Family, Careers and Marriages: Reaction to Articles
The topics of family, careers and marriage are ones that all individuals of all walks of life deal with on a somewhat daily basis. Through these three articles, scholars provide an interesting information into specific areas within this broader topic of family, careers and marriage.
Foremost, Korenman and Neumark's paper entitled "Does Marriage Really Make Men More Productive?" provides interesting insight on how marriage correlated with an increased salary among white males. Korenman and Neumark explore how the married workers tended "receive higher performance ratings than single men; as a result, they were likely to be promoted" (Korenman, and Neumark).Using human capital wage equations, the scholars explored data that led them to believe that married men had higher salaries. One of the more interesting conclusions that Korenman and Neumark make is in regards to never married men- that there is "faster wage growth for married men as compared to never married men, then from an intercept shift associated with any particular marital status (Korenman, and Neumark).This particular conclusion is interesting in that there they make the conclusion but there is nothing really of substance that offers why in fact that this is happening. Does marriage really help men be more productive? Personally, it seems that marriage brings an added responsibility to one's life and the desire to move forward and ultimately, make more money to provide for a household is something that subtly forces married men in that direction. It seems that there are a myriad of factors that are keeping single men back from moving faster up the salary chain and it seems mostly, that single men d no need it as much as married men do. With added responsibility in one's...
Counseling: Career Challenges Women FaceWomen have always been struggling either to find an appropriate job opportunity matching their qualifications or an equal-pay job (person-job fit). This paper aims at devising a counselling intervention for women who face challenges in their careers. The explanation of interventional approaches to address the particular problem would be done by investigating the issue in-depth and looking for pertinent information for catering to it in counselling
Marriage Stability The success of marriage has been shown to depend on a number of variables, such as interpersonal competence (Cole and Cole, 1999), personal meanings of marriage (Timmer and Orbuch, 2001), socioeconomic status, education, wife religiosity (Brown, Orbuch, and Bauermeister, 2008), and close ties to parents (Orbuch, Bauermeister, Brown, and McKinley, 2013). The vast majority of research has focused on the perspective of parents and the various variables that influence
My goal is to continuously work as hard and honest as I can to achieve my additional long-term goal, which is to climb the corporate ladder. Opportunities will arise where I have to prove myself and push to the next level, and I am prepared to do this. I have selected this goal because it fits my personality, my ambition, my interests, and is the career that I want
Those who happen to be disproportionately affected by hypertension according to Elliot (2007) are African-Americans. Family history of BP also plays a prominent role in the prevalence of hypertension. In the words of Elliot (2007), "data consistently indicate that BP levels are hereditable." What this means is that studies have clearly demonstrated that an individual's risk of high blood pressure is largely dependent on whether or not there is
On one hand, there does seem to be advantages that can be gained through marriage; especially for females. However, on the other hand, these indicators are compiled through aggregates of large samples. Therefore these findings do not suggest that any individuals should use these findings to try to plan their lives. Correlation does not equal causation and individuals should attempt to make good decisions that are not necessarily based
Family Break Up For a humane, the word 'community' hints at people trying to work out solutions to common problems. The term 'community' generally stands for a group that is bigger and more diverse than a family or any group of people bound together with relationships. It also has more elements than being of the same neighborhood or enclave, though not as large as a county or a nation. Certainly it
