As I have previously mentioned, I am interested in business and potentially opening my own store. If all does not go as planned with the store, I still want to have a influential position. I want to potentially be a CEO or CFO or something equally important to the company. However, it is not always easy for a woman to get these high-power jobs. They have faced adversity and not a lot of woman have held important board positions. There are many reasons for this; it could be sexism or it could just be that they are not as qualified. However, now more woman are going to college than men, but they still do not hold a substantial amount of the powerful positions, like CEO or COO.
Pew Research Center delves into what is holding woman back. Its url is .org, which gives it more credibility than a .com would receive because it was purchased by an organization. Since it a .org, it is mostly credible, but not as credible as .gov and .edu because the government and educational institute are very reliable.
Many individuals were in charge of this article. Kim Parker and Juliana Menasce Horowitz made the surveys and wrote the corresponding chapters. Wendy Wang wrote the chapter on female leadership. Each author was given a credential within the organization. Parker is the director of social trends research, Horowitz is the associate director of research, and Wang is a senior researcher.
The article provides the date of January 14, 2015, but it is unclear whether that was when it was published or when it was updated. Since it was published this year, it is unlikely it is majorly outdate, but there could be subtle changes in current data. The only links this website has are either to tweet quotes from the article or it is hyperlinked to other articles that the Pew Research Center published on their site.
The text is trying to educate the reader on what obstacles women face when trying to go for jobs and what specifically is holding them back. It is taking an impartial view that is backed up by statistics. The website article is giving impartial information about what people think are obstacles women face when trying to find high-powered jobs.
There are many graphics that give illustrates on the result of the surveys Pew Research conducted. They are very helpful for visually seeing what the writers are trying to express.
At the end of the article, the authors include how they conducted their survey. It also links a site that explains in further detail the method. However, it does not specifically say if they recognized authorities in their field.
Another website I looked at was CNN Money. This article also struggles to identify why women are not equally represented in influential positions. The url end in .com, so it is not the most credible, but CNN is known as a reputable source.
The author is Matt Egan. He is a staff writer on CNN Money's markets and investing team. The article was published March 24, 2015, and once again it is unclear if it was updated. It is also relatively up to date, but there could be some discrepancy between present facts. There are a few links that provide further information on the topic, and are still working.
The article attempts to explain why women are represented so poorly represented in the workforce. It is slightly biases toward women and the sexism that face in getting jobs. It only includes one graphic and one video that attempt to further explain his article's point and explain why women are not represented.
