The Working Woman

Since the birth of this country, women has been dealing with discrimination through the eyes of many men, whether it be a stranger or relative, co-worker or friend, females has had a difficult time for centuries. Coping with this inequality, women constantly have managed to find themselves barring to strive for excellence.
Susan B. Anthony, Florence Nightingale, and Harriet Tubman (just to name a few) endured an enormous amount of discrimination and violence, but yet managed to lead many women in their journey for equality. Today, in most schools, there are more women enrolled in universities than men as well as the percentage of employment.
What is happening to the working male role model that children look up to? Is the media supporting dual working families or single parents who need to work?
As this society has matured, in terms of the female workforce, the working male has seen enormous decreases in employment. This same number appeared in the early 40s, perhaps because of the war, but what happening in today’s society?
Some will argue that many minorities face heavy loads of racism and discrimination; but observe the actions of women since the framing of this country. Can we use these brutal actions among minorities as an excuse for the unemployment, incarceration, child neglect, etc? What can we do as minorities in this young but big country to better ourselves as well as others around us?

School Challenges

I think it is safe to assume that most university/college, students tend to become less engaged during the warmer months of the year. If this is so evident, how can we eliminate all the obstacles that seem to obstruct our path toward success? If the purpose of going to school to advance in one’s career, the primary objective, then why are some individuals slacking in class or comfortable with mediocrity? Are students being force to attend school by a spouse, job, or parent? It is hard to cure an epidemic that hasn’t been fully diagnosed; however, the focused should be geared toward becoming successful.
The level of success may vary from person to person due to upbringing, so I will be frank. As a professor here, I have seen many things and my primary objective is make individuals better going out than they were coming in. The first few weeks of any new assignment will be great until one become comfortable and the real individual will start to dwell. Missing work, absence becomes great, and failing test usually is the result. I guess the only question I have for everyone: How can we ignore the obstacles that tend to misguide up from our goal? Obstacles, such as jobs (not careers), crazy girlfriends/boyfriends (women have problems men has issues), warm weather and drama, just to name a few? What can be the focus and how can we commit to that goal?
