Introduction
In modern Australian society, regard of the race, gender, sexuality, and social class, there have been many benefit, discrimination, and advantages in one way or another. Gender inequality has been slow to improve, and unconscious gender biases continuously impact on individuals life. This issue illustrates a variety of concerns from health to equal opportunities in terms of employment and wages. Unemployment rate has increased, and "For young people, employment opportunities have been particularly limited including entry level positions"(Brrows 2013, p386). Moreover, our current cultural expectations, legislative system, and social programming work to sustain a hierarchy that constantly places men on the top. Consequently, men …show more content…
In general, men would argue that there is not problem with gender discrimination because they have not personally experienced sexism or because they have never seen it happen. Indeed, noticing gender discrimination is different than knowing the sighs to look out for.For example, “In 2014, one in two (49 per cent) mothers reported experiencing discrimination in the workplace at some point during pregnancy, parental leave or on return to work, and one in five (18 per cent) mothers indicated that they were made redundant, restructured, dismissed, or that their contract was not renewed because of their pregnancy, when they requested or took parental leave, or when they returned to work”(AHRC 2014). This is how women have been treated in the workplace, and the fact that some men don’t fully understand what sexism is relate to social privilege, which they have as male. As being a member of dominant group, they naturally receive benefits in society. Everyone who belongs to a socially dominant group has some level of privilege. Whereas, "The difficulty is not that women have created the workplace, but that they have done so one male term.

How they are supposed to behave as men and women in their school, country, and workplace, and we behave the way that has been accepted to do. Many parents have gender biases to judge female teacher as weak or irresponsible even thought she works as hard as other male teachers. When it comes to teaching rate, "an examination of gender bias in student rating of teaching must be framed within the broader context of the pervasive devaluation of women, relative to men, that occur in professional setting in the United States (MacNell 2014, p293)." Moreover, "gender then contributes to a hierarchal system of power relations that is embedded within interactional and institutional level of society and shapes gendered expectations and experiences in the workplace."(MacNell 2014,p293). Therefore, gender biases has been used to rate people and affects them in many forms in particular occupations. Especially in school, "students often expect their male and female professors to behave in different ways"(MacNell 2014,p294). At some point, students and their parents look down female instructors or do not respect as much as they do to male instructors. Gender bias can sometimes be hard to spot in the workplace and in some instances, even harder to purge, but it is a form of prejudice and discrimination and it has no place in
