Women throughout history have undergone specific personal experiences that have constrained them within a society that epitomizes the dehumanization of women through forced social expectations. My mother reiterates this continual theme as a woman in the US and abroad who have experienced constraint from living in a man's world but has also benefited from woman’s liberation within her culture/home life, as well as, education/the workforce. Through each of these three aspects of her life, she was able to experience forms of liberation, as well as, constraint based on a variety of factors which have related to many different readings we have had the opportunity to study in class. Her personal experiences have related to the experiences of many

A thorough evaluation of the higher education evidently reveals that there are diverse factors that need to re-evaluate as suggested by Charles Murray. Although the facts are based upon a misinterpretation of what colleges entails in the essence that they are not substantially equipping graduates with the necessary life skills hacks. Instead of cultivating capable individuals in the society, college’s distinct purpose has been to equip skillful graduates into diverse careers they wish pursue. Through Murray’s argument, it is evident that emphasis has been put into wrong issues in the sense that the society should focus more on producing capable individuals rather than flooding the economy with job seeking graduates with no life hack skills. The market is changing and so is the job markets, many people are equipped on following certain procedure that will not be as effective in the future. The ability to
In the short story The Circuit, and the article Will India’s proposed rules of child labor help or hurt children?, it is evident that children shouldn’t be allowed to work full days as an alternative of going to school due to the loophole in child labor laws and the enjoyable opportunities school provides children with. To start off, the author of Will India’s proposed rules of child labor help or hurt children? informs, “In Surat, a fast-growing city of 4.6 million, the bosses of textile factories that make cloth regularly tell labor inspectors that the boys working in the factories are relatives” (2). This quote displays that the new child labor proposal has a loophole in which the bosses of factories can easily say that the kids working in the
In the United States, there has become a shortage of skilled labor in the workforce. This shortage can be explained by multiple factors that play important roles in the labor force. These factors can play a role in all jobs in the workforce, but are impacting the skilled labor workers most harshly. Some of the factors include benefits and education. The shortage starts with education and continues on with the reduction in income along with benefits. Skilled labor workers are being forgotten in the hustle of society, which is a tragedy. These American workers are integral part of our society and should not be forgotten.
Education is something that people have always been needed. Education has many benefits and has positive impact in our lives. An educated person is an asset for any country. In today’s world, human capital is considered the best national resource. On one hand, he can explore better opportunities for himself, and on the other hand, the entire nation would get benefited from his works.
Nemko firstly describes how there are millions of people who do what they love yet they barely make it to the middle class living, nor can they pay off their student loans. This is because “too many people crave the same few careers...Employers in these fields get...hundreds of applicants for each job” making it more difficult for a person to obtain their dream job. The author further supports his statement by explaining that the employers in those fields treat their employees very badly; because they can be easily replaced by a new, qualified employee. Contrastingly, in a more mundane job, the employer is more likely to propose better working conditions, improved treatment, and higher pay. Nemko then indicates that most people only want the status from a job, rather than the treatment. The reader is reminded that “status is often the enemy of success”. The author concludes with a step-by-step instruction to self employ and to create career
Health inequalities are preventable and unjust differences in health status experienced by certain population groups. People in lower socio-economic groups are more likely to experience chronic ill-health and die earlier than those who are more advantaged. Health inequalities are not only apparent between people of different socio-economic groups – they exist between different genders and different ethnic groups (“Health inequalities,” n.d.).

This expands traditional studies on training which predominantly explore the influence of a variety of demographic factors, firm specific factors, and structural labor market characteristics (see for example Offerhaus, Leschke and Schömann (2010), Blundell, Dearden, and Meghir (1996), Wilkens and Leber (2003)). However, controversial statements about the influence of locus of control on training can be discovered in the literature. On the one hand, some articles verify that differences in the motivation to engage in training and the actual participation in training can be attributed to personality traits including locus of control to a certain degree (see for instance, Fouarge, Schils, and Grip (2013), Offerhaus (2012), Borghans et al. (2008), Borghans, Meijers, and ter Weel (2008), Colquitt, LePine, and Noe (2000)). On the other hand, there exist few studies in the literature which state that personality traits play no significant role in individuals’ decision on participation in further employment-related training. For instance, Görlitz and Tamm (2011) demonstrate the complementary relationship between education and training and conclude that tasks performed at work and job complexity are strong predictors of training participation while personality traits are not. Therefore, further examination is needed in order to corroborate the linkage between
Social Change in Modern Society, this book was written by M.N Srinivas. Originally it was delivered in May, 1963 as the Rabindranath Tagore Memorials Lectures in Berkely.

The world has evolved greatly. With globalization, the world has become a planetary village. This planetary village rely on human beings with a certain level of education. A good education has become an indispensable key However, for a good education, an excellent system of education is needed. More and more countries are emerging on the economic as well as the educational level. As Nelson MANDELA said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Many countries have understood that fact. Mostly African countries start realizing that their economy depend on young, educated young.IN SENEGAL, education began one of the most domain to invest in. SENEGAL is a country in western Africa with an area of 196,722 km
Even today, unemployment is one of India’s most crucial socio-economic problems. Unemployment is the phenomenon where a person is not gainfully employed in a productive activity (Sethi and Andrews, 2011). It can be voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary unemployment refers to a person being unemployed by choice and not by compulsion. Such people are usually not considered unemployed since it’s voluntary. Involuntary unemployment refers to people that are capable and willing to do job but are unable to find work.
Prior to independence, the educational system in India was of ten years consisting of middle and high schools. English, Vernacular languages, Mathematics, History, Geography and Science were the major subjects to be taught. After Independence the educational system of the country was critically examined by the University Education Commission, set up in 1948, under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The Commission revealed that secondary education is the weakest link in the chain of the educational system of the country. Subsequently, the Secondary Education Commission (1953) was set to examine the weaknesses of secondary education system. The Commission found that “the curriculum is bookish, and examination- centred with an over-emphasis
Unemployment in Kenya is attributed to a number of factors that include: rapid growth of the population and the labour force, skill mismatch, information problems in the labour market, structural adjustment programs, slow or declining economic growth, and the labour market setup, among others. High population growth rate in Kenya has resulted in a relatively young population and a large population of youth in the population of the working age (Njonjo, 2010). This increase in the youthful population and increasing labour force has led to labour supply outstripping demand. Consequently, unemployment, especially among the youth, has surged. In particular, high population growth has resulted in higher levels of unemployment.
