Hello there again, Gladys err Meg
here again!
The question that is being posed
this week is what do I already know about my topic without spending anytime
researching it. Well since I am writing about the new age feminism
movement and how technology is being used to progress social equality...and there
are many things I already know about that topic as it is close to home for
myself.
#1: Because technology is
something that can be use in privacy without the need for a lot of people to know
exactly what you are doing and/or where you are doing it - women in countries
who previously were extremely NOT progressive about woman in the work force
have recently been highly successful of starting online businesses and turning
themselves in to Founder & CEO of their own companies allowing them not
only the means but also unlimited resources to change their lives and
situations.
#2: There is a long standing
history of women taking a stand in many different manners that have lead us
today. Women have fought the battles of being allowed to vote, making a
fair wage, burring their bras, and etc. However, those events were always
really highly publicized by the media. The things that are not well
known, the starting blocks if you will, tell us that it was a woman that
requested the first divorce from an abusive husband, it was a woman who fought
her way in to medical school in the 1800's when she was never going to be
anything other than a nurse, and it was a woman who reformed the way Hollywood
handled labor laws in order to protect the children who didn't have a voice
that anyone would listen too of their own.
#3: With the current shift over
the past decade or so of woman in the workplace and more so in the upper
management level of the workplace, the shift in educational settings is
changing as well. Before in programs based on IT, Welding, Mechanical
Engineering and etc, that were always taken by mostly men, women are finding
their place there as well. We are seeing them excel, we are seeing them
preform at a higher level then the men in the same program and throughout their
career we are seeing them surpass the male workers to take over the management positions
and drive change all around them.
This is where I am starting - but
I am out of time this week - Till next time!
Meg
