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?
Actually the role of women has always been fundamental in the pillars of the family, women tend to be more organized by conviction than men, making it by obligation, for this reason it is more easy to adapt to standards and procedures required by the labour and educational institutions. With regard to the above-mentioned minorities who are facing heavy burdens of racism and discrimination could take the same struggle for excellence that initiated the women from the birth of this country as a paradigm.
