QUESTION 1

Read and summarize written text in your words.

In many countries, there is a gender income gap which favors males in the labor market. For example, the median full-time salary for U.S. women is 77% of that of U.S. men. Several factors other than discrimination may contribute to this gap. On average, women are more likely than men to consider factors other than pay when looking for work, and may be less willing to travel or relocate. Thomas Sowell, in his book Knowledge and Decisions, claims that this difference is due to women not taking jobs due to marriage or pregnancy, but income studies show that that does not explain the entire difference. A U.S. Census’s report stated that in US once other factors are accounted for there is still a difference in earnings between women and men. The income gap in other countries ranges from 53% in Botswana to 40% in Bahrain.

Gender inequality and discrimination is argued to cause and perpetuate poverty and vulnerability in society as a whole. Gender Equity Indices seek to provide the tools to demonstrate this feature of equity.

19th century socialists like Robert Owen, William Thompson, Anna Wheeler and August Bebel argued that the economic inequality between genders was the leading cause of economic inequality; however Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels believed that the inequality between social classes was the larger cause of inequality.

Income inequality between women and men is often attributed to factors such as the women preferences for shorter commute or not working after marriage or pregnancy and remains high in most of the world and is thought to be the major reason for economic equality in the society though some researchers argue against it.

QUESTION 2

Read and summarize written text in your words.

The time from when a patient enters the ER with symptoms of a heart attack to when the patient is in the cardiac catheterization lab and a “balloon” has been inflated in the blocked artery to open it and restore blood flow. The standard is 90 minutes or less; this year, United Regional’s is significantly better, at 59 minutes!

At United Regional Emergency Department, a well-coordinated process helps us move the patient quickly from the assessment to treatment phase in the cardiac catherization lab where angioplasty – a procedure where a balloon is used to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow – is performed.

The national benchmarking standard for getting a patient from the emergency room door to the cardiac catherization lab is 90 minutes. United Regional does much better than the national standard because of our advanced technology, highly trained staff and time saving protocols.  In 2013, our heart patients moved from our Emergency Department to the cardiac catheterization lab in an average of 62 minutes.

    Income inequality between men and women because women may be less willing to relocate or travel, not ready to take the job due to marriage or pregnancy but other hand argued that it causes economic inequality

    Other than discrimination many factors might have contributed for gender income gap in many countries and it was also believed that the inequality between social classes was the larger cause of inequality.
