Indeed, as recently as the 1980's, a survey that was conducted that asked the white respondents why blacks did not have the "finer things in life" with the same frequency as white people commonly responded that they did not try hard enough. However, the same article that cites this egregious thought pattern also notes that the nature of the problem and how it's perceived by different people has clearly evolved over time (Pride, 1999)
It is noted that many feel that child abuse is more prevalent in the black community but one study noted that this is perhaps a mirage because so many more black people are economically disadvantaged than white people. Because the massive disparity in social outcomes for blacks, it is very complicated to assess the rates per white person or black person and unfairly labeling blacks as tending to be more abusive is not helpful because it may very well not be accurate to do so (Saunders, Nelson & Landsman, 1993)
Gender inequality exists from the perception of an individual and their society. Gender inequalities in the eyes of western society exist in terms of the low position of women in Muslim societies (Inaki, 2010)
Wax (2007) indicates that more than 90% of women in every birth cohort dating back to the 1800s eventually got married. Changes in the society began in the 1960s, where the first indicator of social inequality was indicated by changes in marital behavior (Kathryn & Joanna, 2005)
In 2004, Americans also felt that homosexuals should also enjoy equal rights and opportunities in employment. However, despite the acceptance of same-sex unions, congress did pass the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (McVeigh & Maria-Elena, 2009)
The study found that there was a temporal correlation between a decrease in gender inequality and an increase in class inequality. Though the correlation existed, the factors or trajectories that determined each type of inequality were different (Walby, 2003)
Women are the ones that do account for 44 percentages of those working in industrial (Kwong, 1999). Some research even shows that some women are not overrepresented in the periphery where there are lower paying jobs that do dominate (Hayes, 2009)
In the case of gender inequality, wage discrimination exists between the male and female gender. Historically, gender inequality has favored men over similarly qualified women (Kwong, 1999)
Their gender individualities and gender benefits are entrenched more in social systems, equally dependent positions, and duties that are connected to others, rather than in atomistic, pre-social, independent, sexual selves" (Post, 2004). Even though a complete review of patriarchal organizations in the Hong Kong Chinese society is beyond the scope of this book, we confidence to appreciate through the numerous case studies that have presented here how Chinese patriarchy has been adapted and modified in relative to colonial modernism, and its part in globalization and post-expansionism in Hong Kong (Lee, 1997)
Historically, gender inequality has favored men over similarly qualified women (Kwong, 1999). In Hong Kong, Article 19 of the Bill of Rights promises rights to women in regards of d family and marriage (Merry, Stern, Deveaux, & Inoue, 2006)
Ching Kwan Lee's (1998) relative ethnographic investigations of factory women that are living in Hong Kong and Shenzhen have given some testimonies regarding the position of familialism in determining the individuality of Hong Kong women in the 1990s, who "describe their womanhood and feminineness with mention to family, relationship, and localistic associations, duties, and standards. Their gender individualities and gender benefits are entrenched more in social systems, equally dependent positions, and duties that are connected to others, rather than in atomistic, pre-social, independent, sexual selves" (Post, 2004)

Gender Income and Inequality in a Dual Industrial Structure Dual economy theory makes the argument that women are the ones that are getting much lower wages due to the fact they have been by tradition and disproportionally directed into the margin subdivision. There have been studies in Hong Kong that have brought in the revelation that those that are male production workers are the ones that are earning an average of HK$3,809 per month, and their female equivalents are just making an earning that is an average of HK$2,759 per month (Wu, 2005)
This attempt to flatten the social structure and remove hierarchal stratification from the structure is often met with opposition from individuals from multiple positions within the social structure. The advocates of a merit system suggest that individuals should be rewarded based on their performance and personal ability (Gosepath 2011)
Merit and equality are systems that essentially cannot exist simultaneously. They are almost mutually exclusive; firstly the idea of equality is fraught with problems that cannot be easily effaced using both social and political approaches (Lindsay 1992)
Another report suggested that ten years after their graduation female workers earn sixty nine percent of what their male counterparts are being paid. (Hallman, 2013) This pay gap exists partially because of the choices made by the men and women, especially in relation to the college major and the type of the job they wish to pursue
Moreover, an increasing number of female employees make the workforce less corrupt as the female employees are less likely to fall for corruption. (Klasen and Lamanna, 2010) Conclusion And Reccomendations It is quite evident from the above discussed data that gender discrimination prevails in the professional environment of the United States of America
In addition to that, women also earn lower wages than men. (Parcheta and Kaifi et al
Gender inequality has a number of negative impacts, the government, therefore, shall try to reduce gender inequality, in order to achieve elevated economic growth and set enhanced developmental goals. (Rao and Frugte et al
This suggests that revenge and a desire to dominate were important factors -- indeed, probably the main factors -- behind the mass rapes that occurred in 1945. (Lowe 51-2) As the Third Reich was in its final collapse, then, the gender issue became most salient in this way
