Why are woman always getting paid less than men? Why can’t woman reach the same level as men in some jobs. Women must go through so many challenges to get to the spot they want to be at. Women are also judged different than men are how is that fair? After doing some research I had found out that “We observed that external hiring skews male for C-suite positions, which contributes to a corporate environment in which women are well represented at early-tenure positions but remain a minority at more senior levels. Only 27 percent of C-suite positions in media and entertainment are held by women.” Women are not getting the same treatment as men. Only 27% of the c-suite is held by woman! Women can do the same as men can. Even when woman is in men’s position some do not feel as if they are treated fairly. In an article it says, “Women who work in majority-male workplaces feel much differently: 48% say women are treated fairly where they work when it comes to recruitment and hiring, and even fewer (38%) say women are treated fairly in promotions and advancement.” A Husband and wife were interviewed to see if they were getting close to the same wage pays. The Husband says “We are treated very well in our job. We have a good amount of lunch time, and we get paid a good amount for the work we do.” While the wife says, “The job is good, but it doesn’t really pay much most of the woman are getting a little paid less we only make 12k a year versus my husband he makes 23k a year” Woman have been Getting paid way less than men. There are more women overall in the media and entertainment industries. 49% percent in mostly entry level. After conduction, some research o found out that woman is more satisfied with their jobs then most men. “Women in media and entertainment report career-satisfaction rates that are slightly higher than men’s—77 percent of women versus 75 percent of men. Additionally, 82 percent of women in our research reported a desire to be promoted to the next level, as compared with 71 percent of women across all industries. Indeed, 35 percent of women in media and entertainment said they had asked for a promotion during the past year, compared with 27 percent of men in the industry. These statistics suggest that the low representation of women in senior roles cannot be attributed to a lack of desire for advancement.” Sometime women choose different jobs that pay less, here is an example: A woman wants to work as a teacher, and get paid less then occupations, like some men could choose a lawyer and still get paid more. In an article I read it said “This is really quite remarkable. A parenthood premium for males, and a penalty for woman.” Women even get a 7% wage reduction because they have a child while for men, they get money from it. In some place women are asked if sexual harassment was a thing in their job. In the article “Women in majority-male workplaces report higher rates of gender discrimination” by KIM PARKER it states “About half of women who work in male-dominated workplaces (49%) say this is at least a small problem where they work, including 15% who say it’s a big problem. By comparison, about a third of women who work in gender-balanced (34%) or female-dominated (32%) workplaces say sexual harassment is a problem where they work. About one-in-ten of these women say it’s a big problem.”
Okay so I read over it and it need some adjustments. There are spelling mistakes, over usage of words, and a lot of evidence. I will list why I chose these things below:
Spelling mistakes: In the sentence, “ Women are Getting paid way less than men,” that g is capital when it doesn’t need to be. Also, in a few other sentences husband is starts with a capital when it shouldn’t.
Over usage of words: You used the word “women” a lot throughout the feature. Using one word over and over is not good, it pops up a lot. In other words, say someone was scanning over your report and they saw “women” a lot throughout the report. They would use interest because of the over usage of the word. Now, it may be because of the abundance of evidence and support, but I will get into that in a sec. In summary, you shouldn’t use one word a lot throughout any passage… mix it up a little, I understand your topic, but try to replace it a little.
A lot of evidence: There is an over abundance of evidence throughout the report, it makes it really hard to get through because it is long. Also side note, some of your evidence does not include a source, where you got the evidence from, you don’t want your reader to think your plagiarizing another persons idea and thoughts. Anyway, it’s a lot so evidence, it’s all supporting the same topic but it’s a lot of it! Maybe try to sum it up to at least 4 supporting details WITH a source.
Overall, I think that it is really good and you seem passionate about your topic. Only little tweaks, you should read over it to correct those little spelling errors, tidy it up and ORGANIZE your evidence. Try to shorten it a bit and replace the word “women” a little throughout the passage. Other than those tips I think you are good! It a great topic and I wish you the best of luck!
Hope this helped, have a great day!! :D

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare explores how difficult it is to escape the circumstances and consequences of your birth. Discuss.
Please help!!!
Answer and Explanation:
"Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare presents the love story between Romeo and Juliet. Although this is a love story, its ending is not happy and inspiring, but rather tragic, as the two young people cannot be together because of the enmity between their families and end up making very drastic decisions so that they can live the love they feel one for the other.
As members of enemy families, Romeo and Juliet are born with the responsibility to maintain this enmity and prevent any kind of friendly relationship from being established between the families, even if the two have not participated in any activity that established the enmity between their families. When Romeo and Juliet decide to get married, they break this responsibility and reject the circumstances that make them support their family's wishes. However, Shakespeare shows, in his work, that the family obligation is inevitable and fate will find a way to make this responsibility fulfilled. In the play, this happens when Romeo and Juliet die, as proof of their love for each other, which allows their families' wish to be fulfilled, even if in a negative and sad way.

can anyone write romeo and juliet essay 3 short paragraphs?
Answer:
Romeo and Juliet’s play is believed to be the sixth most popular play of Shakespeare that has left its mark on millions of hearts. It is for certain that Romeo and Juliet’s play had already been performed by 1597 after the first quarto was published. However, there are no surviving records of Romeo and Juliet play performances before 1660.
It is assumed that Romeo and Juliet most likely had been acted by the Lord Chamberlain’s Men at the Theatre for the first time and soon after at the Curtain as well. But from the records, it can be said for certain that in 1662 Romeo and Juliet was staged by the Duke’s Company.
The plot of Romeo and Juliet has been modified many times over the years. First, William Davenant revived and revised the plot then David Garrick modified several scenes, removing several then considered indecent scenes so that it was considered as the 18th-century version of Romeo and Juliet. Georg Benda used a happy ending and omitted many actions of the play. In this way, the play kept on being modified.

Answer:
A strong thesis statement is key to writing a persuasive essay. The thesis statement presents your topic to the reader, provides your opinion on that topic and summarizes the argument you’ll make in the paper by offering evidence for your opinion. A good thesis statement should capture all of these essential details in just one or two sentences. The thesis statement generally appears after a brief introduction of your topic, often as the last sentence of your first paragraph.

Answer:
Wars are common catalysts behind a large disregard for the right of disadvantaged/marginalized groups.
Explanation:
As wars ensues, the idea of the enemy becomes muddled, fueling stereotypes, thus enacting rage against certain groups.
Answer: Wars ( especially civil ) disproportionately affect racial minorities with small or no history of generational wealth.
Explanation:
A great example of this is the American Civil War, where slaves captured by the union army can be held as "enemy contraband" and be forced to work. The reason this happened was because African Americans were seen as "other than human" at the time, because they were racial minority. After the war shifted tides Confederate Soldiers enacted " scorched earth tactics " burning down any infrastructure they could find before the Union Army could take it African Americans had historically lived in very condensed spaces with each other, therefore this seemingly small act disproportionately effected a large community. Free African Americans had a much lower presence in the south than in the North and were much less accepted by the community in which one in every four households owned slaves or 5% of the population. Black people were often victims of racial violence by the confederate army which they could do nothing about.

4. Romela drinks 2 1/2 L of
water in a day. How many
milliliters of water dow does she
drink all day?
Answer:
2500 milliliters
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Volume of water = 2½ or 2.5 Litres
To find the volume of water Romela drinks in millimeters;
In this exercise, we would have to convert the volume of water Romela drank (in litres) to its equivalent value in millimeters.
Conversion:
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
2 liters = 2 * 1000 = 2000 milliliters
2.5 liters = 2.5 * 1000 = 2500 milliliters
3 liters = 3 * 1000 = 3000 milliliters
Therefore, the volume of water Romela drank in millimeters is 2500.

Pyramus had left a little later than his Thisbe had, and he could see what surely were the tracks of a wild beast left clearly on deep dust. His face grew ashen.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

As Montag is walking through the woods, he sees a fire. What do you think he means by "It was not burning, it was warming" (Bradbury 139)? What is the significance of this quote in referance to the rest of the novel up to this point?
Hello. From the background of your question, we can see that you are referring to the book "Fahrenheit 451," which tells the story of a society dominated by an authoritarian government that prohibits the reading of books. In this society, firefighters are responsible for burning books and the houses where those books are found.
Montag, quoted in the question above, is one of those firefighters. However, little by little he starts to get in touch with the books and realizes how empty his life is without reading. In this case, Montag joins a group of people who are fighting to overthrow this government and allow reading to be a legal activity again.
When Montag says the line "It was not burning, it was warming," he is referring to how fire has the ability to bind as well as destroy. That's because he had just run away from a chase, until he found a group of teachers around a campfire. As a firefighter, Montage had only seen the destructive power of fire, but there, he saw how fire plays a role in bringing people together, making them comfortable and allowing a positive and meaningful conversation to be established between people. This quote shows that everything that is destructive can be reframed by people with good knowledge.
