We have been talking about legal issues in class and we cover major EEO Laws and Regulations. I was thinking in one these laws and how it was before and now. The law of Equal Pay Act of 1963 which requires that men and women should receive equal pay if they are performing the same job.
It is interesting to know how back in the 1960’s the men were the ones who had to maintain the family and therefore they needed to get paid more. Now, in today’s society this mentality of men being the bread winner has change. Women are more independent, they get higher education, and many of them are not raising a family yet, and have a good job. On the other hand, there are some men who now they are the ones taking care of the family while the mothers are the bread winners.
This legal act protects both men and women. They both ca have the same capacity, education, and experience to perform any job. It is interesting to know how the mentality before was that men are better, they are stronger, well they are men, but now we can see that women are like me, better, stronger in their own characteristics.
