Discrimination against women Identification of Discrimination Discrimination is a situation where certain categories of people are exposed to unjust and prejudicial treatment on the grounds of sex, age or race (Krieger, 2014). In most cases, people are discriminated based on the category in which one belongs rather than basing it on an individual attribute. Sometimes discrimination may entail differential treatment of a given group of people or an individual based on their perceived membership, especially in a particular social category. Discrimination is based on societal norms, rules, and roles, which instructs and encourage men to feel superior to women. This is the reason why men devalue women even in developed economies such as the US where there are laws, which discourage such behaviors (Krieger, 2014). Thus, discrimination against women prevents them from having certain rights and opportunities like the ones enjoyed by other members of the group. This in turn ends up causing the exclusion of a given entity based on potentially illogical as well as irrational decisions. In the contemporary world, many companies are fond of using discriminatory policies,…
AGENTS OF SOCIALIZATION, AMERICAN SOCIETY With a keen scrutiny into the agents of socialization affecting the current society in America, I would argue that the key agents of socialization in todays United States society have not undergone major changes. Most of them have remained the same (perhaps with an exception of one or two) as they were for the last 50 years or so. They include family, education system, peers and media. The role of media should however not be underrated. The ways some of this socialization is being delivered has taken a new trend, but the agents have remained the same. Socialization entails the process by which society values are passed from one generation to another. Through socialization, the young ones learn how the society expects them to behave under different situations. This in turn enables them to become functional in the society. Personally, my main socialization agent has been the family for as long as I have been in existence. From my tender age, I have spent my life together with my family members, learning the accepted…

Self Esteem and Gender Identity The aspect of gender identity comes to play through conceptualizations of the individual as being male or female. However, it is worth noting how some people experience difficulties in belonging to either side and as such, they cannot define themselves as male or female. Gender identity is closely tied to the concept of gender role. The gender role comes in to define one’s personality concerning gender identity. Therefore, it follows that society plays a critical role in defining gender identity through assigning male or female’s roles which they have to conform to fit in the society. Boys who have been brought up in the absence of their fathers develop more feminine gender identity and less masculine gender identity which leads to a low self -esteem in the course of the interactions with other members of society (Lange, 2017). Gender identity aligns very closely with social stereotypes in the sense that they both shape mental processes like memory and attention, and in the event, affect an individual’s preferences and behaviors.

National culture is a vital aspect when it comes to community development and the creation of projects in a specific country, especially when working from outside countries.
