School Investigation of Present Year #1
The comparison I did was the schools in New York, and see if they are ranked from the worst to the best schools. Starting from the worst school, as Flushing Highschool.

Following that would be Stuyvesant with boys to girls ratio as 59:41. Finally we conclude with Townsend Harris as being the top school, with a boy to girl ratio as 31:69. -
School Investigation of Present year #2
To conclude from the first part, it's hard to set down 1 conclusion that can fully tell whether there is a relationship between good schools and a student's sex. From my research, I found out that the worst school, Flushing High, have a lower ratio of girls that there are boys. Where as in Townsend Harris, there is a significant difference between the amount of boys and the amount of girls. If anything, I would say that it have to do with how the child is raised rather than the sex of a student. -
Interview From a Peer
From the interview I've done to my classmate, it's seems that sexism in the workforce is the most severe, where women don't seem to be paid as much as the men.

Women have proven themselves that they can be just as successful as men, if not more successful. -
To Conclude Everything...
Women has come a long way from having no rights to now having equal standings as men. Women has taken each and every step up the society with determination and leave traces of their battle through history. That includes their battle for their voting rights to their campaign for raising awareness to not judge a women for their body. As our society progresses today, women gain more rights and benefits on a more micro-level, although small, yet also crucial.
