Status of Women in the United States

The status of wo custody in the United States throughout history has grown significantly. Throughout history wo workforce had fewer legal rights and course opportunities than. Women were come upn to be just wives and mothers and take c argon of the homes while the husbands worked. Women did non cave in a say in having jobs, voting, or even attending college. It appears that a lot of affaires began to change around the 19th and 20th century. For example in the beginning of the 19th century, women began working outside the homes in large numbers, in textile mills and garment shops.The medical profession had also changed their berth about women as hygienic. This was considered to be suitable work for women. In the 1920s women were condition the right to vote, however their semi policy-making roles were minimal. Women stimulate made a broad mark in the world today. Men shake become much acceptable of the different roles we play. The change throughout the eld pick out been reflected in the politics, employment and even in our status within the home. 2. The status of women in the U. S. is that women ar getting some of the akin benefits as men.There are numerous organizations that fight for the equality of women and they are succeeding. When we look at how women are promptly allowed to be doctors and nurses, and receive the same pay. We also direct see women in the courtrooms as judges and working in the construction area beside the men. Women have advanced greatly and have a lot to be gallant of . We are striving daily to be treated fairly with the men and it is well deserved. There may be a small constituent of males that may feel that women are non equal to them, however, the larger lot feels that women are equal.Women have struggled for years to be next to man and not in front or in back. Women work just has big(a) as a man and Appendix H3. however, the larger percentage feels that women are equal. Women have struggled for years to be next to man and not in front or in back. Women work just has hard as a man and should be paid just as well as a man. 3. somewhat of the concepts of masculinity and femininity I that I see in the society and in the media would be such as men should only be truck drivers, construction workers, railroad workers. Women should be in jobs such as nurses, homemakers, daycare providers, retail in the ladies departments.As far-off as the media is concerned, it is a little tricky to me because we instanter see men and women doing the news and also doing different television shows. Men used to be seen only doing the tough roles as gang members with guns and so forth. Women are now portrayed in these types of roles a well. Women and men may be seen as equally sharing these kinds of roles when it comes to the media. I think that it is a good thing for them to share roles equally. They both work hard and should be treated fairly. 4. The friendly status of GLBT people historically has been that th ey were not accepted into society years ago.They could not let society know that they were couples or they would either be jailed or even hurt. Most the them would have to keep their relationships hole-and-corner(a) from society and even from their own families due to the ridicule that they would suffer. Many men and women would have to pretend that they were heterosexual in society so that they would not be judged. They could not be open and honest about their unbowed identity. 5. The status of the LGBT is todays society is that they are accepted more into society. They have some(prenominal) activist that fight for their rights to be equal and they have won.For example, the biggest victory was same sex marriage. A lot of couples that were not able to broadcast their relationships are now able to be married. Appendix H4. 5. continued The couples are now able to enter society and be a family outside their homes without facial expression judged. They are able to express their feel ings openly through rallies, blogs, and in the media. They have come a long way and are proud of their accomplishments. 6. I believe that some of the social and political issues relevant to women and GLBT people in the United States is that same places of business are still having an issue with treating them fairly.For example, if a gay couples enters a place of business, they are automatically frowned upon and some are given less than fair treatment. When it comes to women, they are can be treated unfairly as far as when a woman goes to have her car repaired or if she goes to purchase a car. Many may see her as a helpless person and that she is not aware of what she is doing and depart try to take advantage of her. The political issues are that the GLBT are seen in the news as constantly protesting and fighting for their rights.Many people in the political arena who do not like this group allow for not support any cases, any bills to be passed to support this group. As for the po litical issues for women, I would have to say for an example regarding the support of abortion laws. Some on the political parties may not agree with this and so they will not support any passing of laws regarding abortion. Appendix H5.
