Personal Struggle:
1. She struggled balancing her family and job because she was a single parent who had three young children; who she wanted to care for to the best of her ability, but that required her to work. She couldn’t take care of her children while she worked, that required her to be in an office, and they are young and stayed at home.
2. Yes, because any gender can become the breadwinner of a family and as a parent, your children are your responsibility so you would have to take care of them while still trying to balance your job, to manage an income which can be a struggle. Any male can go through the struggle of balancing a family and a job.
Professionalism:

Small business owner:
11. His first risk was hiring Erin Brockovich because he did not know what qualifications she had and she was dressed very inappropriate for the job. His second one was taking on the case Erin Brockovich suggested because they were a small law firm while PG&E were a very successful company, so if he had lost the case, he would have stood the chance to be bankrupt. He also took a risk in tacking in all the Hinkley residents and being the one to lead them to the fight against PG&E and promising them a positive outcome.
12. Yes because she had no qualifications in law or work experience in a law firm. Erin also didn’t have the skills or knowledge to do her job because she had no work experience. Another risk is that he knew Erin Brockovich’s temper and how she reacted to people manipulating things and he did not consider whether she would be able to do the job that, he was hiring her for.

What her reasons for it were I don’t know. But she did a good job. She raised twelve children. She led a good life.”
Any conduct an employee is subjected to that goes against their will and protected under the law thus qualifies to be harassment. For the case of Gregg V. Hay-Adams Hotel, Clark’s behavior qualifies to be harassment since they were unwelcome by Gregg. According to the allegations made by Gregg, Clark made suggestive remarks towards her, which she never appreciated. Secondly, Clark made physical contacts with Gregg, which the latter states were very unwelcome. The suggestive remarks Clark made towards Gregg affected her emotional stability in one way or the other. She found the working environment very unwelcoming. Additionally, when Clark made physical contacts with her, Gregg must have felt that the workplace was unsafe for her existence. We can categorize this form of harassment as a sexual harassment.
...nspired to make a change that she knew that nothing could stop her, not even her family. In a way, she seemed to want to prove that she could rise above the rest. She refused to let fear eat at her and inflict in her the weakness that poisoned her family. As a child she was a witness to too much violence and pain and much too often she could feel the hopelessness that many African Americans felt. She was set in her beliefs to make choices freely and help others like herself do so as well.
Today, women are not typically seen in higher levels of position in the work force than men. In Anne-Marie Slaughter’s article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All”, she uses her own experience to convey why it is not possible for a woman to work in a higher position, due to women being more emotional than men. People still believe it’s a women’s place to stay at home to cook, clean and take care of the children, while the men go to work to pay the bills. And it’s considered odd if the man is a stay at home father and the woman is working 24/7 and is never home. Even though it is rewarding to be able to always be there to see your child’s milestones in their life. It is always nice to get away from that life for even a moment. I don’t mean going out with the girls or guys, while you hire a babysitter, but helping your husband or wife pay the bills, so you have two rather than one income coming in at the end of the month. In Richard Dorment’s article, “Why Men Still Can’t Have It All” he states that both men and women can’t have it all. I agree with both Slaughter and Dorment, but not entirely. I believe if you want to be a good
Therefore, even if the facts show that these employees where somehow providing professionally approved care, i.e. physically restraining her during an out of control incident, the patient’s perception that she was being physically and sexually assaulted remains to be the outcome. Therefore, according to the consequential theory of ethics, this behavior would not be considered ethical. Therefore, an alternative action, or one that is not perceived to be threatening and harmful, must be executed.
Because she could not find work in the field of mathematics, she tried going into a life as a poet, theatrical critic, novelist, wife and mother.
In our culture, a person’s gender can hold them back or propel them in the work force, in social situations, and even in childrearing. Girls are taught that more feminine qualities are important for them to obtain. These traits include being more caring, compassionate, and understanding, as well as quiet, and patient. All of these traits are seen as necessary to raise children. Boys are raised to have more masculine qualities, which do not include being patient, expressive of one’s emotions, and nonaggressive behaviors. Men are taught that they should be aggressive and able to defend their family. This includes being able to provide financially for their family. When this is not achieved men are quickly judged and scrutinized. Our society places a debilitating stigma upon men who are stay at home fathers; it makes them appear weaker and more feminine, which is a quality that is frowned upon in
Feminism does not need to be male versus female. Femininity shouldn’t come into play and rea really has nothing to do with the core beliefs of feminism. Just because a woman feels they want to play a different role other than professional, it doesn’t mean they are hurting the cause.

Criminal Justice professionals make decisions everyday and they have to be able to recognize when an issue involves ethical considerations. Therefore, in order to recognize these issues and make appropriate and correct decisions, it is important that the criminal justice professional study ethics. In order to make a good ethical decision the professional will have to have the ability to apply knowledge of ethics, know the ethical terminology and the concepts needed in making a good ethical decision.
Historically, males and females normally assume different kinds of jobs with varying wages in the workplace. These apparent disparities are widely recognized and experienced across the globe, and the most general justification for these differences is that they are the direct outcomes of discrimination or traditional gender beliefs—that women are the caregivers and men are the earners. However, at the turn of the new century women have revolutionized their roles in the labor market. Specifically in industrialized societies, the social and economic position of women has shifted. Despite of the improving participation of women in the labor force and their ameliorating proficiency and qualifications, the labor force is still not so favorable to women. The opportunities available for women in the market are not as diverse as those presented to men. Still, the construct of gender ideology influences how employers undertake economic decisions, and that is why companies still have jobs labelled as “men’s work” and occupations categorized as “women’s work.” Indeed, the pervasiveness of gender differences in labor markets is undeniably true, specifically with respect to salary gap between men and women, occupational gender segregation of men and women, and the challenge that women face in terms of juggling their time and attention between their career and family life.
The roles women typically play in the family may not always be consistent with success in the occupational arena. Staying home to care for a sick child may conflict with an important meeting (Broman 1991:511). Sometimes there has to be a change of plans when it comes to the family. Most people believe that family comes first no matter what. Men 's engagement in paid work fulfills prescriptions of hegemonic masculinity by facilitating their ability to gain status in the public sphere. A man can judge his worth by the size of a paycheck (Thebaud 2010:335). Most research shows that women are more likely to be effected by the household and men are more likely to be effected by their job. Some people feel that the goal is to reach higher on the occupational
However, the male gender distinctly has a larger variety of rights and opportunities in contradistinction to females. An example of this is, even in developed countries such as the UK, a gender pay gap of 15% exists with women on average earning £5,000 less a year than their male colleagues. The percentage of the gender pay gap is even greater for part-time jobs, going up to 35%. There can be no acceptable justification for this as your gender should not determine how much you get paid for a job. Women are being paid less for working efficiently for the same hours simply because they are women. Your gender defines you biologically, some may say emotionally (which again is an overlooked issue of gender inequality) but in no way does it determine how competent you are at a job. Without a doubt, there are males in a workplace who lack sufficient amount of knowledge and skill to be in the position they are currently at but are simply handed that position for the reason that their opposition is a female. In many cases, jobs which require similar skills, experiences and qualifications, pay workers less if dominated by women rather than men since men are seen as being more efficient than women for physical tasks. This shows again how a human’s gender brews up unfair
