New industries, naval, and army bases were being built during the home front. Women played a huge role in this because if they didn’t stay home and take over for the men, they wouldn’t have the money to raise their families. “Only one in nine of the 45,000 women who signed up were selected for duty overseas” (Suite101) so a large percentage of women stayed back home. The National Selective Service controlled the women and men. They would only make the decisions for them “who could join up and who could not, where they could work, and when they could change jobs.” (Thecanadianencyclopedia) It was a tough life, but it was the only way to support their husbands when their off to war.

INTRODUCTION Over the past decade, nursing shortage has been an epidemic. Facilities often find it difficult to obtain adequate staffing. In an attempt to correct this problem, many facilities have decided to utilize mandatory overtime. Overtime is defined as “the time one spends doing their job in addition to their regular scheduled hours” (Dictionary.com, n.d.). Once in a while overtime may be beneficial, but logbooks indicate that it is been used too frequently in hospitals and other nursing facilities.
Cultural deprivation means when children are deprived from things what they need. This can include the lack of values and support they get from their parents, which can influence on socialisation skills. It can be argued that due to lack of family structure, social cultural and soft skills pupils are less likely to underachieve. Cultural deprivation is a theory that many working-class children are inadequately socialised and therefore lack the ‘right’ culture appropriate for a successful education. Many people argue that development is vital in the younger years in the child’s life, and the ability to solve problems and apply ideas help in the long-term.
His mother suffers in a couple ways. She is in and out of jobs frequently and depends on her bosses to help her through life. Erick recalls that “she almost always [gives] the man her number if he [is] wearing a suit (Gilb 546). The mother is obviously in need of assistance and accepting help where she can find it. Based on research from About Families, single mothers of ethnic minority are least likely to gain financial assistance, and don’t receive much social support (About 15).
Traditional gender roles and the workplace From the beginning of time, traditional gender roles have existed all around the world and they vary between cultures. But what is a traditional role? Traditional roles are behaviors, attitudes and values that society sets as appropriate or inappropriate for men and women and are transmitted from generation to generation (Wikipedia). Many of these roles are maintained over the years, but others are modified and adapted to current environment. In most of the countries around the world years ago women had to stay at home, take care of kids and do the home chores (women were not allowed to work); while men were supposed to be working and earning money for the family, but this thinking have changed through the years.
Since most of the men were off fighting, the women were needed to stay home and run things so that the economy would not completely fall apart. Before the war, women mostly depended on men for financial support. But with so many men gone to battle and then dying, plenty of women had to go work to support themselves. They helped provide food and other supplies to the military, served as telephone operators, and worked as journalists. Some women went to work in factories while others worked as trolley car drivers.
Men are no longer the sole earners for the family. Many stay at home to raise the children. Women are no longer expected to take on the full-time responsibility of maintaining the family home. The need for dual income to earn a family-wage is a near necessity. Many women out-earn their male counterparts in today’s economy.
PHILOSOPHY OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PAPER The early childhood education actually evolved due to three main reasons. Firstly, after World War II many women entered the workforce and were unable to be at home with their children to educate and care for them. The economic conditions at that time didn’t allow them to be unemployed, so they had to work to earn income. Secondly, after sometime, there was a trend of both parent working not because of any financial problems, but to develop as career oriented persons. Thirdly, single parent families created after an increase in the divorce rate greatly increased the demand of day-care centers and preschools.
