According to Merriam Webster, Sexism is unfair treatment of people because of their sex, especially.

Sexism could also be called “Gender Discrimination”

Much of the discrimination comes from stereotypes.

Characteristhics

Sexism has come since the begining of times, when men saw that woman could not work in farms or agriculture they were discriminated and men thought that they were inferior to them.

History I

In ancient times people discriminated lonely woman and said they were witches. But there were no men witch. Only women because they looked strange to the other people.

History II

A stereotype is a way of thinking of how a woman or man behave.

This could be included Gender Roles in the society. Like washing dishes or picking garbage.

Women roles are almost always designated.

Gender Stereotypes

In Guatemala there is education “Non-Sexist” and “Non-Racist”.

This has started in schools because since kids this education has to be taught.

In schools boy and girls calle each other “dumb”, “ugly” this should change because in future this could affect Guatemala.

It sometimes starts with adults outside the school.

Sexism in Guatemala

This happens when girls come from departmens of Guatemala and the others judge them just because of their clothing, language and culture which is not right.

This sometimes affects the Wage Gap that women employees have. They win less than male employees for just being female.

Sexism in Guatemala

Reflection made by every member of the group.

Reflection

My point of view is that sexism is not in Guatemala that strong. It happens sometimes but in other places is worse. Like in India women are very limited and have a lot of children.

José Carlos De la Rosa

It has damaged the society, it happens more in the woman because it is discriminated in work and house. It all starts in the house and the change starts in us. We have to teach our children to respect and that a woman can do what a man can do. You can not change society in minutes. So thats why you start in the home.

Jimena Corzo

In society is not good that women are discriminated because they can do a lot of things and can do things certain men can’t do like organizing and more etc etc.

Juan Pablo Borrayo

Society has made us like this, now is less than before. Women have a less important role in society than men. But women are capable to develop in every aspect that there is.

Lesly Urbina

Sexism is bad because if our society wants to progress we have to notice that discriminating someone just for their gender is bad. Everyone knows how to progress and women are capable of great things in life.
