Abstract
This paper discusses the disparity has long existed between men and women in occupational equity, explaining that these changes, for several possible reasons, began to take place during the Neolithic Revolution. The paper also looks at the substantial changes that have been made in the last two centuries through reform acts, legislation, and social movements while also pointing out that, in spite of the great strides that have been made in these areas, women still face difficulties in rising through corporate ranks.
From the Paper
"Men and women have always seemed to occupy different places in the work force. Women have typically taken the role of gatherer, caregiver, nurturer--passive roles, in most cases, in which they stayed close to the family or larger tribal unit. Men, on the other hand, have roamed far from the central group as hunters, warrior, and protectors of the social order. In today's world, the wide gender gap of the nineteenth century has changed substantially to the very narrow spectrum of differences seen today."

Abstract
The paper provides a historical analysis of the evolution of gender roles and the economics of the Canadian family over time. The paper shows how this evolution was notably conservative in many respects in perpetuating the sexism and economic gender inequalities of the past.
The paper discusses how women still remain the primary source of domestic labor and male economic predominance continues within most households. The paper stresses that while the social direction points towards greater equity, we must not lose sight of the enduring economic injustices and burdens that women bear in both the domestic sphere and in the paid labor force.
From the Paper
"The statement that in Canadian society men are no longer considered the "sole breadwinners" nor women only fit for "domesticity" is an assertion that, upon initial review, appears incontrovertible. After all, the rise of the dual-income family and the increasing prominence of women in the paid labour force is a widely recognized phenomenon in Canada as in most western countries."
"This being said, however, upon closer review it may be argued that the situation in terms of gender roles in the Canadian economy and labour force is not quite as clear as this statement would suggest. As this essay will argue, while men are no long the sole breadwinners, they do retain significant economic dominance in Canadian households as in the labour force as a whole."

Abstract
Despite existing legislation that educational policies, program and practices in the United States should be designed to be free from discrimination, gender bias still exists through sex stereotyping and sex bias that remains in schools, which result in undue negative influence on students. This paper shows that, since the passage of Title IX in 1972, attitudes and assumptions toward behavior have changed dramatically, and a greater understanding of sexual stereotypes and their influence on performance have been realized. Educational facilities now realize the importance of encouraging positive attitudes and abilities in female students. The paper shows that statistics and studies have revealed that women are now pursuing fields formerly dominated by males, including careers related to math and science. This is a result of increased efforts by schools to encourage women to excel in these areas. The paper analyzes these statistics and their effects on students.
From the Paper
"A comparison of educational statistics pre and post Title IX reveal that women have narrowed the gender gap significantly. For example in 1971 18% of women successfully acquired a college degree, whereas 26% of men had (Riley, 1997). However in recent years American women now make up the majority of students receiving advanced degrees and the United States is the world leader recognized for providing women with educational opportunities (Riley, 1997). Women in some instances have acquired more degrees in certain fields than men, further supporting the idea that increased expectations and opportunities result in progress. Progress is not contingent on sex, but rather on the opportunities afforded people regardless of their sex."

Abstract
This paper shows the difference that agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation made in gender relationships.
From the Paper
"The first evidence of agriculturists, sedentary lifestyles, and social differentiation that archaeologists and anthropologists have distinguished come from groups termed Horticulturists. Though the past record remains relatively scant in regards, anthropologists have used existing ones as a locus of study and interpretation. More numerous than surviving hunter-gatherer groups, horticultural societies also show an incredible range of gender diversity between groups, more numerous, in fact, than any other extent societal model. The quantity of studies that has come as a result of this are astounding. Those done in the area of New Guinea alone, home to at least two hundred different horticultural societies, provide ample evidence to add weight to the debate of nurture over nature, by sheer examples of the differences in living and understanding gender roles in such a relatively small and homogenous environmental area.

Gender Socialization, 2002.
A paper which examines the role of gender-specific toys on gender roles in society.
1,543 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows that gender roles are perpetuated and learned through gender socialization and that toys are considered a type of gender socializing agent. The paper argues that social formation of gender by the means of toys is detrimental to the whole equity of society, because it reinforces gender differentiation and sexism. The paper gives several examples of toys which promote gender-specific messages such as baby dolls and play make-up for little girls. Finally, the paper looks at ways to reverse gender stereotyping in our society and shows how several toy manufactures are shedding the gender stereotypes on their products.
From the Paper
"Thus, gender distinctions imposed by societal culture and framework define the behaviors of male and female individuals, which are arranged in a pattern. Women cannot do the things prescribed for men, and vice versa. Hence, we observe that toys are a form of gender socialization, which in turn, transmits the gender roles. In turn, gender roles contribute to cultural and social framework, which are imposed upon newborns through the socializing agents, such as toys. This forms a cycle that explains how gender role socialization reflects and constitutes the framework of the American society."

From the Paper

They must make certain that work conditions are as good as possible for all employees. They must be aware of task levels and productivity, when someone is underutilized or over burdened by the work they are given to do. They must intervene effectively when conflict occurs and take action to advocate for employees. They must be aware of the level of responsibility each employee shoulders and his or her comfort level with it."

Abstract
This paper describes the function of brand equity, explains its importance to a businesses' success, reviews literature on how to build brand equity and takes a look at how the concept of brand equity in the past in order to discern how companies can best increase brand equity in the present and future.
From the Paper
"One of the most significant ways that companies can increase their brand equity is through advertising. Research done in the past on the subject of advertising looked at how people reacted to advertisements, in that it tried to determine if these individuals would buy the product based on the advertisement. More recently, other research has focused on the actual affect and whether or not the consumer actually likes the advertisement that he or she sees (Vakratsas & Ambler, 1999). Sometimes, individuals purchase products from companies simply because they are familiar with a certain brand, even if they do not care for their advertisements. However, brand equity can become much stronger if it can evolve from advertisements that a consumer actually likes and feels good about viewing."

Chinese and Indian Equity, 2008.
An analysis of private equity in China and India in the age of globalization.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how private equity investment has been encouraged as a corporate growth strategy by the deregulation of international trade and by a historical period of corporate consolidation. The investigation discusses China and India, two of the fastest growing nations in the schemes of both globalizing and rising interests in foreign direct private equity investment. Considering the economic, organizational and political ramifications of private equity investment in either setting, this research ultimately finds that the isolated nature of India's globalization-based growth makes it a less certain opportunity than China, where development of infrastructure and elevation of the middle class are likely to overshadow future political or social unrest.

From the Paper
"The relationship between the rapid expansion of the Indian capital market and the heightened emphasis on a global investment strategy has given the Indian government as much incentive to open its doors to foreign firms as it has given these firms economic cause to enter the increasingly saturated field. The result has been an incredible boon to India's equity market, where in the first half of fiscal year 2005-2006, India was the site of roughly U.S. $7.96 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI), which represented over three times as much of such investment as had been reported during the prior years first half. (Moniz, [2006]) India's hospitable nature to foreign investment has taken the form of its increasing willingness to allow foreign investment to actually account for the majority interest in some of its largest industries such as the telecom and infrastructure sectors. These major state-regulated concerns are increasingly receptive to the seemingly endless flow of western capital into "development of new airports, laying of natural gas pipelines, petroleum infrastructure, captive mining of coal and lignite, mining of diamonds and precious stones, as well as the development of townships where complete foreign ownership is now welcome." (Moniz, [2006]) This tends to characterize the larger appeal of India."

Abstract
This paper explains that pay equity is a gender independent pay process, which reduces wage inequity between men and women workers: Same wages for the same jobs. The author points out that pay equity is not a new issue; the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's (BPWs) Clubs, was established in July 1919 to eradicate sex discrimination in workplace, to confirm the principle of equal pay and to legislate a complete equal rights amendment. The paper relates that the wage disparity became apparent in the U.S. because of women and minorities entering the paid workforce; however, its prevalence was not perceived until the large entry of women seeking jobs during World War II.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Irrespective of the promulgation of Equal Pay Act ever since last four decades the wage disparities between men and women obstinately prevails. Women are still failing to earn equal pay for equal work only equal pay for comparable work. Such discrimination not only influences the spending capacity of women but also it costs their retirement security by entailing wide gulf between the social security and pensions. As per the study of 2004 conducted by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, on the basis of the US Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor statistics, it has been brought out that woman employed full time only gets 76 cents in comparison to one dollar for a man in the same time. The real median income of women is observed to have reduced by more than half a million dollar i.e. $523,000 over the last four decades."

This paper discusses equity in education, and social justice as it relates to gay students.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that a commitment to equity in education means a commitment to social justice, which has been an important slogan of the Ontario Ministry of Education for more than 10 years. While one is accustomed to such references applied to the advancement of women or visible minorities, the same general ideal is to apply to persons who are gays or lesbians during their experiences of education. The writer notes that this may be difficult for various schools and educators to assimilate with regard to students who are not heterosexual or espouse support for gay and lesbian fellow students, and notably in Roman Catholic settings that have not been influenced pervasively by contemporary Roman Catholic views on homosexuality, at large. However, the writer maintains that more Ontario Ministry statements on equity and social justice can be expected to refer to matters of gender and sexual orientation in the next years, part of a general social adjustment meant to fully include gay or lesbian persons. The writer concludes that with regard to Roman Catholic education in Ontario one recognizes the need to see equity as social justice realized in more schools' approaches to the gay student.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"The presence of a few gay or lesbian students should be accepted by those who work in Roman Catholic high schools, at the very least, and with teachers and guidance counselors prepared to counsel occasional students to report questions concerning homosexuality including those to state that they realize they are gay. A pastoral message of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops addressed the needs of the parents of gay or lesbian children in a manner demonstrating the hierarchy's acceptance of this phenomenon and the first reactions adults may have to the news that a child is not heterosexual. The general approach is one instructing adults to accept the person who is different, seeing that the person feels supported and does not succumb to depression, alienation or the dangers of these results, directing counseling so that the person does not feel rejected. The general suggestion is that homosexuality is not condemned as much as its lifestyle that may indeed take form if a child is ostracized. In the last years, the Roman Catholic Church has supported research into homosexuality as a human condition and in awareness of gay and lesbian persons who may become vagrant, addicted to drugs or an uncaring promiscuity, if they are rejected by their families and friends."
