Many believed in the traditional idea that the workplace was for men only and used the refusal of recognition as a form of protest. Some women refused to go into the work force for this very reason. For those that did however, did so out of patriotism for the war and because of the lack of opportunity. There was a mix between the two. In the text, most women were there for lack of opportunity because they were high school dropouts.
I enjoyed reading your post. You provided great definitions of both individual prejudice and institutional discrimination. There are two “forms” or dimensions of prejudice. One form of prejudice is known as feeling or affective prejudice (Healey & O’Brien, 2015, p. 21). This is where one has negative feelings towards certain groups and/or people of that group.
From the earliest of times in society, females have had to consistently fight for equality in society. The mistreatment of women often included violence, abuse, financial inequalities, harassment, voting inequalities, and many more inequalities that men have not had to face compared to females. These unacceptable actions that are often seen as “normal” in society are a grim reminder of what women endured and still have to endure today. Many women never had a platform to fight for change and call out injustice in fear of their safety, shame from others, and the threat of breaking “social norms”. However, many influential women risked many things for the basic rights that men have been enjoying for centuries.
Philip Chau 4/29/15 SXS 400 Violence Against Sexual and Gender Minorities There is always violence against sexual and gender minorities in the world and it still happening in the present. There are a lot of different type of gender and sexual minority groups. Some examples are Transgender, Gay, Lesbians, and etc. Even though they are still human beings they always get treated badly because of their sexuality.
The Latino culture has very strong ideas of the masculine and feminine image and what is accepted from each gender identity. The Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Queer (LGBTQ) Latinidad community as a result often do not fit into the roles their society expected them to fill. Due to the conflict in beliefs between the sexual orientation and ethnic background of a Latinidad LGBTQ member, they can face various difficulties that lead into mistreatment from themselves and the surrounding world. They often experience: a lack of acceptance in society, hash treatment, depression, self-hate, and resentment from their own religion.
Throughout time, women have been treated drastically different from men. A prominent example of this is featured in the movie The Patriot where women were supposed to be helpful housewives who didn't work and were considered subordinate to men. How women are treated today is a major result of feminism and the hard work of others who support women's rights. Women are no longer belittled and ignored as they were in the past, they are now considered strong, independent, and educated beings who will not back down from any challenge. A woman's role has changed immensely from the past to the present because they were formerly treated as inferior to men and were required to be subservient towards them, yet they are now educated individualistic beings
Many women are often victims suffering from physical abuse and political injustices. Society portrays them as submissive and silenced. Even though now women are able to join the workforce, they are still getting paid less than men. Despite America’s status as a civilized country, the degradation persists in too
Latina Women Are the Same As Anyone Else Being a woman in this world is hard, but being a Latina woman is even harder. Being a Latina women in the US and in Latin countries are just as equally difficult. People always talk about discrimination against African-American and their past but every one always forget about the fact that Latinas have and still face with the discrimination in their work life and in their daily life. They have studies “that show that about 3 in every 10 Hispanic worker feel that they have been discriminated against in their employment and some report being referred to with racial slurs at work while 1 in 4 feel they are paid less and have reduced career advancement prospects than their Caucasian counterparts.
Asian Americans, an ethnic group mistreated by society from the beginning of their arrival in America up until now with no ending on the horizon. For many decades Asian Americans have lived their lives faced with prejudices and oppression and even racial discrimination by the American society. Many individuals in the Asian American communities are unaware or just ignore the fact that they are oppressed by the American society. Asian Americans, to a degree, even face racial segregation which is ever so present with labeling of small areas of towns where certain ethnics congregate as Chinatown, Little India, Little Saigon, Japan Town, etc. For decades, Asian Americans endure and continue to endure this unjust treatment of their minority group
Disparities and Discrimination in US Criminal Justice System The US justice system is marred with instances of high degree discrimination and disparities and these stems from unprecedented poor management of the civil law in the country. Judging by the nature of historical injustices that have defined the criminal justice system, it goes without mentioning that, the confusion’s genesis is in the law itself and racial incarceration of the minority colored groups by the majority whites. Definition of the two terms is based on differences but the deviations are based on either legal terms or social, economic and political basis for the other. The degree of difference is highly unrecognizable but then it is clear that where disparity exists discrimination
The Canadian Human Rights Act, as expected, does not condone discrimination relating to pregnancy. This is according to the Canadian Commission's official policy statement. Discrimination against pregnant women is considered to be a form of sex discrimination, since only women can become pregnant. Areas of discriminatory practices against pregnant women covered by this policy include: negative treatment, refusal to hire or promote, termination of employment, and harassment. Unfortunately, in Canada, like many other countries, many women who become pregnant are criticized when it comes to their place in society.
Being a girl is hard, women have been the second best since the beginning of time, women weren’t allowed to do a man's job in the military and it’s time that further evolves into women and men doing all of the same jobs. Although, some may argue that keeping women protected from the harsh realities of war is the reasonable thing to do and those people have a valid argument when they say women aren’t emotionally stable enough to fight on the front lines, or that women aren’t strong enough to serve; this applies to some women not all. Women have proven themselves capable of so much more than the standard that is set for them in the military: overcoming their physical differences and putting the excuses to rest. The excuses about being a distraction to men and that women are going to be prioritized over fighting. The military makes us believe that everyone in the military is treated
It's better in The Bahamas" is one of the adage's we have all heard more than once. It is an opinion and is far from a righteous fact. The text "Discrimination" is the Bahamian Political Crack' was written by Fredrick Smith, published May 5th 2016. This text depicts the corruption of The Bahamas, and is based on discrimination and hate in general, discrimination and hate towards Haitians, and discrimination against women and the LGBT community in The Bahamas. Our country is plagued with an abundance of needed changes, that must be made by the people.
They continue to face the discrimination and exclusion in the world and violence. Like in EU, the same-sex couples and the opposite-sex couples have big difference because the same-sex couples do not enjoy their rights and protection compare to the opposite-sex couples.

According to The Wall Street Journal 88; The LGBT Community is the “dream market” because of its patronship, economic adaptability and their discretionary income. LGBT Tourism exists years even before the community has advanced its rights as it is now. Even the simple Gay bar night-out and Lesbian secret gathering is part of the LGBT tourism. Considering growing populace of the LGBT community makes a remarkable market to sell countless tourist attractions and has aspects to contribute in making Philippine Tourism prosper. “Overall, the gay and lesbian community reported more trips in the past 12 months, while travel had been down in the past two years’ surveys.
