BCGSEU (1999) that “... the studies failed to distinguish the female test subjects from the male test subjects, who constituted the majority of the sample groups.” (para. 8). Failure to distinguish between male and female subjects could be seen as a case for both inequity and inequality.

In all aspects of daily, national, and world affairs, gender inequality has been a chronic issue that has always surfaced to plague humankind. Specifically, even before authors began documenting words on to paper, the supposed male superiority had been unchallenged by society. When one has mentioned a “surgeon,” it has been predominantly a male figure that “pops” into the mind; likewise, when one has mentioned a “nurse,” it has been undoubtedly a female figure, even though there have been, in fact, female surgeons and male nurses. Moreover, although gender inequality has been treated as a minor topic in the United States, it certainly has not implied that the remainder of the world has experienced the same (when compared to other issues). In the article, “Afghan Policewomen Struggle Against Culture” by Alissa J. Rubin, the gender roles of the Afghan people are revealed to be extremely skewed and, at times, demoralizing.…

This brings the issue of why is there any differences in the health care delivery system in our nation. We may need to look at the decision makers in public health and policy makers, medical educators and officials, most of the hospital administrators or any important medical personnel that are majority white. They operate with their specific white framing, normalizing stereotypes images of distinct racial groups. This links them to a discriminatory practice and results in institutionalized inequalities in health care. This is also true for women in work place, as the time norms reflects male ways of living and working.…

The “glass ceiling” was clearly evident in the business world, but I’m not fully exposed to that, being that I’m still in school. The history of gender inequality, on the other hand, was something I was completely unfamiliar with.…
The feminist perspective is the political stance of someone committed to changing the social position of women to bring about gender equality (Pilcher and Whelehan, 2004), whilst gender is described as the characteristics taken on by males and females in social life and culture through socialisation.

This essay will define how the feminist perspective has influenced the sociological study of gender inequality. It will summarise how the three founding fathers of sociology viewed men's oppression and women's…

Apparently, orientation for nurses was a “bloody hell” (Carlson, “Women, the Unknown Soldiers”). “The surgeon threw a pair of scissors at me and said, "Don't just stand there.…
