achievement between various groups of students white students and minorities. For instance, higher/lower income students, boys/girls and public/private schools. These achievement gaps can be measures by, test scores, GPA (Great Average Point), graduation and enrollment rate. This research will elaborate the meaning of achievement gap between genders. Males/females, boys/girls output will be measured and analyzed. Historically, two key theories were presented to show difference of gender attainment
Throughout the history of the world, discrimination in all forms has been a constant battle. The issues of different race, gender, religion, beliefs, appearance, or anything else that makes one person different from another, it is to this day an ongoing controversy. One significant discrimination problem takes place in the work place. Even though, women social status has greatly improved, we still see inequality within the workforce.

three seconds go by and women are already underneath the average male. Over several decades, females made significant strides to be seen as equals in comparison to men. From voting rights to job opportunities, women continue to break barriers between gender inequalities. The pay gap is a current controversial topic in which females hope to earn the same salaries as their male counterparts if they do not do so already. Whether this gap exists or not is debatable and differs depending on the background
Nature’s influence on gender What influences a person’s gender is a topic that elicits much debate as some may argue that gender is inborn while others may say that it depends on the environment. In the documentary titled sex unknown the writer tries to explain the natural effect on human gender as well as social effects using a case of a boy brought up as a girl (Lyman 2001). This shows that there might require more research in order to distinguish totally what influences human gender. The actual factor
results supported prior study results by proving gender differences in self-esteem, it also contradicted prior study results by proving a significant difference in the scores between positively worded and negatively worded items in the Rosenberg Self Esteem scale. There are certain limitations to this study which can be improved upon. For example, the sample is restricted to students in PL2131 where the mean age of the students is 20.3 (SD=1.37) and the gender ratio is not equal with 56 males and 166 females
(I) Understanding Gender in brief What is Gender? Generally we define gender into two types’ i.e. male and females. We classify this either on the basis of biological factor or by looking at the appearance of a person whether they are male or female.

different for the person that does this experiment. Overall I think this experiment was fully successful and I got to learn a lot about the difference between male and female lung capacity. I learned that females have a larger lung capacity than males. The female average was around 50.6 and for the males, the average was around 47.8. There is no major difference but this proves so much about females having larger lung capacity. Some possible sources or errors in this experiment may have been: The participants-
Why worry about gender inequality in pensions? Economic independence It is empirically known that women usually have lower pensions than men. To understand this we must understand that pensions are “the old age sequel of the earning gap”, and play an important role for economic independence of women. It is assumed that pensions are made to ensure the same standard of living in old age, otherwise the pension system would be failing. However, women fear for their economic independence when they reach
persistent and universal problem occurring in every culture and social group in Zimbabwe. This social menace often reflects and reinforces the differences between males and females. Often in its execution the male sex tends to benefit more than the females. In the African setting violent behaviour of males towards females is a norm this being a clear indication of gender based violence. If not monitored or reduced the effects could be drastic. Not only does it affect individuals but also communities as the
