Project Reflection Paper - Leadership and Power

Project Reflection Paper

Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex (Oxford Dictionaries). One of the main forms of discrimination that will be discussed is discrimination against women in all forms from the color of their skin to education and the workforce systems. The workforce is one of the main places where most women are being discriminated. This is because men feel as though women do not deserve to work outside the home and cannot handle a man’s job as they would say depending on the career field chosen.

Women culture is based on the amount of freedom she has. It’s very hard to teach equality in society when you have people who were raise a certain way especially with the stigma that men are superior and women are inferior. There are organizations that are trying to stop gender inequality in the world. The problem is that we don’t have enough support from every country in the world. When trying to change how people think of themselves and others, you have to target a certain group. I believe that targeting younger people can make the world a better place. This is because the older individuals get the more knowledge they acquire in which they can prevent issues that society is receiving and finding resources and ways that they can secure the future of others for a better place to live and work without being discriminated. Therefore, with everything mentioned thus far I have chosen Leadership and Power as the topic for discussion with the focus for adolescent girls. I have conducted a trivia game as well to better understand the idea of why leadership and power is an important topic and the information that you will obtain as well.

Topic

Leadership and Power is a topic that should be taught amongst both boys and girls. There are many women who were leaders and who are leaders. Unfortunately our society has kept important women who has made a difference a secret and only have a few women to be known. I believe that society does this to make the statement that women are not meant to be leaders which makes it hard for past and future generations to know and understand that women can be leaders no matter what the color of their skin exhibits or their gender type. Society tries to prevent information that is relevant and that can help our society understand. The reason why
