...Gender Wage Gap, and Sex Segregation Gender Exercise #1 During my investigation I noticed that the occupations that I am interested in pursuing cater mostly to males. The professions that interest me are Engineering, Chemistry, and Anesthesiology. I came across an article that discussed the pay differences between male's, and female's in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) profession's. According to a data study provided by the American Chemical Society (ACS) male chemists earned thirty percent more than female chemists. The findings of their research showed that eighty-three percent of the wage gap is due to differences in work ethic, and productivity, while the remaining seventeen percent is because of discrimination, and other unmeasured allegations. The information that I obtained from the National Society of Professional Engineers, in 2004 there were approximately 192,900 female engineers (62,000 were software engineers) throughout the United States, compared to the overwhelming number of men in this profession, at over 1,515,000. Women are more likely to get hired in the environmental, and chemical engineering fields than men are. However, women are less likely to get hired in the mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering professions than men. In 2006 females made up approximately one quarter of all engineers under the age of 25 in the United Stated. After researching the field of Anesthesiology I found that...

...Sex Work In A HIV Prevalent World The anthropological article, Childhood Sexual Abuse and HIV Risk Among Crack-Using Commercial Sex Workers in San Salvador, El Salvador, offers a qualitative and in-depth analysis into the lives of sex workers in the metropolitan area of San Salvador. The purpose of this paper will be to examine the collected data from the article and apply previously discussed anthropological tactics to better understand the given information. The article underscores childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and its connection to adopting prostitution as an occupation, although, through the studied sample group no clear connection could be drawn. It is obvious that, though CSA seems to have contributed to stigmatization and negative feelings that could have led a women to seeking sex work, poverty seems to be a greater determinant of whether a woman became involved in sex work or not. The article comprises of several sections, introducing the issue of what factors may cause initiation to sex work, drug use, and vulnerability to HIV in San Salvador. The basic argument of the article is to establish a relationship between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and increase in HIV risk. Ethnographic interviews of 40 women who were sex workers, crack users, or both were conducted in Spanish. The theoretical framework of the study suggested that girls who ran away at a young age did not actively choose to participate in deviant lifestyles but, rather, they were vulnerable to sex work...

...Where and How, If At All, Should Sex Education Be Conducted What is sex education? Everyone’s definition and concept of sex education is probably different from everyone else’s. An even bigger question is, “where should children learn about sex education?” Some feel that it is the responsibility of the parent to teach their children about the subject. Others feel that it is better learned in school under the guidance of trained teachers who have material such as films, books, and models showing the male and female reproductive organs to help aid them in their teaching. If parents decide to teach sex education at home, where do they begin? Sex into today’s society is different from when they were kids. “Parents need to be totally honest with their child when discussing this issue.” (Schaalma Herman, 2004, 259-269) How do they approach their child and bring up the subject of sex? Once they are engaged in discussion, how to begin talking about topics like masturbation, teen pregnancy, birth control, and STD’s. These subjects could be intimidating for some parents. First, masturbation, what does the child knows about this practice. For many, they see it as something disgusting that old men and perverts do. How do they explain the fact that it is something normal people do for self-stimulation? .” It is more common in young men than in girls. From around puberty, the male start to experience erections in the middle of the night and he naturally massages it to...

...Sexual selection is a “special case” of natural selection, which was introduced by Charles Darwin (who is best known for his evolution theory) in the late 1800’s. The term “sexual selection” is when one sex for certain characteristics in individuals is preferred than the opposite sex with different characteristics. In today’s society choosing the sex of your child is technically possible. Advances in fertility treatments allow doctors to identify male and female embryos. The treatment is an option for parents who either want to avoid passing sex-linked genetic disorders to their children, or for other cultural reasons. The debate for whether or not parents should be allowed to choose the sex of their baby is very heated, but in my opinion parents should not choose the sex of their baby for many reasons. One of the reasons would be the consideration of the population as a whole. The ratio of males to females is roughly 1:1 and that is due to nature choosing the sex for us. If parents were to choose the sex of their baby, there would be a massive affect on the gender balance in the population. For example, many countries such as China, Japan, and Vietnam prefer boys over girls, because in most cases, these countries think men take higher value because they are portrayed as leaders, the one with responsibility, the one who has abilities, is responsible for taking care of the family, bringing wealth to family, etc. On contrast, women are considered weak, submissive, obedient, etc...

...religion, sex, or national origin” are unlawful to discriminate under. A person’s sex and gender need not to match one with another. Some men are more feminine than other men. Sexual orientation indicates his sexual attractions and desire, that’s person’s sexual attraction to other type people of the same as his is. Sex, gender, sexual orientations are interconnected. What is more important for purposes of the title 7 that courts often forcefully draw line between them. In the end sex and gender are protected by title 7, however sexual orientation is not. “Sexual orientation claims arises when an employee suffers discrimination solely on accounts of his or her sexual orientation. Law currently stands; sexual orientation claims are not actionable under title 7. This is true regardless of whether the claim is based on homosexuality, heterosexuality, or bisexuality” (Northwestern Universality Law Review, Title 7). John Smith and Joseph Oncale had almost the same issues when they both were harassed and discriminated at their work places. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, verbal or physical conduct of any sexual nature represent sexual harassments. “When the workplace is permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim’s employment and created an abusive working environment” (Harris v Forklift case study). Smith was insulted and discriminated at the work. Based work place...

...same amount of job as well as reports of sexual advances towards women by a store manager. Discrimination was made towards a 73 year old worker who had worked with the company for more than 50 years but collects less pay than employee doing same job and of lesser age. Such action is unlawful under the Equal Pay Right of 1963. Discrimination exists in the company with respect to hiring and employee management. They discriminate against colour, sex, age and payment. With respect to colour, 3 white males and 3 white females were appointed as store managers. For sex, the interview process was sex biased by asking some questions from female applicants and not asking the male counterpart. Sexual harassment was also reported by females. Considering the alleged sexual advances towards two women and threats of firing except the women socialised, Carter Cleaning Company can be sued for Sexual Harassment under the Federal Violence against Women Act of 1994 .Concerning age, older and younger employees in the company perform the same work.

...will. Today, in 2015, we have more broken marriages than ever before, children without fathers, and more women living below the poverty line than in previous decades. Why is that? Could it be that by having children without marriage, child-rearing can be more difficult than we thought possible? Having children requires being flexible with the child's needs and children are the top priority. Otherwise, why have them? And so this became a terrible problem: children without fathers, left alone at home too often, fending for their own meals, watching too much TV, and spending time with their peers than with family. This became a compromise to women with a desire to get ahead in the workplace. Their children became a problem and their work suffered. So much for doing it all. See the book "Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack." Perhaps this is an extreme comparison, but judging by the crimes, social unrest, broken families, rise in drug intake, bitterness between the sexes, then maybe this is not so extreme an illustration after all. The book was written for a...

...city. Socrates strongly believes that women are inherently capable of performing the same tasks as men, but accepts that they may be inferior in performing these tasks (455c). In his proposal, he states that since similar roles in the city require similar training and education whatever is good for the male should equally also good for the female. The distinction between virtues is non-existent as both sexes have the innate ability to function effectively in the society, when speaking in regards to knowledge and the different parts of the soul i.e ( reason, appetite, spirit). Here Socrates holds that individual should be judjed based on the virtue of their souls, and not mere physical appearance . a mans virtue is not brought about by his sex, virtue remains virtue regardless of a mans gender, socrates holds this postion due to this the best state must provide women the opportunity to govern. Socrates holds that role playing in this new just city should be equal in order for there to be unity and peaceful co-existence amongst the citizens. If a woman possesses the qualifications of being a guardian in the city, she must be educated in the same respect as other guardians, irrespective of her gender. Even though Socrates is fully aware that some or most women may lack physical strength he argues that biological and sexual differences are not nearly significant in running his proposed Utopian society ( ) as opposed to intellectual ability and moral...

...HCS 320 COMMUNICATION THEORY PAPER Axia College of University of Phoenix Instructor:…………. Date:…………. [Page Break]Communication Theory Paper When working in an organization such as that of Hospice, effective communication is one of the key aspects concerning the care of the patients involved. As in any health care setting, an organization designated to hospice care may face challenges when it comes to communication because of gender differences, cultural differences, and in some cases the inability to communicate effectively with the individuals obtaining service. Circumstances such as these may affect how certain tasks are completed within the organization, whether or not an individual wants to continue using hospice services, and how well employees, patients, and family members interact together. Therefore, to understand some of the challenges facing this type of organization in accordance to communication we will discuss how gender and cultural differences influence communication within the organization Legacy Hospice when it comes to coworkers, managers, patients, families, and caregivers, and improvements that can be made if any. Gender Differences Females When working in an organization dedicated to hospice care one is most likely to encounter both male and female employees who are dedicated to the care and health of the patients involved however, they are also going to encounter different approaches when it comes to styles of communicating.

...arguments: that GAD is the best approach to address the inequalities women experience in developing countries, and that the WID approach must also play a supportive role in addressing these inequalities. A crucial difference between the GAD approach and the WID approach is that GAD focuses on gender whereas WID focuses on women[2]. Although many people may think this is the same thing, they are mistaken. Gender is a cultural construct. It is the set of dispositions, behaviours, and roles that a given culture considers appropriate for each sex. Sex, on the other hand, is different from gender. Sex is the physical and biological attributes that differentiate between males and females. The category of women, as focused on by the WID approach, is clearly a category of sex and not gender. This is a major flaw in the WID analysis, for it assumes that women will have common, homogeneous interests simply because of their sex. This ignores that women have varied and often conflicting interests depending on their class, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.[3] However, there are obviously areas where women have common interests; yet rather than calling these ‘women’s interests’, a more appropriate term would be ‘gender interests’. These are the interests that women or men share due to the specific concerns surrounding their gender roles and expectations.[4]...
