Glass Ceiling Stereotypes

In 1986, The Wall Street Journal published an article called “The Glass Ceiling”, which introduced the concept of the Glass Ceiling. The Glass Ceiling has significant message it is conveying, which is the difficulty for women to move up in the industry or workplace hierarchy, due to their sex. I wanted to put this study together because I believe it is very important for the public to put more attention to this, so women can be able to break the glass. Industries and women have been going head to head trying to break this, but it has been going on for so long we believe this glass ceiling has already turned into plastic. When being introduced this idea I wanted to base my paper on researching how these glass ceiling affected women over time

Women being put down by men's stereotypes is an actual problem, but people seem not to notice it because it's such a common thing to see. Williams explains, “It seems women are so used to it they don't notice it anymore”. Its seems like a regular thing because I did not have any clue of what they were talking about until I actually researched it actually started to become apart of the movement. Moffitt explains,“ Some women are just scared to speak up to justice”. Knowing that there's fear in women this creates a small barrier because men know they can have a source of power. When women start standing up they also start to get sexually harassed. Feminist Majority explains, “sexual harassment “puts a woman in her place”, so a corporate environment that tolerates sexual harassment intimidates and demoralizes women executives.” I sometimes get to thinking about how men have such guts to try and overpower women by trying to sexually harass them not only creating fear, but mental abuse. According to The Huffington post, Vagianos explains, “A new survey found that one in three women between the ages of 18-34 has been sexually harassed at work.” How have we let this number increase or even exist? No women should be living in fear of going to work because of being scared of being

Women need to make money as much as the men do. I believe there should be a law where there should be women in higher ranking jobs. Some women work day and night in order to receive a higher education so they can work with the top industries and hopefully someday become the CEO or possibly become the manager, but due to this glass ceiling women might just stay as the basic jobs that they can offer in the workplace. Women have to keep their heads up high to prove to the workplace that they are worthy of working in a high position. Warrell explains, “ It takes continual courage to question the assumptions that underpin our actions, aspirations, and conversations: to think bigger about what's possible, and to lay our volubility on the line for a future that honors our deepest desire to make a meaningful mark in the world.” Women are capable of doing things they just need to have a chance to show they can do it.

In conclusion this research project has opened up my eyes and showed me how much women are underestimated in the workplace. I want to make a change by showing the public and then they can gather up and prove to the industries that a glass ceiling should never exist. If they only knew how many opportunities they are missing out on and how many brilliant ideas they could
