When using quotes, the author can show that he has done research because he pulled the quotes from multiple sources. An example of this ethos is on page 32 chapter two, it states “Tolstoy once wrote what fascinated him about war was “its reality” – not the strategies of generals or the maneuvers of troops but the “actual killings”. “He was more interested to know in what way and under the influence of what feelings one soldier kills another”.

Not only women face sexism, but gender and racial bias from work. This turns into the “competitive threat” when a woman worries that a female newcomer will outshine her in the workplace. Workers do not respect female bosses compared to men so that prompts the bosses to treat workers worse, which causes the workers to think less of their boss and most likely continue disrespecting them. Women seem to not be respected by men just as easily, that respect needs to be commended. Also, for those women that gave honest feedback were liked less and less likely to be hireable.

The unsuccessful use of ethos makes the reader feel like the author’s piece is irrelevant to read. What’s going to make them believe this author has something to say that is actually worth listening to? It goes as far as the process it took for the author to make the article.

Gender discrimination and gender roles play a significant role in modern day society. Many envision feminism as making sandwiches in the kitchen, but feminism is found in the work force, religion, and even politics. Why is it men are generally the leaders, Gods, and Presidents? Why is it rare to see a woman as the boss, a God, or President? When the public sees an authoritative man, they often respect him and find him to be persuasive, and dedicated. However, when a woman is seen as an authoritative figure, she is often considered pushy, bossy, conceited and emotional. This paper will analyze how these labels against women create inequalities among gender roles. It will do this using the story of Whale Rider, to convey how leadership roles and identity politics were shaped by feminism, tradition, and culture in a society.
