Paola Gordillo: DB8

At this point in our lives we already know that no matter what, in this society people will always see some more superior than others. In the United States there is a lot of discrimination between race and gender. One of the things that I have gained more knowledge of is that women are still getting paid much less than man. It really doesn’t matter if they’re both doing the same job, just by being a women they’re getting paid less which is something I find very unfair. Something that really surprised me is that there is a difference of salary based on your race. When I read this weeks material I was able to see all the statistics shown and I just couldn’t believe it. I don’t understand why there has to be a problem based on your race, we are all women and no matter how we look or where we are from we can all do the same job.

As a women I feel like this problem should be fixed. I don’t think women deserve to get paid less based on their gender, race, or even disability. Sometimes women work even harder than men because they have kids who depend on them but also because they know their pay is less so they have to work for longer periods of time to earn just a little more. Women deserve to have an equal pay, there shouldn’t be any gap between gender and race.
