Gender inequality is a major problem in the workplace. For numerous reasons, women face discrimination at the workplace and they are treated in ways that prevents them from building and growing a meaningful career.

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...

Introduction

The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013).

PRISON DISCRIMINATION

The prison system within the American judicial system is tainted and full of discrimination.

All humans are unique despite their social background, ethnic race as well as the language they speak. Therefore, this raises a question as to why is there is a social divide amongst humans, and why it continues to develop over the years. These questions are some, but a few of the overwhelming thoughts that both academic scholars and politicians have had a difficult time ...

Conflicts are inevitable in all aspects of life in the modern world. Perhaps, this has been the case since the wake of humankind because human reasoning and prejudices are not heterogeneous.

For instance, conflicts can be classified on the basis of whether or not they are helpful to the parties involved or to the institutions to which such parties are affiliated. In this case, the conflicts can be classified as either constructive or negative conflicts. Constructive conflicts are those associated with ...
