    Thank you for this! I will be using this for my research paper!
  •  
    This article/ website definitely hits many different ways racial profiling can happen. I always believed, why judge a person based off their skin color when underneath we are all the same.
  •  
    I found it interesting that it said racial profiling is patently illegal. it also says racial profiling is ineffective. It makes me wonder how often occurrences like this are allowed just because no one wants to deal with it.

Gender Equality - 1 views

  •  
    Gender equality still remains a big factor in women lives when it comes to career choices. In the article it compares the level of consideration between males and females when they pick their careers. This issue isn't going unnoticed by the press however and top influence's are doing their best to improve women's comfort ability and confidence when it comes to career choices.

    I believe that in general, regardless of gender, a person should pursue and be whatever they want to. Gender roles have substantially changed over the years and continue to do so. Chasing careers and hiring for jobs should focus on the person as an individual, not by their gender.
  •  
    I hate to admit, being a woman in society is definitely challenging in numerous ways. It's horrible that a person's gender determines if they qualify for the job or not. Although, throughout the years I believe people have improved and for the most part, people have stopped becoming so simple minded. Women are finally given the credit that they deserve.
  •  
    I think its important that we consider that its Gender Equality and not Female Equality. Both sides of the fence face the same descrimination. I am personally in a position where I am more than qualified to move up, but am noticing that only women are being promoted. There are struggles on both sides.
