Further to this, it would also depend on at which point in the play we are making our judgement. For example, Katherina may be offending against her society’s expectations about women at the start of Taming of the Shrew, but does not necessarily do this towards the end of the play. It could be argued that in Much Ado about Nothing and The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare presents Beatrice and Katherina as offending against their society’s expectations of women – the expectation that women should be submissive and act somewhat inferior to the male members of society; this also includes the view that women should not be outspoken. One of the only female characters who speak in the first scene of Much Ado is Beatrice, which portrays her to the audience as an outspoken character, and in this way she would be offending against her society’s expectations of women. Beatrice is a woman who openly defies both the courtly and bourgeois traditions of this time, ‘No, uncle, I’ll none: Adam’s sons are my brethren; and, truly, I hold it a sin to match in my kindred’, (II i, 431-55) in this speech to Leonato, Beatrice explains why
Although David Groff makes many connected, smaller arguments, his main agreement revolves around how the stigmas against crying are not doing us any favors in the long run. He argues that these stigmas appear for both men and increasingly for women. Although there is some evidence which leads to the conclusion that part of the reason women cry more than men do is in part caused by hormones and physical matters, Groff makes the point that society is really the main factor in why people limit their crying. Groff focuses on both men and women, stating that although the taboos against crying are worse for men, it is becoming an increasingly viable taboo for women as well no that they are getting into jobs which require emotionlessness. Groff states
As long as that is understood it should not be a problem for each other. And personaly I think you two can talk to whoever you want about whatever, and then you can deal with it if it becomes a problem. But it sounds like the first option is the better one. I see a relationship of two people who are very similar, both with difficult pasts and upon living in close quarters have trouble understanding each others needs. You hold it together with sex, and use anger in arguements to try to force the other person to understand, rather then calmly explain so that they can understand.
Women were deemed incapable to work and function in public because these traits were thought to make women less capable to do work that the men did. Women were thought of as weaker and unable to do things that men did, but still thought to be morally superior to men. Mid-nineteenth century religious views had reinforced this thought to be true. It was because of this that people had thought that women were best suited for the domestic sphere because of their moral superiority. Women were also expected to teach the next generation the necessary moral virtues to ensure the survival of the
Maybe problems occurred and the negative attention is being focused on a certain person, and then they might use a scapegoat to try and escape the the tension and blame. Most people don’t want to face what they did wrong, so they go to scapegoats to relieve their pressure. Jeffrey Sherman of the University of California, Davis, who co-wrote the study, Why We Kick Others When We’re Down, says, "This is one of the oldest accounts of why people stereotype and have prejudice: It makes us feel better about ourselves, when we feel bad about ourselves, we can denigrate other people, and that makes us feel better about ourselves." Frequently, they use scapegoats as an aggression outlet. A person could bash the scapegoat down repeatedly because they know that the scapegoat cannot fight back, resembling a bully.
Mexican and Mexican American women have been overlooked in society, even though the reproduction and maintenance of the laboring classes is dependent upon women. The combined effects of gender and race also contribute to the masking of women’s roles; women of color are doubly subordinated by gender and race. Who is given the right to determine someone else’s future? And who could so grossly under represent the involvement and contributions Mexican women have made to society? The concealing of women’s roles in social production is part of the general tendency to deny working class people’s roles in the building of society.
If it is a result of implicit discrimination due to lifestyle choices, then women's lower earnings result from the fact that women typically take more time off when having children or choose to work fewer hours. If it is explicit discrimination, then the pay gap is a result of stereotypical beliefs, conscious or unconscious, from those who hire and set salaries.This graph depicts the female to male earnings ratio, median yearly earnings among full time. Some other examples of the gender gap are: Women who work part time actually earn more than men who work part
This type of discrimination prevents many from attaining their goals of reaching the American dream. There are people that believe one gender over the other is simply more valuable and useful compared to the other, which unfortunately lead to unequal opportunity. Gender discrimination is usually targeted towards woman in most cases, many believe that women are of weaker nature and therefore cannot perform better than men could. Marissa Salazar had been a recent target of gender discrimination in her workforce, much related to the issue of Mr. Palmer. Gender discrimination leads to psychological and emotional disturbance, resulting in demoralization and descend in performance standards.
Gender discrimination in the workplace did exist and still continues in one form or the other, this in fact obviously ignored by Summers. Gender difference is the product of gender discrimination or gender inequality, not the other around. In fact, gender difference is the main outcome of gender discrimination. There are two reasons for gender difference, first and also the most important is the nurturing climate, the second is cultural differences. In most cultures, men are encouraged to be stoic and to prove their masculinity; on the other hand, women need to be passive, helpless and dependent.
But when it came to women, they believed that being able to teach others was more of a civic duty then anything else. (Dubois & Dumenil, 2005) There were a few limits that were imposed on female education. One of which was that only the wealthy women were allowed formal education. This left women of poor status at a sort of crossroads because they weren’t able to
