Review of "Gender Differences in Pay" Why do men make more money than women in some jobs? Living in a global world, are there still differences in the pay scale between men and women? In the article, "Gender Differences in Pay" by F. Blau and L. Kahn, the authors discuss the differences in pay between men and women including the earnings of men and women, different occupations, and discrimination. The article shows that changes have been made where women are paid more in many fields than they were back in the 1970's, but men continue to be paid more than women. The wages women receive have risen since the 1970's to the present time.

Abstract
The paper examines the article, "Gender Differences in Pay" by F. Blau and L. Kahn where the authors discuss the differences in pay between men and women, their different occupations and discrimination. The paper looks at the valid reasons offered for the wage gap but points out that the article only briefly discusses the problem of discrimination. The paper believes that more information about discrimination and women should be discussed in any article about the wage gap between men and women.

From the Paper
"The wages women receive have risen since the 1970's to the present time. During the 1970's and earlier, people believed women should be paid less than men. Even the Bible states that the wages women should receive is 30 shekels of silver with men receiving 50 shekels (Kahn & Blau, 2000, p. 78). Different reasons for giving men higher wages were argued by the employers and women accepted the difference in pay. However, the wages women received began to increase during the 1980's and have continued to climb in the 1990's. Several problems exist as to why women fail to receive the same wage as men as they get older. Men receive higher wages in their 30's because women often quit their jobs due to having children and only continue to work when their children get older. Men usually stay on the job without taking any time off."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the concepts of gender, femininity and masculinity are all socially constructed, in that they cannot be concretely defined in absolute terms. The writer notes that there are numerous examples within the literature to explain how the genders differ, but there are very few to no differences that show conclusively that these differences are natural, or innate. The writer maintains that gender is a social construct, and as such, society has also constructed the differences between the genders. At the level of society at large, gender operates to govern over the relations among groups and the access to resources. At an interacting level between individuals, gender allows us to categorize individuals based on their gender and to derive differences based on these categories. The writer discusses that as such, gender is a self-fulfilling prophecy, along with any and all proposed differences that exist between the genders. The writer concludes that in reality, however, the majority of gender differences, if not all of them, are socially constructed and do not exist innately.

From the Paper
"Thus, instead of being mutually exclusive constructs, it is now accepted that an individual can be high in both femininity and masculinity. Thus, with the ability of humans to span the spectrums of masculinity and femininity within their own identity and behaviour, it becomes quite clear that there really are very few characteristics, which can be deemed inherently masculine or feminine. In fact, it's quite arguable that there are no such characteristics.
"The differences that exist between masculinity and femininity are all produced by societal definitions. Society defines femininity and masculinity to be nearly polar opposites, but societal definitions do not force any one individual to become either feminine or masculine based on their natural biological sex. Thus, to find any true differences between the genders it is necessary to go beyond socially constructed concepts and to look at actually physical differences, besides the obvious."

Abstract
The paper analyzes recent research which suggests that is it important to examine gender related differences in autobiographical memory. The paper further analyzes the available studies which suggest that gender differences do exist with respect to autobiographical memory, and may be the result of multiple factors including socialization and cognitive processes. The paper proposes to help fill the gap that currently exists with respect to this line of research. The literature review focuses on the current studies available analyzing the effects of gender on autobiographical recall. The paper specifically attempts to outline what, if any, gender differences exist, where they exist, why they exist and the implications of memory differences between the sexes.

Analysis and Summary of Literature
Critical Appraisal of Autobiographical Memory Research

From the Paper
"Evidence suggests that children's "schemas change as they age" enabling memories to change frequently, hence "memories from an early age have no suitable framework from which they can be retrieved" (Betz, et al. 1996). Recent research suggests however that children do learn how to represent events early on, and this ability does not change into adulthood. The method of representation to reveal autobiographical memory is through narratives, or the process of learning how to relate information regarding one's autobiographical history through story telling (Betz et al. 1996)."

Bridging the Gap Between Men and Women

From the Paper
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."

Abstract
This paper discusses gender differences between men and women. It begins by differentiating sex from gender. It then details two of numerous theories about gender differences and classification: cognitive theory and sociological theory. The paper describes each theory and discusses how they can be practically applied to understand the differences between men and women.

From the Paper
"Emotionally speaking, men and women deal with it in different ways. Men are generally aggressive while women are more naturally nurturing and strong in social memories. It is a common belief that men are less emotional than women and more inclined in logic and reason when dealing with decisions and every day life. Women, on the other hand, are more in tuned with their emotions like happiness, sadness and fear. They also express anxiety and depression feeling than men. Men appear adept at maximizing their hostility and anger, and at minimizing emotions to do with vulnerability, guilt, fear and hurt. These emotional dealings are because men and women are controlled by different areas of the brain. The DNA of the male and female form a different base upon which experience falls. Our genetic makeup causes information to be stored in a slightly different manner, integrated in a slightly different way, interacting internally in a different way ... all sufficient to produce the observed psychological differences."

Abstract
The paper examines Robert Bly's poem "It's Hard for Some Men to Finish Sentences" as a clear demonstration of the difficulty for most men in expressing real emotions and feelings. This paper uses the poem and outside sources on gender differences in communication to support this thesis.

From the Paper
"Robert Bly's poem "It's Hard for Some Men to Finish Sentences" is a clear demonstration of the difficulty for most men in expressing real emotions and feelings. In Bly's poem, the speaker seems to have trouble expressing what is really on his mind. He seems to desire expression of some deep feeling or emotion but he appears unable to follow through on this desire. Sometimes a man can't say..."

Abstract
This paper explores perceptions in gender and learning styles to attempt to determine whether learning styles are the primary factor in student accomplishment in the physical education classroom. The focus of the paper is on biological versus socio-cultural factors that determine outcome and predisposition within the physical education classroom for male and female students and teachers.

From the Paper
"Gender has been demonstrated to play a role in how students approach learning and education (Penney, 2002; Rink, 2005). The extent to which this occurs is not fully recognized, as it appears difficult to quantify different approaches to learning through gender or through sociological factors that influence behavior for members of either sex. While male and female students both participate in extracurricular athletic abilities, observational data suggests that male students are more likely to openly participate in required physical activity classes than are female students (Dowling, 2001; Penney, 2002; Rink, 2005). Physical education teachers report that it is more difficult to motivate female students into physical activity during required class periods."
