Congratulations America, you’ve elected an angry cheeto as our president. As the election is two days behind us, the apocalypse seems to be coming closer each day. Protests have broken out all over the country, and it is even more unsafe to be a person of color or of a certain religion than it was before. For the last eight years, America has been led by a black man, for the first time literally ever. Obviously it is heartbreaking and upsetting to watch Obama give up his presidency to a man who is endorsed by the KKK, the same KKK who brutally murdered so many innocent people. People are angry because we as a country have progressed so much in the last 8 years with Obama’s help, and to see a man come to power who has promised to take a lot of it away is absolutely unacceptable. With whatever your race, gender, religion, or sexuality, you should be promised equal rights, equal pay, an equal protection. …show more content…
According to the Atlantic, a woman earns 79% of a man’s wages. Companies say they demand “equal work for equal pay”, but if that was truly the case, wouldn’t we have had equal pay a long time ago? But honestly, this gap is not as bad as the earnings of people of other races. According to Time, compared to the White Man’s $21 per hour, Black men get $15, Hispanic men get $14. It is even worse for women of color, with Black women earning $13 per hour, and $12 for Hispanic Women. If Hillary won the election, it would have been our chance to change these inequalities and finally make progress in the seemingly never-ending fight for
Though any pay disparity between women and men is a pressing issue, the “wage gap” is much more complicated than people believe because of misleading statistics, unaccounted for variables, and the different social and economic choices of men and women. The common idea that women make 77 cents on every dollar men make in the workplace is very misleading. It is true, however, this statistic ignores any factors that justify different pay. The wage gap is just the difference

On the contrary, women still get paid less than men. According to CNN Money, “men still make more than women in most professions -- considerably more in some occupations than others, according to a new study by the job search site Glassdoor”. Although we like to comfort ourselves with the idea that we have gotten our rightfully earned rights, we had not been given bathroom breaks until 1998. Furthermore, employees are still afraid to have a voice in the workforce. Employers establish rules that let laborers know that they are inferior.
The reality of wage differences between men and women is that above all changes women continue to earn less than men. Countless arguments have promoted that wage inequality has changed and that everyone finally receives an equal amount of pay. “For women of color, the gap is largest of all: In 2006, black and Hispanic women earned 86 and 87 cents on the white man’s dollar, respectively,” (Mcswane 2). If a woman is lucky enough she will get an equal pay compared to a man doing the same job. But it is challenging for a woman of a minority background to achieve this. Not only are women paid less because of their sex, but also because of their race. There seems to be a mentality that because someone is a woman and a minority that they cannot do the same job as men or that women do not have the same education as the men, so employers do not have to pay them the same. “When the numbers are broken down by district, they 're pretty hard to ignore. Women in Texas are being utterly screwed financially, according to the data compiled by AAWU, with women earning anywhere from 66 percent of what men do in some districts, to the top end of things, which is about 89 percent,” (Leicht 4). The proof cannot be ignored. It i...
There is a pay gap between men and women in the U.S. The pay gap affects women of all educations levels, and backgrounds. But white men are the largest demographic in labor forces so they possibly favor each other as opposed to women. The graph didn’t specify the type of jobs, or whether they were working parts time or fulltime. But in 2016, women working full time in the U.S. were paid 80% of what men were getting paid. There are some occupations that have not reached the equity but some have like retail, banking and real
Wow! Haven’t you heard? Cucumbers contain a certain ingredient that killed several people and made others very ill! Here is some more information on the latest scoop. The cucumber contains salmonella, which is known as food poisoning. This can be very dangerous, and it was! Salmonella is a bacteria that occurs mainly in the intestine, which causes food poisoning. There were 341 ill in 30 states, including the two deaths in California and Texas. Scary right? This shows how vulnerable you are to get food poisoning from cucumbers just as much as everyone else. Next time be careful before you eat a cucumber, because you never know what it can do to
Many people know the name Donald Trump very well, while others know little about him. Some have very strong opinions to Trump running for president and others are on his side, despite what he says. This is a very controversial topic in politics right now, especially because he has many supporters and he is a republican. Donald Trump has too many suspicions about his running for president. For example, he ran for president before as a Democrat but failed and he went to run again, but is now a Republican. Trump also had gone bankrupt before, yet he is running for president. He also has made statements that he wants to stop immigrants from coming into the United States, which has made a lot of people believe he is racist. There are many different
The year 2016 is the year that will bring the end to something that African Americans thought to be the impossible, the end of a 4 year term for the first African American president Barack Obama. African-Americans have gone through the pain and suffering of being sold and used like cattle, to the hardships of fighting for their rights and equality. Racism has been a serious issue regarding African-Americans for centuries, and despite having an African-American president America still has this existing issue in our country till this day. Due to the seemingly never-ending racial discrimination against blacks, many innocent lives have been taken. Popular slogans such as “Black lives matter” rid the streets as people riot and remind us of the prejudice
The wage gap not only represents gender discrimination in the workplace, it also reflects the ongoing issue of racial discrimination. While white women do typically earn less than white men, they out earn the majority of female colored workers in America. The average African American female makes only 64 cents for the white man’s dollar. Additionally, Hispanic women receive only 54 cents to their white male coworker’s dollar (Hegewisch para. 9).
Equal Rights may not be a big issue in the United States right now but it's a part of history that needs to be rewritten into the constitution to help the pay gap decrease, make court rulings even more clear and make workplace treatment the same for every
From the beginning of history and to this day women still get paid less than the average man, but why? Whoever said that women are incapable of good work performance? Whoever said that women do not have the same responsibilities to maintain? What really makes a women’s work inferior to men? The answer is nothing. Today, women are depended on just as much as men, and are capable of performing at their level. However, a full-time working woman earns only seventy-seven cents for every dollar a man makes. These days women make up half the workplace in our society; they work just as hard and for the same reasons. Women deserve to be paid at an equal rate as men because they are relied on to uphold the same responsibilities and are just as qualified to perform at a man’s level.
Women have fought for their rights throughout history, but even in the present the fight isn’t over. The gender wage gap has been around for a long time, and we still have yet to take the actions to close it. About half of the American population are women. That means that a hundred and fifty-seven million people may not be getting paid what they deserve (Howden and Meyer 2). Some citizens say that the wage gap is completely a myth.
It is very important to be concerned about the issue because it is constantly increasing throughout the United States. It upsets me that women are paid less than men because women have the same ability and work ethic as men do, but they are looked at differently. According to AAUW, women make 77 percent of what men make. This rate hasn’t changed since 2002 (Hill, 2013). Statistics show that women will never make as much as men due to the thought of never being comparable to men (Williams, 2013).
Good Morning, Mrs. Foreman and fellow classmates, I’d like to thank you for letting me present to you my information today. Our current president, Donald Trump, has caused an uproar with his recent executive decision of his ban on immigrants from certain countries. This intolerable act by our nation’s leader is debated politically as what would be the best choice for Americans.
Women and men can earn close to the same amount of money as long as the woman doesn’t have children. As soon as a woman has children the pay gap between men and women becomes wider due to childcare, parental leave and career advantage converge. (Cunningham-Parmeter 10) Women are already paid less than men but then it gets worse when they do what they are biologically meant to do. There is no reason for that. Men and women need equal pay due to the fact sometimes the woman is the one supporting the family.
