There are two parts and the chapter material is in the file I upload
1. the first part is to clarify your thought about question,(no less than 200 words)
Here is the question:For this last discussion forum of the semester, tell me what connections do you see between Sandberg’s points and concepts mentioned in the chapter? And moreover, in your own words, explain what she means and also tell me whether you agree or disagree with her advice and why
2.Here is the second part which you need to make a comment about the others thoughts.(no less than 125 words)
Here is the others’ response:
In Sandberg’s presentation, she talks about why women can not get promotions. She points out that in multiple challenging fields, men take the majority of the population, whereas women become the minority. This difference in amount is also known as the sex segregation. Besides, I think this issue is related to the concept of the glass ceiling in Chapter 10 by Giddens. A lack of resources or support blocks women’s entry to a higher position. Even though they are capable of specific jobs, they stay in the same place. Sandberg explains this issue further by giving an example of stereotypes toward women. When hearing two names, “Heidi” and “Howard” in the same situation, people tend to be in favor of “Howard” more. This is the result of gender inequality because “Heidi” receives a different treatment in terms of sex.
