=== Gender Inequality explores many aspects such as men being superior than women in most cases. For instance, when it comes to working, men get paid more than women due to their ability of time commitment and risks taking. Also, men always come first before women in a sentence or in the general language since men created it and believe it is only the correct way. Men believe that we live in their world and that we should do as they say, but women should also have the ability to express their ideas and live their lives. ===

=== Not only is gender inequality just about a persons gender, but it also has a lot to do with a persons class and race. People are not just being discriminated by gender, but are being treated poorly based on their roles as people and class which reflects on a broader understanding of sexualized assumptions. Gender and class have lost their perfect connections, but gender and the sexualized assumptions still have a significant impact towards the class situations of a woman and a man in many different ways. This is important because a persons sexuality/ assumes sexuality created norms and stereotypes of how one acts in society and how their class is represented. This "class" point of view also has a lot to do with the work organizations because there is a distinct difference between men and women in the work industry. For instance, men are treated with more respect than women because women seem to be weaker and actually obey. Women are discriminated and not respected by their co-workers which mostly always seem to be men because they take advantage of women emotionally and physically. Men seem to have better positions in the work industry because it has been researched that almost managers are always said to be men. ===

Something that tends to affect people in their personal lives is the gender inequality that happens in a household such as each genders responsibilities. For instance, society's gender roles/norms indicates that men should be hard workers for their family, whereas women are responsible for taking care of their family and house. This is important because not every women has the opportunity to stay home and focus on their gender role because they also have to go and work, which means that it then becomes two jobs for a women. Women who work have a hard time focusing and managing their time on both responsibilities which leads them to having less hours worked and less flexibility than men. Although men tend to be working the most by dedicating their time, they should also help women in the household and balance their responsibilities. This is important because it helps people understand and bring out their gender attitude. Overall, household labor should be distributed more equally because being men or women doesn't not mean one can't do the others role or responsibilities.

There are many types of discrimination that might affect a person’s lives due to their gender. For instance, there is social discrimination, stereotypes, gender discrimination, and employment discrimination. All of these concepts reflect to a person’s gender because they are being treated differently depending on their gender and roles assigned. Although many people talk about women being discriminated and sexualized in certain jobs, no one really talks about the discrimination men face in their work environment. Men are always put first when work places need a certain job done that might be a little too risky, but men don’t really have an option to deny. However, women also face this because there are many situations that involve manipulative coworkers and managers that threaten women to lose their job if not done what they asked foe that can seem a bit odd. Overall, women and men both face discrimination during work hours and can even be taken to a personal level.

This point is quite interesting and important because it can also represent the glass ceiling effect point of view since it indicated the gender disadvantages. The disadvantages of this is shown in a deeper representation on the top levels than on the bottom which can affect a persons career depending not their gender. It has been shown that the glass ceiling effect has impacted women the most. This relates to the idea of actresses getting paid less that actors when they are committed in a high level of career. It is not fair that men are getting paid more than women on the same job and position being done simply because of their gender because everyone should be allowed to have the same opportunities and not be discriminated based on their gender. This simply shows that gender inequality does exist in everyones lives because everyone faces a certain situation that favors the other gender more. The glass ceiling effect is a higher level of inequality but can still be compared to gender inequality since it profoundly included all sorts of inequality.
