INTRODUCTON

When people think of crime their first inclination is to envision men in masks robbing a bank at gunpoint, drug dealers selling drugs to children on the street and, in the most extreme cases, murder. However, there are many different types of crime and not all of them are violent, not all involve acts that are easily identified and happen a lot more often that the general public probably thinks. White-collar Crime was first identified the mid 20th century by Edwin Sutherland. However, white-collar crime, which is the term given to financial crimes committed by the middle and higher ...

Question/Problem Definition

Equal pay is one of the most pertinent issues in labor laws and regulation. Most governments across the globe have institutionalized legislation that aim to safeguard their citizens and ensure that they are well compensated for their talents regardless of their origin, race, gender and other distinguishing characteristics. However, this is not usually the case. In spite of having such laws, the labor market especially the private sector is far from realizing and implementing equal pay. The state is even worse in developing countries where most women employees do not earn even half as much as their male counterparts ...

The Surgeon General has emphasized that oral health is an integral aspect of health (Mertz, Lindler & Dower, 2011). Oral care is typically provided within the dental office by trained professionals, namely the dentist, the dental hygienist, and the dental assistant.

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 ...

Introductory Remarks

At this point, it is no secret the American society shows a degree of tolerance lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered individuals never enjoyed in the 20th century. The question emerges of why it is that people have grown more tolerant towards and supportive of LGBT individuals. Media categories, such as television and films considered the carriers of culture, influence people’s perception, as does the culture itself shaping it. Thus, the way such phenomenon as same-sex relationships along with their participants are depicted in television and movies determines how tolerantly the society will perceive such people. The major research ...

While the English language is constantly evolving, the overuse of words in the wrong context diminishes their meaning and value. The word “hero” is constantly being used, especially in the media, to apply to anything from sporting personalities to sporting shoes (Nike, 2016) to sandwiches. The book by Christopher and Smith (2007), entitled Greatest Sports Heroes of All Time, uses the word “hero” in the wrong context. In this context, the word “hero”” has been widely used to describe any person of prominence in the sporting world who has ever achieved something noteworthy, when in fact these people, while ...

propaganda poster created by J. Howard Miller in 1943 to promote industriousness and feminism during World War II. One of the major themes of the piece of art is to empower women, and present revolutionary ideas for the time regarding women in the workplace. The war took men away from the labor market and opened up opportunities for women, which they gladly took. Yet the piece also makes clear that women had not made it fully in society yet as their position and power was still given to them by men. This idea displays the advantages of men, and ...

Gender bias goes against the growing spirit of women. With females scaling heights in almost every field, subtle forms of discrimination as glass ceiling obliterate the very nature of a transparent and healthy business ambiance. While the induction of three women combat pilots for the first time in Indian Air Force speaks of their grit, changing entrepreneurial landscape in the America and the rest of the world well reflects the growing potential of the fairer sex. Ironically, a significant gender gap still exists in employer firms despite increasing numbers of women as owners of small businesses. In addition to ...

The subject of women in combat is one of the least studied in the history and the literature. This topic is very important in the context of gender and many other issues. For many years, researchers have been interested in the issues of women as the part of one of the most terrible events in the world. As it is known from the ancient times, war is a men's business, and nobody have doubted in this fact. Moreover, women always acted as passive victims, i.e. "damsels in distress", having secondary importance at war. However, many researchers, who have studied ...

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a milestone in United Stated labor law. It was the first comprehensive piece of legislation to prohibit employment discrimination by race, color, religion, sex or national origin. It also prescribed the allocation of federal funding to any discriminatory program at the State level. Additionally, it created the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was mandated with enforcing anti-discrimination federal laws in the workplace as well as legislation that prohibit punitive measures against employees who complain about the treatment. The EEOC can also file a lawsuit against employers on behalf of victimized ...

Immigration is the development of individuals to one nation from another permanently. There are numerous reasons why individuals decide to live in another nation they have been living in - to join their families, to acquire better occupations, or that they cannot stay in or return to their particular nation. The vast majority have a supposition about how migration influences the work market. Some express concerns about its effect. Their fundamental emphases are that movement will cause an increase in the unemployment rate and that businesses are acquiring gifted specialists from abroad instead of preparing neighborhood laborers. Then again, ...

During the most recent recovery from an economic recession, an interesting phenomenon occurred. While the unemployment rate stayed about the same, the economy rebounded, in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), and hours worked per employee. There is one reasonable explanation for the so-called jobless recovery of 2009: automation and robotics. Automation and robotics can efficiently do the work of many different types of jobs. For example, middle-wage blue-collar jobs in manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation are quickly becoming automated (Sui & Jaimovich). In addition, many traditionally middle-wage white-collar jobs such as bank tellers and administrative assistants are being phased out ...

An immense amount of literature exists on gender-related issues encountered in the hospitality industry, especially by females.

Women have been the subject of discrimination and inequality in the past. And despite the societal progress and development, as well as the emergence of legislations that protect their rights, women remain to experience inequality in one way or another. One of the inequality that is still prevalent today, even in progressive countries is the gender wage gap. The gender wage gap is defined as the average difference of the hourly earnings between men and women (European, 2) A study conducted at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research revealed that women were paid lower than men in a ...

The United Sates has been considered as one of the countries in the world where advocacy for women rights is prevalent. However, the history of women rights during the pre-colonial period isn’t a good one as it was marred by discrimination and abuse of women’s rights. The society was more male chauvinistic than it is today and there were no equal opportunities between men and women. The height of discrimination was even felt on basic such as education as women seldom got chances to pursue education to the level of men. The debate on women’s rights ...

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 ...

Introduction

The World Economic Forum stated that the gender pay gap may take 118 years to close. The gender pay gap is the average disparity in men and women’s total hourly wages earned, which can be attributed to different factors such as level of education, expertise, type of industry and length of work among others (Grimley, n.p). Statistics showed that despite the increased participation of women in the labor force, their salary remains to be significantly lower than that of men, even in highly industrialized countries. The existence of a wide gap between men and women’s average earnings ...

Women are not only limited in number in their fields, but they are also limited as to the fields they can fill. Most militaries still limit the occupations that allow women to occupy. For the most part, women are excluded from all combat and some combat-related fields. Traditional observation on women assumes that they do not want to be involved in combat, nor are they in a position to handle such occupations. Most people believe that men are more physically and emotionally suited for roles in combat. Suggestions of women participation in combat fields have variation cross-culturally, and have ...

Lives of women in the ancient and early-modern world

During the ancient and early modern days, women were characterized by some Christian beliefs as either being corrupted or saintly. For instance, Judeo-Christian belief portrayed women’s righteousness to that of Virgin Mary while their corrupt nature was linked to Eve of the Holy Bible. And as such, there were a lot of literature that intended to teach women on how they should behave and carry themselves. Women of these days were not only denied legal persona but were also subjected to control by their male counterparts. In China, for instance, this act was manifested by Neo-Confucianism that gave ...

Statistical data from numerous studies clearly demonstrates that women’s average wages are considerably lower than those of men in nearly all occupations and fields of activity. Despite the dynamic development of the modern business world, there is still a clear distinction between male-dominated and female-dominated industries, as "women continue to be highly overrepresented in clerical, service, and professional occupations, while men tend to be overrepresented in craft, operator, and laborer jobs" (qtd. in Catalyst.org). In conformity with statistical data provided in the "Fact Sheet: The Gender Wage Gap by Occupation 2014 and by Race and Ethnicity", women on ...

It would be incorrect to say that women have not made huge progress in the workplace. In fact, they have achieved a lot in a relatively small period of time. It is true, however that the struggle has been real, and women have been deemed unsuitable for the job since a long time. The gender gap between the male and the female in a preeminently patriarchal society has made women the weaker and frailer subject in society, whereas men are the stronger, focused and goal-oriented living beings amongst humanity. This attitude against women has prevented even the most brilliant ...

The situation with women’s inequality has changed a lot in recent decades and mostly for the better. But for some reasons, most women are still lagging behind their men, especially financially. They experience problems in finding a good job; they have fewer hopes to be promoted as quickly as their male colleagues; their jobs are often lower paid; and they constantly have to make a choice between successful careers and their families. Therefore, it is obvious that the issue of occupational segregation is still in place and it requires special attention and thorough study in order to make ...

First, it is necessary to explain that the 21st century has brought exciting prospective and great challenges to the humanity. It is assumed that the US shift in economy, culture and wealth could have been caused by globalization, domestic economy and internal trade, as well as unemployment.

The process of globalization has effects on the economic development, culture, environment and human’s well-being, and ...

Inequality is one of the greatest social problems as the result of the racism. The differences can be perceived not only economically, but also politically and is one of the major global challenges.

Introduction

The compensation is a reward for an entity (individual or corporation) in return for a work performed or services rendered. The amount of compensation and payment are provided either by simple uses or through contractual arrangements (freely negotiated between parties or resulting from collective agreements or company agreement) (Perryman et.al, 2016). The compensation is directly linked to the amount of effort and performance that has been delivered and it also has nothing to do with gender. However, it is usually influenced by the gender, which has consequentially become a social dilemma. Gender and compensation are taken into the context ...

Gender Identity

Gender identity starts its formation at home, and in Saudi Arabia it is not different. Home life greatly influences a person’s growth and is the root of cultural understanding (Mahler, 2012). In Saudi, home is usually seen as a work place for women, hence men form the majority of shopkeepers in the region. Women are also restricted to live in their parent’s house until they get married where they move to their husbands home. In America, however, women are perceived as independent human beings who can work anywhere they choose. Additionally, they are free to move out ...

In a May 2014 document released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics it was reported that although almost as many women as men are in the workforce (52% and 70.2%, respectively), males earn a higher median salary than females regardless of job type or race.
