Abstract
The paper examines the implications of gender and class inequalities, presenting some of the key points and problems most often associated with these issues in an educational context. The writer examines various solutions to these inequalities, and explores social policies that could be used to alleviate the differences created by gender and class in education.
From the Paper
"Modern human societies are far from egalitarian. By this I mean that in West we have cultivated a social system that too often divides individuals and groups into either haves or have-nots. The consequence is inequality, bias, and prejudice that can leave a large proportion of society struggling to achieve any measure of success. On the other hand, some individuals and groups have much less difficulty in securing rights and privileges in society. Sometimes this has to do with the will to succeed, as the American mythos would have us believe. Unfortunately, more often than not, a complicated mix of social, cultural, and historical forces are at play reducing the chance that individuals from certain groups can succeed. Two of the categories upon which our society often divides people into the privileged and underprivileged are gender and social class. But why talk about these two characteristics together?"

Abstract
This paper analyzes the situation of under-privileged girl children in India in terms of the education system there. The paper makes this analysis through the examination of the interplay of several historical, social, cultural and political factors. The paper relates that it was during the end of the nineteenth century, when the Indian government realized the need for the education of women. The paper further relates that measures adopted during the later years, proved insufficient and, at the time of independence, the government was faced with the formidable task of educating a large section of the uneducated, illiterate population. The paper notes that the government of India thus under took several policies to improve girls' accessibility to education, at least during the early years of the child's life. The paper then points out that it has been widely perceived that bridging the gender gap in education will provide an effective solution to the problem of gender equality. This paper re-examines this contention.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unequal gender relations may arise due to domestic violence, stress as well as cultural practices of exclusion. These factors, not only promote unequal gender relations but also impact gender related development outcomes. It has been argued that irrespective of the overall socio-economic background, in most cases views on femininity come in conflict with the goals of education, which are directed towards survival and unity. Although education emphasizes on independence and promotes a spirit of inquiry, traditional notions of femininity seek; to create a docile and submissive character of the girl child."

Inequality in Education, 2005.
A discussion of women and education.

Abstract
The paper looks at how education is a means to securing a well-paying position in the workforce and how women have been much more limited than men in access to this. The paper further analyzes the impact of equal education on the traditional role of the woman.
From the Paper
"Education is not an end itself, but involves a major investment of time and finances towards obtaining a well-paying position in the workforce. Women's access to education has been restricted historically and they have been excluded from numerous institutions. Primarily, women's education offers them new choices and opportunities so that they become a threat to the functionalist role of motherhood. According to Joshi (2002), education and paid work impact on women's traditional reproductive role. Enabling equal education for women with men undermines the separation of the two spheres, so that public and private are blurred."

Social Inequality and Californian Education, 2002.
Examines the role of socioeconomic variables in students' achievement in California's public school system.

Abstract
Ethnic diversity and growing inequality in California have an influence on students' achievement in the public schools. Students from low-income and non-White families are enrolled in poor schools endowed with fewer educational resources and untrained teachers. They do not receive adequate support at school or home to keep pace with the students from high-income families. The standardized test has worsened the situation since it has not considered the fact that students from low-income families were left with sub-standard education for years and are not adequately prepared to obtain the same score as the students from high-income families.

"Advertising is very important in today's society and have been for over 30 years, if only simply because it cannot be avoided. Ads are a major part of mass media and the mass media has a great advantage of being able to reach a large number of people in a very short time. In large industrial societies media takes on a mass scale so that television, radio, newspapers, magazines and now the Internet link tens of millions of people, and influence the way they think and spend their time and money."

Abstract
This essay evaluates Yee's paper from the perspective of a Chinese female student who has immigrated to Canada. This review of Yee's article states, "Yee's paper will prove of interest to various readers interested in women's issues, the experience of Chinese newcomers in Canada at a particular time. As a contribution to feminist perspectives, the paper is most helpful in fully explaining the sense of difference that is felt by some Chinese women and, of course, in its most interesting comparisons between the Chinese countryside as visited by Yee in young adulthood, and the very different reality of the Toronto that has been home to her for most of her life."

Poverty in Canada: Exploring the Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, 2002.
An overview of the issues affecting poverty in Canada such as economic and social policy as well as race, ethnicity, immigration and migration.

Abstract
This paper is an exploration of poverty in Canada. Issues such as race, ethnicity, immigration and migration are considered in the contexts of rural and urban communities, as well as with regards to gender and class. The argument here is that Canada's transitions in economics and industry have helped to produce an institutionalized underclass who live in poverty and who have limited resources for changing the conditions of their living. This paper further indicates the ways economic and social policy need to elaborate on the needs of the poor if the underclass is to be assisted in ways that can produce a change in the populations who live in poverty.

Degas: A Study of Focus on Gender and Class, 2002.
This paper discusses the interaction between two themes in the paintings and drawings of Edgar Degas. The first is the study of form and shape, primarily of women. The second is his attitude towards the socioeconomic class of his subjects.
1,053 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer argues that, because of Degas' upbringing in a family attempting to appear as nobility, he became interested in "class." Commentary on class structure was a deeply engrained part of the art world at the time that Degas was in the forefront of the field.
From the Paper
"The later work of Degas began to concentrate on women in the bath, either actually washing, or getting in and out of various tubs. This was a focus on the female body in its most pure form. The fascination he had always shown with women was now given free reign, without clothing or background to complicate his work. It is interesting, though, to note that his interest in class, as well as gender, was still represented. The bathing woman has been separated from most of the social and cultural cues that give the viewer information as to her background. This is another way that Degas demonstrated that his interest in the female form cut across class boundaries."

Abstract
A paper outlining how there is still a gendergap in public education, regardless of the attempts by administrations to refute the claim. This paper explains how gender inequality is still rampant in our schools today. It shows that though many situations where boys are preferred over girls are unintentional, the fact remains that time has not caused us to become blind to gender in the classroom.
From the Paper
"Gender gaps in education ?have in most cases been eliminated and, in others, have significantly decreased,? according to ?Trends in Educational Equity of Girls and Women,? a report requested by Congress and released April 25, 2000 by the National Center for Education Studies. Girls appear to have fewer problems in early grades than boys do and consistently outperform boys in reading and writing, the report continues. The NCES states that young women continue to lag behind males in mathematics and science achievement in high school and are less likely to major in those fields in college. They also report that high school girls have higher educational goals than boys have and are more likely to enroll in college in the fall semester after graduating from high school. These females are then more likely to complete their bachelor?s degree within five years, compared to their male counterparts."

Gender, Education and Income, 2008.
This paper examines the effect of educational attainment on the gender wage gap in Canada.
1,307 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents research that shows how there is a definite gender, education and income disparity in Canada that is deteriorating. The paper points out that these inequalities are more persistent in rural Canada and among non-white women and immigrants.
From the Paper
"Even though the educational disparity between women and men has almost disappeared, there is still an income gap between the two, with women earning up to 50 to 84 percent as much as men. The research for this paper confirms this finding. When the research looks at non-white women, women who are immigrants, and women who reside in more rural areas, particularly Alberta, the education/income distances grow wider."

Social Class and Gender in Political Analysis, 2002.
Examines the analysis of social class and gender relations within the context of Middle Eastern politics.

Abstract
The analysis of social class and gender relations are common approaches in politics and sociology. The paper shows that the use of gender and class as an analytic tool turned in understanding the Middle East. It is an attempt by analysts to apply concepts from the modernized nations to traditional societies. The paper shows that the concepts can reveal certain issues of interest to Western analysts, but they may also contribute to a misperception because the class and gender are treated differently in Middle Eastern societies. The paper concludes that class and gender as analytical tools impose Western values. While this may provide a useful analysis in certain terms, it has limitations in explaining internal political actions and attitudes in the Middle East.
From the Paper
"Bill offers an analysis of the Middle Eastern class structure and shows it to be divided into traditional ruling classes, traditional middle classes, and the mass of society consisting of peasants, nomads, and workers. This class structure, says Bill, "has been knit together in constant movement and has traditionally possessed an extraordinary elasticity" (Bill, 1972, 429) marked by "hierarchically uneven but strongly reciprocal power patterns" (Bill, 1972, 429). Class lines are more permeable than might appear at first because there is a group-class tension marked by shifting power relations. Clearly, Bill would agree with Batatu (1985) that the view that classic sociological class analysis is not applicable to Arab societies is a generalization that cannot be fully supported: "To reject class analysis out of hand, merely on account of contingent ideological associations, is, from a scholarly point of view, inadmissible" (Batatu, 1985, 379). However, this does not indicate how cogent such an analysis may be in practice or how useful it would be in explaining political structures and actions."

Abstract
The paper explores how gender inequalities have held back, impoverished, or degraded French society. The paper looks at both past and present changes within policies and attitudes. The paper discusses inequalities that continue to exist and the ways in which this affects women living in contemporary France.
Outline:
Introduction
Gender Inequality throughout the Ages
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Women would appear to be half-hidden within French history, with the result that they are often seen through modern eyes as having either been hopelessly exploited drones, or antiquated feminists attempting a hopeless struggle against the patriarchy. Neither view, however, is true. Throughout the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, cultural and political events increasingly enabled women to increasingly speak out against various different inequalities and injustices. Moreover, although modern feminism was obviously nonexistent, there were still many women who managed to express themselves, while also exposing the conditions they faced, through utilizing varied creative and/or subversive methods (Steven M. Beaudoin, 2001)."

Gender Inequalities in the Workplace, 2001.
Examples and critique of gender discrimination in the workforce with reference to two major lawsuits and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Abstract
This essay serves to examine the wage inequalities between men and women in the modern day workforce. It references two specific examples of gender discrimination; Ann Hopkins? suit against Price Waterhouse in 1982 and Muriel Kraszewski?s suit against State Farm. The author also explains in detail the ramifications of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which attempts to protect the rights of women who work in the same jobs as men.
From the Paper
"In order to fully gain equal employment and fairness, traditionally male positions must be opened to females. This is the only way to shatter the glass walls and ceilings that are so prevalent in today?s society. Many women have fought discrimination and improved their own lives and the lives of countless other women over the span of several generations. The first step in creating equality in the workplace is to inform women of their rights. The next step is for these women to exercise their rights. Women can no longer allow themselves to be excluded from the workforce. Individuals concerned about equality should press for the continuation and strengthening of better paying jobs for women, and this support must not come from women alone. In order for our society to foster this change, we must understand why these changes are necessary. Society requires that men and women work together and this is not likely to change. What must change is the way that we work together. "

Abstract
The writer researched the topic of gender, social class and race, by interviewing a Jamaican nurse and single mother; an English white male immigrant to Canada; and a female doctor of colour. The paper examines the testimony produced, discusses feminist research; and further examines how to dispel stereotypes
From the Paper
"This paper was researched in a north Toronto hospital's emergency waiting room and coffee shop. I had gone to the hospital with a friend who was ill. Over the course of a 3-hour wait, I recalled my paper and began to speak to strangers, including 2 women and one man, all Canadian citizens. I gained different ideas of how race, class and gender can influence one's life experience with much to bring into question what is assumed of Canadian society, showing the disadvantages faced by women, by people born to less privileged backgrounds, and the not Caucasian. "
