Gender inequality in education is an issue that has a long term impact on everyone – students, parents, educators, and the public at large. It is an often contentious subject and, while found to exist by study after study, is often denied or disregarded by the individuals most directly affected by it.

1. Disability- Upon analysis of the term disability, Tod Browning’s film “Freaks” immediately comes to mind as it portrays the stark reality of how people with disabilities were viewed within the American society at the time. “Freaks” was critical in the early 1900’s, because the general public perceived this group of people as inferior humans with inhumane qualities. This film was pivotal in humanizing people with disabilities, and teaching the public the classic lesson that judging a book by…

Introduction: Gender equality refers to the state of no discrimination amongst the genders in terms of status, dignity and power. ‘Treating equal’ or ‘reducing the gender gap’ can be used as alternative terms.

This suggests that Americans see highly disparate outcomes and make inferences about the availability of opportunity. In the following sections, I detail how this connection is…
