There is no gender equality in this country. patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195552953 2017-10-10 12:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195552953 We have made some progress, but we still have a lot of work left to do. There is some gender equality in this country, but nowhere near enough. patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195553995 2017-10-10 12:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195553995 We have made very good progress, but we still have a little work to do. There is mostly gender equality in this country. patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195554162 2017-10-10 12:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195554162 We have come all the way and achieved complete gender equality in our country and we have no work left to do. patty_weber https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195554348 2017-10-10 12:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195554348 Lydia Miles https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692184 I think we have made some progress from where we used to be in gender equality. Ee still have a lot of work to do, like closing the pay gap, but we still have made some improvements, such as granting women the right to vote and having more women in leadership roles than we used to.]]> 2017-10-10 16:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692184 Eva Farrell https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692205 There has been some improvement, but progress still needs to be made for gender equality. There are a total of 22 female world leaders, which is a small group when thinking about all the leaders in the world. There is still a pay gap between men and women. In NC, men seem to be paid about $5,000-$10,000 more than women. Women only hold 5.2% of CEO positions, which is about 26 out of 500 companies. ]]> 2017-10-10 16:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692205 Natalie Martin https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692614 I think that gender equality has made very good progress in the past couple years. Women have come out on top and have shown that women can be who they want to be. Men and women will be different and both have different roles and qualities but that does not mean one is above the other. Men and women are meant to work together not to be above the other. There are many women leaders in power and they are a force of change. Gender equality has come a long way and we are still moving towards complete equality. I don't think we will ever achieve full equality but we can keep moving forward in accepting each other. Some women must take the father's role and work in the workforce and hold a job while some fathers must be in the home and taking care of children so either way both roles are working together.

Women have leadership roles as CEO's, but only a mere 5.2% of Fortune 500 companies are captained by women. I think this number will continue to grow over time. When it comes to voting rights, acceptance, and switching gender roles (men working in the home) I think we are continuing to go in the right direction as a society.]]> 2017-10-10 16:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/patty_weber/9ontt1263is3/wish/195692866
