Two other females that had nicknames are known as a sexual need in the film because McMurphy invited them over to seduce the guard and Billy. First, women are inferior to men because they were never given a position of power. During the 1960s, woman did not have any experience with power because they still lived in a society where men are taking control.

The unemployment rates for 16-19 year olds has stayed pretty steadily around 25 percent since the beginning of 2010 until the present and has never been below 24.5 percent. For the age group 20 years or over the unemployment rate averages around 8.5 to 9 percent unemployment. However, there is a higher unemployment rate for men than women throughout 2010 and into 2011 thus far. This shows that jobs where men are more likely to work were most likely hit harder during the recession than jobs that are predominately taken by women. However, the gap seems to be getting smaller as more time goes

There is an increasing shortage of nurses, especially minority nurses. In the past three decades, nursing schools have worked hard to attract more minority nurses. They have increased availability of scholarships, grants, and promotion of career advantages. Because the U.S. is growing more and more diverse, increasing the number of minority health care professionals would definitely be the key to eliminate care disparities related to patient and ethnicity. “Although African-Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians make up nearly 25% of the United States population, only 9% of nurses belong to these ethnic groups,”(Mee).
