Introduction

A) My blog handle is very plain and boring, but I wanted to keep it simple. It is simply the title of the class.
B) My major is Justice Studies and my minor is English literature. This is my last semester at ASU and I am very excited.
C) I chose this class to fulfill a requirement and because the title of the class sounded very interesting. I work now and I work with very powerful women and I hope to be a powerful business woman one day too, so this class caught my eye. I think it is very important to look at issues that women have had with justice and the work area and understand them because we probably wouldn’t be here today had those women not gone through them.

Women, work and justice are three words that seem to go together pretty well for me. I think it took a very long time and a lot of hard work to have those three words make sense together for a lot of people, but overtime, especially now, they just fit. In this time in age, there are many more women in the work force and slowly, but surely, women are becoming more and more equal with men in the work force. Issues with women and the work force are much different these days and a lot of new issues dealing with women and being in the work force involve justice. Women are becoming stronger and more willing to speak there minds and fight for there rights. Women’s priorities are beginning to shift from babies and homemaker first to careers first. Justice to me is equality or being able to fight for your equality and getting it in the end. Justice is also about being able to do the right thing when you see it. Being able to do these things are very important to women because without justice, women definitely would not be where they are today in the work force.
