1.Summary

The main points of today's class were related to the various gaps between women and men. Gender stratification refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and powers according to gender in society. It mainly works against women and LGBTQ people, resulting in various social, economic, and political discriminations and inequalities. Gender stratification is a deeply rooted issue historically and is still seen in many parts of the world today. Gender stratification is problematic for many reasons. First, it violates basic human rights and equal rights. Everyone, regardless of gender, should enjoy equal rights and opportunities, but gender stratification hinders them. Women and LGBTQ people experience discrimination in many areas, including education, employment, and political participation, which prevents them from fully realizing their individual potential. Also, gender stratification deepens economic inequality. Women earn lower wages compared to men and are often discriminated against in promotion opportunities. It leads to a gap in household income and threatens the economic stability of women and their families. In particular, low-income women are prone to a vicious cycle of poverty due to these economic inequalities.Gender stratification also leads to social problems. Women and LGBTQ people experience more damage such as sexual harassment, domestic violence, and sexual violence in the workplace. Such violence and discrimination harm an individual's physical and mental health and undermine the safety and welfare of society as a whole. In addition, gender stereotypes and prejudices can hinder social integration and lead to conflict. The professor also informed us of the case of gender stratification. For example, women's political representation is remarkably low in many countries. This means that women's voices are not properly reflected in the policy-making process. In addition, women's educational opportunities are often limited in developing countries, which hinders their social mobility and economic independence. Women in the workplace often receive lower wages than men even if they do the same, which is indicated by a gender pay gap.


2.Interesting


What I found interesting in class was that women had a lower college enrollment rate than men. The professor even asked me why, which is due to social, economic, and cultural factors. Women's access to educational opportunities and equality have developed over the years, but there is still an unbalanced reality. In some societies, patriarchal values still prevail, and expectations for women's education may be low. At home, they tend to prioritize the education of male children, or in economically difficult families, they may place restrictions on the education of female children. Also, the social expectation that women should focus on marriage, childbirth, and parenting may limit their investment in education. Economic factors also play an important role. Gender pay gaps and inequality in job prospects can be obstacles in women's choice of a college education. If these factors are not addressed until women occupy more economically stable and independent positions, women's college enrollment rate may still be low. In addition, gender discrimination and sexual harassment, in which women block educational opportunities, still exist. There are times when women are reluctant to go to college because of prejudice or discrimination against women in school or society. These problems can limit women's educational opportunities and lower the rate of college entrance.


3.discussion


As mentioned earlier, women and men show gaps in many cases and are discriminated against in many ways. What I want to discuss with my classmates is, 'Is there room for this situation to get better? What can I do to get better?' First, education and awareness improvement are needed. We need to focus on spreading the perception that everyone has equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender and changing our perception of gender discrimination. To this end, efforts to strengthen gender equality education in the education system and change social consciousness through public campaigns are required.
In addition, improvements in laws and policies are needed. An effective system should be established to prevent gender discrimination by prohibiting gender discrimination and strengthening laws and policies that guarantee gender equality. In particular, legal measures for gender equality are needed, such as closing the wage gap according to gender and strengthening laws for the prevention of sexual harassment. It is also important to provide economic support and opportunities. It is necessary to increase access to education and help economically independent women by providing educational opportunities and economic support to economically vulnerable women. In addition, the government should strengthen support programs for start-ups for women and create an environment in which women can become economically independent. Improvements in home and work environments are also important. In order to overcome gender division and discrimination in families and at work, flexible job policies should be introduced, and parental leave and parental leave systems should be expanded to create an environment where parents can be compatible. Finally, it is necessary to support and revitalize social movements and organizations for gender equality. Efforts should be made to realize gender equality by advocating women's human rights, supporting organizations against gender discrimination, and inducing diverse social participation. This comprehensive approach is expected to address gender inequality and discrimination.

1.Summary The key point of today's class was the male-female gap. There are several differences between what men and women want, which are influenced by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Of course, these differences are generalized, and the individual differences are even greater. In general, women tend to prefer more stable and safe environments. This is also explained by evolutionary psychology, as stability and safety play an important role in terms of survival and reproduction. Men, on the other hand, tend to prefer adventure and challenge. This may biologically be related to the influence of testosterone, a male hormone. Women tend to value more relationship building and communication. This stems from the desire to build and maintain social networks through intimacy. Men often value achievement and goal achievement, which can act as an important factor in survival and reproduction. Psychologically, women are also better at expressing their emotions and read...

1.Summary The key points of today's class were social class and inequality. Social class is a way to group people according to their economic and social positions. In general, people are classified into upper, middle, and lower classes considering factors such as income, education level, occupation, and social status, the professor said. This stratification will be related to the imbalance of resources and opportunities within society (Roles, who I learned in high school, comes to mind:() The upper class is mainly composed of high-income and wealth owners. It usually includes merchants, entrepreneurs, and high-ranking government officials. They are often socially influential and enjoy a high-end lifestyle, and try to maintain wealth through inheritance and inheritance to maintain their wealth and deliver it to their children. The middle class is usually made up of workers, middle managers, and experts. They maintain a relatively stable income and life, and can often develop profess...
