Ethical Issues: Tackling The Gender Wage Gap

However, the job experience of women is lessened by the reality of unequal pay. Although women 's rights have drastically improved throughout the years, women continue to experience unfair competition with men in obtaining a job and equal pay. To promote the equality of men and women,

Aladeselu said ¨We empower women when we give them sense of self worth, treat them as equal humans as men, not as property that can be inherited, disposed off at will, not as a slave” (Women contribute a lot to to the society if empowered). This shows that women can be and want to be empowered to help society, but just because they are a girl they can’t. Overall society will be better because of the empowering women we have standing behind

In the world today people choose not to be simply classified as female and male anymore. While this has changed for the better for people to identify themselves however they please , with pronouns comes specific grammar. In Dennis Baron's essay “Facebook Multiples Genders but Offers Users the same Three Tired Pronouns” the author speaks upon the different weighs between gender and grammar. Therefore I claim that as gender is extended correct grammar should follow. Barons essay argues that the availability of gender preference is higher followed by the limit on grammar towards gender.

If women did not stand up for themselves then, women today would not be able to experience all of the freedom they have. Women today are able to receive the education they want and build their own career. However, they do not have the full equality due to men getting paid higher than women along with women getting paid higher than others based on their racial background. Will women ever get paid the same as men do? Or will women continue to be paid less than men?

Men are offered higher salaries as compared to women, because of the belief that they are more talented and capable, even though women perform the exact same task. More often, women are not even the chance to engage in tasks that are considered suitable only for men. An example of such a task is farming where women are only allowed to do basic tasks, but the major ones are considered too ‘manly’ and not apt for

One of these perspectives is analyzing communication through gender. In the book, You Just Don’t Understand, Deborah Tannen (1990) popularized the term “genderlect” to describe the way in which men and women communicate with each other. She suggested that men and women have different styles of conversing, forming two distinct dialects. In a review of Tannen’s book, DeFrancisco (1992) attributed the differing communication styles of men and women to the respective cultures in which they grow up. Because of such gender differences, misunderstanding between men and women creates a gap in the communication process.

Many of these thoughts stem from long-lived stereotypes and how women were treated in the past. Education has become much better, though and men and women both have access to great education. Therefore the reasoning to treat one gender differently from another should lessen. In the past employers could argue that women do not have the knowledge or capability of working for the same amount, but now they

Although she was born into a wealthy household, she did not have a particularly happy childhood. This experience allowed her to empathize better with the less fortunate, in addition to being woman. I think her courage to become an influential woman in the male-dominant political sphere was fueled by her vision of equality. For example, she continues her work in hopes that one day, more women will participate in the government. She was aware of the public’s attention on her.

Duehr & Joyce E. Bono did a research to study whether the stereotypes are changing regarding men , women and managers. When the number of women in management roles increases and organizations place a greater emphasis on diversity, a subsequent change in perceptions of women as leader-like is expected. To study this, the research examined gender and management stereotypes of male and female manager students. The results show that considerable change in manager's views of women over the past 30 years, as evidenced by greater congruence between their perceptions of women and successful managers and stronger endorsement of agentic and task oriented leadership characteristics for women. Stereotypes held by male students changed less, remaining strikingly similar to stereotypes held by male managers 15 years ago.

He relates it to stress because stress results in less achievement, so women with negative body image would stress themselves to look better and would concentrate on their academic performance. This also shows that as women who pursue their higher education are not bothered about the body image issues and are satisfied with their looks and body type and do not try to fit into the societal definition of the ideal women. They are most likely to have a very position body image (Miles, 2009) Alasker and Flammer in their book on the adolescent experiences among the American and Europeans say that a lot of changes come in an adolescent’s body during the age of poverty and the change brings along a lot of consciousness. The way a child perceives the change at that times forms their self-esteem and the way they look at their bodies. They go through the process of accepting change and building a whole new self which is very crucial in the development of the Body Image.

Is the Gender Wage Gap Justified? For as long as women’s rights started to become a hot issue in the 1920’s, and women started to get jobs and vote there has been an inequality. Some people say that it is easily justified as to why there still is a wage gap this far forward in time. However, most people know the truth. Most people will rightfully agree with Hilary Lips, however there are some instances where she is wrong, which will be elaborated on.

With the current elections bringing about many debates on hot topic issues it is no surprise that women’s suffrage has become a battle cry for many presidential candidates. These candidates play to the hopes of many women by promising equal rights for equally qualified male and female workers. These persuasive and motivating arguments for women’s rights calls to question what is the extent of this issue? The reality is that there is a significant wage gap between male and female workers. This wage gap causes men to be paid more than women, even when they do the same jobs and are equally qualified for those jobs.

She questions the gender inequality due to her belief that women are qualified and deserve more. This work is intended to influence the women in society and inspire them to expand themselves as she did, and the men who hold traditionalist views that depict women at a lower standard (POV). In document 11, Chatelet demonstrates the effort that women are capable of devoting in the name of reason, she states “ Do not reproach me for my work on translating Newton’s Principia. Never have I made a greater sacrifice to Reason.”(Doc 11). She shows that if the time and devotion is placed into to doing something, then outstanding work can be

Segregation. Unfairness. That is how they felt in the book, “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett. They dreams that these women have are realistic, they dream of having bigger jobs with better pay, and a broader lifestyle that could be more flexible. “They ain 't rich folks.
