There have been various women’s empowerment organizations around the globe that have been founded with the aim of addressing women needs and ...

Is the word man, restricted just to the representation of the male gender and woman to the female gender or is there any evidence of differentiation between the two major human species? Primarily there are mixed notions about the use of the word sex and gender to distinguish men and women. Sex is the genetic demarcation of male and female whereas gender is a range of anatomical, psychological and behavioral characteristics distinctive between masculinity and femininity. Today, however, as males and females, we expect things, of each other which our ancestors would never have expected (Lofas, MacMillan, 1995).

There has been an increased controversy surrounding policies that govern women serving in the Military. Of questionable concern is the award of roles to women as far as positions are concerned (Desmarais 23). Policies exist in the military that prevent women from serving direct combat positions because it is specified by Congressional Acts, presidential directives, and department of defense (DoD) policies (Sheppard, and Waggener 2). While many are fighting for gender, such policies do little in offering “protection” to women that they promote inequality and discrimination. Policies in the United States Military bar women from combat MOS such as ...

Gender inequality is an issue that stems out from either distinction which can either be empirically grounded or at times socially constructed. The purpose of this paper ...

1. Purpose
Gender differences should not affect treatment in the workplace but unfortunately, I as well as countless numbers of women have experienced this trauma. There are many instances and forms that gender inequality exposes and some refer to the unequal values assigned to men and women when formulating laws and policies in the society as well as in the workplace. The workplaces in Saudi Arabia are filled with these unequal gender practices that impose the artificial glass ceiling in Saudi Arabia and other countries which hinder the progress of women in the workplace. The research in this paper ...

Research Purpose

It has to be reckoned that there has been an ongoing debate that essentially focuses on the position of the two genders in workplace. The fact that the society is governed by the patriarchal parameters and practices goes on to complicate the matter. Often it has been opined that women are on the receiving end of the gender bias and they face discrimination in many spheres of life. One can very well be reminiscent of the struggle of the women of the world society for gaining right to suffrage- something that testifies to the discriminatory standards of the society ...

Abstract

Discrimination at the work place as a result of sex orientation is a common occurrence in virtually all countries. Hiring, promotion and employee identification are in most cases biased on one’s sexual orientation making homosexuality and same-sex marriages an important issue with regards to employment today. Homosexuality and same-sex marriage, however, do not have a rich history as there is avowedly very little about them in the past. The two are nonetheless some of the most hotly debated issues currently; debates that have seen the enactment of several laws in the world over that either prohibit or allow homosexuality and same ...

Until the mid-1800s in the United States, the woman’s role as subservient to the man as wife and mother changed little. As was the case from the earliest history of human civilization, most women typically have enjoyed less social, economic and legal rights than their male counterparts. In fact, women were generally recognized as having the same intellectual abilities, with being a wife and mother as their most significant professions. As in Victorian England, a woman lost her ownership of property upon marriage and if a married woman left her husband, she was economically and socially powerless. Women who did not ...

The Middle East has been a region that has been in a state of crisis for over a century now. Since the redefining of its political boundaries post World War I, the prolonged conflict between Israel and Palestine to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the region has been the site of conflicts based on a wide range of justifications. Dictatorships, religion, land disputes, possession of weapons of mass destruction, the subjugation of populace, and, arguably, oil have been some of the common war points. However, just how true these justifications of war are depends greatly on the perception of the Middle East, its ...
