Introduction

Basically, gender inequality is an unequal treatment in terms of gender, male and female. Gender inequality is mainly – discrimination of women. So women have fewer job opportunities and they do work which is believed not to be a work for men. Long time ago women used to do the housework and look after children, and men used to work and earn money. Nowadays we can see that women are treated unequally to men in some LEDC countries: African countries, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and some other Muslim countries. But gender inequality still exists in some extent in every country in the world in main areas of the society: political, economical and sometimes in social.

Main body (Discussion)

Gender inequality in social area of society
Mainly the service area (education, culture, healthcare, social welfare, public transport and etc.) is included into social area. So, basically, here we can see the most unequal treatment of men and women. In all those African and Muslim countries women are treated unequally in this social area. In other countries (MEDC countries: US, Russia, Japan etc.), if there is an unequal treatment, then it mostly happens in economical and political areas.

As an example of a country with unequal treatment, I will choose Pakistan. In Pakistan you can see gender inequality, for example in terms of education. In education, gender inequality means that women are not

    Society has conformed our minds to view gender based on one’s role in society. This labels the person as a man or a woman and then classifies them based on the “roles” that society has assigned for each. Gender inequality is caused by the unequal perceptions or even the way someone is treated, based on them being a man or woman. It tends to be the result of what is seen as socially constructed differences of the typical gender roles. This is a social problem I find compelling due to the impact it has on society.…

    Even the most modern countries still struggle with gender equality. The United States has made huge advances since the forties and fifties when women were encouraged to stay at home and be good little homemakers; barefoot and pregnant. Today 's workplace is filled with men and women doing equal jobs, however the equality stops in the job done. Women still struggle to attain equal pay for equal performance. Other modern countries carry similar standards to those of the U.S. yet some, perhaps archaic countries, still deal with the pre-historic standards of yesterday. Women are treated like possessions instead of the…

    According to James Henslin, gender is the primary division between people (p. 294). Sociologists classify females as the minority group even though there is more women than men in the world. Women are sometimes treated differently than men. Some believe that women are delicate and can’t do the job of men. Back in the days, women were treated badly. They were only allowed to stay home and take care of their children. Until 1920, women had the rights to do what men do. They were able to work and vote. Gender discrimination is in everyday life. We can see it in school and jobs. For example, sometimes people make comments that offend women. Coaches will call the boy girl names, if they don’t play a certain sport right. So in order to motivate them, they will either say “you play like a girl” or they shout “they’re wearing skirts” (Henslin, p. 304). With this we can see that people think women are weak and can’t do things right. We can also see gender discrimination in the work force. According to Joseph E. Stiglitz (2013), women are paid less than men. On average, women make 72 percent of what men make having a full time job in the United States (Henslin, p. 300). Many question why females get paid less than men. According to Jacobs (2003), women are more likely to choose low paying jobs such as teaching, and men go for better paying jobs like business or engineering (p. 312). With this I feel that…

    It is undeniable that women, in general, have suffered all sorts of discrimination and have been treated poorly by every society around the world for as long as history has been recorded. All countries in the world have announced their support to equal rights for women. Yet, on a daily basis, various forms of discrimination and violence against females take place around the world. Sometimes, men install glass ceilings to separate women, which prevent them from moving up in their careers. Sometimes, it is manifested through salaries with women being paid less than men. Discriminatory laws and social norms, which give preference to men in different fields, also reduce women to the status of a "second class citizen".…

    Gender values and norms can give rise to gender inequalities which when combined with gender differences give rise to inequalities between men and women in access to education. For example a girl or woman is unable to access the education because the norms in her community prevent her from doing so. Another example from developing countries can be that, children are unable to get education as they need to work hard to support the family, as accessing food and money is their major priority, for living may be.…
