Answer to Question 1
The basic idea of comparable worth is that people whose jobs make equivalent demands on them and that call for similar skills, education, or responsibility should receive roughly similar pay; in other words, equal pay for comparable worth. Comparable worth has been a highly controversial development, with opponents arguing that it is impossible to really compare the worth of different jobs and that the free market should determine what people are paid. These opponents argue that, if women are dissatisfied with the low pay in some jobs, they should compete for the higher-paying jobs. Some even suggest that such interference with market mechanisms would disrupt the whole economic system.
Answer to Question 2
Nationally, the attitudes of people in the United States toward homosexuality have tended toward the negative. Although the media seem to devote more attention to and present more positive images of gays and lesbians today than in the past, the public still harbors some fairly negative views. Almost 40 percent of the public believe that homosexuality should not be considered an acceptable lifestyle. Generally, men, older people, religious people, and those with lower educations and incomes are more likely to be intolerant of homosexuality. Negative sentiment toward gays is also greater among those with traditional social values.
