"Four Way Test Essay" "Is it fair to all concerned?"
For years, women of all ethnic backgrounds have been treated unfair and as though their career interests and their achievements are not as important or as significant as those of their male counterparts. Little girls from all corners of the world grow up being told that they aren't as special as boys. This perpetuated stereotype must end; as a society, we can elevate girls, teaching them that they can, in fact, be just as successful as their male peers. Gender should never be a barrier between a little girl and her future and should be something that brings people together.
Little girls should be able to love who they are and be happy with their gender rather than wishing they were born a boy so that they would have more opportunities. These stereotypes need to be taken out of work force as well. Gender should not prevent a woman from becoming a successful physician. In the same vein, a man should be able to earn a nursing degree without feeling unsuccessful or "less than." As an advocate of gender equality, it is important to me that eve1y woman and girl across the globe has a voice and can use it in every circumstance. It is my goal that never again should a woman be pushed into a corner and silenced for speaking up about her beliefs and concerns as that is simply unfair. Along with this, I hope to help each woman see that she matters and has a purpose in this world.
In the world in which we live, it is not uncommon to see women being treated as less than their male counterparts. To be an advocate for gender equality,
I must first believe in the value of my dreams and listen to my own strong voice. In the future, I hope to inspire women and advocate for all those who have been treated as less important. I hope to encourage young girls to follow their dreams no matter what society tells them. Truthfully, anyone who claims not to see gender inequality has just as much of an anti-female mindset as those who can see it and refuse to act. Gender equality shouldn't be relegated to the sidelines; it needs to take its rightful place at the center of conversations. Malala Yousafzai, global activist for female education and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, once said, "I raise up my voice-not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard . We cannot all succeed when half of us is held back.." Those words inspire me to raise my voice, bringing it out of the dark comer and into the wide world.
