GENDER JUSTICE, SEXISM, GENDER STEREOTYPES, RACIAL AND ETHNIC PREJUDICE


The term gender justice is a very common topic in the current world. Having a good understanding of gender equality, gender stereotypes will help to minimize sexism and it will reduce racial and ethnic prejudice. Sexism will cause more complex problems within society and it will affect moral values and principles. Therefore having thorough knowledge regarding these concepts will help to minimize those impacts.

Gender Justice

Gender justice is a human right. Every human being has a right to live with dignity without any fear and freedom. Gender justice plays a major role in the development, eradication of poverty, etc. Gender justice is crucial to achieving human progress. It will determine the future of mankind. 

Gender equality

Gender equality is also known as sexual equality. Which means the equality of the sexes. It is equal access to resources and opportunities regardless of gender. Equal participation in the decision-making and being able to execute these decisions regardless of gender are some key features of gender equality.

Sexism

Sexism is a belief stating that one gender is superior to the other gender, one gender is more valuable than the other gender. It controls what men and women should do. It imposes limits on actions based on gender. Sexism is discrimination based on one’s gender.

Gender stereotypes

According to the European Institute for Gender Equality, gender stereotypes means “Preconceived ideas whereby females and males are arbitrarily assigned characteristics and roles determined and limited by their gender”.  Gender stereotypes limit the abilities, natural talents, skills, and capabilities that reside within boys and girls. It will also limit the opportunities and experiences they can have. Several factors can influence gender stereotypes. The main factor is the family and society. The environment where the child is raised determines his attitude towards gender stereotypes. Gender stereotypes impact how they interact with their peers and how they develop relationships between their peers.

Reducing racial and ethnic prejudice 

We need to produce principles and guidelines to reduce racial and ethnic prejudice. We need to raise public awareness regarding racial and ethnic prejudice. Increasing more contacts with social groups and building new relationships between these social groups will help to minimize this factor. We need to make aware people of the inconsistencies in their own beliefs. By exposing people to a more positive image of other racial groups will minimize racial prejudice. To reduce this matter, we need to consider the children. By helping kids to develop cross-group relationships helps in this matter.

SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION  The scientific explanation is an explanation given to something based on the principles of science. There are mainly three parts to the scientific explanation. The first one is the claim, which means the explanation. The second component is the evidence, or we can say it as the observation. The last part is rationality. This is the reasoning. Reasoning explains the evidence and why it supports the claim. The primary objective of a scientific explanation is to show that the facts or data that can be deduced from the general theory. To become a good scientific explanation all our data needs to be correct and the explanation needs to be true.   Explanations vs confirmations Confirmation involves proving reasons related to certain claims in believing that is true.

Scientific explanations should match the evidence and be logical, or they should at least match as much of the evidence as possible. Two key concepts in scientific explanations are theory and hypothesis. A theory is used to make predictions about future observations. A hypothesis is a testable prediction that is arrived at logically from a theory. Probabilistic Explanation The probabilistic explanation is a form of reasoning that considers either the likeliness of an event happening or the strength of one's belief about an event or statement; that is, the probability may be about things or it may be about our degree of belief about things. Probability theory has from its conception been utilized to represent this uncertainty in scientific knowledge. Explanations are often probabilistic or statistical in nature....
