Every year a percentage of women who build a career and climb up the ladder constantly grow. Often girls after graduation prefer a career to a family. In most cases, the reason for this is the desire to ensure life, improve their status in society. However, in the workplace woman faces challenges that require immediate solutions. Professional activity is one of the spheres of self-identity, personalization. While managing professional work a woman has the opportunity to discover and develop the abilities, personal and professional qualities to achieve recognition of her originality, significance for other people and for society as a whole. A special role is played here by the quarry. In the modern sense the career is a kind of search for own self, own way. On the one hand it means that a person could realize him/herself, and on the other - that the work done is highly appreciated. Considering a career in a woman's life pointing out the complexity and diversity that it has for a woman is rather important.
Women were and still are discriminated against by the majority in the field of professional labor for centuries. Even today at the beginning of the XXI century the society is still at the stage of savagery since reproductive function is declared as the main purpose of female. In many countries, women are deprived of the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to implement professional knowledge, experience and skills. This is due to conservative views on the distribution of family roles, blind copying the traditions of patriarchy.
High social status for women in most countries is hardly achievable. This means that a woman is not a full-fledged member of society. Most often women are refused or hindered the implementation of selec...

Though they were discriminated against their nature proved them to not be submissive and subordinate in all aspects.

  • Women in the Workplace

    Barbara White, author of Women’s Career Development, gives an opportunity for successful women to give advice to other women wanting to pursue a career in the workforce. First, they explained that women need to be single-minded today. They must make their own choices and know what they want. If a woman hopes to achieve her goal of an ‘American Dream’ and live up to it, then she should be persistent and keep working at achieving her objectives. The best advice given in White’s book is that a woman should not underestimate herself (227-229). A woman today can be whatever she pleases. It takes work, dedication and persistence to achieve goals in general, not just in the career aspect of life. As seen through Joan Crawford and Dawn Steel’s stories, a ‘business woman’ has a bright future now and for years to come. Women’s roles have drastically changed throughout the past century along with the actual number of women now working. It is phenomenal to see such an increase in women’s participation, and hopefully this course will continue even higher into the twenty-first century.

  • The Discrimination of Woman in the Workplace

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    One important question that needs to be asked is, “what is equal?” Equality between sexes and race has been stressed and made law in the late nineteenth century, but even though laws have been made to protect woman from this discrimination, it still occurs frequently. Equal is being treated the same way and having the same opportunities no matter who one is. Big business has not given women the chance to be equal with men. One does not normally see a woman as the owner, or even the manager of a major corporation, these jobs consistently go to men. Traditi...

  • The Criminal Justice System as a Gendering Structure

    3863 Words  | 8 Pages

    The narrow view of the world that we often experience prevents us from even engaging for or against ideals that we would take on, given the chance. We often become deaf to opportunity, however. While it may seem we are complicit in many of the injustices that our society perpetuates, often times we are not even aware of the issue. An uninformed decision will be as bad as no decision. Many problems exude from the state of our social values. The role that women play in society is slowly changing from that of a ‘nurturer’ to any role a woman strives for. Progress has come through much pain and the hope is one day there will be real equality in the results of our societies spoken and unspoken laws.

  • Women in the Late 19th Century

    1218 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout nineteenth century Europe and leading into the twentieth century, the division and integration of equal rights and liberties towards both genders was a predominant issue. From the 1860’s and beyond, male suffrage was expanding due to working-class activism and liberal constitutionalism, however women were not included in any political participation and were rejected from many opportunities in the workforce. They were considered second-class citizens, expected to restrict their sphere of influence to the home and family, and therefore not encouraged to pursue a beneficial education or career. Because they were seen as such weak entities, the only way they were able to advocate their interests and dissatisfaction was through their own independent organizations and forms of direct action. With hard work towards improving women’s involvement in the workforce and towards political emancipation, womanhood gradually became redefined. When looking back on these crucial times in history, it is necessary to view how various images and ideas of females represented such integral symbols in modern Europe that influenced the pivotal changes they succeeded in putting forward. Earlier photos show women in society as solely conforming to what society wants them to be, however later this changes and images of women go against what is seen as appropriate and advertise the efforts made towards gender equality.

  • Analyzing Career Theories

    958 Words  | 2 Pages

    Application of career theories to my own life allows for analyzing past and future career decisions. Holland’s Theory of Careers states that one’s vocation is an expression of self, personality, and way of life. There is an indisputable and fundamental difference in the quality of life one experiences if they choose a career one truly enjoys, versus choosing a career one detests. A true testament to the validity of Holland’s theory, my job/career choices reflect my interests, as well as the evolution of my personality (internal self). My first job as a fine jewelry specialist and second job as a make-up artist echo my love of the fashion world. As I matured and became less fascinated by presumed “glamour” careers, I became captivated by physical fitness, nutrition, and medicine; I received my national fitness trainer certificate so that I may become a personal trainer. Nevertheless, my career decisions do not fit uniformly into merely one career theory.

    Introduction Donald Super was of the opinion that the career transitions was the direct result of de-stability in the personal events or the socio-economy. Under these circumstances it was not a special event if a transition took place from one particular life stage to the next one. A sense of experience is developed through the career development theories. One can predict the future and explain the past and as a result a clear direction is obtained due to these theories.

Socioeconomic factor, the abilities relating to mantel and physical conditions, personal characteristics and the opportunities which the person encounter and make the career pattern clear and workable. To find satisfaction in career most of the people try to find it in their work role and at the same time they are able to develop the self concepts. Maturity in careers do not come so easily some time it takes the whole span of life to reach such a stage where one could become confident that he has attained maturity in his work. In Super's opinion self concept is a very important part of his theory. The self-concept is not that easy to attain. It may develop though mental growth, physical ability, to identify with the adults one is working with, general experience and environment. When the awareness of work become at par with the experience than the vocational self concept turns more sophisticated and the formation becomes more complete.

    ...o become professionals in all business and personal aspects of life. Today, we see women working in all work fields including, lawyers, engineers, doctors, etc. Although, they still faced some type of discrimination especially when it comes to wages, they have achieved what they were trying to achieve many years ago. After the women’s right movement, some privileges such as voting rights, no discrimination of jobs, and equal pay in jobs have been put in the same level as men in today’s society. Actually, we now see men being the “housewives” and the children caretakers while their wives are the ones to work and bring the money to the family. That is how much impact women have in today’s society. People didn’t realize that what a men was capable of doing so could a women. We can now express how women are free and how they were taken for granted in the earlier years.

  • Gender Inequality at a Workplace

    1117 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is, therefore, natural for most companies to think that women cannot be as capable as men in terms of assuming strenuous or challenging positions because women, by default, become less participatory and more vulnerable when they start to have family and children. Apparently, this situation has led to various gender discriminations in the labor market. In conclusion, although the roles of men and women have radically changed over the turn of the century, it is still inevitable to have various gender-related occupational differences because the social and biological roles of women and men do not really change. Society still perceives women as the home makers and men as the earners, and this perception alone defines the differing roles of men and women in the labor market.

    It will be one of the luckiest things in the world if people could just do what they love in their careers, and pursue their dreams without any fears or worries about how society and others judge them. However, women in this society do not obtain the same rights that men own; many inequalities hinder women to live and work. From this class, I learned a lot about gender affects work, and women and men’ roles can be very different in the work. In many industries, even though women get same education and professional degrees as men do, they are hired at lower rates than men are. Many women meet glass ceilings and find it is hard to attain the highest status in the profession, and this causes the society locks women out of higher level
