In the article titled Face-off on the playing field By, Judith B. Stamper explains girls have their own story of support or discrimination, success also the debate of girls be allowed to compete on boys’ sports team. First, the writer Title IX explains female athletes are been treated second-class for long enough and should pass of inequalities and biases of girls. The writer also clarifies that girls doing sports make them healthier, physically, and emotionally. Other girls that don’t play sports are less likely to use of drugs. In addition, she notes a former Stanford University basketball player Mariah says, strength and independence of things girls learn from sports, the opportunities that are changing women.
There are several factors influencing womens participation in sports, these include the gender and experience level (Byers et al 2012:148). For centuries, a discipline like golf has been perceived as an elitist sports for older people with high socioeconomic background who used sports to excluded women from sports, maintain gendered practices and class systems (Woodside and Kozak 2014, Guttmann 1991:1-2). They also said their ability to pay to participate gave them the power to choose the kind of service they required. For
Most men that like women want women but underestimate their abilities. Most people believe that women are not good at sports as men. Women completed the same accomplishments and more just as men. Men and women not get the same pay amount ever since President Nixon signed law title 9 in 1972 ( Title IX and the growth of women’s Athletics). Nowadays women plays every sport that men play.
She explores the nondiscrimination aspect of equal opportunity and suggests that the characteristic of sex should not be taken into account in relation to sports. In the article, it is explained that philosophers have developed three major positions concerning equal opportunity, but have focused on fields in which the sexes are either known or assumed to have equal potentialities. In regards to sports, some relevant differences between the sexes do appear to be permanent. This causes all three major positions concerning equal opportunity to be deficient when applied to this area. The author attempts to explain how physical attributes that men have and women do not add to the lack of equal opportunity in the sports
Title IX the Catastrophe It is important that youth are active, outgoing, and confident and extracurricular activities are a great way to expand their possibilities. In this case sports, it is well known that sport participation ratio between boys and girls is not exact and in the past that gap was larger, yet the conclusion we draw from this result is that title IX has been effective. This is simply not the truth in fact I believe it has been counterproductive to youth sports in particular boys’ participation. Government involvement is almost never the answer especially with something as straightforward as organized play.
Many people do not know the law Title IX. Most people who have an idea of it think it only applies to women’s sports. Title IX, signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon, states that, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance”. The word “sports” was not at all stated in the definition. It is just one of the many reasons why Title IX was passed.
Should There Be Gender Testing in Sports Nati Schueneman Lake Michigan College Imagine yourself as a perfectional athlete who’s gone to the Olympics and won gold medals. All this was possible because you trained hard no days off. Suddenly you have a new rival that’s stronger and faster than you will ever be.
According to the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education (NCWGE), the benefits of increased participation affect female athletes but also society in its
Imagine finally having the sport you are most passionate about available for you to participate in, yet not being able to compete in it simply because you are not of the correct gender. Nowadays, this is a fairly common issue. Whether it is because of both gender differences or due to the common belief that “boys are stronger than girls”, coeducation exercise is not exceedingly popular. Although many people believe males are stronger than females and think that coed sports are unfair, this type of athletics can benefit all athletes in multiple ways because it will allow both genders to work together more efficiently, allow the participants and sponsors to pay less, and help create connections with others that would not originally be made.
It is evident that equality and equity between genders, males and females, has had its struggles. This struggle to promote fairness has been expressed through various mouvements such as from the suffragettes emerging in the late 20th and early 21st century, and the recent He for She movement to bring both genders to work together as one. Despite these efforts, in the hockey world, male domination inhibits female athletic success to reach such high level. This is displayed through history, funds and media. Earlier times imposed that women work less on their athleticism.
Women athletes and women workers do not get the recognition they deserve. Men especially, look down upon women when it comes to their appearances, their knowledge and a women's physical and mental strength. In certain cases, a woman loses out on a job in the sports industry because she is exactly a woman. A male trainer can refuse to train women because of the parts her body has. Men and women have grown up in a world with the mindset that women know less than men when it comes to sports.
“ No person… shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination” ( Wong). Within sports, many females get discriminated due to being “weak” or less interesting to watch. Some get less pay for having not equal amounts of participation as men do. The main issues are whether or not females and men should receive equal pay grade and whether if one does not participate as much which should they get the same attention. Equal pay grade may determine whether females play just as much as men and participate.
3.3 Ager & Strang model of refugee integration Integration has become both a key policy objective related to the resettlement of refugees and other migrants (Ager and Strang, 2008) As I mentioned in the previous chapters refugee integration has identified as a chaotic concept and there is not specific standard definition for the refugee integration (Castles et al., 2001). As a solution Ager and Strang has introduced a theoretical framework for refugee integration and it has mentioned key indicators of the refugee integration (Ager and Strang, 2004). The framework specified ten core domains in that shape understanding of the concept of integration. The domains cover achievement access across the sectors of employment, housing, education, health assumptions and practice regarding citizenship and rights, processes of social connections within and between the groups in the community, at the end they mention some barriers for the successful integration in the host country for refugees; language and cultural knowledge and fear and instability. (Ager and Strang, 2008: 185).
Gender Inequality in sports is an issue as old as sport itself. I choose this topic because we as a society seem to sweep it under the rug time after time. Women in sports however, try to address the issue only to have it go on deaf ears, leaving them to continue in the sport hoping something will change. Over the last few decades, strides have been made, but he sport remains an institution dominated by men. These women, whether they are in sport or in the business world, want a fair chance to be on the same level as their male counterparts.
“Female discrimination in sports is a common occurrence all around the world, women are seen as less than males.” (Ladrea) Equality in sports is unequal. In the 1800 women got very little attention and did not get the opportunity to play in any sport in America and all around the world. Men could go and try out for different sports teams and workout but for women they were only allowed to stay home to cook and clean. There were some events women could participate in but it could not be competitive, it was focused on getting active and staying active.
