Abstract
This paper establishes an understanding of gender inequality in the hospitality industry in Canada. The paper identifies the reasons why men dominate managerial positions in Canada, discusses reasons for preferential treatment for men in the hospitality industry, and examines potential motivations for females to pursue managerial positions and any obstacles they face.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, Canadian women face discrimination based not only on their gender, but also on race, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Yet many continue to pursue management positions in the service and hospitality industries for numerous reasons, including higher pay, better job security, more benefits and a more respectable title. The absence of human resource policies and strategies in many companies in this field is a deterrent to gender diversity. The work environment and culture are not conducive to promoting women in management. This prevents women's accessibility to top management positions. For example, there are no programs to facilitate the advancement of women as role models, absence of mentoring programs, and lack of management training programs."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the situation of under-privileged girl children in India in terms of the education system there. The paper makes this analysis through the examination of the interplay of several historical, social, cultural and political factors. The paper relates that it was during the end of the nineteenth century, when the Indian government realized the need for the education of women. The paper further relates that measures adopted during the later years, proved insufficient and, at the time of independence, the government was faced with the formidable task of educating a large section of the uneducated, illiterate population. The paper notes that the government of India thus under took several policies to improve girls' accessibility to education, at least during the early years of the child's life. The paper then points out that it has been widely perceived that bridging the gender gap in education will provide an effective solution to the problem of gender equality. This paper re-examines this contention.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unequal gender relations may arise due to domestic violence, stress as well as cultural practices of exclusion. These factors, not only promote unequal gender relations but also impact gender related development outcomes. It has been argued that irrespective of the overall socio-economic background, in most cases views on femininity come in conflict with the goals of education, which are directed towards survival and unity. Although education emphasizes on independence and promotes a spirit of inquiry, traditional notions of femininity seek; to create a docile and submissive character of the girl child."

Gender Inequality, 2004.
Review of literature discussing the topic of gender inequality in relationships.

Abstract
This paper examines the topic of gender inequality and presents a review of literature that supports the argument that stereotypical roles of gender have led to inequality in marriages and gender relationships, which in turn, have impacted the ability of women to become truly financially and emotionally secure.
From the Paper
"The issue of gender inequality in relationships is of great social concern, especially in light of the increasing divorce rate and the growing numbers of single mothers bringing up children. The increasing break down of the traditional family structure implies the need for women to be more and more financially independent. Yet, a review of literature on the subject indicates that gender inequality in relationships persists and has led to a situation where women are still unable to break the traditional stereotype of the female role and focus on developing an independent career."

Abstract
This four page paper examines social inequality and poverty in Canada. The paper suggests that poverty and social inequality have always existed in human societies, for they are the inevitable consequences of materialism, prejudice, and economic injustice. The paper goes on to suggest that the persistence of poverty and social inequality in Canada demonstrates that even in advanced, industrialized, democratic societies, many people continue to be victimized by powerful economic, political, and social forces beyond their control.
From the Paper
"Poverty and Social Inequality in Canada: An Analysis Tragically, poverty and social inequality have always existed in human societies, for they are the inevitable consequences of materialism, prejudice, and economic injustice. The persistence of poverty and social inequality in Canada demonstrates that even in advanced, industrialized, democratic societies, many people continue to be victimized by alliances between the government and powerful business interests. According to Canadian census data collected and analyzed by researchers such as Picot and Myles (2005) there is a widening gap between rich and poor in Canada, and a sharp increase in the number of working people who earn less than twenty-thousand dollars a year."

Abstract
Gender inequality is a worldwide epidemic that has plagued our society and others since the beginning of time. This paper attempts to look at how society and its members address the myriad of other issues (i.e., racism, classism, ageism, etc.) that are intricately interwoven into this deeply seeded and complex issue. An examination of these issues takes place through the summary of three journal articles in addition to other readings regarding the aforementioned theme of gender inequality.
Outline
Introduction
Personal Reflection
From the Paper
"In the first reading, Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference, the article's author, Lorde (1997), attributes the continued oppression and dehumanization of women not as the sole existence of differences, rather as the inability to recognize and appreciate those differences. The article's author also points out that the inability to deal effectively with differences causes distortions in which individuals tend to ignore or even misname the definition of others. Lorde (1997) utilizes many of Freire's (1970:93) concepts regarding relationships as defined by oppression and stresses the importance of collaboration, self-reflection, and exposure to and appreciation of differences.

Gender Inequality in Information Systems, 2008.

Abstract
This paper analyzes issues of gender inequality and the relevance of feminist epistemology in information systems. It reviews three articles, "Feminist Philosophy and Information Systems" by Alison Adam and Helen Richardson, "The Army and the Microworld: Computers and the Politics of Gender Identity" by Paul Edwards and "Slouching Toward the Ordinary: Current Trends in Computer Mediated Communication" by Susan Herring.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, these three articles on gender role allocations within CMC and IS provide a varied, yet informative view of the historical, social, and feminist ideology of patriarchal systems. However, it is the Adam and Richardson article that best defines the role of empiricism and objectivity in determining the epistemological problems of patriarchal constructs in computer communications. Although a historical analysis of the feminist movement and the current issues of generational decay may inherently be problematic in modern IS, the issue a feminist ideology that must define the reality of gender disparity is the more important premise of the research done by Adam and Richardson."

Abstract
This paper explains that gender and sexual inequality in the workplace is a very important aspect of modern American sociology today and asks why this situation exists today. The paper then presents a literature review and a list of various positions in a fictitious banking institution to show these disparities related to sex. The author concludes that the main culprit is the patriarchal system, which has been in existence in the United States since its earliest days.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another area of concern is politics, especially as it relates to the status of women in the world of employment. For many years, beginning roughly with the Equal Pay Act of 1963 which mandated "equal pay for men and women doing the same work," employers have utilized special rules regarding appropriate positions and pay for women, such as "formal and informal restrictions on positions, separate male and female sections in help wanted ads, differential pay scales for men and women in the same job (and) pay scales set in accordance with the gender composition of jobs."

Systematic Gender Inequality, 2008.
This paper reflects on Canadian gender inequalities in the workplace and asserts that a proactive approach in policy is needed in order to achieve positive change.

Abstract
This paper asserts that, although some gains have been made, women in Canada still have not achieved equality in the Canadian labour market. It is argued that this reflects a lingering, pervasive and in fact systemic inequality of the sexes within society. Furthermore, this essay advocates that policy changes should be made at federal and provincial government levels to encourage change. Specifically, the author argues that affirmative action, by way of quota policies, must be introduced and that childcare needs to be regarded by policy makers as being of paramount importance.
From the Paper
"On a simplistic level, the 1999 Workplace and Employee Survey tries to explain this differential by analysing its causes. For example, it found that 20% of the differential can be attributed to the fact that women primarily work in low-wage industries. Another 10% is attributed to the fact that women had on average 14 years of full-time experience, compared with 18 years of such experience for men. The latter is a socio-economic reality related to the demands of child-bearing, which are currently inadequately addressed by government policies. It was also found that the fact that more women worked for a part-time rate accounted for some 11% of the gap, as for obscure reasons, companies with a large part-time work force usually pay lower wages. Another 7% of the gap was attributed to 3 factors: the fact that women are less likely to work in self-directed teams (which are better-paid); the fact that fewer women work for foreign-owned companies, which pay higher wages; and the fact that less women work for wages that are tied to performance (which tends to result in higher pay) (Statistics Canada)."

Gender Inequality and the Internet, 2004.
This paper discusses the difference in Internet use by men and women.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that that women are less frequent users of the Internet and new related technologies as compared to men, which creates a wide gender gap, but that gap is diminishing. The author points out that women are victims of Internet pornography, since hundreds of sites reveal them in degrading fashion, thereby making gender inequality a more intense and pervasive issue. The paper relates that the under-representation of women in professional fields such as science, mathematics, and computing plays an important role in the existing gender inequality in the cyberspace.
From the Paper
"Amazingly, the same trend exists even after eight highly progressive years in which women have mostly been able to overcome or minimize the gender gap in many areas. While more women access Internet today than they used to in mid-1990s, their access points are still the same and due to this, men are heavier and more intense users. A recent report by US Department of Commerce, Falling Through the Net: Defining the Digital Divide states that, ?Both sexes use the Internet more at home than elsewhere. Males generally access the Internet by about three percentage points more, regardless of location, and equal 34.3% in total access.?"

Religion and Gender Inequality, 2008.
An analysis of the role of religion in gender discrimination, especially in Canada.

Abstract
This paper examines the role of organized religion in ideas and practices regarding the social construction of gender. The writer believes that the three religions in the Judeo-Christian tradition, i.e. Judaism, Islam and Christianity, have helped to sustain deeply sexist cultures. The writer argues that these religions are so deeply patriarchal that reform along feminist lines is simply not possible. The writer also points out that the primary religion affecting state decisions in Canada is Christianity, although there are also many Canadian women who are kept subjugated by Islam and Judaism. In conclusion, the writer suggests that the key is to move our society as far away as possible from religious dogma of all kinds. Feminists in Canada must therefore strive to increase the separation of church and state in this country.
From the Paper
"Judaism, Islam and Christianity are similar in that they all espouse the doctrine of belief in one, very-definitely male, god. Therefore, they may be perceived as patriarchal monotheisms, based on an all-powerful, father-like God. This God varies in specifics; for example, whether he is primarily kind and loving, or primarily wrathful and vengeance-driven. However, he is much the same in all the essentials - he is all-powerful, all-seeing, omniscient, and male. Moreover, one could make a strong argument that all three of these gods are also misogynistic."

Abstract
This paper reviews gender inequities from childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and the elderly with respect to their relationships in school, with family, in relationships and within the work force.
Outline:
Gender Inequalities and Socialization - Overview
Gender Differences in Children and Adolescence
Gender Inequalities at Work
Opposition to Equality Issues
From the Paper
"Other studies exploring gender inequities among young adults and middle-age adults exist and result primarily from lower feelings of self-confidence or the ability to succeed when placed in a competitive environment (Goodman, Cunningham & Lachapelle, 2002). For example, women are more likely to drop out of mathematical or engineering fields not because they are not able to do the work, but rather because society suggests that men are more capable in these fields, and thus dominate these fields, resulting in an indirect discrimination against women in primarily male-dominated fields (Goodman, Cunningham & Lachapelle, 2002)."

Gender and Class Inequalities in Education, 2005.
An analysis of gender and class inequalities in education, including possible solutions.

Abstract
The paper examines the implications of gender and class inequalities, presenting some of the key points and problems most often associated with these issues in an educational context. The writer examines various solutions to these inequalities, and explores social policies that could be used to alleviate the differences created by gender and class in education.
From the Paper
"Modern human societies are far from egalitarian. By this I mean that in West we have cultivated a social system that too often divides individuals and groups into either haves or have-nots. The consequence is inequality, bias, and prejudice that can leave a large proportion of society struggling to achieve any measure of success. On the other hand, some individuals and groups have much less difficulty in securing rights and privileges in society. Sometimes this has to do with the will to succeed, as the American mythos would have us believe. Unfortunately, more often than not, a complicated mix of social, cultural, and historical forces are at play reducing the chance that individuals from certain groups can succeed. Two of the categories upon which our society often divides people into the privileged and underprivileged are gender and social class. But why talk about these two characteristics together?"

Abstract
This paper examines the elements of an Emergency Response Plan of a hospital in the event of a disaster striking. This paper specifically discusses the elements of the emergency plan for Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan, both before and after the attacks on the World Trade Tower. The way in which a local hospital should be concerned with protecting people, information systems, and communications is examined in this paper.
From the Paper
?The primary concern for a hospital is the protection of people. These people not only include the victims, but also management, employees, and families of the victims. It is necessary to be able to quickly assess the number and skill levels of the staffing available. In the early moments of a disaster, this may be difficult, as was the case in the World Trade Tower attacks. Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan received word that the trade towers were on fire. They quickly and efficiently invoked their Emergency Response Plan. They waited and prepared for a flood of victims. In this case, instead of being understaffed to handle the load, they found themselves with many willing and capable volunteers and unfortunately, no victims. This created another situation, in which, when a victim did come in they were stormed by people willing to help.?
