Globalization and Women


A long time ago in the American society girls were used to work in kitchens, cook food, have babies, and take care of the kids. So many things have changed since then  women are getting higher ranked jobs, going to college, and maybe even your CEO. Why is it so bad to have a women boss? Why hasn’t there been a women president?  Globalization has changed much of how our world reacts to women, but my hopes are slowly but surely our world will finally see men and women equal.  Why do girls always get the short end of the stick?

I believe that our world is so used to hearing people say girls are weak and useless, that people eventually take it that way. Little girls grow up thinking that their mom is their hero, and that girls are strong, and just as good as boys. But our world puts it in their minds that girls are not good enough or better than any male running the race or playing the sport.  

I believe that globalization affects different women in different ways. But I do believe that it has affected women by human trafficking and sex trafficking.  Human trafficking is the fastest growing crisis that our world faces today. There are approximately 600,000-800,000 slaves trafficked every year and more than 70% of them are women and children.  But by recognizing these problems, people are trying to figure out how to stop this horrible epidemic problems and I believe that is a positive step for women.

Women are finally getting there chance to make more money and be a bigger part in today’s society. I do believe that the steps that globalization and women take together are going to get bigger and bigger as times goes on. But men still are making just as much money as they always did. So I don’t believe equality is equal quite yet.
