Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Gender discrimination is the act of denying a job to someone solely on the basis of whether the person is a man or a woman. For example, a 25-year-old male was denied a job as a nanny because the family would only hire a female nanny. The glass ceiling is the level to which women may rise in an organization but beyond which they may not go. For example, even though a 40-year-old woman has worked her way up the corporate ladder in her organization, she has been skipped over numerous for a position above the one she currently occupies and only men have been selected. Pay equity can be defined as equal pay for equal work. For example, Jim and Kay are both civil engineers in the same organization, but Jim makes 100/hour while Kay makes 80/hour. Sexual harassment has no universal definition but it ranges from derogatory comments to unwanted sexual advances and threats to sexual assault. For example, after submitting a major project at work, your boss kisses you on the lips.
