Bibliography
In this source, The
World Bank article talks about the issues for women, mainly concerning gender
equality issues. The article relates that to discrimination and deprivations
that prevent women of all ages from portraying their talent out into the business
world. According to The World Bank, they plan on obliterating poverty by
establishing first, women equality around the world and then making more
professional jobs available to women. The World Bank is an organization that
solves the world’s problems. Their intended audience is intellectual
individuals who are in the range of high school students and senior citizens. This
source is also one of my main sources that I will go off of for my main idea. My
main idea for my paper is how the workforce still sticks to the rules that are
at a disadvantage for women.
Horwitz,
Steve. "Do Women Earn Less than Men?"
YouTube. YouTube, 30 Aug. 2011. Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwogDPh-Sow>.
This video off of
YouTube talks about how the fact for the average wage for women is less than
men is a myth. Horwitz says it is all about the paths women or men choose to go
for their career. He also points out solutions for both genders to equally
respect each other. He talks about how women should lean towards career paths
for science and math, while men should pay more attention and provide more work
around the house for their kids. Steve Horwitz is a professor at St. Lawrence University
and is sponsored by Learn Liberty. Learn Liberty is an educational channel that
focuses on the big questions about society and what makes it free and
prosperous. This source will help me with my rebuttal when I talk about how it’s
not all about sexism.
Jones,
Bernie D. “Women Who Opt Out: The Debate
over Working Mothers and Work-family Balance.” New York: New York UP, 2012.
Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
In this article,
written by Bernie Jones, he writes that women aren’t all meant for the business
industry. In fact, some women just want to be home with their family as a job.
He talks about how women want to maintain their feminine role in the household
in order to please their husbands who come home from work. Bernie Jones is an
assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts and has a Ph. D in
History and J.D. in Law. He has over 10 achievements in awards and prizes. I plan
to use this source also as my rebuttal, but this one I will mostly refer to.
Klotz,
Frieda. "Equality At Work For Women: Is This As Good As It Gets?"
Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 16 Dec. 2011. Web. 29 Mar. 2015.
<http://www.forbes.com/sites/friedaklotz/2011/12/16/equality-at-work-for-women-is-this-as-good-as-it-will-get/2/>.
In this article, the
main focus is the equality of women in the workplace. It portrays more facts
when women would eventually get the rights they deserve to work with the higher
authorities in businesses. This article focuses more on the future of women in
the workplace and how it would affect the economy. Frieda Klotz is a blogger,
journalist, and a book author. When she blogs, she mainly talks about the
problems for women’s identities and the tough choices women make in the modern
world, whether it is for a career or when they are around children. I will use
this source a lot as well because she makes references to a lot of facts that are
reliable.
In this article, in
order to have women equality in the workplace, companies have to change their
rules. They have to abandon all other stereotypical situations, and think of
women as an equal to everybody else. This main point in the article is to help
regulate the norms of the company rules for the women instead of regulating
women to be in par with the company rules. Jeremy Moon is a professor and a
director of the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility. He
mostly focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility and government regulations in
the workforce rules. This source will help me dive into the faults of
government policies when it comes to equality for women in the workplace.
Project
Proposal
For my project proposal, I am going to be talking about
how women in the workforce can be created at an equal level with men. It is
about gender equality issues. Not only will my topic be about the workforce,
but how women can also help eliminate poverty around the world, just by giving
back more of our deserved rights. One question I will be asking throughout my
paper is: How far should women go to get their rights back in the workforce?
Should we do a boycott for not working or straight up take over everything? The
next question I will answer is: if women were to have equal rights as men, what
benefits or disadvantages would there be? This question could go both ways as
there are women who are fine with the way things are. This leads to the third
question which is: how can those women who are fine with the way things are,
help advance in the “man’s” world? This is even when these women are just
helping around the house feeding the children and cleaning surfaces, like a
traditional housewife. Overall, women have always had a big impact on
everyone’s lives. It all goes from giving life, educating life and creating
love in our hearts. We are also strong enough to handle ourselves. This is all
the more reason as to why we deserve more rights in the workplace to show those
men what we are made of. We can strut our ideas just as much as we do in high
heels.
