Because women have suffered from the lack of education, wage employment, labor work, and the challenges of being a woman, such as voting it became an ethical issue. During the late 1700s and early 1800s, men were known to make money and women stay at home (Zeigler, A.,…

Leveling the Playing Field: Socioeconomic Status and Academic Achievement The fixed inequalities perpetuated by a student’s family socioeconomic status make it extremely hard for students to successfully achieve academically.

The first example, 15,000 years ago, the average…

Equality means treating everyone the same, and that everyone has the same opportunity to be the best they possibly can e.g. everyone gets education they need to get the career they want.

This can lead to a decrease of discrimination of others (treating a group of people or an…

Wollstonecraft, the English writer and passionate advocate of education and social equality for women, wrote her famous book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which argues for women’s equality in a society dominated by men.
