nice arguement

What a fascinating topic Chloe. I never really considered the wage gap in the medical felid, let alone the reason for it. With both men and women getting the same amount of education and experience in med school, it seems absolutely crazy that theres a $20,000 gap. It was interesting to see the connection between lower paying professions within medicine were the same professions that women mostly go into. I wonder, are there any women in medicine fighting for same pay?

I agree with you that women should be paid equal to men, not only in the medical field but in any sort of work place. Women are capable of doing the exact thing as men in todays time and age. I find it interesting how women are paid more in the field of radiology compared to men but paid less in other fields. After all of the excruciating work and time spent going through medical school they should earn the same wages as their male counterparts.

Chloe,
Your post is really informative about the inequality in the workplace. Women are severely mistreated and it just shouldn’t be that way. I don’t even get why this is a thing, women can do every single thing a guy can, perhaps even better at some things. but thats depending on the person not a whole gender. It’s ridiculous that people see women as inferior in the workplace especially in the medical field. I hope that with time, this changes and everything becomes more equal.

Hi chloe! I found this post very interesting. This is something I have never really considered, but I agree that history tends to be a subject that is not as widely considered for a career path as other subjects may be. Although, I did find a link, “History is not a useless major, Fighting Myths with Data” , that discusses a similar topic to you: that history is being lost as our youth doesn’t see it as a practical subject to major in, but this article also writes about how history majors are possible and there are still many jobs out there for them, we just need more people to know about it. I think that could relate to what you said about the way students are being taught. I thought this was really great post that was very informative.

Hi Chloe –
I really like this topic because it is so weird to think about. In contrast to earlier generations, we really are so reliant on online communication for day-to-day interaction. We all use it to some extent, and it’s become such a phenomenon that even those who were born in an age without computers are beginning to rely on them for communication. Cell phones, even, have become a medium for mobile social media. I can definitely think of more occasions on which I have personally used social media on my phone than have made a phone call, the very purpose for which the cell phone was originally made. One recommendation I have for this piece is when you say ” the number of adults over the age of 50 has doubled in the past year”, I think you mean the number of adults using social media. I got a bit confused when I read that as “more than half of the current 50+ population was 49 last year”. I’m just scraping the bucket, though. Here’s another really interesting article about social media and its relevancy: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/22/facebook-princeton-researchers-infectious-disease. I found this article particularly interesting because it seems like social media today is at a golden age, and yet Facebook, the pioneer of this revolution, might actually be the worse for it.
This was a great topic!

I found this article very interesting due to its truth. Those who do not stay up to date with current events on social media are definitely more out of the loop. And this could be bad as those who are at a loss may feel awkward or like they are not in the right group and that could be bad for friends. A group of friends might change if some of the people have a different view of something that is going on in social media today or even if they just do not have an opinion. Overall I really enjoyed this.

Chloe, I thought it was very interesting how much truth is in this article. I, on daily basis, find myself talking in what would be short hand. I also liked the fact that you used both sides of the argument, that made your article much more reliable and credible. I do think that the fact that we talk in short hand could be bad because some people don’t understand that there is a time and a place.

Interesting post, Chloe! I really enjoyed how you also looked at the advantages of social media because most people solely focus on the negatives. Based on your post I think you would enjoy this article (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/negative-effects-social-media/) that I’ve recently read. I look forward to reading your future posts!

I found this topic interesting because I have lived in Utah my whole life. You can most definitely tell that most people in Utah have very similar beliefs, whether it is because of religion or not. It would be interesting to see the small sectors in Utah that are red or blue. I also liked how you talked about having different opinions helps us grow intellectually and in our own mind sets.
