GENDER DISCRIMINATION AT WORK

In today’s essay , I am going to explain and talk about gender discrimination at work places , but I am going to center specifically in discrimination against women at work places and why some jobs or companies reject them. Before getting in deep into this topic we have to define what is a women , and also explain since when this discrimination has been happening , and also explain some terms or concepts that are very important when talking about this , and also Explain a little bit of why some men think that they are better than women or why they feel like they can do more things that women can. And that is a lie , cause we as humans beings have the same capacities , no matter the gender.


Now what is a woman? 
A woman is a female human being. That is what is stabled by the dictionary , and as we can see nowhere in that definition says “ female human being with less capacity or with lower intellectual” because that is not true , we have the same capacity that a man has , and we also have and deserve the same rights and respect that a man has. Because being a woman does not mean you are less than anyone. What is machismo? Machismo is the strong or aggressive masculine pride. And lastly but not less important when talking about this topic is sexism. What is Sexism? Sexism is the prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex. Now why are all these concepts important? Because they are basically the main problem when talking about discrimination against women in any type of field , not just working field , all the other fields that we in these world are surrounded by enter in these discrimination too. 


Let’s go back a little bit. All these started a very long time ago when civilization was just starting. Since the start women where always the lower class , they where there just to take care of the children , the men and to reproduce , and as bad as that sounds is the truth of before. As the years went by women started getting tired of how badly and lowly they were treated and they started fighting for their rights and to be treated correctly. The truth is that things did change a lot since the beginnings of civilization , because now men and people in general notice the importance of women , and they notice all the hard work that we as women pull through in a daily basis. And I am not a feminist , because i do thing that we all deserve the same rights no matter the gender , but i do think that women are pretty important in these world.


In work places or fields where women discrimination is mostly present are science , technology , mathematics , engineering , politics and places like the army or the country’s national police.
Why these happens mostly in these areas? because people in enterprises or companies see women lowly , they see us as if we are not enough and that is one of the majors problems.
There are very big problems for women when looking for a job or even when they already have a job. These problems are: 
For a women it will be so much harder get a job in a company , than it is for a men. These happens when a woman and a man get a job interview in the same company , but the woman has so much more good qualities than the man , sometime it won’t matter and they will give the job to the man , just because of the gender.
A woman will earn much less than a man. Even when the woman and the man , both have the same charge and work in the same company and area , the man will earn sometimes a little bit more or a lot more. But it will always be more for the men kind.
A woman will never be promoted as easily as a man , and all because of the gender,
Women don’t get second chances sometimes. In occasions a woman screw ups once and she is already out and just because the gender , even though a man has already made a lot more of mistakes.
Women don’t get credit when is due. Sometimes a woman is the mastermind behind a great hit , but the one getting the credit is the man , not the woman and all because the gender.



These and a lot more problems women faced , and just because of the gender. I am thankful to say that in these century we live in these problems have been reduced, and women are getting the respects and rights they deserve. But at the same time these problem is not fully eradicated just yet. And the only way of having these problem out is by having all the people in the world see the right that we as women deserve. And just women , all of us  have the same rights and deserve the same respect.

SOCIAL , ECONOMICAL AND POLITICAL SITUATION IN SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES

In this essay I am going to explain the social , economical and political situations , as you read in the tittle, of three specific countries of South America. But before going deep into these countries I am going to clarified some points of the continents it self and the division that exist inside of the continent South America.



When we talk about South America we are talking about the fourth largest continents of the earth after Asia , Africa and North America. South America is found in the western hemisphere. Most of the continent is in the southern hemisphere, although some parts of the northern part of the continent fall in the northern hemisphere. South America is a subcontinent of the Americas. South America as a continent is almost two times bigger as Europe by land area  , and is marginally larger than Russia. The countries that conformed South America are Venezuela , Guyana , French Guiana , Suriname , Brazil , Ecuador , Colombia , Panama , Argentina , Paraguay , Uruguay , Peru , Bolivia and Chile. Most people when are talking about South America the normal most of the times they mention Brazil , Argentina and Colombia , some people talk about these countries in representation of South America because they are the most populated countries. But I am not going to specify on those three because most people will, and when we talk of South America we are not just talking about three countries , we are talking about fourteen whole , beautiful countries and all beautiful and unique in there own way , so is good that if we are from any of these countries , we are informed of all these important aspects , but not just of our own country , we should at least have the minimum knowledge about all the countries in our continent. That is why in these essay I am going to inform the social , economical and social aspects of the countries that we know the less. These countries are Suriname , Guyana and Bolivia .



First I am going to start with the country of Bolivia since is the most populated out of the three. The politics of Bolivia takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the president is head of state, head of government and head of a diverse multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament. Both the Judiciary and the electoral branch are independent of the executive and the legislature. Socially speaking Bolivia is a indigenous country with very old and traditional beliefs. The economy of Bolivia is the 95th largest economy in the world in nominal terms and the 87th economy in terms of purchasing power parity. It is classified by the World Bank to be a lower middle income country. With a Human Development Index of 0.675. Bolivia has the second largest reserves of natural gas in the continent. And Bolivia is also one of the world’s largest producers of coca.



 Now the second country out of the three most populated is Guyana . Guyana is the only English speaking country is South America with it’s capital Georgetown. When we talk about politics Guayana is a parliamentary-style democracy with a constitution, a National Assembly, a multiparty system, elections, a president chosen by the majority party, a minority leader, and a judicial system based on common law. Despite its democratic institutions, independent Guyana has seen more than two decades of one-party rule and strongman politics, perpetuated by manipulation, racially based voting patterns, and a disenfranchisement of the Guyanese people. Socially speaking Guyana is a country full of tension between the two ethnical groups that share the country which are the africans , since most of guyanese people is descendent of African slaves , and Indians. Economically Guyana is a country full of resources , is a country covered in tropical rainforest , and have rich reserves of bauxite, gold and timber they struggle a lot with the poverty of the country and they do not know how to manage there economy correctly.



Last but not least is Suriname. Politically speaking Suriname take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the president of Suriname is the head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. The executive power is dependent on the parliament. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature , most political parties are ethnically based. Socially speaking Most of its people are descended from African slaves and Indian and Javanese indentured laborers brought over by the Dutch to work in agriculture. They have a traditional culture , and still follow there roots. Economically is dominated by the mining industry, with exports of oil and gold , it has a vulnerable economy and gold, oil and agriculture are key economic sectors. Bauxite mining has gone into decline. Efforts have been made to diversify the economy.



To conclude my idea and my essay , when I choose these three countries is to notice and see how bad we are sanding not just as individual countries but as a whole continent. It is really hard to say how these countries will be a few years from now , a year from now , or even maybe tomorrow , because they all have a lost of problems and they have been living with these problems since forever and is really hard to see if all these aspects , but the most two important being the political and economical one , will change for real or will they just apparently change , but they are in the same situation.
