Introduction

The Civil Right Restoration Act of 1987, also known as Groove City Bill, is a US bill, which dealt with governing of the federal money in the institutions in order to guarantee the execution of civil rights (Safransky, 2017). Its main task was to bring non-discrimination laws back into action. On February 1987, Senator Kennedy introduced the ‘Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987’ (Lewis & Dale, 1988). The act was one of the most important legislative documents at that time. Its significance can be compared to the 1972 Amendments. The Act deals with three federal laws. They are the Title ...

Introduction

The film, “If these Walls Could Talk,” is a compilation of three generational segments of stories that exonerate the plight of women in the society against the general view of the dominant sex. This film was released in 1996, and it exclusively discusses the controversial issue of abortion, which seeps in three distinct generations. The three segments of the film entail different generations and decades, but the setup for the entire story transpires in the same house. The first story is a widow, whose husband was killed on the battlefield (Stuart, 2008). Demi Moore is the woman in the ...

Introduction

The broad issue of gender equality and empowerment of women has been discussed in length and depth by various stakeholders in society. In fact, the topic stands out as one of the most highly debated issues through the years. The continued occurrence of incidences of gender discrimination clearly points out that the debates are yet to yield their ultimate objectives. The primary contention in all such arguments is the continuous portrayal of women as a lesser gender and thus belittling the morality and feminine’s obligations in society. Male chauvinists, who consider themselves superior and more potent have continuously ...

Long Response

While sexuality remains a talking point in the modern society, many people are still being discriminated based on their sexual identities. It is essential to note that several people have become victims of racial discrimination as well as heterosexism in the modern society. While many people have fought to change the perception of the offenders, the battle against lesbianism is still alive in the society as many individuals do not consider it a cultural norm. Culturally acceptable codes of behavior have dictated that a particular behavior has to be observed by the members of the society to help nurture ...

Q1 (a) Adichie’s essay presented two basic examples based on the concept of feminism that exists in the minds of men. At first, she illustrated that how she preferred to wear clothes that were less feminine while going to her graduation school. The example gives an impression to the audience that men in the society think that girls are a weaker entity. It also provides an idea that girls have insecurity. Therefore, they tend to look manly to prove themselves as stronger while making a public appearance Q1 (b) Another example that Adichie’s essay has provided is ...

Introduction

Sociology and gender studies are both expansive subject areas. In this paper, the author aims to identify and examine the existence of gender stereotyping in some famous works of literature, notably fairytales. This paper is a research proposal that outlines the research problems that the author hopes to identify, a contextualized background of the study (i.e. gender stereotyping in fairytales), a review of relevant literatures (focusing on some of the well-known fairytales that may contain evidences of gender stereotyping, a discussion about and the objectives and methods that will be used in the actual research paper. Gender stereotyping is ...

INTRODUCTION

Everyone remembers stories beginning with “once upon a time” and ending in “happily ever after.” Some people see fairytales as antiquated ideologies that are not beneficial in the modern era. Others believe that they are harmless tales intended to spark children’s imagination. Fairytales can establish ideologies about good and evil and right and wrong. They are, also, filled with pointed gender role ideals and gender stereotypes that are, today, ethically questionable. In the last few decades, there has been a literary movement of taking classic fairytales and attempting to update them and eliminate many stereotypes. This leads to ...

Gender equality is an issue that has persisted throughout history and pervaded the same on one level or another. Throughout much of history, men have used religion, power and influence to subjugate and limit women. One might think that such a pattern would be tapering off and going away in the 21st century and within modern times. While many countries, including the one mentioned throughout this report, have been able to advance and progress in major ways, there are still a ton of opportunities to learn and grow.

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 ...

Introduction

According to the New World Encyclopedia (2016), a gender role is an arrangement of behavioral standards related especially with guys or females in a given social gathering or framework, regularly including the division of work amongst men and ladies and the orderly complex of kid raising and socialization forms driving youth toward developing to propagate a similar example. Sex based parts incidental with sex-based parts have been the standard in numerous customary social orders, with the particular segments and workings of the sexual orientation/sex arrangement of part division fluctuating extraordinarily from society to society. Sexual orientation part is a ...

Critical Management Exam

Gender Gender equality has been a subject of debates and long discussions of human rights protectors. Equal access to education, equal opportunities to professional growth and equal rights in advancing careers are the key goals of the governments of the most developed countries in the world. Gender inequality has been considered as the cause of many imbalances in society that often lead to decline of its overall level. Modern world’s conditions and technological developments allow women and men to leave gender stereotypes in the past and discover opportunities on the equal basis (Linstead, 2000). Equal opportunities start with ...

Abstract

The study examined the effects of stereotyping gender and age on the perception of their driving speed. There were two approaches used for selecting participants. A Qualtrics survey was used to study fifty-nine participants who were recruited from Social Psychology Laboratory course at Nevada State College and others (N = 25) recruited from the online social network Facebook. The procedure involved presenting participants with a written description of the driver in a two (age of the target: middle-age vs. old) by two (gender of the target: woman vs. man) between-subjects experiment. Afterwards, the participants watched a ten-second video clip and ...

Introduction

Discrimination in the workplace environment acts as one of the challenges affecting performance. A review of recent statistics on matters associated with discrimination in the workplace setting indicates that the number of cases associated with discrimination on a wide range of areas is increasing significantly. The most common forms of discrimination include religious, ethnic, gender, and age, which bring about an environment where the work environment lacks diversity. The United States government has been on the forefront in dealing with these forms of discrimination through the implementation of legislation focused on ensuring that employers maintain diversity. However, enforcement of ...

Historical Background

Despite gender selection going back to our earliest societies, the history of gender selection in human embryos is relatively short. Gender Identification was first made possible in the 1970’s with the advent of technologies such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) combined with ultrasound. This early method of sperm sorting has an average cost today of $400-600 More recently in the 1990’s the ability to reliably sex embryos for in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been the basis of the media focus on gender selection in human embryos. In 1995 clinical trials to achieve FDA approval, of this second ...

What is your possible topic? Brainstorm five questions about it.

The proposed essay would be on the topic of gender discrimination. Now, there can be no denial of the fact that gender discrimination is one of the major social ills that has the potential of thwarting the holistic development of the human society. As such, the topic in context would aim to scrutinize the social issue so as to achieve a better understanding of the matter. Truly, no problem can possibly be combatted or eradicated if it is not comprehended with all its intricacy. Hence, the essay would work as a major opportunity to delve deep into the topic ...

Question 1

Gender inequality is considered as a social problem that becomes the reason for the inequitable treatment of people belonging to different genders. When it comes to gender discrimination, girls are regarded as the main victims as they regularly receive a smaller amount food as compared to boys in the family, and they get lesser chance to complete their education as well. The question set out for this paper is how does gender inequality affect lives of female members in the society? Primarily, gender discrimination has negative impacts on the scale of the population that affects the lives of female ...

Derogatory Terms Used as Tools for Maintaining the Privileged Status of Young White Males

In the United States of America, young white males from the middle class occupy a privileged status and therefore enjoy many benefits, such as being able to attain their goals without facing social pressures and barriers. While this group is occupies a position of power, people who fall short of any of the characteristics which would allow them to enter it, are discriminated from one or more points of view. Race, class, ability, gender, age, sexuality and ethnicity are some of the demographic features which are considered when establishing the power relation in the society. Groups which occupy a ...

Individuals are surrounded by the gender lore right from childhood. The gender lore is present in conflict, humor, and conversation, and it is utilized to explain and refer to everything from the dressing styles, driving, and preferences. When it comes to language, sex, sexuality, and gender raise several controversies and contradictions since people and organizations have different understandings and attitudes. This paper develops a reflection on sex, sexuality, and gender in language. Society is currently dealing with the issue of transphobia, sexism, and homophobia. The offensive behaviors arise during interactions, conversations, and speeches. An example of a leader in ...

Fairy tales and folklores are nothing but the reflections of the society. Authors and artists depict the world through their lens to highlight social elements. The Company of Wolves by Angela Carter is a fairy tale built on the theme of the Little Red Riding Hood. In a very subtle way it depicts the patriarchal structure of the society and what it means to be a liberated woman. In an interesting way she has shown what a feminist means, as it brings harmony and order into an otherwise sexist and chaotic society. Carter’s Company of Wolves might not ...

Gender identity is one of the fundamental characteristics that a person acquires and which will influence her choices and opportunities in life. Gender is not only a trait that one has, but also, gender is performed every day, according to certain theorists (Wood, 2011). One is expected to behave according to his or her gender, and to adhere to the norms and values associated with that gender. To “do” gender from this point of view means to behave as a woman and as a man respectively, simply because others expect one to do so. While I did not give ...

Impacts of Gender, Racial, Ethnicity, Class, and Sexual Orientation Stereotypes

Introduction Equality is essential to the development of any nation. In fact, lack thereof compromises the possibilities of social and economic growth due to the prevalence of discrimination. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that there are multiple stereotypes associated with race, sexual orientation, gender, and ethnicity. These stereotypes foster the development of prejudice due to the unequal distribution of responsibilities, gender inequality and psychological torture due to sexual orientation. According to Ward and Monica (128), the impacts of these stereotypes are demoralizing, and the affected groups feel unappreciated. For instance, the UK Feminista (2016) ...

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, prejudice (which is basically an opinion made on a person due to the way they look, the color of their skin, their religion and how the dress) and perceptions of a person based on their appearance play an important role in the events that occur in the book. One can see this is both the treatment of the creature and later in the story of the fall of the DeLacey family. This paper will look at the prejudices in the novel and if and how they still exist today. We can see ...

Components of Intelligence in Adulthood

Theory of fluid and crystallized intelligence of Cattel-Horn suggests that intelligence involves a number of different abilities that interact and work together in order to form a common intelligence of the individual. Two types of intelligence are to each other in mutually complementary relations. Therefore, when due to the age weakening of fluid intelligence the ability to solve certain types of problems is reduced, there are very effective strategies to overcome these problem situations through the advanced features of crystallized intelligence, which progressively develops almost all of human life. According to the theory of Robert Stenberg, intelligence includes three ...

Diversity is everywhere. Most often than not, countries like the United States and Canada are considered a melting pot of various cultures. Due to these countries’ widely popular immigration programs, more and more people from different parts of the globe explore opportunities in these countries. This results in a multi-cultural community that is often subject to stereotyping. Stereotypes results from classifying groups of people into categories involving race, gender, and origin amongst other factors (Nittle, 2016). It is the oversimplification of these characteristics to try and describe or create a notion or generalization about these groups. Usually, stereotyping leads ...

The Elements of Feminist Media and their Relationship to the Movie The Punk Singer

“Tougher and more lethal than any man, more beautifulthan most women, warrior women in thongs fused feminism and femininity in a fantasy reconciliation between the fury of Riot Grrrl and the body politics of Cosmo.” –Douglas, 2010a, p. 78 The above quotation made by Susan J. Douglas highlights the fact that feminism has had to change how it presents itself to the mainstream. The quotation implies that the strong, hard-core feminist is now being required to soften her outside image with her femininity and sexuality. The author made reference to the Riot Grrrl underground movement, ...

Introduction: Historically, female Black slaves endured the worse treatment, but have received the least amount of attention than their male counterparts in North American Slavery (Hine, 2007). There are longstanding myths that surround the experiences of female Black slaves, and struggles they face daily trying to survive. Deborah Gray White provides an intimate look into female slavery that until 1985 was long overdue. In her book she stated “Slave women were the only women in America who were sexually exploited with impunity, stripped and whipped with a lash, and worked like oxen” (White, 1999, p. 162). In the nineteenth ...

Identifying the problem

This paper addresses the issue of abortion as a societal concern. Evidently, abortion remains both an ethical and social policy issue not only in the United States but also the world society in general. Defined as the act of terminating a human pregnancy in deliberate terms, many people argue that the woman’s decision to abort is their right (Guttmacher Institute, 2016). However, being a social issue, other members of the society, specifically religious leaders, argue against abortion. For those against abortion, they say that it is only ethical not to terminate the child’s life as that may ...

Introduction

Child prostitution is considered a curse that affects every continent globally with the situation increasing every year all over the world. There are over three million children who become victims of child prostitution each year globally. Factors such as gender discrimination and inequality, poverty, child trafficking and immigration and child labor contribute to the high level of child prostitution as a form of juvenile delinquency. Gender discrimination has contributed to over 98% of child prostitution being girls and in every 6 out of 10 victims must have been due to trafficking. The vice of child prostitution violates the rights ...

These authors primarily talk about gender, race, and class discrimination in the United States of America. For instance, Margret& Patricia titled their work, "why Race, Class, and Gender still matter." The discussion is based on how different people in the United States are affected by different types of discrimination based on where they live, their color and gender. Although America seems like one of the less discriminative countries in the world, there are still central areas and situations where it is practiced. Through electing, the first black president, Barrack Obama, the war on discrimination of color seems to be ...

Over recent decades of continuous debates about women’s discrimination, gender equality becomes a hot topic around the globe. However, giving women the right for equality often means giving them the right to manipulate men easily, so as fighting for women’s rights often leads to men’s discrimination. Such gender bias mostly affects both employees and employers as they are to be responsible for choosing right ethical behaviour to control the balance of gender equality in order to keep a positive image of the company. The video shows the example of ambiguous ethical situation occurred at Kleiner Perkins ...

In a video posted on July, 22 2016 comedian Mike Ward was fined $42,000 for using a disabled child as the butt of one of his jokes. ("Political Correctness Gone Too Far? - Canada.") While it is easy to agree that Ward deserved to be fined for what could be seen as an attack on a child and a disabled person. On the other side comedians argue that political correctness and thin skin have had a negative effect on doing their comedy. This is understandable as comedy has always been a way to look at the flaws of ...

“The Little Mermaid,” the 1989 animated film directed by Ron Clements and John Musker and released by Buena Vista Pictures, delves on the story of a mermaid who falls in love with a human being. This film is likewise a cartoon adaptation of the original version of the novel of the same title written by Hans Christian Andersen and first published in 1837. With regards to the Disney version, it is observable that the film incorporates several techniques that seem to diminish the innate animalistic nature of the aquatic creatures, such as the crabs, lobsters, octopus, the tropical fish, ...

Abstract

The paper describes a test and an activity conducted to check convincingly whether there is gender discrimination amongst bank employees and to demonstrate how randomization techniques can help determine whether there difference between proportions is statistically significant in a given case. The test yields a position wherein 35 out of 48 bank supervisors recommend an application for promotion, wherein the applications are varied just by gender and yields 21 male and 14 female recommendations. The test result is put to test using a randomization technique. The original sample is resampled 100 times and with every resampling a different composition ...

Historically and to this day, gender has had an overreaching influence on the way people are treated within the criminal justice system, from the initial moment of their arrest, to their prosecution, conviction, and sentencing; throughout the term of their incarceration; to their portrayal in the media. Women and men are viewed unequally, and this has tended to have both advantages and disadvantages for both genders. When it comes to gender politics, the outwardly-fair criminal justice system can be seen to be anything but. In all facets of society, women and girls have historically borne the brunt of the ...

The case of G.G. ex rel. Grimm v. Gloucester City Sch. Bd. sets an important precedent in the gender identity of the transgender persons and the treatment they should receive in public facilities. In this case, the applicant was born a male, but began to transition to a female in his teens. The main issue of determination in an appeal is whether denying a male transgender access to boy’s bathroom could be construed to be a form of discrimination falling under Title IX protection. As of now, the issue is limited to use in public bathrooms, but will ...

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman”

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman” The short story, Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, and the poem, Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson, both focus on the struggle a woman experiences when contemplating an abortion. While both were written around the same time—“Hills Like White Elephants” in 1927 and “Black Woman” in 1918, each features characters that offer differing, distinct views of the issues surrounding the decision. This is in no small part because their lives are dramatically different, thanks to issues of race and socioeconomic status. The ...

Introduction

The general outcomes of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) labor market have remained lower despite the region recording a positive economic growth. The improvements in the MENA labor markets experienced in the last one decade are negligible. Many factors influence the success of labor markets in the world. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, occupational choice and sector allocation, participation rates in different economic activities, and wages are important indicators of the economic position and success of a labor market. However, the MENA labor market continues facing economic segmentations because of the poor wage structure and ...

Introduction

The MENA Countries are the countries in the Middle East and the North Africa. Many of these countries are in the process of developing and some are less developed than others. As emerging economies, these countries are still spending the effort to develop their labor markets and human resources. Considering that the number of youth in the population is an advantage for economic development, the MENA Countries seem to have an advantageous position; however, before making this comment, one needs to analyze the labor markets in these countries. The basic statistics about unemployment exhibits volatility, and the unemployment rate ...

Women in Video Game

Video games are the games that are played against a computer. History of video games may go back to the year 1940, when a computer game, “Nim” was designed by Edward Condon. The game had the ability to be played by one player (Kondrat 171). In the recent times, video games have covered a huge market. It has been reported that about $16.6 billion were spent on video games in the U.S. in the year 2012, and the worldwide video game market was at about $67 billion (Fox, and Wai Yen Tan 314). The representation of men and women ...

One of the more interesting phenomena of the past few weeks in the American political scene was the brief period of time that FBI Director James Comey spent in the public eye, as the FBI and Justice Department investigation of Hillary Clinton spun to an end. When Director Comey appeared before the press to explain his findings on July 5, he went on at length about the different ways that Secretary Clinton had mishandled classified information during her time at the State Department. He detailed the number of emails that she had sent or received that had had classified ...

If we look at the reflection of leadership in professional and social activities, women often give men the initiative. Despite the fact that the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty first century gave the world quite a large number of women politicians world-wide (Margaret Thatcher, Angela Merkel, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi and others), women's leadership in politics had not yet become a commonplace to society. And it is not that a woman wants to become a leader, but the fact that some of the problems of society a woman can decide better: problems of motherhood, childhood, and ...

The sociological discourse of the 21st century persists on the topic of gender and gender roles, as ascribed by the society for decades, which continue to connect women to the domestic sphere, in a submissive manner, and men to the public sphere, in a dominant manner. In the current modern society, men and women are represented in both the domestic and the public sphere due to social changes that encouraged women participation in the labor work and men’s involvement in the private sphere (Duffy 113). Nevertheless, there are still proves that women continue to be associated with the ...

Abstract

Notably, interracial couples and their families have faced various challenges including rejection and being stereotyped. These challenges have resulted in increased trauma and developmental delays among interracial people. The most common misperception about interracial couples is that one partner is black while the other one is white. The rate at which interracial marriages are growing in the US has increased steadily. Considering that the United States legalized interracial marriages, a high growth rate in interracial marriage is a significant move. The demand for interracial counseling is expected to rise as the number of multicultural couples increase. Education of counselors ...

This article talks about how social construction of sexism has changed over the past half century. In this article, things are not the way they used to be fifty years ago, and the perception of sexism is also changing, because as males dominated the family, today its either women who dominate the family or both. Women are rising into powers, and their salaries are increasing dramatically while that of men remaining constant, meaning that women are learning to be independent. Therefore, women are proving to be who men think they are not, and do all that men can do, ...

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 feminist movement has been a vibrant one for the past couple of decades, not only in the United States but all across the world. There have been politically powerful and culturally influential campaigns and movements regarding women’s liberation and consciousness. The feminist movement involved several projects in the government bureaucracies, different institutions, and professions. These movements have brought about major changes in the lives of many women and their professions. Despite the acceptance of women’s equality and prominent accomplishments, the feminist movement has yet to achieve its absolute goals of gender equality (Epstein 2001). The focus ...

The Post War society was going through a transition period. The milestone document of the United Nations in the history of mankind is The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). With this document, the United Nations have protected human rights regardless of gender, race, religion ethnicity etc. The United Nations agreed that every person is free by born and he/she should be respected. He/she must be considered as human being and thus her rights of freedom must be protected. The two incidents were very important in the world history; first is the Civil Rights Movement and the feminist movement. ...

Nicotye Samayualie, Canadian Inuit Cape Dorset Artist

Research Paper Introduction Nicotye Samayualie, a Canadian Inuit from Cape Dorset, was born on the 23rd of November 1983. Her parents are Johnny Tunnillie Samayualie and Kudluajuk Ashoona, and her grandmother is a famous graphic artist, Keeleemeeoome Samayualie. She has clearly inherited her grandmother's artistry, whose art works were one of those few exhibited in the Cape Dorset yearly print anthology in the 1970s and 1980s (Spirit Wrestler Gallery, 2016). Nicotye has developed a strong fascination with the display, arrangements, and layouts of contrasting images in natural and artificial objects. Numerous of her artworks portray common images like crates ...

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 ...

The issue is whether the student based teacher evaluation is gender biased. Gender bias is a common social vice that is described as the subjective perception that some people are better positioned to perform some task based on their masculinity of their femininity. For instance, most societies hold that boys or men are better at academics, rationality and in most cases possess socially unruly behavior while their female counterparts are socially interactive, more disciplined and better in arts and languages (Templeton, 2016). With such gender-based bias ingrained in the society, the fundamental question is whether students are affected by ...

The world’s Colombian exposition held in Chicago knocked at the right time in the American city of the century as was popularly known to many Americans. As with any international gathering, such events are associated with subsequent economic boom due to the flow of capital in that economy. The millions of visitors needed accommodation, food and entertainment throughout the fair and this was the most opportune time for the shaky American economy which was full of uncertainty and power struggle which could rekindle another era of civil war. The exposition provided a definitive moment for the Americans. It ...

Literature Review

Before indulging in gender-related issues within the hospitality industry, it is important to understand the role women play in it. According to Baum and Cheung (2015), Within the industry, women make up nearly 70% of the workforce, however paradoxically there is a marked under-representation of women in senior positions, with women holding less than 40% of all managerial positions, less than 20% of general management roles and between 5-8% of board positions . An immense amount of literature exists on gender-related issues encountered in the hospitality industry, especially by females. From discriminatory recruitment policies to salary differentials to sexual harassment ...

Our modern world is full of implacable disparities. All living beings are classified into different categories. The animals, for example, will often be categorized into those who can run, feel coming danger and be able to escape it. The biggest diversity ever is probably that of the gender difference and gender stereotypes. No matter how much time passes, there will always exist that inevitable opposition between two sexes. Though stereotypical views of men and women have highly reduced in recent years, many people still believe that some of the gender-role stereotypes retained till the present day. The two genders ...

Gender discrimination means gender inequality. This occurs when there is an imbalance between men and women, especially in the workplace. This paper will discuss gender discrimination as an environmental factor. The effects of gender discriminations are many, especially in employment sector. This situation usually occurs when another superior gender is undermining a less superior gender. Gender discrimination can occur to both genders. One of the effects of gender discrimination in the workplace is that it increases the number of a particular gender and it creates unfriendly working environment (Scott, 2016). Hence, gender discrimination promotes violence and harassment, which can ...
