 Article Evaluation: Civil Rights Act of 1964   Article Evaluation: Gender Pay Gap   Gender Pay Gap Added Statement 
 * The link to Kennedy's report is another Wikipedia page instead of the actual report. Direct quotes were pulled from the report, but no link.
 * In the Legislative History, the party of the members of congress are continuously mentioned. Republican v. Democrat pov on issue.
 * Seems to be pro Lyndon by mentioning his enthusiasm and swiftness in passing the bill in "Passage in Senate."
 * Smith "embarrassing" Northern Democrats does not add to the topic of Women's Rights. It is more scandalous rather than informative.
 * Too much unnecessary information about Smith in Women's Rights. If really that necessary, a link to his name could have been added to find out more about him.
 * "According to a copy of the directive reviewed by BuzzFeed News"Civil Rights Act of 1964 cites Buzzfeed as a reliable source in which it is not since the reporters are not experts.
 * For the "Continued Resistance" section, various resistances were mentioned, but there exist many more, even more influential ones. Not sure why those specifically were wrote about and why others were not.
 * The definition of Gender Pay Gap only includes "man" and "woman."
 * States "gender pay gap still exists" although there are still theories that it does not. Describes it as a fact rather than a gray area.
 * Great use of citing information.
 * In "Over Time" section the different sources of data do not correlate since it mentions the overall wage gap not closing "for the next 150 years" and another states the executive gender pay gap wont close "until 2109," the section mentions one area of work, but not others. If the statements were followed by predictions of other areas of work the data would be more reliable and not as cherry-picked.
 * The manner in which wages were calculated and compared differ by country (ex. calculated as "average gross hourly earnings" in EU and as "average weekly ordinary time earnings for full-time employees" in Australia)
 * Many of the links to sources I clicked on seemed credible and citations were well placed.

Although men tend to earn a higher salary than women in most fields of work, there are some occupations where women tend to receive higher yearly pay than men.  Assignment 7 

Glass escalator

Glass ceiling

I can add information on how women are limited in quality of work and in opportunities due to the feminine characteristics assigned onto them. As an example I will use the super market setting in which women are seen to better with "emotional management," so are mostly assigned to work cashier. Working cashier inhibits women from learning about all the operations of the supermarket, restraining them from receiving promotions. The supermarket example exhibits the domino effect of how other people's perception of women impact their career paths, which I would further elaborate on by using credible resources.

 Stereotypes Influence the Glass Ceiling 

Feminine stereotypes attributed to women is one widely-recognized reason as to why female employees are systematically inhibited from receiving advantageous opportunities in their career field. Majority of Americans perceive women to be more emotional and men to be more aggressive than their opposite sex. Glass ceilings can be observed in the typical American supermarket in which women are assigned to be cashiers due to the belief that women are better at emotional management with customers. A class action law suit was filed against Lucky Stores for the unjust assignment of tasks to employees of different race and sex. Gender stereotypes influence how leaders are chosen by employers and how workers of different sex are treated.
