Response I believe there are few women in leadership positions because women underestimate their abilities. Women associate their success with external factors which makes them appear like they are not ready for high positions if they cannot get things done by themselves. In addition to women not having confidence in their abilities, the inherently sexist society is also keeping women away from leadership positions. Women are considered to be weak, yet leadership positions require tough people; that is why organizations go for men to occupy the top positions. Women are also considered to be weak for politics; that is why most people are not ready to elect women leaders. Then there is the issue of family responsibilities that hold women down. The society expects women to sacrifice their career and take care of families while men continue working. Due to the breaks women take to take care of their children, it becomes hard to catch up with others when it comes to promotion and rises. I agree with Sheryl Sandberg, and I believe that women are raised to have more…

Materialism Materialism is a concept associated with the possession of wealth. It is a belief that buying and having control of something provides extra happiness within an individual. Most Americans have the impression that material possession improves an individual’s life and also their social well-being. Contrarily, studies reveal that materialist encounters lower social and personal well-being. Materialism involves much spending, which on the side of life increases debt, creates a reduced way of saving, and a source of depression among individuals. Living in a robust confined economy alters an individual mind on wealth accumulation. As a result, a person finds himself trying to adapt to the high standard of living associated with materialism. This essay explains how the possession of wealth affects an individual’s perception. According to Howell (2014), many individuals get carried away with neighbors or close individuals’ ways of living. The high living standards demonstrated by close associates increase an individual’s morale of having the same lifestyle. As a result, one uses all the limited resources he/she has in trying to imitate neighbors’ way of living. Although the…

Studies show that males and females speak differently. The linguistic forms that males and females use are quite different – although to different extents – in various speech communities. Similarly, the linguistic behaviors of both males and females also differ. Males and females do not speak in similar ways as one another in all communities. In some societies, it is possible to find one language being spoken by both males and females; nevertheless, certain linguistic aspects occur only in females’ speech or in those by males. As such, it is right to say that there are linguistic differences that relate to both male and female genders; this is based on the politeness of the languages, vocabularies, use of expressions, grammar, use of standard or vulgar vernacular slangs, following rules of conversations, and much more. Most scholars argue that females tend to be more linguistically polite as compared to their male counterparts. For example, both males and females put a lot of stress on specific speech terms in their daily talks. Moreover, females tend to be less forceful. Even though this…
