Question

Maria is excited about coming to America as a new citizen for she knows she has much to offer her new homeland. In her old home her talents and skills were not recognized. What is Maria expecting to have in America that she did not have in her former country

Answer 1

Answer:

Maria is expecting there will be more gender equity in the workplace in the United States.

Explanation:

Maria is expecting to experience more gender equality in the workplace in America than in her former country. In many other countries women's rights are not recognized to the same extent they are in the United States and there can be discrimination against women in the hiring process and in making the higher paid and prestigious opportunities available to female candidates.  Women are often paid less and are rewarded less for their talents and skills. To some extent this kind of practice still exists in the United States as well although there are legislation and policies that overtly try to address the discrimination like legislation for equal pay and the right to maternity leave.
