Answer:

Note that the two previous answers did not answer the question, for one was about race (not gender), and the other stated about the right to vote (in which the question asked about the discrimination <em>after</em> women were given the right to vote).

Before we answer the question, we must note that women were given their right to vote following the aftermath of World War I, during the 1920s. This allowed them to vote, but did not address any other issues, such as the women's right to work, the type of jobs they can work at, etc.

4 examples of gender discrimination can include, but is not limited to:

  1. <u>Discrimination of Work:</u> As most women started to move away from homes to work in factories during the two World Wars, the US relieved them to make work for returning soldiers and expected women to return to taking care of the house. However, many women wanted to continue to work, which led to a discrimination of what kind of work women were given. They typically could only hold jobs such as nurses (though not doctors or nurse practitioner), teachers (but cannot become principals), etc, etc. This was later addressed through the Equality Act, which forced employers to look at merits rather than gender. However, you must note that all genders must be able to meet the requirements for the job to obtain it.
  2. <u>Discrimination of Pay:</u> While women have more choices to choose from in later years due to the Women's Rights Movement, there was still much  difference in the gender gap. Usually higher ranking males make more money than women who hold the same type of rank. Many sources have published that women generally get paid inbetween the lower end male jobs and higher end male jobs, which means that their pay isn't the worst, while isn't on par with male companions.
  3. <u>Discrimination of Education:</u> While public schools are better at bridging the two gaps, there are school where they are either all-male or all-female, in which the level of Education given to females would be different from the level given to males. Also, the type of classes generally given to males & females may differ greatly, leading to an early difference that would affect how the genders will live, as well as their future work.
  4. <u>Discrimination in Military</u>: While women generally can hold positions within the Military, we can see in history that many of the women hold positions such as nurses, etc. However, in today's military, the gap is less, but can still be seen.

Which of the following is NOT an example of the invisible hand in action? A. producers offer people what they want B. competitio
musickatia [10]

Answer:

C. producers work together to increase prices

Explanation:

The concept of the invisible hand in economics was introduced by the classical economist Adam Smith, who is considered the father of economic liberalism. According to Smith, men have a natural selfish tendency and will seek to satisfy their own needs through trade in goods and services. Thus a positive effect of each man's selfish and individual attitudes will be felt in the economy. When everyone seeks their benefits, the wheel of economics spins. This is what Smith calls the invisible hand.

Consumers will demand goods and services according to their needs. Business owners, seeking to increase their wealth, will provide consumers with the most desired products. Consumers are rational and tend to buy goods from those they provide at a lower price.

Thus competition is a central element by which Smith justifies the invisible hand. The act of union of producers is considered a cartel, something contrary to the mechanisms of competition and therefore does not fit the metaphor of the invisible hand.

Write a one page diary entry about life in the Ghettos.You can include wider research to help you with this. Describe what it wa
laiz [17]

Answer:

Life in the ghettos was usually unbearable. Overcrowding was common. One apartment might have several families living in it. Plumbing broke down, and human waste was thrown in the streets along with the garbage. Contagious diseases spread rapidly in such cramped, unsanitary housing. People were always hungry. Germans deliberately tried to starve residents by allowing them to purchase only a small amount of bread, potatoes, and fat. Some residents had some money or valuables they could trade for food smuggled into the ghetto; others were forced to beg or steal to survive. During the long winters, heating fuel was scarce, and many people lacked adequate clothing. People weakened by hunger and exposure to the cold became easy victims of disease; tens of thousands died in the ghettos from illness, starvation, or cold. Some individuals killed themselves to escape their hopeless lives.

Every day children became orphaned, and many had to take care of even younger children. Orphans often lived on the streets, begging for bits of bread from others who had little or nothing to share. Many froze to death in the winter.

In order to survive, children had to be resourceful and make themselves useful. Small children in the Warsaw ghetto sometimes helped smuggle food to their families and friends by crawling through narrow openings in the ghetto wall. They did so at great risk, as smugglers who were caught were severely punished.

Many young people tried to continue their education by attending school classes organized by adults in many ghettos. Since such classes were usually held secretly, in defiance of the Nazis, pupils learned to hide books under their clothes when necessary, to avoid being caught.

Although suffering and death were all around them, children did not stop playing with toys. Some had beloved dolls or trucks they brought into the ghetto with them. Children also made toys, using whatever bits of cloth and wood they could find. In the Lodz ghetto, children turned the tops of empty cigarette boxes into playing cards.
