Disclaimer: This is a highly controversial subject. My response here is simply an attempt to complete the requirements of this academic assignment. My response here does not represent my personal views regarding this controversial subject, and, thus, I should not be held liable for any offense. Lawrence Summers’ comments regarding the reasons for differences between men and women entering math and hard sciences careers were not particularly offensive. Summers’ comments simply represent the most commonly held beliefs of his generation. He suggests that women may be less suited for careers math and hard sciences because of environmental and inherently genetic factors. Perhaps, one of the strongest pieces of evidence in support of Summers’

  • Analysis Of When Bright Girls Decide That Math Is A Waste Of Time By Susan Jacoby

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    In her essay, “When Bright Girls Decide That Math is a ‘Waste of Time,’” Jacoby talks about how often times nowadays girls decide that they no longer want to take math and science courses in favor “easier” subjects such as English or art. Jacoby argues that this is because of stereotypes of women that have been instilled in girls by society; they think math and science are too hard or they aren’t as smart as boys so it’s not worth it to take them. Jacoby claims that “The real problem is that so many girls eliminate themselves from any serious possibility of studying science as a result of decisions made during the vulnerable period of midadolescence, when they

    She later states that, “sisters and brothers are exposed to the same parental backgrounds and attend schools of the same quality” (O’Neill, 2003, p.309). She has no evidential statistics to make that claim. Parental backgrounds vary from cultures, often boys are given more privileges than girls. It can be argued that families encourage boys and girls differently, which can be a factor to what school and career choice the individual wants to pursue. Without realizing, parents can pressure boys into aspiring for more prestigious careers to be able to support a family because of gender roles. Throughout history, women have proved that they are able to do the same work that males do. When it comes to work productivity, it can be argued that one sex does not have work done better than the other. In the statistics given, there is none that relate to a certain career. She continues to add on that the types of skills in a particular field of work are important but, does not give wage differences between men and women in particular jobs. There have been testimonies within workplaces that men are being paid more than women with no reasonableness. There could have been more statistics added to specify the fields of work that show significant differences in

    ...roblems of integration. If the science world takes advantage of undiscovered female talent, science as a whole will benefit greatly. For example, the original group of ENIAC programmers consisted of 6 women. In 1946, these women helped to develop the first operating stored-program computer.6 If female talent such as this goes to waste because of social neglect, the science world will never know what possible discoveries that could have been made with the help of women. If Dr. Djerassi is accurate with his examples of discrimination, the science world should take note of these problems and attempt to solve them.

  • Lyndon B Johnson Argumentative Essay

    910 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, is not one of the most well-known presidents to have ever served in office though he did do some good things during his presidency. The vice president’s journey to the presidency began after the assassination of the beloved president, John F. Kennedy. Before serving as president, he was the youngest Senator to ever serve as a majority leader and he sat in the House of Representatives. Although Johnson served two terms as president, he only ran in one election because of the death of Kennedy. However, the one election he ran in, he won in by a landslide (Ridings & Melver 231). Lyndon B Johnson, the Democratic president, who served from 1963-1969, might have been infamous for the decisions he made during the Vietnam War, but his Great Society and Civil Rights Act helped shape the nation in a good way.

  • The Power of Words: Lawrence Summers' 2005 Speech on Inequality

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    Words can be powerful, especially when those words are spoken by the president of a top university. In a 2005 speech by Lawrence Summers, he put forth the hypothesis that there are more men than women in the most high end positions due to a different set of measurable attributes, rather than it being caused by pervasive sexism or discrimination. To make it to the top of highly demanding fields, one has to be of exceptional quality and these are “people who are three and a half, four standard deviations above the mean in the one in 5,000, one in 10,000 class” (Summers, 2005). Summers is making the point that we should analyze the dataset that produces this type of result, rather than saying it’s all because of discrimination. Summers does not deny that discrimination exists, but he argues it cannot explain every difference. While there are more women in science and math based majors than ever before, fewer of them are in the top research positions that require the most demanding work and longest hours. Summers was strongly criticized and forced to resign as president of Harvard.

  • Darren Wilson's Argumentative Essay

    1101 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the world we live in today, racial discrimination occurs in almost every diverse society. The United States is one of the countries in which are no exception to this issue. More specifically, Missouri is a state which holds a vast population of African Americans, causing animosity towards particular races. In the summer of 2014, a reported robbery to the Ferguson police caused a 90 second scene between Michael Brown, an African American teenage boy, and Darren Wilson, a white officer. This act created a massive conflict which lead to the end of the boy’s life. Although one’s perspective differs from another’s, the Grand Jury’s decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson was justified because of Wilson’s self-guardianship, and the physical

  • Male Superiority In Math: Fact or Fiction?

    1359 Words  | 3 Pages

    One true mystery of mathematics is the small number of female mathematicians. When most people think of mathematicians, they automatically assume that they are male. This leads to the idea that boys are mathematically superior to girls, which has long been a popular belief. Recent studies, however, may prove this to be wrong. The fact is that there are numerous female mathematicians who have made very important contributions to the mathematical world throughout history. Although they may not be as famous as some other comparable male mathematicians, their work is very important simply because they did significant work in a field that has always been assumed a man’s domain for some reason or another. Despite this, they still worked on mathematics because of the importance that they place on it.

  • What Is The Gender Gap In STEM

    1702 Words  | 4 Pages

    STEM is best known as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM for many years has been primarily seen as and stereotyped into a masculine work field. But as of recent years, while it expands, more and more women have been rising in these fields. However, there is still a tremendous gender gap between men and women in these fields and areas of work. The gender gap between men and women in STEM is alive and well. There is no denying that the gender gap between men and women in STEM is immense. But there instead are many sufficient reasons as to why there is such a huge gap between men and women within in fields. Some probable causes for the lack of women seen in these areas are biased towards women, unconscious bias girls receive

  • Gender and Mathematics

    941 Words  | 2 Pages

    Firstly, because boys are more engaged with mathematics and sciences, most people think that their performance in this particular field is better than girls’. People who believe this to be true argue that the most brilliant minds of the all times and the most successful scientists are men. They even go further reminding the society that every concentration that is mathematics-related is overpopulated by representatives of male gender. In other words, boys are more likely to attend universities that are related with mathematics and sciences. For instance, if you walk by the Mathematics and Science Faculty in the University of Pristina you can come across mostly male students attending this faculty. Even more, if you go further and search for the academic staff in this institution, you can see ...

  • Women and Mathematics

    Call me a bigot if you want but men are better mathematicians than women. Year after year, men score higher on the SAT’s, more men receive prestigious educations from the best technical schools in the nation, and men obtain more degrees, secure more jobs and get promoted more often. “The ETS report on students taking the SAT examinations indicates that males have traditionally scored 40-50 points higher on the mathematics section” (Women) “In 1996, California Institute of Technology’s enrollment was 75% male, Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s enrollment was 62% male, Renssalear Polytechnic Institute’s enrollment was 77% male, Rochester Institute of Technology’s enrollment was is 68% male, and Worchester Institute of Technology’s enrollment was 79% male” (Baron’s). The future for women who enter the work place as mathematicians is no more encouraging. “Roughly three times as many women are unemployed and six times as many women are in part time positions. The female mathematicians who acquire these full time jobs are less likely than men to be promoted to a position such as full or associate professor” (awm-math.org). Females’ lack of success as mathematicians has nothing to do with their mathematical potential. The reason females do not excel in mathematical fields can be explained by high school course selection, social pressures and support and not by genetic differences.
