...Female education is the need of the hour. Without educating the women of the country we can't hope for a developed nation. Women play a vital role in the all round progress of a country. If we want to make democracy successful, women must be educated. They are the real builders of happy homes. It is said that if we educate a man, we educate a man only, but if we educate a woman, we educate the whole family. This highlights the importance of female education. It is a fact that women are the first teachers of their children. It is in their lap that the children receive the very first lessons. Hence, if mothers are well-educated, they can play an important role in shaping and moulding of their sons and daughters. Napoleon was once asked, what the great need of France was. He simply answers, "Nation's progress is impossible without trained and educated mothers. If the women of my country are not educated, about half of the people will be ignorant." Such was the opinion of Napoleon about educating the women- folk. Our opinion too must not differ from Napoleon. We must give up our conservative outlook and create an atmosphere in which not a single woman remains uneducated. Women have three major roles to perform in the course of their life. They have to discharge their duties as good danghters, good wives and good mothers. Apart from these important duties, they have to prove themselves as good citizens of a free democracy. Hence, it is necessary to give ...

...Female Education in the Early Republic Dr. Benjamin Rush was an advocate for a republican form of government after the Revolutionary War because he believed it was a way to distinguish the United States from Britain. As a part of the republicanism philosophy that he was promoting, he advocated for the proper education of women through many speeches including one influential speech called “The Education of Republican Women.” Dr. Benjamin Rush had many thoughts about the education of women, which included not reading novels, using ornamental accomplishments to yield principles and knowledge, and to help promote republicanism in the United States. Dr. Rush wanted to discourage young American women from reading novels because he thought they didn’t apply American life. He didn’t think that reading these novels filled with “extravagant love, jealousy, ambition or revenge” would help the American women in the life that she was facing. Dr. Rush didn’t dismiss all novels, but he did dismiss the subject matter of the novels. He believed that their time would be better spent studying concrete subjects that would help them work in the home and raise their children better, rather than wasting their time reading frivolous things that wouldn’t be helpful. Dr. Rush “tended to link a woman's need for knowledge to their duty as wives and mothers” and the topics talked about in novels didn’t pertain to their duties. He thought that women should be educated in things that would help...

...partial. I have turned over various books written on the subject of education, and patiently observed the conduct of parents and the management of schools; but what has been the result?--a profound conviction that the neglected education of my fellow-creatures is the grand source of the misery I deplore, and that women, in particular, are rendered weak and wretched by a variety of concurring causes, originating from one hasty conclusion. The conduct and manners of women, in fact, evidently prove that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers which are planted in too rich a soil, strength and usefulness are sacrificed to beauty; and the flaunting leaves, after having pleased a fastidious eye, fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity. One cause of this barren blooming I attribute to a false system of education, gathered from the books written on this subject by men who, considering females rather as women than human creatures, have been more anxious to make them alluring mistresses than affectionate wives and rational mothers; and the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this specious homage, that the civilized women of the present century, with a few exceptions, are only anxious to inspire love, when they ought to cherish a nobler ambition, and by their abilities and virtues exact respect. In a treatise, therefore, on female rights and...

...ASSIGNMENT ONE | | | | Entrepreneurial Leadership begins with a vision, an overall idea for ho to make their business ideas a success, and then they passionately pursue it. Profit-oriented means recognizing that the business comes first. Once profits are generated, the entrepreneur can make decisions about how the profits can be used – to expand the enterprise. Entrepreneurship is not about taking risks - it always has been about identifying and avoiding or mitigating the risks. It is the media and movies that have created this romantic idea of a risk taking entrepreneur. http://merefundae.blogspot.com/2008/10/risk.html BILL Gates and Paul Allen lunched Microsoft with the vision of a computer on every desk and in every home all running Microsoft software. Their vision helped Microsoft became the world’s largest marketer of computer software. It guided the company and provided clear direction for employees as Microsoft grew, adapted, and prospered in an industry characterized by tremendous technology change. In a new book called Leap, author Rick Smith recounts how Bill Gates started Microsoft with a combination of experience, calculation, and luck. Smith argues that the approach is the opposite of big risk-taking: entrepreneurs like Gates spend years validating an opportunity and minimizing their risk. Gates had validation that both he and Allen were highly competent with this new technology, and he could see that the topside potential was huge. Far from...

...In the past females have achieved less well than boys at higher levels in the education system, then during the 1990', the girls over took boys at all levels in the education system. The percentage of females in the UK achieving two or more A-levels or equivalent has increased from 20% in 1990 to 42% in 2006. Over the same time period, the percentage of males achieving the same level increased from 18% to 33%. On the other hand, there still continues to be a large difference in the choice of subjects by males and females. Even with the national curriculum being restrictive in the lower levels, meaning both male and females do the same subjects, when they get to a-levels and degree level, both male and females still tend to choose different subjects. At A-level males are more likely to study subjects such as; business studies, politics, economics and technical subjects, whereas females are more likely to study subjects such as; English and Modern Languages, and a large percentage also tend to choose Sociology and Psychology. Sociologists argue that these patterns of achievement and subject choice are the result of factors both within the education system and wider society. These changes within the education system are seen as the result of gender differences in education, although, external factors such as the impact of feminism, changes in the job market may have also influenced the increase in girls grades within education. Firstly, it may be argued that the way pupils are...

GENDER DISCRIMINATION AND WOMEN’S DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA Introduction Gender is a common term where as gender discrimination is meant only for women, because females are the only victims of gender discrimination. Gender discrimination is not biologically determined but it is determined by socially and the discrimination can be changed by the proper and perpetuate efforts. Denial of equality, rights and opportunity and suppresment in any form on the basis of gender is gender discrimination. Half of the world’s population is females. They are doing two-third of work of the total work in the world but received only one-tenth of the world’s total income. Nearly two-third of the women is...

...individuals focus on the assets they can bring to society, others are getting involved and letting education, public policy, and the workforce shape them into strong and responsible people. These men and women are becoming prestigious leaders in society and are wasting no time trying to get to the top of the corporate ladder. Gender is not only shaped by what we learn at home, but it also helps us appreciate our worth. For instance, women were not able to receive the same education as men in the earlier days, but once they were able to become educated things changed tremendously. In a classroom setting there are different instruments used for learning such as, chalk boards, art supplies, books, etc. These items do not necessarily shape the gender, but the students use them in different ways. Boys are said to participate more in class than girls and show more interest in math and competitive learning. Boys interact more in the classroom than girls and it is said that they have more confidence (Sapiro, 2003). In classrooms there are also décor that enhances the learning experiences of the students. For instance, a history class usually has pictures of famous people that have made or been a part of history. There may be pictures up of men more than women because of the laws that clearly separated different actions regarding both genders. Learning about history may help the female students oftoday; this may make the girls...

...fortune 1000 companies were women. That means out of one thousand people only fifty-one of them were female and nine hundred and forty-nine of them were male. From a sociological stand point it is believed that this occurs because of the glass ceiling theory. The glass ceiling is the unseen, yet unbreakable barrier that keeps women from rising to the upper rings of the corporate ladder, regardless of their qualifications or achievements, because those jobs are thought of as male oriented. However if you look at the opposite effect in the glass escalator and look at males taking jobs in predominantly female oriented positions rise higher and faster in their profession than their female counter parts in male dominated carriers.(Bellenger) What about qualifications however? Is it not possible that those men have more skill and education for those carriers? Actually no. Women have been found to go to college more than men do. (Forbes) In America the pay gap between men and women is atrocious as women make only seventy-seven cents to the dollar. “In 2012, the median earnings of American women working full time year-round were $37,791. American men earned a median income of $49,398.”(Bassett) In predominantly female work trades such as registered nurses “both surveys, The American Community Survey and the national sample servey, showed that unadjusted male salaries were higher than female salaries every year by an average of approximately $10,000. Male adjusted salaries were, on average...

...Questions 1. Vickers main topic of “Where the Boys Aren’t” is about the growing gap between male and females enrolling and attending college. “At colleges across the country, 58 women will enroll as freshmen for every 42 men. More men than women drop out, the ratio after four years will be 60-40, according to projections by the Department of Education.” 2. Vickers believes that schools are “not paying enough attention to the education of males.” Brian A. Jacob of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government has a statistical analysis that “suggests it is boys’ lack of skill in non-cognitive areas that is the principal cause of the gap.” Vickers believes Title IX, federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity, is keeping men away from college. Vickers believes the Department of Education sees no problem and are not going to “take their heads out of the sand unless forced to.” 3. Vickers believes the shortage of males in college will be harmful to the social and economic world. Economically to the American workforce, where employers will “have to turn to foreigners.” Vickers also believes women “won’t find educated male peers to marry.” 4. Vickers intended audience are parents of white male children. I believe Vickers is persuasive towards that audience to make them start caring about education. She could have given optional steps that parents can take to avoid the loss of ambition these males are obviously...

...makes is what a woman earns in the average workplace (Gender). This is a twenty-three percent gap in the pay between genders (Gender). Some claim that the gender pay gap is a “myth” or is just made up; however, it is not (Perry and Biggs). Why is this still happening? Why are the genders not being treated and respected equally? . Today, in the twenty-first century, it is ridicules and unacceptable that women are still only earning seventy-seven cents to every dollar a man earns, and this needs to change today. A male and female with the same education, same job and position, and that work the same hours are earning different wages. In specific, women are earning on average seventy-seven cents to every dollar a man earn (Gender). Those who oppose this idea and claim that Is not the most important issues for us to be dealing with as a country. Some may say that we should focus on the war on drugs, maybe tax issues, or even making higher education more easily available an affordable to all. All of these issues are important, however, the gender pay gap is important, why should a man earn more than a woman for the same job? This is very demeaning to women saying that this issues is not worth the time of day to be fixed. More and more women are joining the workplace every day; working to support a family, pets or maybe even just themselves. That twenty-three percent gap will add up to nearly $5,000 annually on average that women deserve to get (Gender). Women generally will...

...the candidate recommended by the board, we cannot ignore the fact that the Transportation agency has a history of only promoting male employees. The culture within this organization must be changed! In looking at the EEO Considerations table A, the percentage of female employees are alarming. Taking a deeper look at the data reveals that there are more women in positions of office or clerical roles than in Professional and/or technical roles, which would indicate to me that there is an appalling stereotype in action here where people in positions of power (ie Males in this case) believe that women are better suited for non-professional roles, thereby pigeonholing an entire sex of individuals. During the interview process, it was noted that during the second round of interviews there was not one female on the second panel, whereas on the first panel there was at least one. This is concerning, since the final offer for the position would likely come from the second round/second panel of interviewers. Also, Joyce was the first woman to hold the position of RMV; she was a trailblazer and a leader. When she initially applied for the Road Dispatcher position she did not meet the full requirements, in terms of her education. So, she made a move to the RMW I role and then took college courses in order to become qualified for the Road Dispatcher position which would prove to me how motivated she is and how badly she wants to position. Finally, one of the panelists seemed to not like...

...discrimination in education. In fact, the words “athletics” and “sports” are not even stated in the aforementioned amendment. One positive consequence of Title IX regarding education is the elimination of admission quotas based on gender. Now all universities reviewed male and female applications equally. Lynne Ford argues that now “more women than ever before are enrolled in colleges and universities,” because statistics from 1979 indicate that “the number of women surpassed the number of men enrolled in college for the first time, and the upward trend has continued ever since.” However, one of the most detrimental inequalities between men and women was the wage or earning gap. Even though women have become a vital part of the American workforce due to the high demand for workers during World War II, females do not always earn as much as their male coworkers. This earning gap can be viewed as a lack in education equality. Thus, many feminist organizations and advocacy groups for...

...can affect them so greatly? This has been occurring throughout history and still is happening today. But in order to approve upon this subject and help people become more prepared for life we have to look at the past, present, and what content or knowledge the opposite gender and your gender are missing. In the past your gender had a lot to do with how much education you received and what you were taught. For example, in Colonial times in America boys learned based on their wealth/social status. Poor boys usually only went to school until they were of working age (8-10) however the rich ones would most likely...

...extreme hardships including the lack of education, emotional adversity, and poor social skills. The emotional and social effects of early marriage are varied, but one of the most common outcomes is the withdrawal of girls from formal education. When a girl reaches the age around ten, her parents have already arranged a wedding for her and have taken her out of school to prepare the girl to be wed and to have children. At the age of ten a girl is not fully matured, nor is she well educated. Education is one of the largest losses to a girl if she is married young. Not having a full education like other children brings many hardships to the girl. Taking a girl away from school to marry and to have children limits her opportunities to develop as an individual. After getting married and having a child, a lot of times the girl will want to go back to school to further her education, but most schools will refuse to take in a girl if she is married or has a child. These girls that now have a family at a young age, have to work to earn a living, but since they are denied an education, they are not qualified for most jobs that are available around them. Not only does a girl lose her education, but she also experiences an emotional adversity. From the point of birth, girls are made to think that their only job in life is to get married and to have children. Being forced to marry someone can often create unhappiness in both the male and female. If they are unhappy with each other then...
