General Motors ranks number on in world for workplace gender equality

# data[].attributes.body
Many companies are making changes to make gender equality a thing. Since the workplace is one of the most discriminated places. This is so important because still women make less money then men. Or they aren't allowed to do the jobs that men can do. But, bringing gender equality in, it gives women the opportunity to do all of these things and bring the money. Like said in the  TedTalk, will create more happiness for both. Sometimes even women put more work into their jobs, even though they can't do as much, and even though this is true, they don't make the money they deserve. I feel like many companies should follow General Motors and show some more gender equality. This relates to TEWWG because Janie worked so hard in the store. But, she got treated very poorly.

A girl in Iran, died for women's rights. She had been fighting a while for women's rights. All she did was show her face. While reading this it kind of showed me how far America is in the women's rights movements. We are allowed to go out in public and show our faces without dying. We are allowed to work, were allowed to watch lectures. We can go to school, vote and own property. We have a lot more freedom then other countries. After reading this it showed me a lot. Though America does need to make some changes to equality. We are still a lot farther then other countries.

Why gender equality is good for everyone — men included

# data[].attributes.body
This TedTalk is so strong in my opinion. This man, Michael Kimmel, is sharing how gender equality is good for people. There are countries that has total equality and they are the happiest countries. Its so powerful because he as a man is sharing how he feels its an issue. The difference in the reaction he gets from sharing he believes in gender equality and when a women does, is a huge difference. They understand it more coming from a man because they feel its more of an issue, if a man themselves is saying it. There are so many pros of having equality. Companies thrive, there is more happiness, and men can even benefit. When women are happy and feel as if they're respected, men can benefit. Everyone benefits from gender equality.

TED Talk Subtitles and Transcript: Yes, we all know it's the right thing to do. But Michael Kimmel makes the surprising, funny, practical case for treating men and women equally in the workplace and at home. It's not a zero-sum game, but a win-win that will result in more opportunity and more happiness for everybody.

In this video, Aija Mayrock talks about how girls are portrayed. Instead of looking at intelligence, we get looked at for our bodies. Or if were giving the impression of wanting to do things with a man. Or to get a raise you need to sell yourself instead of earning it. This is so true to society today. Men feel as if they are higher then us. Instead of doing things to make ourselves happy, we do things to make men happy, because that's what were told. We wear clothes that will impress men, not ourselves. We feel like we our below men, even though we should be equal. This is a strong poem because it says a lot of things many people are afraid to say. Its very moving and powerful. This relates to TEWWG because everyone treated Janie like she didn't matter until she met Tea Cake.

In this TedTalk, Justin Baldoni talks about how he is done trying to be "man enough". I really like this because he is stepping out of the gender norms. Hes showing its okay to be vulnerable and not feel like you're higher then women. He speaks about how standing up for women when people are talking down on her, should be a norm. This man represents how its okay for women to be equal. How we shouldn't be scared to go out and do things that men can do. But, also men shouldn't be afraid to cry, or show their feelings. This is so true in my eyes. Genders form so many norms. Men can't cry, girls can't be tough, men can't be vulnerable, girls can't fight. We form these norms for these genders and it's so hard for us to get out of them. When we have people who step out of them its so refreshing. You would see this man as tough, but hes talking about emotions.

Justin Baldoni: Why I'm done trying to be "man enough"

In this episode, Bow is struggling from who she really is. When her son brings home a white women, she doesn't know how to feel about it. It really bothers her. As the episode goes on she continues to struggle with the fact that her son brought home a white women. At the end of the episode we come to find out why this bothers Bow so much. Bow is a bi-racial women. Her dad is white and her mom is black. As Bow was growing up being bi-racial confused her, she never knew what she was more of, white or black. Shes grown to be more of a black women and that's why when her son, Junior brings home a white women it confuses her. She fights with herself throughout the episode, trying to figure out why she feels this way This reigns true for many cases in life today. Many bi-racial question their identity because there is two options and  growing up you feel like you have to choose one to embrace more. Many people embrace their black heritage more, because in this society calling yourself white, with a darker skin tone is looked to as wrong, and growing up many people tell you what way you should feel. You're shaped into feeling a certain kind of way. Just like Janie. Janie was told how to live her life from the start and that's how many people grow up when their bi-racial.

Most Americans Think Their Own Group Faces Discrimination

Most Americans Think Their Own Group Faces Discrimination

# data[].attributes.body
Many groups today think that their race experiences discrimination. But, until they live the lives of people who have truly experienced discrimination, they don't know. In this article they show the difference in the lifestyles of each group. In many of the polls it was shown that African Americans face the most discrimination, especially African American men. This relates to TEWWG because in the book the African Americans face the most discrimination. They have to take care of the whites, and do as they say. Or they will receive punishment. Whites don't get the same punishments that the blacks get.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Majorities in many ethnic, identity and racial groups in America believe that discrimination exists against their own group, across many areas of people's daily lives, according to a poll from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The poll asked a wide range of questions about where Americans experience discrimination - from the workplace to the doctor's office - and people's perception of it. The groups polled include whites, blacks, Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans and LGBTQ adults.

White Americans are among those who feel their group is discriminated against, with 55 percent saying discrimination exists against whites in the U.S. today.

These results are part of a large national statistically representative survey of 3,453 adults from Jan. 26 to Apr. 9.

We will be releasing the full results of the poll over the next several weeks, starting Tuesday with results from the survey of African-Americans. We will highlight and analyze the particular acts of discrimination that each group experiences.

The African-American results, in 802 adults, provide insight into the historically high levels of discrimination blacks have faced since arriving in America. These experiences happen across a broad range of situations: interacting with police; applying for jobs or seeking promotions; trying to rent an apartment or buy a home; or going to a doctor or health clinic.

The findings on African-Americans have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

The perceptions of discrimination are not primarily based in actions by institutions, as some might expect. "Most African-Americans believe that discrimination is due to the attitudes of individuals that they interact with," says Robert Blendon, the poll's director and professor of policy and political analysis at the Harvard Chan School. "A smaller share believes it's actually government or institutional policies."

Fear of discrimination, possibly triggered by past encounters, plays out in different ways. We found that this fear significantly influences people's decisions whether to seek medical care, to call the police when in need, and even whether to drive or attend social events. Nearly one-third (32 percent) of African-Americans polled said they have personally experienced racial discrimination when going to the doctor or a health clinic, with 22 percent avoiding care out of fear of discrimination.

"If someone is avoiding seeking medical care out of fear of discrimination, they're at risk of going undiagnosed for serious conditions," says Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We know that repeated stress from discrimination and racism can actually make some of those conditions more likely in the first place and shorten lives."

And repeated stress comes from many kinds of discrimination and the fear it engenders. Numerous studies have shown that African-Americans are more likely to be stopped by police compared with other racial groups. In the poll, 60 percent of people told us that they or a family member have been unfairly stopped or mistreated by police because they are black.

That has consequences for them personally and across society - 31 percent of poll respondents say fear of discrimination has led them to avoid calling the police when in need. And 61 percent say police are more likely to use force on a person who is African-American than on a white person in the same situation.

Where people live can make a big difference, too. Our survey found that 64 percent of blacks live in non-majority-black areas. For these people, perceptions of local discrimination, opportunity, police and government and community environment were generally better when compared with majority-black areas, sometimes by wide margins.

Our poll found substantial numbers of African-Americans who say they have been slurred or have been the target of insensitive or offensive comments or negative assumptions. A story later in our series will explore the split by income and gender in the chart below.

Persistently higher premature death rates in blacks compared with whites was one of the issues that inspired this poll and series. The most recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that gap at 16 percent, even though it has narrowed since 1999, when death rates for blacks from all causes were 33 percent higher than whites.

Many factors play into the gap, including a considerable drop in crime rates involving African-Americans over that period and improved access to medical care for many people. What we're trying to explore with our "You, Me and Them" series and poll is how the stress-inducing experiences of discrimination in everyday life affect health.

"Over 200 black people die prematurely every single day in America, in part because of racism in society," says David Williams, a professor of public health at the Harvard Chan School who has pioneered work in the field of racial disparities in health care. "This poll helps us see where we need to take action to address the problem."

The poll was conducted in the first quarter of 2017. A final report discussing major highlights from the series will be released in December.

Although Blackface isn't as popular as it was back in the time before the civil war. They're are still many people that do it, some without even knowing. When some people do blackface, they do it with no intents of being racist. But, because of the history, its not okay to do so. Many actors and actresses tan themselves and it seems a little like blackface. Although not intentional either. Many people dress up as black characters for Halloween and also face the consequences. African Americans have dealt with a lot of racism in the past. Blackface was used in show bis and entertainment as a form of stereotype. When being used it stereotyped the way black people talked, acted and looked. In a way the white people applied the make up they looked to be mimicking clowns. Which is very offensive to the African Americans.

Blackface: A cultural history of a racist art form

In this TedTalk Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the norms of a childrens book. When she grew up she read books that mainly had to do with blonde hair, blue eyed children who talk about the weather. This had nothing to do with her culture. Nobody talked about the weather, because it didn't matter.  This represents how we show blind racism. We aren't intentionally racist, but because of how we are brought up we see these things as our norms. We mainly choose to put those kinds of characters in. She step out of those norms though. This shows Janie, because Janie stepped out of her norms. She did things many people wouldn't think of doing.

Today, many whites feel as if they don't have privilege. They think all people are treated equal. Even though in many ways this isn't true. In society today African Americans are punished way more and way harsher then whites. For example, police are quick to assume that if there is a African American and a white in a confrontation. They go to assume the African American is at fault. Or they shoot them, because they were "in fear for their life". This is displayed in TEEWG when the whites get their own coffins, and the blacks get thrown into a pit. It just shows how we take priority in making sure the whites feel better before taking into consideration the African Americans feelings.
