In “Precedents: The Destruction of the European Jews” by Raul Hilberg, he writes about the three policies that make up the devastating history of the holocaust. According to Helberg, these policies are “conversion, exploitation, and annihilation” (256). Conversion being Christians telling the Jews, “You have no right to live among us as Jews” (Helberg 257). Expulsion then becoming Christian saying, “You have no right to live among us” (Helberg 257). Then, the annihilation policy, which were the Christians saying, “You have no right to live” (Helberg 257). Hilberg writes that this was the administrative process that led to the murder of millions of Jews. According to Hilberg, the annihilation of the Jewish people was a systematic process.
In “Working it Out” by Diana Eck, she writes about religious oppression in the workplace. The examples she gives on the many ways people have been fired, or the ways in which people's faiths have been compromised, reiterates that the amendment that states freedom of religion in the United States, is

Miller, Alice H. Eagly, and Marcia C. Linn, it measured gender-science stereotype, “” (2). which is defined as associations that connects science with men more than women. This is believed to come from a lack of representation of women in the relative field. The study notes that putting women in science related fields in media, or having more women in the field, lessons that stereotype. They conducted the experiment by measuring 66 nations, which consisted of 350,000 participants’ explicit and implicit gender-science stereotypes. They found a relationship “between women's representation in science and national gender-science stereotype” (Eagly, Linn, Miller 8). The results of the study concluded that “implicit and explicit measures indicated strong association of science with man” (Eagly, Linn, Miller
Ian Kershaw empathetically states that “The Holocaust was the systematic, extermination of six million Jews by the Nazi government and their allies during World War II.” He further add that it wasn’t until after Adolph Hitler “became Chancellor of the German government, he began targeting the Jews as racially inferior to the German people (Kershaw, 1985).
As per research ‘gender’ provides a perspective from which one could examine the biases that exist in the larger society. Some believe that to arrive at a more eloquent understanding of the problems of women in science , one should begin by asking what is the nature of science space that leads to under-representation and marginalisation of women rather than questioning the situation of a woman’s life that makes it difficult for her to pursue science.
As groups continue to use science against one another, stereotypes are taking over the world and creating negativity within society. As women are being told they are not smart, African Americans are being told they are unequal, and Muslims are being told they are all terroristic by nature based on the science that claims their inferiority and stereotypes; peace cannot prevail and war cannot contain. Scientific research and social correlations are not viewable through the same ideas, or else stereotypes continue to rampage on claiming proof through science; and ultimately groups will continue to prove their stereotypes wrong through violent and hysteric means. Inaccurate scientific research is encouraging the social beliefs of the inferiority of certain groups, and creating an unjust and socially biased
The United States is one of the most culturally and religiously diverse countries in the world. The founding fathers of the United States wanted to ensure that its people would have the ability to practice their religion with no threat of persecution. In order to accomplish the goal of religious freedom and continue to ensure that all people of any religion would be free to practice their religion, the United States passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits an employer from discriminating based on the religious views of its employees. As the citizens of the United States spend a large amount of time in their places of employment, religious practices that these employees feel are necessary for the true observance of their religion must be accommodated by the employers. This law contends that in cases where the accommodation of religious practices of its employees does not create undue hardships, an employer must make reasonable accommodations for employees to practices the beliefs of their religion. As the demographics of the United States continues to change with more religiously diverse people immigrating to the country, employers are coming under more pressure to ensure they are taking all possible precautions to accommodate the religious practices of its employees. These precautions are important as the once an employee has established a bona fide complaint of religious discrimination, the burden of proof then falls on the employer to prove they
Everyone is entitled to natural rights such as freedom of speech, freedom to protest, and freedom of beliefs or religion. However, these are personal, or private, rights, and are therefore limited in the work force. Once one brings these personal rights, more specifically freedom of religion, into the work force, they violate the separation of church and state. The separation of church and state is simply a law preventing government officials to serve with biased opinions based on personal beliefs. All government agents are expected to serve with an unbiased opinion, and it is difficult to do that if one
The Nazi government led by Adolf Hitler, used the miscellaneous systems of persecution to implement the Holocaust. Some of the systems of persecution were propaganda, creation of laws and the use of gas chambers. In the beginning propaganda is practiced by the government to shift the community’s outlook on a certain point of view. Another key point is the creation of laws against interaction with Jewish people. Finally, the government utilized deadly gas chambers to kill Jewish people. With this in mind, The Nazi regime was able to enforce the holocaust.
There is empirical evidence to show that males do not like females to be clever in areas considered male. They think there is something strange about females who want to be scientists. (Fensham 2005. p.224). Keller (2002) postulates that maintaining gender differences may not be primarily due to teacher interactions but due to the behaviour of the schoolchildren themselves. This then reinforces the argument students themselves are forcing themselves into gender roles. Tobin (cited in Kahle 2005) states there is hidden invisibility of masculinity and dominance in science, in the masculine verbal bravado present and evident in science classrooms. By contrast, females lack science
How Stereotypes Can Drive Women to Quit Science was an intriguing article. From first hand experience of being a girl who enjoys science, I can say that none of the "guys are better than girls at..." stereotypes have ever affected me. All girls have what it takes to be engineers, but not all girls enjoy math and science. I agree with the last line of the article, "in order to boost the numbers of women who choose to go into those fields, you have to boost the number of women who are in those fields." This is typical human nature and applies to everything. I went to an arcade last night with my close friend. We were the only two older kids in the arcade and we felt uncomfortable, but then, we went and played laser tag and all of the sudden,
The number of female scientist in most developed countries is better than it was a few decades ago — a time that forged the thinking and attitudes of many of today’s senior scientists. But such attitudes continue to prevent equality. It is right to highlight and protest against examples of explicit and implicit bias in research. And it is essential that all those who are involved, strive for a better
Women have developed on many aspects of life. Nevertheless, gender stereotype still lives among us. Women scientist and politician face more challenges than their men with the same career. They are further critiqued on their physical and emotions in addition to their intelligence. Our culture still lacks to fully accept the equality of men and women. It is often seen than women experts are not as praised or paid as men with the same level of expertise. This creates negative psychological repression and reduces the motivation to achieve
This memo’s purpose is to analyze the intended audience of my sexism in STEM research paper. Below addresses the intended audience and the background and history of the audience with the topic.
Imagine a physicist. What image do you see in your mind’s eye? One may have no stereotypes of how a scientist is to appear if they have been raised in a completely egalitarianism society, but the typical person is exposed constantly to the idea that a scientist looks and acts a certain way. I imagine a white middle-aged man, a slightly eccentric but overall difficult to relate to guy; I may or may not be imagining Albert Einstein. Perhaps you imagined a boring, nerdy guy with glasses that cover up half of his face, another common stereotype of a scientist. If asked to imagine a female scientist, a meek plain Jane is presented stereotypically. A beautiful, youthful woman is likely to be the last thing to come into most people’s minds. This
The author's overall point in the document was that women who participated in science were treated unequally amongst the majority of people in the community. The multiple pieces of evidence used described males discussing females misogynistically
Religion in the workplace can bring up some of the most difficult issues employers have to face. Resolving these issues requires understanding the law and balancing the business's needs with an employee's desire to practice his or her religion. One of the most contentious conflicts is between an employee's desire to take time off and the potential reduction in productivity and profitability. In ruling on Title VII religion cases, the courts have held that employers aren't required to accommodate employees' religious activities when it involves increased financial costs, transferring supervisory personnel or employees from other departments resulting in inefficiency, or discriminating against other employees or violating seniority systems. Accommodations that don't constitute undue hardship to the employer include voluntary substitutions or employee "swaps," flexible work schedules, floating or optional holidays, staggered work hours, and allowing employees to make up lost time. Transfers and job changes also are options if they don't cause reduced efficiency or
The researcher looked at boys and girls, self-concepts, perceptions of other boys, and girls ratings in science, math, and engineering students. Girls see themselves to other girls, and don’t see themselves as pursuing an education in science and technology Lee (1998). Girls and boys both agree that science students possess more masculine traits, “they perceive other science students as having more masculine traits” (Lee 1998:209). Girls top two choices in the science and technology fields are physician and biologist, and boys choose engineering. Girls prefer psychology over boys, and boys like mathematics over girls. Overall, girls express greater interest in nonscientific disciplines than boys (Lee 1998).
