Abstract

This paper investigates gender discriminations in schools, families and workplaces. The main conclusion can be drawn is that female is received discrimination to some extent, which is a serious problem. The aim of this research is to review the recent progress of gender discriminations and remind people that the existence of gender bias will influence female's rights and interests, and then lead to social injustice. In the family, the conventional concept is that females are less capable than males. Hence, males play a more important roles in the family issues that will have a disadvantageous impact on females. To solve this issue, female need to learn to defend their equities through legal means and related committees. In addition, the findings about gender discriminations in the workplace are mainly due to females' special physiological processes, such as the inconvenience brought to the company by giving birth to children. It also makes companies more likely to choose male employees. In school, boys get more attentions and education from teachers, so that girls receive an inequitable education at school. The purpose of this review paper is to raise people's awareness of the importance of correcting gender discrimination. If there is a law which can restrain gender discrimination, then the atmosphere of gender discriminations will be weaker and weaker until it disappears. It makes a lot of sense to help females recognize the existence of gender discriminations and learn how to solve it.
