Why There Are Few Women Leaders

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.

Applying Sociology Paper #2

Purpose: This is a time when students can actually apply the material they have read in the book and we have discussed in class to their everyday world. This is a constructive learning tool because it not only allows students to develop their writing, but it also empowers students to voice their theories and opinions. However, it should not be used as a time to mock or condemn other cultures or others’ beliefs. I would encourage students to constructively criticize an issue with respect and not attack in an uneducated manner.

Guidelines:

  • Select a social issue that when you started the class was believed to be a “private trouble,” but you have since learned that society is not helping with this issue and is in fact a public issue. I want you to develop your Sociological Imagination and consider how this issue may affect you.
  • I want students to research this topic using your textbook and other academic materials including the inclusion of at least 2 academic journal articles. I would encourage students use CTC library journal database and go beyond the Internet searches. I will NOT accept wiki sites, as they can be unreliable and not academic.
  • Questions I would like you to address when writing your paper. (These are a starting point. Please feel free, and I encourage you to, go above and beyond these questions. Also, if all of these questions do not fit your paper, then expand past them.)
    • What is the sociological issue that you are addressing?
    • Why did you pick this subject to write on?
    • Why did you feel that this was a private issue?
    • What role does society have in this issue? Explain and provide examples/supporting evidence.
    • Why is it important to study the issue in Sociology?
      • What does Functionalists think of the issue? Conflict theorists?
    • Why is it important to address the issue to the general public (outside of academia)?
      • What would be some of the potential positive consequences of addressing the issue?
      • What would be some of the negative consequences of addressing this issue?

7 American Bureaucracies & Trump Administration

/in /by

Please choose one of the following questions and react to it briefly in the discussion boards.

When you submit answer, please begin by pasting the question you are responding to in the text field. Then write your answer below.

Discussion question options:

One of the goals of the Trump Administration has been to reduce the size of the Federal Bureaucracy and the Federal Workforce. The Administration has imposed hiring freezes and has often elected to not replace civil servants who have retired or left for the private sector. In your view is this a good approach to managing government? Why or why not? What are the benefits of reducing the size of the federal workforce? What are the potential drawbacks of having fewer (and less expert) civil servants in office? Does the benefit outweigh the costs? [You may wish to think about the 5th Risk reading or the Covid crisis].

According to Michael Lewis’s The 5th Risk, bureaucracies are staffed by experts whose mission is to manage long term policy programs and prevent unlikely but serious policy problems. The politicians who control the bureaucracy (Presidents and Congress) are elected, and have short term incentives to win re-election. What challenges does this create for the funding and maintenance of programs meant to prevent crises? In your view, what reforms or educational initiatives (if any) would you recommend to help elected officials and the public understand the need for expert bureaucrats?

According to this recent Pew Research poll, (Links to an external site.) American show high levels of cynicism about government, and display low levels of trust in the federal government. However, when asked about specific programs Americans often show much more positive opinions of the performance of the federal government (Links to an external site.). Why do you believe is this the case? Do you believe this is a problem for American democracy? Why or why not?
