Essays on Discrimination Against

The Women’s Rights Movement arrived at its climax in 1970s and 1980s. However, there is still gender bias against women in the workplace. Discrimination is visible in many ways, including in the areas of wage equality, career progression, and leadership. Furthermore, such discrimination exists all over the world, though the capacity that such discrimination takes varies from country to country. While there has been undoubted progress in achieving gender equality over the decades, the task has not yet been completed. In her article, “The Glass Escalator: Hidden Advantages for Men in the “Female” Professions,” Christine Williams reports on ...

A democratic political body works for the people it has been elected by, and it ensures to work toward fulfilling the hopes and expectations the public places in them.

On the surface, it is clear that the minority is protected and cared for by the majority ruling the country, but the matters are different on the inside.

The four recorded their indecent acts as they kidnapped, gagged and humiliated the victim, who is disabled. The 18-year old victim is a subject of schizophrenia, a mental illness, and attention deficit disorder.

In fact, one of ...

Introduction/Problem Statement

Despite much hullabaloo on women's equality and empowerment, it is not yet ascertained that the fairer sex is considered as equal when it comes to employment. Four decades after the enactment of Equal Pay Act, research finds that the salary of female bosses runs 35 percent short of their male colleagues. Statistics galore revealing the wage differential across occupations and industries. By contrast, critics on the 'right' opine that the pay gap is just a 'myth' as women deserve to get paid less because they work in less demanding jobs than male counterparts. Obviously, the issue carries much heft ...

Discrimination is one of the most common themes in literary works and one that exists in the society since time immemorial. A person can get discriminated by his skin color, cultural background, or even gender. In the workplace, there are various types of discrimination. Discrimination can be directly or indirectly done. In a direct discrimination, a group or an individual is treated in a less favorable way. On the other hand, in an indirect discrimination, a practice or standard poses disadvantage on certain individuals or groups. Whichever the case maybe, the law prohibits discrimination based on personal characteristics. In ...

Paul Fryes discusses how the American politicians ignore the problems of the Black people as one of the largest disadvantaged groups in the world and how the Black people cannot create a response to the ignorant politicians by developing a political strategy as a group of all Black voters. As known, political parties give attention to the groups providing a financial contribution to their campaigns, the size of voters in the group, and loyalty of voters in the group. The main aim is to collect the highest possible financial support and collect most of the votes for politicians. The ...

“I Got No Quarrel with The VietcongNo Vietcong Ever Called Me Nigger.” Sometimes words resonate through time. We hear them and immediately comprehend their importance; even if some don’t comprehend their value at that time.

Some, however, will also remember him as an advocate of social justice, speaking out against war, discrimination against African Americans, and support for peace and Islam. Whether as a prominent member of the sporting community or a fierce advocate for social change, Muhammad Ali will regardless be considered an influential ...

Introduction

Throughout history, women had to endure being treated unfairly more than men in the workforce and overlooked for career opportunities. Women were always perceived as weaker than their male counterparts because they did not match the same intellectual or muscular development. For instance, in the 1950’s, it was expected for women to take care of the home and children, while the men went outside of the home to work. Women were raised to only have the expectations of becoming married and keeping their husband, or overall family happy. However, due to the changes in the legal system and ...

Telling one’s, or a community’s, story is subject to complex reductionsims of racial and sexist stereotyping. The subjugation of specific ethnicities, particularly African-Americans, and genders, particularly women, by whites and men respectively represents a clear example of unjustified exercise of power by specific groups over another. Indeed, by belittling and/or demonizing one group by another, only power can be exercised “justifiably”. There is no shortage, indeed, of lenient or more violent means by which a dominating group controls another, subjugated one. The superiority / inferiority duality is probably one most common mechanism adopted by oppressors in order ...

Social stratification is a description of social inequality in society, its division into social strata of income, presence or absence of privilege, lifestyle.       In the case of a primitive society that inequality was not as significant, and therefore the phenomenon of stratification was almost absent (Smelser, Wilson & Mitchell, 2001). With that as a society developed - inequality began to grow. Nowadays American society, as well as many others, divided the people by level of race, gender, education, income, and power. Racism in the United States has existed since the founding of the country. U.S. racial politics has deep historical ...

The immigrants have been subjected to reduced privileges compared to the people of Native American origin. This paper seeks to examine the case for Asian Americans in regard to how they have been viewed and treated in ...

Nowadays social groups and individuals are not perceived as a closed and self-sufficient phenomena. They are included in the general relationship and interdependence. Universal interconnection, interdependence and relationships are extremely complicated by contradictory processes of globalization. The role and influence on the formation of national consciousness of the cultural self-identity should be borne in mind that national identity is implemented at two levels: the social (public, community at large) and personal (personal) (Bem, 1967). The need for self-determination has always been an important human need. Erich Fromm believed that this need is rooted in human nature (Fromm, 1939). Social ...

The government has made taken measures to end discrimination by categorizing it as morally objectionable and socially unacceptable. Despite stringent measures being put in place by the government, cases of racial discrimination and victimization continue to happen. This has led the individual groups into taking ...

Introduction

Most women are bound to get pregnant at some point in their lives. Therefore, it is of great importance to provide protection for them against discrimination before, during and after pregnancy. Pregnant women who are employed are often susceptible to discrimination.

It might be manifested in the form of denial of time off, denial of reasonable accommodation, firing or demotion, forced time off, restrictions on work, and any other negative actions by an employer due to ...

Occupational segregation is one of the spheres where the fact that women’s skills and talents are often underestimated becomes obvious. Of course, the situation at workplaces concerning women’s equality with men has changed greatly in recent decades and this change has mostly been for the better. But in many aspects, especially financial ones, women are still lagging behind. Women face various problems when they try to find a well-paid job; when they are not promoted as fast as their male colleagues; and when they have to decide what they want or need more – successful careers or happy ...

U.S. and the Middle-East Conflict Amid bouts of political and economic instabilities brought about by unending chaos and internal conflicts in the Middle-East particularly between Israel and Palestine, most political scientists argue that the US is largely to blame. For instance, according to Admin (6), the engagement or intervention of the US in the ongoing Israeli-Palestine war is viewed by many as being skewed towards Israel as a key American Ally since the end of the WWII. Moreover, the “Israel First” approach adopted by President George Bush helped to fuel the chaos due to what were seen by Arab ...

On September 11, 2001, al Qaeda, an extremist Islamist organization, committed the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S history. No one in the world will ever forget that dark moment when two passenger planes, cutting through the blue sky, crashed into the iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center, leading them to collapse to the ground. In the aftermath of this tragedy, anti-Muslim sentiments and fear have grown significantly within the United States.

The enactment of the Black Codes took place after the Civil War and at the beginning of the Reconstruction Era.

The laws also had the capability of compelling the blacks to work for low wages or debt in the labor economy (“Black Codes”, n.p).

Attitudes about gender equality are increasingly liberal today considering that women in the United States did not have the same rights as men, including the same rights to quality education, voting rights, and legal rights (Mooney, Know, & Schacht, 2014, p. 313). Although a lot of gender inequality issues in the United States have been resolved, women still have lower incomes than men, and they are also less likely to hold prestigious positions associated with high social statuses such as top management positions. Enhancing gender equality in the labor market is essential for improving the socioeconomic status of women, as ...

Anti-Asian agitation is a general sentiment that refers to opposition, discrimination or hostility against the Chinese people or rather people of Asian origin. This topic is interesting because it has somehow gone unnoticed over the years until the modern days. It involves discrimination of the Asian traditions, culture, and even politics.

Introduction

The modern society has come a long way regarding equality between men and women in different aspects like human rights, cultural and societal roles, workforce and education, and the like.

However, it cannot be said that gender equality is truly achieved today because women still experience major gender barriers in society. They still are subjected ...

“What are the moral responsibilities of managers?” Among the great debates of the contemporary capitalism is essentially whether or not the concept of morality matters in the business world.
