cheerleading team, a well-trained track star, and maintained high honor roll grades. With me being a cheerleader, I knew majority of the players who played on a sports team which made up most of my high school. Since I had good grades that meant I did a lot of studying, which got me to know the “nerds.” Most of the nerds that went to my school belonged to different social clubs, so I was associated with them as well. Even though my parents drove nice cars, I always rode the bus to school, so I communicated with all my peers on the bus.
It has been especially noticed by my friends that I use the word ‘dude’ very frequently, this could be due to the fact that American phrases are being passed on more easily than before through the internet, making it easier for teenagers to pick up. A factor that I mentioned affected my speech was gender. While exploring my own language use I found that I am more comfortable around my own gender than with males, I believe this to be because of the school that I attend. As it is an all-girls school with mainly female teachers I have grown up in an environment that is mainly female dominated and I think this has affected my speech greatly. I have noticed that I tend to speak faster and use hand gestures while at school as girls tend to talk a lot and over-lap each other so it can be hard to get your point across in a conversation if you don’t make your point quickly.
