Even though Men and Woman constantly work and compete in this society for recognition and rewards. Nowadays Woman is given equal opportunities in every profession from Business to Defense. But there is an historical saying that Men are stronger and smatter than Woman, Which is true to some extinct but when we compare today’s world we say that its totally disagreeable statement. In every profession woman are showing there talent and hard work and making others praise them. Women are hard working with smart implementation of ideas, making them a way to success.
Women are finding successful women and influential women as there role models Today I can see that Customer Service and Other Office oriented jobs are mainly dominated by woman, in which aggression levels are not accepted, where as Engineering and Construction oriented jobs are dominated by Man. By this we can understand that Men are more aggressive than Woman. Governments all around the world actively encouraged woman to take part in country development expect some Gulf countries where woman are only allowed to work in offices but not in other sectors.
I can support through my study that Woman are excelling now a days in every profession, they are leading countries and business, Recently Germany elected its first woman president and companies like Pepsi Co. and other Fortune 500 are managed by Woman CEO’s. Women are working as brand ambassadors for many International brands like Cannon, Sony etc... (Internet Media) During my Research I found that still in some parts of the world women are criticized and not able to perform, the recent assassination of former and the first women president of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, which shocked the entire world (New York Times, 2008).
Many influential women around the world are assassinated for dominating men. Although many western countries Already started respecting women in every action they perform. Women are found with caring and intelligent, many of the women are working for there development of the society. I state some of the most influential women in this century are Oprah, Hillary, Mother Theresa, Benazir Bhutto, Indira Ghandi, Angelina Jolie, and many others. Literature Review Success of women is found in every part of the world and it is rapidly changing.
This advancement has made the women to participate the economics of the country. The Scope of this Research is to discuss and survey the factors that are laid for the success of women in which I studied various topics on women development which are explained below. I explained the various stages of women development during last century. In current situations women are given equal opportunities with men. A Woman has found a way to success and they are moving forward. I made Surveys, Interviews, Observations and Research to include in this project, which claims the result.
There are some factors which prove the fact of Women Success and ideas were represented that women can work as equal to men. During my study I found the most important social changes for woman success are identified as: Gender Equality around the world makes a clear description of the women development. Resource Availability to women worker to prove them in the society, Schemes launched by Governments to Women empowerment and the Advertising Media interference to the issue like rating top influential women in the world bought some radical changes in the society.
A Women is getting constant inspiration from other Successful women, this is working like the chain reaction. There are different things that can be performed by women and be successful as a man. In Management to Work, Women have very low aggression levels when compared to man, which helps them to be, stress free all the time. Women have an advantage of patience listening and problem solving, which is the sure success formula for there success. Women are intelligent thinkers and solvers who can solve difficult problems and puzzles.
The main added advantage of women is concentration towards work; There Concentration levels are very high when compared to men. Even women now a days developed different techniques to overcome stress at work, which can make them work for longer hours in working environment. Women are different with men in many ways, as per knowledge, thinking and decision making. According to Potter, Dan, Psychologist for Women Workers said during a Television Interview “Women are stronger mind workers than men, they implement ideas according with the best decision making skills.
The Women aggression levels are very low when compared to men. ” He also said that drawback fact with women workers is “Men with children appear to get an earnings boost, whereas women lose earnings. Men with children earn about 2% more on average than men without children. ” – Dan Potter (2007 Women Workers Consultant) When I Studied the “Women at Work” Book by William Crow I found that in Globalizing world Men and Women are given equal gender rights. The writer explained the Success of women at work as “Is gender a casualty or a badge of honor that one uses to one’s advantage in life?
Awards are given lauding women as a species for their achievements, success and victories in their careers. Women SFE spoke with, without exception, said that being a woman at a job never struck them as an oddity. Neither did they let it bother their colleagues. “At the end of the day, you have to deliver. There are no concessions on that front by being a woman or a man. ” Even in His writing its clearly understanding that women are in every field, Profession which they are finding the way to success. He also stated in his book that Women are rapidly changing to the situations and modulation has been the best part of doing this.
When I read the book, I found that his writings are towards to Women and Work Equilibrium and Women Status in the society, more over all his words are inspirational for women to explore new heights. (Women at work by William Crow, 2004) My Interviews with my Classmates and friends on Success of Women: When I asked my Classmates about Women’s success in the society? They answered me a positive note that women in all areas of operations in the society were successors.
When I asked them about the Wage Rate discrimination between men and women? 82% of my friend’s opinion told me that was totally illegal rule, where as 18% of friends told me that women cannot work in stressful locations at work. I asked my friends that Do you support Women Working in Defense? 100% of my friends told me yes, women can perform in any form of activity. Do you think women in western countries are safe? The result was 92% told me yes, and where as only 8% told me that woman is not safe anywhere in this world, No Country is immune. When I asked my friends that Do you think United Stated has equal gender rights? 100% told yes, United States has equal gender rights and Oppurtunities.
When I did an Internet Research on Recognition of Women in the society Women all around the globe are respected and treated as important source of development and existence of human mankind. International Women’s Day (IWD) is observed on March 8th – Which is celebrated Across the globe. It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women. The first IWD was observed on Feb 29th, 1909 in the United States. Many women marked there positions as the most influential persons in the world, Such as Mother Teresa who was given Woman of the Century for her service.
Women proved in every area such as Polictics, Business, Adminstration, Law, Engineering etc… Women ruled nations, managed companies taking potential decesions, worked in Space and every deal as the list goes on. Countries like Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka are once ruled by princess and these countries give a lot of importance to woman. Woman in these countries serve in most influential positions in the Government. Many countries have elected women as Presidents, United States in yet to elect a Lady President. Time Magzine also reported the top most influetial woman on the planet, which is the highest recognition in the society.
Women are given Nobel Lauratee for there excellence in the field of specialisation. – (Success of Women Recognition, 2006) According to Vicki Donlan, author of Her Turn and founder of Women's Business describes why it's time for women to continue to step into leadership roles in America, the steps we can take to make this happen and the benefits for women AND men when more women lead. She said women are capable of leading a country like United States without any obstacles, She also stated that women all around the world are intelligent and courage’s for their development.
Indra Nooyi, CEO of Pepsi Co.: Indra was named the #1 Most Powerful Women in Business in 2006 by Fortune Magazine. As President and Chief Executive Officer of PepsiCo, she is the highest ranking Woman in corporate America. She's helped engineer over $30 billion worth of deals in the past few years and is taking on the challenge of some fierce competition: a newly Energized Coca-Cola campaign. She was every confident with her work and decisions she take for the one of the latest business which operates in 190 countries. She always says that every woman can do anything in life, they are equal with men. (Women Business by Vicki Donlan)
According to Michelle Crain, Director of Call center, Inc. and one of the most influential women in the business, she started that women are best in business and she said about the Women Educational Development as “A number of occupations became "professionalized" through the 19th and 20th centuries, gaining regulatory bodies, and passing laws or regulations requiring particular higher educational requirements. As women's access to higher education was often limited, this effectively restricted women's participation in these professionalizing occupations.
For instance, women were completely forbidden access to Cambridge University until 1868, and were encumbered with a variety of restrictions until 1987 when the University adopted an equal opportunity policy. ” (Article on Women in Business, Michelle Crain, 2005) I also observed during my Internet Research I found that women are leading the way in many countries, but in some countries they are lagging behind men. The inspiration of other women makes them to move forward and achieve new heights.
For example in United States more than 65% of the women work and 12% are running business in the same way if we take Kenya only 14% of the women work, mainly devoted to Agriculture field. The Women in Countries like China, India and Other Asian Countries are developing and there is an increasing statistics of working women. Governments are taking initiatives for Women Development in these countries by launching schemes for working women. The United States Employment Law is totally in favor of women by providing same wage rates, flexible working hours and Maternity leaves.
It is observed in United States that the women as better Credit Score than men. This shows that Women are constantly developing in the society. (United States Women Economics, 2006) The inspiration and Government actions women are excelling and there is lot more to do. The Women in Countries like United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Other European Countries are fully development and in transition phase. But the Countries like India, China, Pakistan and Other Asian Countries they still developing; Governments are taking active role in Women Development and Empowerment.
UN interference is also making them to work on this issue. Reports and Surveys say that Women in North Korea, Kenya and other African Countries are still facing lot of problems, and there is no aid to rescue them. (UN Women Development Council, 2006 Report on Development of Women). Observation with News Papers and Media the Women in Developed and Developing Countries are facing sexual harassments at work environment. Governments and Companies passed strict rules against the sexual harassment on women, but the strategy didn’t change.
The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2004 shows that there are more than 1500 women killed in United States for Sexual Harassments. In India the working women are sexually harassed and killed, recently three cases are recorded in International companies like HP and Wipro, where Call Center Associates were sexually harassed and killed by the Drivers appointed by the companies, this made companies to take initiative in launching GPRS to the cars that are used to pick and drop women employees. The jurisdictions around the world are fully loaded with sexual harassments cases, which are yet to justify.
When I made a survey with other women on Streets about the Security on Women the Woman told that the women should develop there own security system to protect against men, by waging fight for human rights. Many activists have already started these types of fights to improve the women rights in the society. Many Women Claim that these types of sexual harassments make women mentally bind to there homes and are not able to work in the environment. Majority of the women said that we are also part of the society and should be respected and treated well is the basic point that should be noted by men.
Observation with Internet Sources on Women in Business I found that Women are leading many International companies with motivation and high decision making skills, Men and Women equally contribute to the development of the economy. Both are now money maker and creators. UN has taken a step forward to help the women in Business by launching a Development center for Women Development, which focuses on women in Business sectors. Training programs are given to women who are interested in starting there own business. In my Internet Research on Women in Business I found that Fortune 500 Companies are managed and operated by many women.
For example: Indra Nooyi. The present CEO of Pepsi Co. and another example: The founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics created a business that has helped some half a million women fulfills their dreams of business ownership. A best-selling author and powerful motivational speaker, Lifetime Television named her the Most Outstanding Woman in Business in the 20th Century. Debbi Fields is one of the greatest Women Entrepreneur she at age of 20, Debbi Fields was a housewife with no business experience, but a great chocolate chip cookie recipe and a dream. Today, Mrs.
Fields Cookies is one of the world's most recognizable dessert franchises, with over 600 stores in the U. S. and ten other countries. (Magazine Capital Chicks, 2007) Observation with Internet Source on the Women in Scientific Inventions, where I found that Women also spread there activity in Scientific Inventions by inventing many prominent inventions in the world! During my Internet Research I found that Cancer is one of the most killing diseases on the world, Dr. Marie Curie is known to the world as the scientist who discovered radioactive metals i. e.
Radium & Polonium Marie Curie contributed greatly to our understanding of radioactivity and the effects of x-rays. She received two Nobel prizes for her brilliant work, but died of leukemia, caused by her repeated exposure to radioactive material. Mary Dixon Kies in 1809 received the first U. S. patent issued to a woman. Kies, a Connecticut native, invented a process for weaving straw with silk or thread. First Lady Dolley Madison praised her for boosting the nation’s hat industry. Unfortunately, the patent file was destroyed in the great Patent Office fire in 1836.
She is generally regarded as the mother of inventions. Many other women for there excellence in Inventions were awarded Nobel Laureates, in every filed that Nobel is awarded Women had there positions. (Inventions of Women – Sweden, 2005) My Observation on Successful women in Space and Defense Sector through Internet Sources, where I found that Space Administration is most difficult way to exploring the universe, Women has made everything possible there are more than 50 women still date that traveled in space exploring new inventions and discoveries.
Tereshkova is a Russian Engineer who was entitled to be the first women in Space; she was in space for 2. 95 days. NASA has more than 2500 women engineers and technicians working on different space missions. Many explorations which include The recent Mars exploration which was engineered by women, marking there name on top. Many women even died in failures of missions leaving an inspiration note to other women, When studying Successful women in various Internet and Extranet sources I found that Now a days the Women Applications at NASA centers and other Defense Research Centers are increasing, which shows a sign of interest and motivation. There are women Pilots, Engineers, Technicians and other working staff in every country Defense Research and implementation. Many women are leading armies and the defense related issues. (Women in Space, NASA 2008) According to John Simpson, Researcher on Women Success and Analyst; He said women now a days has changed rapidly with development has a main objective, they are competing with men in all phases of life.
“Women as a service of Love and determination” says John Simpson. He also explained in his writing that there is only one problem according to me that women are facing in the Work Environment. That is Wage Gap between Men and Women. My Observation on Wage Gap between Women and Men through Internet Sources; The workplace pay gap between men and women, once thought to be narrowing, has only been getting worse, according to my analysis of recently released census data conducted by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.
Women make only 75. 5 cents for every dollar that men earn, according to a new release by the U. S. Census Bureau. Between 2002 and 2003, median annual earnings for full-time year-round women workers shrank by 0. 6 percent, to $30,724, while men’s earnings remained unchanged, at $40,668. The 1. 4 percent decrease in the gender wage ratio is the largest backslide in 12 years (since 1991). The 2003 Census data also show the first decline in women’s real earnings since 1995. According to Heidi Hartmann, President of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. “No progress on the wage ratio has been made since 2001, and women actually lost ground this year.
