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.
While Wollstonecraft talks about co-education, one can infer that women are at least educated on a basic level. Pizan lives in a society where royalty is still prevalent and societies’ thinking is very narrow. The era that Pizan lives in is very uneducated and women are looked as not having a life unless it benefits the man. Although Wollstonecraft parallels to that in a way, one can tell that women have a greater importance in her time period. Many debates have happened whether or not these women approach feminism for their time period.
I chose the quote above because it showed that women should not use their stereotypical strengths as an argument for equality. It would be like saying those sigma's put on women by non-feminist are all right. Katha Pollitt states that everyone is responsible for " the environment, a more humane workplace, economic justice, social support for children to make the world a better place regardless of who you are. I believe that her beliefs about "difference feminism and women's superiority to men would be a part of making the world a better place, in her eyes. I believe that
In addition, people thought that women are too sensitive when they face to problems so they often solve the problems by their heart than their mind. But people was wrong with that thinking, because the presence of women in leadership position have been increasing during the past decades. According to Stuart Silverstein (1993) a writer of Times website: "The number of American women in management jobs nearly doubled during the 1980s, reflecting
Women do not have mentally tough enough to survive and physically strong enough that is 2 reasons to convince the reader that the author offers. However, although the author give some credibly example to show women get high-stress but it just happened some women. Almost women can work in high stress environment better than men. Darren Gaves give two of three argument is right but overall supporting the last argument are overgenalised and lack
In the speech, “Equal Rights for Women,” Chisholm uses repetition and the pathos appeal to convince us that she is correct and that women should be treated as equal as men. Repetition is used in this speech specifically to inform everyone that women should have the same rights as men do. “Women need no protection that men do not need. What we need are laws to protect working people, to guarantee them fair pay, safe working conditions, protection against sickness and layoffs, and provision for dignified, comfortable retirement. Men and women need these things equally.
Edgell says that women do most decision making frequently on a probably daily basis, but their decisions go unnoticed whereas men make fewer decisions more infrequently but they seem to be the more important decisions such as moving house or buying a car or other serious financial decisions. A radical feminist would say that Edgells study just outlines the fact that we are living in a patriarchal society and that men are viewed more highly and have more power and control in the relationship, and that women are just used for everyday menial tasks. In conclusion, there is much to y for both sides of the argument but it is difficult to decide either way. It appears that there is some equality but we have a long way to go before actual
Actually there are some groups that have no equal opportunities. Therefore equal opportunity is one the most supported justice notions in modern democratic countries. Despite the lots of national and international laws and regulations, some people and groups are still subject to discrimination because of the reasons like race, age, gender, physical or mental handicap, education or religion and have no equal opportunities in work life. Equal employment opportunity involves both workplace nondiscrimination and affirmative action. Equal opportunity has changed the way businesses and organizations recruit, hire, and even act in the working environment.
While sex refers to the biological differences between male and female, gender refers to the socially constructed and variable categories of masculine and feminine. Men are the world leaders, policemen, and private security and military, women are the housekeepers and child caregivers. They are lower paid and work as repairers of the consequences of violence as nurses, psychologists and social workers. The United Nations regard gender equality as a human right. They point out that: empowering women is also an indispensable tool for advancing development and reducing poverty.
Globalization does however empower women to a certain extent by providing jobs and independence, which ultimately boosts the world’s economy. Globalization and economic development can be positive tools in the lives of women but neoliberal ideologies attached to globalization has led to the exploitation of the female labor force everywhere. More specifically, women in places like India and Bangladesh have little or no rights in the workplace and the work they perform has been compared to slave labor. The lack of knowledge plays a huge role in the growth of globalization and neoliberal policies. The western world for the most part has no idea what lies behind the clothes we buy and sell.
