This article talks about how there is still a gap in equal pay between men and women.

Its crazy to see how the Us has not completely advanced on moved on from the same issues that were present back in the day. Inequality is a problem that has never left the country and needs to be both discussed and solved.

Interesting to see the gap slowly close as time goes on. One can only hope one day the gap will completely disappear and we can all have a seat at the table together.

Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.

The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE

I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

The gender pay gap is one issue that causes a lot of debate. People wonder whether the issue is true or just a myth. Economist have data and how it shows women clearly make less than men in the workforce.

This is an article all about breaking down the statistics surrounding Arizona's growing income gap between the middle class and the elite. Like most of America, our middle class has remained just about stagnant, while from 2017 to 2019, the top 20% of income earners in Arizona has risen 1.9%, which is .5% more than the national average.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

The wage gap this day in age is appalling! I liked how this article discusses exactly how this affects women in there day to day life.

This article points out the discrimination women face with the pay gap in the U.S. It talks about how even though women make up half of the work force they still earn less than the common man, the author then goes into the reasons this occurs and the efforts that need to be taken to close this wage gap.

Information can readily be absorbed when it is relevant to human purpose. The proper focus of authentic education is not ingestion and disgorgement of information like trained seals clapping their flippers on command but a development process that leads to critical thinking and life-long learning skills.

I agree with this education should be free. Lots of people don't go to college for the fact that they cant afford to go. President Biden has canceled student loans which I think was really good of him to do. I know people who are in debt due to this.

Education overall has so many social issues carved into it, cost being one of the major ones. Even just cutting down the cost would help. but we are one of the most expensive countries to attend college in. Like the article you linked states, student loans and the excessive amount people spend on an education results in them becoming bankrupt before even starting out.
