Males and females both compete for different things; males want quantity so they can increase the size of their gene pool whereas females want quality in their males and them to provide good resources. As well as this women tend invest more in their offspring because they are guaranteed to be the offspring’s mother whereas males are not. The same goes for grandparents. Grandmothers will invest more in their grandchild because they know that they are guaranteed to be their grandmother. Whereas grand fathers are far less likely to invest because not only might they not be the father of their son but their son might not be the father of the new offspring.
Another problem was that even though there are anti-discrimination policies, a slight differential treatment towards minorities is still present. Employers expect and demand more input from minority groups and that is why people are hesitant to leave their workplace to cast a vote (Rivers, 2012). An outside source looks at voting from a different perspective. An interestingly opposing statistic is that minority groups with higher education and social status take the time to participate, as voting is very important to them. They want to take part in the choice of their government because it took so long and so much effort for them to receive the equal rights and abilities to enjoy democracy (Speel, 2010).
These factors that many think that could be adversarial are race, gender, sexual orientation, and pedigree. Those people believe that all those components will be a problem to some who think that just working hard is enough to become successful. Although many people such as Horatio Alger, the author of “Ragged Dick”, have different opinions on how an individual can accomplish something in life, everyone achieves success differently. For most citizens of America, they believe that they must work hard to achieve what they want in life. Some do not think that any other factors such as race or social economic status can affect the outcome of an individual’s life.
Modernization throughout the time period is a factor of the advancement of civil rights for women since separate spheres, which was an ideology where men belonged in the public sphere that refers to the world of politics, economy and law. Where as women belonged in the private sphere where it included domestic work, child caring, housekeeping and religious education. Some Women did go against the ideology by working in a men dominated environment e.g. Politics. Activism by women was not the most important factor in advancing civil rights in certain issues and it would disagree with the judgment.
I assumed that Carla was responsible although she could be doing everything she did only because she had been told to do so or possibly she could have been lying about the things she said. It would be hard for me to know the difference between her realities or what she falsely claimed as true, and there could be many other factors which we don’t see that say she was not a responsible person. With Carla’s gender I automatically thought she would be more mature and caring than her brother because she was female, and usually girls mature faster than boys, or so I have been told over the years. I believed automatically that their socio-economic status was middle class because her family could afford to travel for months and send two kids to University, and that is not cheap. Carla’s weight was not that big of a concern for me because I thought it was the stress from her brother causing her to be underweight; I took this assumption directly from my own situation of living with an older brother.
In both studies, the conclusions did show that behavior is influenced by outside sources, but the information was not strong enough to be able to say whether or not the effects were temporary or if it had a lifelong impact. Another similarity noted is that there was a focus on whether gender played any part in how an individual developed behavior. David had a hard time trying to follow the plan of life as a girl as influenced by his parents and doctors, and unknowingly by the people he interacted with in society thinking he was a girl. The feeling to live like a boy was natural instinct to him and there was many consequences mentally trying to change that. As far as the Bobo doll experiment, both genders showed aggression equally, just in different
I'm not saying it isn't but in some cases there might be some employers who are corrupt and want to give you the absolute minimum wage. In some cases women would go to court over those sorts of issues. But over time the system probably will get better, but still today there remains a lot of controversy (Beyond,
Evening Things Out Affirmative action in the eyes of some can be considered to be the compromise for reparations. To others it can be looked at as an opportunity for women to be looked at as equals in comparison to their male colleagues. But those who don’t fall into either of those categories look at affirmative action as reverse discrimination or racism. There is an argument that there is truth in all of those statements, but it is more prevalent in the first two than the latter. Minorities were never given the appropriate chance they deserve, and women still can’t get the respect they deserve in the workplace.
However, politically and economically men have sustain their dominance. For years, in the not so distant past, women were prohibited to get jobs let alone an education, if allowed they would only be permitted to work as teachers or secretaries. Anything above that woman were classified as not intelligent enough or to fragile. The differences between the sexes were socially defined and vague through the eyes of chauvinism in which men assumed authority over women and maintained it through control. As the objective of impartiality between men and women is ever closer we are also losing our attentiveness of essential differences.
Mason states that women are not just wife, mother, and a friend but they are someone who also wants an education to be attorneys and such and there are no laws that prohibit this. Molly Wallace's Valedictory Address. I thought it was interesting that given the opportunity to speak in public she uses it to explain how she thinks it is unfair the way men are expected to do certain things like public speaking while for a women it is unlikely. I particularly liked her comment on how it was alright women to know how to write yet speaking in public was not really permissible. I liked it because it gives a different view of women at this time.
