Unfortunately the recent report tells us that only by 2095 we can achieve the full gender equality on the workplace. However, of course, we could try and shorten that time. It is obviously important to have not only males in the business world, because this way we miss out on many opportunities that women could bring to the world, due to the different perception of values. When for example men are driven by mostly material success, women tend to build up relationships and friendly environment on the workplace. However, sometimes emotions and nurturing can affect the business in a negative manner.
Why is this? We are altered by looks, no matter what. And as many would like to say that what’s on the inside is where it counts (which it does, no doubt), we has humans can’t help to be more generous in a way to the attractive men and women. Certain companies only hire people based on their looks such as Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hooters, and international model companies.

Traditional imagery of the once nurturing housewife has been overridden in the media with frequent depictions of women as sexual objects. These objectifications are solely based on their physical appearance and sexual appeal (Caruthers, 2006). The socially constructed myths and ideologies in modern day society implant onto woman that they are or should be concerned about their appearance. This is what influences a guy’s impression.

Some example of discrimination are, sex, religion, gender, color, and sexual harassment (Bennett-Alexander, Hartman 2007). Discrimination is an unfortunate reality within the workplace in the United State, and title VII and its amendments will help deter the employers from this action. Without title VII employers would be taking advantage of their employees by only hiring who they feel are capable of doing the job whether they can or not, or if they have the qualifications or not.

She and her collaborators asked bosses to rate how extroverted they considered themselves and then studied how their teams worked. They found that extroverts were more dominant, drove conversations and were less receptive to new ideas. Introverts, on the other hand, listened to ideas, internalized them and were able to improve team performance. Gino said that introverts demonstrate superior performance when they are leading a team of proactive workers. "If you're working in a team that has lots of knowledge, where people are proactive [and] suggesting ideas for improvement, you would do better for the team if you took a backseat position and took the approach of an introvert, who is very careful in listening to suggestions."
