Kayla Forte Participation

For this participation I interviewed a 19 year old Caucasian male who is a student at Fresno State. This interview took place on December 18, 2014 in the Atrium at Fresno State. We talked about women in the workplace and the pay gap that we see in society. He was not aware of the pay gap so he was very shocked when he was made aware that women generally only make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. He believes that everyone should be paid equally because they are doing the same work. It shouldn't matter what gender you are as long as you are doing a good job. He also believes that we see men in high positions because as a society we see them as strong and independent. Women are seen as weak and emotionally unstable. Society has created a sort of norm that a man is the one that holds the power. We are just used to the idea of having a man in power and people do not like change.
