Summary:

The problem that we are talking about is Gender Equality. Gender Equality is a problem because many females are mistreated by the society A few examples: they are not being paid as much as men, in some religions females are not allowed to leave the house without covering their faces.and some females are being forced to marry guys a lot older then them.

I think the way that we should confront this problem is by respecting the females. We should give them the same rights as men. We should pay them the same amount as men, not force them to marry other people, and we should allow them their dignity.

Rap Lyrics



Women are wishing
they are wishing for equality
so they can go to school and get the money
cause it ain't funny that women don't get paid as much as men.

Chorus
gender equality matters
gender equality matters

ya it is bad that women are not getting paid as much as men
cause they wont be able to afford a house for their kids

gender equality matters
gender equality matters

women are being forced to marry guys a lot older then them
and it ain't fair it ain't fair

gender equality matters
gender equality matters

yo so we gonna solve this problem
by respect to the females that are dying for education.

gender equality matters
gender equality matters

Reflections

I learned that gender equality is a big part in life and when people say life is not always fair I say I know. But now I think it means so much more to some people.
I learned that working in a group is very hard and can be very frustrating. I think I would have worked better alone.

In this topic I learned how Gender Equality is a serious problem. I learned that females are looked down upon from the society. When my group first started the project we did not work together well, but towards the end we learned how to work together. A few new tools that I learned how to use was Audacity and Blabberize.

I learned that it is not just in education that women do not have equality, that it is also in peoples homes and jobs. I think that we could have worked together more to get the project done faster and that the others could have been more helpful with finishing the video. I learned how to use blabberize and a movie making program.
