Sexism is unfair treatment or discrimination against people based on their sex or gender. It often stems from harmful gender stereotypes that see women as inferior. Throughout history, women have faced discrimination and been seen as witches or less capable. While sexism exists in many societies, the document notes it can be particularly problematic in Guatemala where women face wage gaps and judgment based on their appearance or culture. Several contributors reflect that sexism damages society by limiting women's opportunities and that change needs to start at home by teaching children respect regardless of gender.

Sexism is portrayed in various media sources such as TV shows, movies, advertisements and books. A survey of 23 people found that most had witnessed sexism towards women, including portrayals of women as inferior or belonging in the kitchen. However, opinions varied on whether sexism is a major problem, with about half believing it is a problem and half not seeing it as a big deal. While some media sources portray women in sexual or subservient roles, the impact of these portrayals is unclear according to the survey responses.Sexism presentation

Sexism takes many forms including discriminatory treatment of women, violence against women, and economic disadvantages faced by women. Some key points are:

- Approximately 1.5 million women are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner each year in the US.
- Poverty has increasingly become an issue for women, especially those with children, due to factors like divorce and abandonment.
- Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign broke barriers, being the first woman nominated for president by a major party, but she and other female candidates still face sexist attitudes.Sexism

Sexism refers to unjustified negative behavior against individuals based on their gender and involves harmful stereotypes about appropriate gender roles, occupations, and abilities. There are three main types of sexism: individual sexism involving personal biases and stereotypes; institutional sexism through policies that restrict opportunities for one gender; and cultural sexism through lower social status and power of women in society. Sexism can lead to discrimination in areas like pay, education admissions, and evaluations of competence based on gender.Violence Against Women

Early Christian views did not believe in witches, but persecution began in the 1200s led by Pope Innocent III and Thomas Aquinas. Witch interrogations often involved torture and examining women's bodies for signs of witchcraft. Witches were seen as sexual deviants conspiring in secret societies, and helping/healing neighbors, which threatened the church. Between 1400-1700, an estimated 80,000-100,000 witches were killed in Europe, mostly women. The Salem Witch Trials in 1692 saw 19 people hanged and over 200 imprisoned on witchcraft charges. Modern witchcraft is now practiced as a religion by some.LGBTQ+ 101

Racism is an illusional concept that has persisted in modern society. It developed from the historical practices of slavery, which existed as early as ancient Egypt and stratified many early civilizations into castes. Despite protests against it, racism continued to view black people as inferior to others after slavery was abolished. Racism still exists today through stereotypes, jokes, and groups online. It stems from factors like skin color, religion, culture, and history. Solutions include spreading awareness, accepting diversity, and making discrimination illegal. Famous figures both advanced and fought against racist ideologies.Examining Heterosexual & Cisgender Privilege

Based on Peggy McIntoshs (1988) pioneering investigations of white and male privilege, we can, by analogy, understand heterosexual and cisgender privilege as constituting a seemingly invisible, unearned, and largely unacknowledged array of benefits accorded to heterosexuals and cisgender people with which they often unconsciously walk through life as if effortlessly carrying knapsacks tossed over their shoulders.

2) Women earn 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, with differences greater among older workers, partly due to women being more likely to work in lower paying jobs and fewer hours. Discrimination accounts for about half of the remaining pay gap.

Developmental psychology examines human growth and change across the lifespan, from infancy through late adulthood, exploring topics like cognitive, social, and emotional development through a variety of theoretical perspectives including psychoanalytic, behaviorist, social learning, and cognitive theories. Major debates in the field include the relative influences of nature versus nurture and continuity versus discontinuity of development. The study of developmental psychology is important for understanding human potential and applying that knowledge across various disciplines like education, health care, and public policy.Human Growth & Development: Developmental Psychology.
