The ultimate goal of this population is to control everything in order to eliminate or avoid the unexpected This means even the work place women are expect to look and act like women, this means suits that have skirts. Masculinity Is the different between the roles played by men and women? In Mexico the men are almost always in charge. The work place is not a expectation to this rule in most cases the men are the boss at work. They are more competitive by being brought up to think that they have to be more competitive.
Both sexes worry a lot about how the other views them in terms of attractiveness. Haydar saw these behaviors in her own workplace, “New York exemplifies what’s wrong with our image obsessed society, women showed up to work in backless halter tops and were fawned over by male coworkers” (465). Much of the effort women put into their daily regime is all to be noticed and accepted. In comparison, Devor explains, “Members of both genders are believed to share many of the same human characteristics, although in different relative proportions” (388). American society for a long time now tried to keep the gender status at an equal level, but if either side can learn to no confine themselves to such extreme guidelines then there will come a greater sense of accomplishment.
Before the US invaded Iraq, Riverbend “[worked] in an Iraqi database/software company” where she “made as much money as [her] two male colleagues and [received] an equal amount of respect from [her] manager” (Riverbend 22). When she visited her company after the war, however, she was told that “females weren’t welcome [at the company]” anymore because they “‘couldn’t be protected’” (Riverbend 24). She was a woman, and thus the company did not want “to be responsible for what might happen to [her]” at work (Riverbend 24). Riverbend was no longer seen as an independent, self-sufficient individual, but rather as someone who needed to be protected and watched over. In response to this realization, Riverbend “cried bitterly all the way home,” which demonstrates how much she truly values her independence (Riverbend
The fact that she was a woman affected her a lot. Middle Eastern societies treat women very much different in comparison to the American society. Ellen wanted to become one of the top executives at the company, but this was almost impossible due to the fact that she was a woman. Moore lived many experiences where employees didn’t accept what her decisions where and even got segregated from male groups. After two years, Ellen was asked by the General Manager to join the operations area on one of two managerial positions that were available.
The top management of the company were stakeholders in the company, making them virtually irreproachable. Employees who worked directly for the top management such as assistants, secretaries, and receptionists tended to be almost exclusively younger attractive women. The company was a service related industry with many branch offices, so the bulk of the company resided at locations other than the main office where she worked. She then detailed her work environment including the interaction with co-workers, both peer and superiors. When she began working for the company everybody was nice and supportive of her, but she noticed a high employee turnover amongst those working for top management.
According to Denise Cormier currently women hold over fifty 50 percent of management and professional positions. Unfortunately, these highly educated and capable women are leaving positions of power and prestige in growing numbers. Studies have shown the financial benefits of women leaders in corporations versus all male leadership are still ostracized in the boardroom. Equally disturbing is the thought that women were leaving to pursue a family, so, one must wonder if there were exodus of men would the same belief be assumed (Cormier, 2007)? Cormier further determine thorough the interview of forty female from senior management positions to Chief Operating Officers from a variety of industries to determine what was causing the exodus.
When we talk about conditions and the environment in the work place and in society in general there is one issue that we can not fail to see, which is the fact of the difference between men and women in many aspects, there is an issue that some people tend to believe, that there is no fairness between male and females competing for a position or a job in organizations. Then questions take place in peoples mind; is it fair that men make more money than women do, even though they both have the same qualifications? Or is it possible that women are less likely than men to get promoted? Is there a chance that women start at lower positions in the work place than men do? Everyone is entitled to have an opinion but discrimination in the work place
Do you agree with the view that, in terms of employment opportunities, women did not gain ‘any significant advantage from their wartime experience’? Many women, especially shorthand typists and munitions workers, earned for more than before the war and gained greater economic independence. Many women worked away from home were they experienced a sense of liberation from their restricted home lives. Trade unions initially opposed the dilution of labour but eventually recruited many more women. 350,000 women were in unions in 1914, but 600,000 by 1918.
In the business world, if a woman is assertive and says, "It will be this way, and we will do it this way' she may be called a bitch; whereas if a man says the same thing, he is admired as a leader. This is something that women in the business realm are having to work with all the time. You get nothing achieved whatsoever if you don't get assertive and aggressive and state what must be done; but, if you do that, you run the risk of putting up the backs of people who are threatened by
