It is true that women still get paid less than men and very few women are holding leadership position. However, the Vitorian perception that men are "naturally" smarter and more intellectually capable than women is no longer held to be true. In fact, there are more elected female leaders (in the world) right now than at any point in history. The fact that these leaders receive strong supports from both male and female constituents shows the rising level of respects that men have for women as intellectual partners. As further proof, recent surveys indicate that the majority of men think that women are just as intellectually capable than they are. Today's women have earned the respect as intellectual co-equal.

First, you make a decision about what point of view or opinion you want to make in your essay. If you aren't sure, do some research. Check with your reference librarian at your public library for help. Look at the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature for current information on this topic in magazines available in your library. Do a search using Google or Yahoo for web articles about discrimination against women in the workplace. Look for websites that are academic, official, or from universities. You might want to do original research by talking to women in the workplace and ask them about their experience with discrimination. You might want to discuss this topic with a university professor at the nearest college.\n\nAfter you gather your research and make a decision about your slant or opinion, then decide on a good opening that will hook your reader or draw interest. Think about the most intriguing or interesting aspect that you learned or bring up some concern about discrimination that is troubling to you. \n\nNow build your argument by showing supportive evidence for your thesis statement. It is a great idea to personalize this evidence with stories. Find three personal examples and stories to show support for your thesis.\n\nWhen you are writing about problems, it is also important to come up with solutions to include in your essay.\n\nThen restate your thesis and you might want to end with a challenge to the reader to act to support your cause.

In my personal opinion:\n\n#1 : Human Rights - even though the world has the Universal Declaration on Human Rights which was ratified by the UN and members of the UN are supposed to uphold these, it seems these basic human rights are continually violated\n\n#2 : Poverty - it's such a shame that in our world today, with all our great technology and know-how, that we still cannot seem to find a way to bridge the large gap between extreme poverty in parts of the world and the extreme rich in other parts (and sometimes the two coexist in the same nation!)\n\n#3 : Energy - our world today uses a lot of energy, unfortunately we haven't invested as much money and time to develop the technologies to advance the ways in which we produce energy (although we are steadily changing). I'll admit that when I learned how a car operates I was very surprised and disappointed...I realized that with all our advancing computer technology, etc, that the car is just one of the many machines that still operates in an early industrial style fashion. Sure we have lots of great gadgets inside the car and the designs have changed, but it still works and runs off of very late 19th century ideas. We should invest more time, money, and technology to advancing this and how we produce energy. It has began, but it is moving slower than the demand. \n\n#4 : Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, & Intersexed Rights - being gay myself I actually consider these human rights, but since some folks seperate these I thought I'd add them seperately for those that do. I once read "a nation is judged not by how well it takes care of its majority, but in how well it defends, protects, and cares for all its minorities." Most people forget about the basic humanity that is involved when talking about 'rights', especially when talking about gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, and intersexed people. Somehow those asking for the 'rights' aren't seen as 'people' or even 'human' sometimes and it's ashame that we forget the humanity of this group of people.\n\n#5 : Health & Education - I think it is fundamental that we should not only educate people...especially educate people about their health...but that our world today should be able to provide very good health care for its population...but we can't expect better health for the world's population when we can't even take care of simple things like human rights (which require us to actually see the humanity in everyone), poverty (which again it's easy to dismiss if you fail to see the humanity of the people in it), and energy issues (because most of the great improvements in health care and schools come from technology..technology that takes energy to function and operate, let alone the facilities, vehicles, etc will need energy, too).  \n\nThat's my top 5 of the most pressing issues of concern! Get these things going and the world population would probably be much more content (and since we'd be honoring and recognizing each other's humanity then diplomacy might actually work better, too). There is an old saying I was told once about why in ancient times many societies invested so much in health, education, justice systems, and entertainment...because that makes people happy and happy people don't riot, don't overthrow their governments, don't rebel. I think modern governments should try to remember that (corporations are now starting to take notice of this...as has been reported many times recently about these corporations having health clubs, schools, daycares, entertainment centers, medical facilities, etc all built into or within their business complex..and they have happier employees who then show up for work and have fewer absenses and less turnover...and even greater profits).

good job!!   \nLet me see if I can get 10pts. from you!\n\nA professor wrote on the blackboard:  a woman withourt her man is nothing\n\nHe then asked the class to punctuate it.  \n\nThe guys wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing!"\nThe girls wrote: "A woman, without her, man is nothing!"

You should learn to speak and type in English!\n\nWhen you post on the Internet asking peoples opinions, you are publishing "your business" then when it is answered that is not sticking your nose in "your business" when it gets answered\n\nThe person below uses at least two different accounts/id's at least one male and one female, then he, she or it wants to project it's gender identity issues upon others!\n\nThe person below uses broken English in a lot of their answers they should go back and finish at least high school!

I can think of a couple books offhand:\n\nThe Gender of Sexuality by Pepper Schwartz\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0803990421/sr=8-5/qid=1139808733/ref=pd_bbs_5/002-2832502-7269667?%5Fencoding=UTF8\n\nThe Gender Knot by Alan Johnson\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566395194/qid=1139809429/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-2832502-7269667?s=books&v=glance&n=283155\n\nThe Social Construction of Difference and Inequality by Tracy Ore\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0767429281/qid=1139810353/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2832502-7269667?s=books&v=glance&n=283155\n\nSame Difference: How Gender Myths Are Hurting Our Relationships, Our Children, and Our Jobs by Rosalind Barnett\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0465006108/qid=1139810353/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-2832502-7269667?s=books&v=glance&n=283155\n\nTake these books, read them, use their particular data or mine the footnotes of relevent parts for more ideas.

I don't know if this fits in with the emphasis in your class, but this is my personal view...\n\nHistorically, when human rights were being defined women were not included.\n\nFor example: The US Constitution was written to protect and preserve the rights of citizens of the newly-formed United States. Women, however, were not believed to have all of the rights enshrined in that document and had to struggle to have their rights as citizens recognized.\n.\nAlthough any discussion of human rights includes women by definition, the overall umbrella of "human rights" is not always seen as addressing issues specific to the female gender. These issues include child-bearing, sexual abuse and oppressive cultural traditions/laws which prevent women from enjoying the "human rights" that men have.\n\nIn a nutshell, when someone says "women's rights" they are  talking about human rights that women do not have yet---or they are discussing something gender-specific.\n\nI hope this helps.

1. Start with the basics - demographics. Clearly you need a gender M/F question but you might also want age, occupation and living status for example.\n\n2. Then add a bunch of attitude statements with a 5 point scale. Strongly agree ....strongly disagree with indifferent in the middle.\n\n3. Make sure your statements cover as many different points of view as possible. \n\n4. You could add a few other questions about other forms of buying to see if its specific to clothing or more generalised.\n\nImportantly you might aslo want to consider "in what ways male and females differ in their attitudes". I say this because your question above implies a yes or no answer. Open it up a bit and it'll also help you generate hypotheses too.\n\nCluster analysis is a "fun" way of playing with attitude statements after.\n\nHope this helps

I'm fairly sure it's about the same across the board- gender issues are very complex, but in a simple way, as well.\n\nI just can't say more without some details.

I'll tell you how because I do it all the time - and it works on men and women.  Pick a subject or issue that she harps on regularly.  Every time she brings the issue up simply ask for an example.  Be very concise and direct.  Be blunt about it.  If she can't give any examples, well...  If she can, try to have an intelligent response ready.  Again, be concise, be direct, be blunt, and BE CALM.  Don't get rattled and don't raise your voice.  I anticipate interesting feedback from the women out there but to be sure women AREN'T always right.  The point is to discuss issues intelligently, not emotionally.  Hope this helps and good luck.

you should most likely just relax because it's probably not the poor girl's fault. \n\ni had a business communications teacher that docked me for saying "waitors and waitresses" instead of "waitstaff," using "he" when i was talking about managers (because "they" is gramatically incorrect and "he" is accepted as being gender neutral in these cases), and even *GASP!* for not having any females in my clipart haha\n\nsadly, some people take feminism (and no doubt masculinity) to the next and most extreme level.\n\ncheers!

O.k. some of the guys possibly reading this are not likely to like my answer, but, here goes.\nI believe that women are most definitely "equal to" men in every single way, (except when it comes to physical strength, and that's a general statement)- and superior to (or more "evolved", if you prefer), in other ways. (That is the part men aren't going to like to hear!)\nAnthropological studies have thus far traced the existence of "man" back to a an AFRICAN WOMAN. Women were also the first to learn to "communicate" with one another (referring to humans in general). Women have highly developed social skills right down to this day, and, in my opinion, have developed many skills critical to survival that men just haven't developed much of at all. (They haven't had to. Women have been taking care of them since human beings first appeared on earth!)\nWe, as women, bring forth new life onto this planet- (sure, with the sperm donation of men)- but it's the women who generally care for and raise and teach and nurture these new lives. We don't get half the credit we deserve for our abilities and our intellect, but that is where a big fault with women does apply- because we are generally not motivated by our egos, we have allowed ourselves to take this "back seat" in society, figuring we could profit in other ways- or keep the peace (which is also very important to us). However, now we live in a "man's world", and don't seem to have woke up to the fact that it is just as much our own doing- our own "fault"- as it is men's. It's time for change. It's time for women to band together and be heard. We are not a "minority" in number, and in this country (because we live in a democratic society)- we have the opportunity TO BE HEARD and our "votes to count"- but not enough women seem to care. That needs to change. We will continue to hold this place in society until we (as a whole) accept nothing less than what we deserve, and that is respect- but it begins first with ourselves. \n\nWe need to learn to respect ourselves. If we do not, how can we expect anyone else to do so, and who else then do we have to blame?

Female\nMath/Science\n\nI guess you want to prove that most females are not any good at math/science right?  Most, yes, however some females are not only good in math/science, they may be superior to men in those subjects.

i totally agree with you on that.... there will never be gender equality... although iwould like to think there will be.... there are things that keep taht from happening.... like gurls are allowed to play foot ball because of girls wanting to do it.... but guys cant be on gurls teams cuz men are naturally stronger than women... so its  not fair.  but i think that if guys areant allowed to be on gurls teams then they should make football and wrestling for gurls and gymnastics and what not for men... like how they are finally getting most schools to have most sports available for both sexes... i think it should have been along time ago but people are so stuck in teh past that women are very differant and are basically nothing that there is always gunna be some one that is like no... that shouldnt be because its not natural or whatever.... just like racists will always be around and so will sexists and all that... its something that we iwll just have to learn to deal with by making a diffreance and putting an effort at getting a mens gymnastics team or whatever in their school and getting gurls into football and making it ok for a guy to be on cheerleading if he wants to instead of being called gay or whtever cuz thats what he wants to do... its time for everyone to grow up mentally and realize that everyone deserves all the same rights.... and everyone should serve teh same sentance if they commit the same crime and what not.... so yeah.. .i totally agree with you!! and sorry so long... kinda blowing off steam too.. but oh well.. its true.. our nation should grow up and get over it....

So, why does there have to be "Women's Rights","Mens Rights" or any special consideration or privileges for anyone based on sex, religion or the color of one's skin?  Why not just make it all "Human Rights!"
