I Am Malala

This course was about gender inequality. The purpose of this assignment was to reflect what we are learning throughout every course and connect it to Malala. I learned to take gender inequality more serious and important. Nothing was challenging about our lesson personally as it was easy to take in. I am mostly proud of all the debates about serious topics we were able to have within each other.

U.S.A v.s Mongolia

This assignment was to compare America's similarities or differences of women inequality with any country you prefer. The purpose of this essay to open your eyes on how equality is a big challenge that should be taken seriously as it can effect in many other severe challenges. I was already socially aware I just learned statistics. I am mostly proud of the knowledge I gained through these inequalities women have to go through in their daily lives.

Would you rather take a ride to America or Mongolia? The domestic violence to equal pay for women and marriage choices are things you might want to consider by answering my question. As a female, you might question these inequalities just to live a normal life unlike a male living with power by his gender and not by his character. America and Mongolian are far apart from distance but not from the achievement of goals. Mongolia and America are fighting for the equality as they have support systems and programs to help women have power in many categories as just equal payment, domestic violence, and marriage choices are just some.

America is one of the richest developed countries who also fight for the simplicity of equality. According to Soraya, Chemaly women experience partner violence 1 in 3. This might seem like a small number but compared to the male it is 1 in 7 who experience domestication. The equality in payment is also a struggle to have since we have decided as a society to pay women 77 cents for every dollar a male makes as Tanya Somander stated. No matter if you are struggling to make ends meat or got your own reputation in wealth you have to keep in mind a guy is still making more than you based on a gender knowing it wasn't’ your choice to be who you are physical. The marriage choice can be given by the law or by tradition. Many parents that came from very strict countries and come to America may follow the same lifestyle. Therefore we still have some marriage choices, not including America does give rights to marry whoever you want.

Mongolia unemployment of female in 2014 was 4.8% according to The World Bank. Knowing Mongolia is in between China and Russia you will think they are in a bad position on growth which there are obviously not. Mongolia marriage choices is not a big deal as America. They have the same freedom to marry on the law of being at least 18. The domestication of women in a form of rape or assault can be punished by imprisonment. Although there is no law specifically targeting the spousal rape. As NGOs said it is mostly under-reported.  

There are many differences and similarities between Mongolia and United States. Marriage choices, domestic violence, and equal payment are very similar but tackled differently in these two countries. Marriage choices are both on the same understatement of marrying whoever you want. The equal payment of women is the same in 77 cents for every dollar a man makes which is an unsatisfactory similarity. Domestic violence is still an unclear topic that has many cooperation helping this but never passed by a severe law. Mongolia has a lower rate of women labor force of 4.8% as U.S.A has 6%. That is the biggest difference they have rather than the different programs that help the women.

One thing Mongolia and U.S can feed off each other is spreading their cause to help a bigger audience. Instead of different cooperation make limited big companies have an easier resource to a support system. On making their country a better place their at the right path to have many organization to support these women in need. I found out how similar these both countries are in making a change.

Equality in Education

Equality in Education is a problem that should be taken seriously. Education is a basic need that should be provided everywhere and to everyone. As a person who cares about the society, we should guide the next generation to a pass of success.

According to United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, 124 million children and adolescents are out of school. Based on UNESCO two-thirds of 774 million illiterate people in the world are female. This ties with the fact that if we provided equal education to girls as we do with boys our society would have less early age pregnancies and fewer malnutrition children according to UNESCO. Education is a basic need that should be fulfilled equally regardless of gender and economic status.

Without education, we would be a chaotic society in a way with no progress, skills, or sustainable to live.The equality in education would fall on basic need on Maslow's hierarchy. Without education, our society would not live a sustainable life, therefore, not move up the “stairs of a fulfilling life”.

A child's background plays a big role in the level of success they are given. According to APA, school systems in low SES communities have fewer resources; therefore, kids can't learn to their fullest potential, unlike High SES school. APA states knowing low SES communities aren't given enough resources it damages kids entering high school as they are 3.3-grade levels behind a high social economic status school.This states kids that have the opportunity in going to school still face with the inequality of the ability to learn their fullest potential as a child not being to go at all.

Everyone deserves to have a bright future. To the equality gender, social status or any other factors, we should grow as a society not be isolated in a group of limited success. That includes helping the young generation with any type of learning skill to help them grow to a better future. As Sonia Sotomayor said, “ Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society”.Based on the lack of equality in education; the lack being gender equality and economic status. By bringing light to this lack of equality I bring light to why everyone should have the equal education with the same resources.
