Working Women in America by Megan Manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib By: Megan Manny en-us 2016-06-15 17:00:10 UTC 2017-05-17 04:01:25 UTC hello@padlet.com America's Continuing Evolution to Access Unalienable Rights megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114750092 Even with all of the available opportunities, working women have still not gained full access to the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Throughout the evolution of American history, when the people of America demand something that meets pure morals and ethics, the government does the best that they can to allow citizens to pursue their happiness and supply what the citizens demand. Citizen’s morals and ethics change slowly over time allowing social norms to accept certain civil rights for the people.]]> 2016-06-15 17:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114750092 My Identity megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114751070 I am able to contribute to my society by supporting the demand for jobs with my hardworking self. Because of the need for money to be able to make it, and live a luxurious life in America I am able to get a job starting at a young age. This shows that I am hardworking and dedicated to make a good life for myself. As a minority in America (woman) I am able to share my thoughts about how woman should be treated the same way as men. ]]> 2016-06-15 17:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114751070 Woman megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114751946 As a women in America I am not able to gain full access to unalienable rights. Later in life, when I go to choose my career I will most likely not run for office due to a past pattern in America of women not being elected to places in office. I will also most likely not make as much money as a working man, due to a lack of laws allowing men and women to make the same wage. This is significant to note because it shows that with all of the available resources in America for women to build a successful life for themselves, women can still not be as successful as men. Therefore, as a women in America I am motivated to make a successful life for myself due to the factors that hold women back from having full access to unalienable rights. ]]> 2016-06-15 17:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114751946 Worker megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114752426 As a worker in America I am able to offer my labor in return for money. In order to make a living in America, a job is needed. I am 17 years old, working a 15-20 hour work week to support my needs that I have in life. Working allows me to feel like a liberated American, although I am not able to gain full access to unalienable rights due to the fact that my wage is not the same as a man’s wage.  Being a worker allows me to show my hardworking and dedicated character. I am committed to my job, and all of the responsibilities that it comes with. Being a worker also allows me to not take what is given to me for granted, everything that is handed to me I appreciate.

It can take time, but the United States is efficient in creating new civil rights that support the god given unalienable rights. Citizens morals and ethics change by slowly changing social norms to accept certain civil rights for the people.]]> 2016-06-15 18:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114752647 Past -----> Present Events megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114753071 2016-06-15 18:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114753071 The Failed Ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114753360
  • Designed to guarantee equal rights for women
  • 1923, it was introduced in the Congress for the first time
  •  Middle-class women generally were supportive
  • Those speaking for the working class were strongly opposed, arguing that employed women needed special protections regarding working conditions and hours
  • 1972, it passed both houses of Congress and was submitted to the state legislatures for ratification
  • 1977, the amendment received 35 of the necessary 38 state ratifications
  • In 1978, a joint resolution of Congress extended the ratification deadline to June 30, 1982, but no further states ratified the amendment and it died

This amendment means a lot considering it was not socially acceptable for women to have a job until after World War II. Now that women are able to work, the demand is so they get paid the same amount as men, along with getting the same benefits. Women do not have full access to unalienable rights, mostly due to the lack of laws to help working women. Over time in America, the government helped supply the demand for equal rights to have no gender discrimination although America is yet to gain full access to unalienable rights for working women.

Over time, they were able to work in factories and do jobs that men have done for centuries. They are even able to fight on the front in wars. Women have typically not run for office on account of a majority of men running the government. As of 2015, 104  women hold seats in the United States Congress. Women have worked hard over time to gain full access to unalienable rights by making their way into office one step at a time. It becomes a social norm to have women working in office, and now in 2016 Hillary Clinton was the first woman to win the Democratic Primary in the Presidential Election.]]> 2016-06-16 15:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114840419 What Needs to Happen megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114842808 What's unalienable cannot be taken away or denied. In the Declaration of Independence, it promises the people unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Throughout the evolution of American history, when the people of America demand something that meets pure morals and ethics, the government attempts to give the people what they want and allows citizens to pursue their happiness. This can only be done by changing the ethics and social norms of the majority of American society in order to make change and gain full access to unalienable rights.]]> 2016-06-16 15:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114842808                                                                                                      Works Cited megan_manny https://padlet.com/megan_manny/wu38y1a0rbib/wish/114846581 Andrews, Wilson, Kitty Bennett, and Alicia Parlapiano.
