Another assumption is that women often took jobs for the wrong reasons (Gunn and Gullickson, 2007). That statement suggests that Karen’s gender may have been the reason she did not recognize her motivator instead of the fact that she may have just never thought about it. If a person obtains a job that will not gratify their main motivator then that person will be unsatisfied with their job. By making this assumption the article also implies that most women are not satisfied at work .Even though assumptions are drawn from this article, there are a few hypotheses made by the Pursuit of Unhappiness. Hypotheses, Variable, and Operational Definitions One hypothesis
Their focus was lobbying for a constitutional amendment to secure the right to vote for women. Suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who tried securing the vote on a state-by-state basis, had originally sought such an amendment. (Cott). Although in the end Paul did manage to get said amendment passed, she still struggled and battled with doing so for many years of her life. Paul gained a lot of followers and momentum through her very notorious silent picket strikes outside of the White House (“Angels”).
Anger was a magnified topic when she discusses the decision with people of different reasoning and annoyance from being discriminated against every time just because of her choice. She appeals to pathos by using strong words, language choice, and personal connections. In the end, using pathos helped connect the readers to her story better than using logos and ethos would have. When the article starts, immediately a harsher tone sets up the rest of the reading with the author’s use of words and font. Instead of using a regular “okay”, Vernon inserts an “OK” to show her sarcastic anger towards one of her colleagues who disagrees with her opinion.
1. What symptoms exist to suggest that something has gone wrong? There were some key observable signs that things have gone wrong when Syd Gilman who is the Vice President of Marketing at Hy Dairies Ltd was speaking with Rochelle Beauport during her annual performance review. Syd was so fixated that Rochelle would love the marketing research coordinator job position that he failed to recognize Rochelle’s reaction to the news and misperceived her somewhat negative reaction as a positive one. Rochelle had different perceptions and expectations that lead her into a tough decision making process of whether to confront Syd on what she perceived as a possible discrimination issue as she was a visible minority or just simply leave the company altogether.
Professor Calkins English 101 17 March 2012 The Gendered Society Howard president Lawrence H. Summers dew a lot of attention and criticism by giving a speech at a National Bureau of Economic Research luncheon. In the speech, he said that innate difference between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers. Plenty of people were upset with his speech, because they thought it is disrespectful to women. In my opinion, people’s negative reaction to Summers’s speech is justified. There are two aspects to support my opinion, first is the discrimination for women in the workplaces, the second is the nurturing climate.
State prosecutors here in Guanajuato have opened 166 investigations for abortion in 10 years, according to women’s health advocates. Most of them do not reach a judge, but nine women have been convicted for having abortions. They were sentenced to jail, but paid a bond to finish their sentences on parole. In states where antiabortion laws are strictly enforced, there can also be a fine line between charging a woman with abortion and sentencing her for killing a newborn. In the gulf state of Veracruz, the state women’s institute found this year that eight women serving sentences for homicide — killing their babies after they had been born alive — had either had abortions, which has a much lighter penalty, or had miscarriages or stillbirths.
Dear Sammy, I feel remorseful for your appalling actions that you made in A & P, by John Updike. I am writing you for you to inform me on your reasons of doing some of the things that you did. It seems that there was very little reason for you to leave your job in order to protest the “embarrassment” you assumed the girls felt when being confronted by the manager. This was not a wise decision. I understand why you felt like the girls were being embarrassed by your manager, Lengel, when he confronted them about not being properly dressed, but it was not your responsibility to handle the situation the way you did.
Sheila manipulates Millwards in to sacking Eva Smith by using blackmail and financial threats by saying she’d “never go near the place again” and “persuade mother to close our account”. Sheila emphasizes her dislike for Millwards by calling it “the place”. The common noun shows that Sheila is insincere about the shop and thinks that it isn’t of a high standard that upper-class people would expect whilst Eva is working there. Sheila then goes on to say that if Eva was “some miserable plain little creature” she wouldn’t have done it. Through this Priestley is showing the theme of the class system as Sheila is using her higher class to get Eva fired.
Women did not usually participate in political issues, however many were asked to voice their opinion when the taxing of sugar and stamps occurred. When voice their opinions they still must be careful of their words. For example to a letter to her friend, Charity Clark wrote, “she feared, she wrote that her discussion of politics would destroy the ‘Idea you have of [my] female softness’” (Berkin 17) In order for many so save their genteel appeal, women suppressed their thoughts. Ironic how women were asked to speak up and support their cause and when done, there may have been a change they would be judged. Women often
Both would also seem to be in agreement that this disparity should be remedied. Although Tong literally attacks Summers, she seems to slip up at times and she actually confirms some of his speculations. She does this, for example, by stating that women are hesitant to work 80 hours weeks immediately after characterizing this as an ignorant argument. It seems that Tong simply wants the issue to be about discrimination, which is a valid point, but she does so by censoring the opinions of others and by denying even the remotest possibility that Summers might have even one legitimate observation. The contrasts are so evident as to make the similarities pale in comparison and it would seem that the real issues will never be solved unless people can communicate more effectively than Summers and
