Although women proved themselves to be hard working and just as capable of doing work as the opposite gender, many also struggled due to the work being dangerous and the poor safety regulations at the time, as source A8 shows. This source supports the change in women and proves women to be doing, what is seen as, masculine jobs although it shows the negative impact it has on women. The source shows women to be working long hours in dangerous conditions, so much that women would have to exclude themselves from work to recover due to the fumes of the ‘dope paint’, this proving the extremely poor safety regulations. This source shows how the lives of women were affected by the war but not all in a positive way and in fact there were
One of her biggest challenges was working with Douglas Henry, who was the company’s key punch and computer sections supervisor (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2009). Rabidue and other female colleagues were exposed to Henry’s vulgarity, hateful comments towards women, and obscene posters demoralizing women. Upper management had been informed of it, but had only given Henry friendly advice to curb the behavior, which had not been effective. Rabidue was also faced with challenges of not being able to perform her duties or receive the same courtesies and benefits as the other managers such as: free lunches, free gasoline, a telephone credit card or entertainment privileges (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2009). She was unable to take clients to lunch because of how it would be perceived.
Women do not have mentally tough enough to survive and physically strong enough that is 2 reasons to convince the reader that the author offers. However, although the author give some credibly example to show women get high-stress but it just happened some women. Almost women can work in high stress environment better than men. Darren Gaves give two of three argument is right but overall supporting the last argument are overgenalised and lack
This has devastating effects because it leaves women in a constant state of self-surveillance, and causes a splitting of self between the subjective self and the self as an object (Crawford, 2011). Since depression rates are rapidly increasing and leading to dangerous outcomes like suicide or eating disorders, research and assistance are needed to address the psychological distress caused by our culture that leads to such high depression rates in women. The purpose of this paper is to review evidence that supports the hypothesis that self-objectification plays a major role in the increasing rates of depression for women. Since depression is linked to self-objectification, it is important to explore the scope of depression in Western societies, how and when it arises, how it differs between females and males, and its relationship to body dissatisfaction. In adults, the female-to-male ratio of depression is 2:1 (Evans, 2011).
She is introduced as a temptress or “looker” but later reveals a deeper character in the novel. Curley’s wife is powerless due to her gender. In the book, women are portrayed as troublemakers and Curley’s wife is defiantly included in this portrayal. She is described as a “tart”, “bitch”, and a “tramp”. The workers speak of her, basically, as Curley’s problem that needs to stay at home away from the other workers.
I’ll start off with General Strain theory, it states that strain can be caused by failure to achieve positively valued stimuli, the loss of positively valued stimuli, and presentation of negative stimuli. In Compelled to Crime, the African American battered women were overwhelmed with strain, in response they acted out by committing an array of different crimes. The reasoning behind this could be because of their low levels of social support. The African American battered women did not have a lot of support; they were most of the time cut off from their families and friends. Another example of how strain applies to these women can be seen in Agnew’s writings when he said “Data suggest that child abuse and neglect negative school experiences, chronic unemployment, and residence in deprived communities are important causes sate anger and that such anger explains much of the effective of strains on crime.” (Agnew, Chp.
‘Women must creep’ (Elaine R. Hedges) illustrates the thought that women shouldn’t be heard, but do only what they’re required to do, reinforcing how women were demeaned. The lack of power women had was not only present within their marriage, but also in society as males were perceived as the more significant gender, so women were patronised and dismissed by patriarchal control. Patriarchal control is represented clearly by John, the protagonist’s husband, which increases complexity within the novel as the isolation and ‘The resting cure’ he enforces upon her, causes her mental state to degenerate further, despite John believing it is helping his wife. There are a number of methods used to increase the characters complexity in The Yellow Wallpaper. For example, the use of epistolary displays a 1st person narrative and is in the present tense, “I never used to be so sensitive.” This is present when the protagonist writes to herself, Gilman uses this technique in order to show the
It can occur at or outside the workplace and can range from threats of abuse to physical assaults and homicide, one of the leading job related deaths.” (OSHA fact sheet, 2002, p. 1). Workplace violence against nurses is escalating, causing more and more nurses to walk away from their career because of violence that has happened to them. Some of these nurses are leaving because they have been injured to the point of being disabled, either physically or mentally. Violence toward nurses has detrimental effects not only on the nurse but also on the patients. For example: if a nurse is always worried about being hurt by a patient how effective is that nurse going to be?
Despite the void of sensationalistic media coverage reporting domestic violence in this country, it is a present and growing problem. The prevalence of physical and sexual abuse females endure, it is evident that many women in correctional facilities are there because of an attempt to end their histories of violation and repression. While crimes against their abusers accounts for a major reason many women are in prison, the ongoing war on drugs policy is one of the central contributing factor to the mass incarceration of women in America today. Too, add to this I feel the most devastating effect is the subsequent denial of federal benefits that people convicted of felony charges are subjected to once release from prison. Because
“I burst into tears.” Pickler says, “They thought I was not going to be able to do my job. They thought I would throw up or have a cramp. But pregnant women work every day. It just was not fair.”(Armour, 2005) Even though it is hard to admit, the society is a gendered society. Gender discrimination in the workplace did exist and still continues in one form or the other, this in fact obviously ignored by Summers.
