Should female construction workers earn the same wages as males?

Nowadays, men are paid more money than women in the construction area. Maybe it is because men seem to fit more the job, but it's fair to say that us women have rights too.

On the one hand men are more physically capable to do a job like that because they generally are stronger, so it's easier for them to get the work done and the productivity may be higher than if they were women.

But I think they still should be paid the same. Both men and women are people, and actually, a woman can be as strong as a man or even stronger. It's not fair at all this wage gap when they are doing exactly the same job.

And the reason that this difference exists, it's not exclusively because of men's physical condition. You can find this difference in every other job. In average, women are paid approximately 25% less than men, mostly in the US. One of the reasons why women are paid less is the possibility that they can take the maternity leave. Unlike men, women can get pregnant, so they usually take the maternity leave for a few months. In this period of time, decades ago, the woman would be fired. Nowadays, the woman can take off her job for a few months while still receiving her salary.

Society has evolved in that aspect, but women are still being paid less for reasons they can't avoid, like being able to get pregnant or being physically weaker. So society is still sexist, even though not as sexist as it used to be, so we can have hope that it'll change for the better.

Description of a city you've visited: Naples

Presentation:

Naples from nhidalgo47

Description of the city [script]:

I'm doing my presentation about Naples, a city in Italy I visited on a schooltrip a few years ago. We stayed for a day but I could contemplate how beautiful the city really is.

Naples is located in Italy, in the province of Campania, in the Gulf of Naples.

Now I'm going to talk about some facts about the city.
It's one of the largest municipalities in the country. Specifically 120 km2.
It was the most bombed italian during World War II, where more than 20.000 people died and the primary target was the Port of Naples.
It's one of the most catholic cities in the world, with 448 churches in it.
It has the largest historic city centre in Europe, enclosing 27 centuries of history.
Pizza was invented here in 1830.

Naples has a lot of historical buildings. The most prominent ones are the medieval, renaissence and baroque. The building in the right photo is baroque and the castle on the left is medieval. It's a pic I took of Castle Nuovo, located in the centre in front of the city hall.
There was a residence for the loyalty, but when Charles I was reigning he ordered its building in 1279 when the capital was moved to Naples. Nowadays the castle is one of the main architectural landmarks of the city and it's open to the public so tourists can visit it.

These are some more of the pics I took. This is the main square of the city, called Piazza del Plebiscito, and it's one of the first places I visited, just before going to Umberto I Gallery, which is a gallery that it is nearby and it's beautiful to see. Piazza del Plebiscito is so big and impressive in real life. Just there, it's San Francisco di Paola, a church. In front of it there's the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace it's a museum, a palace and now a historical tourist destination. It was one of the four residences of the Bourbon Kings during the kingdom of two Sicilies.

To end the presentation, this is the Bay of Naples. It's inmensely big as it takes up most of the Gulf of Naples. We can clearly see the Vesuvius from here, the famous volcano that killed so many people in Pompeii in 79 AD. The most vibrant part of the city is the one near the port.

My favorite city

I will talk about Santa Cruz de la Sierra, maybe it isn’t the most tourists the city to go but it’s where I was born and raised and that’s why it is my favorite city in the world.

Santa Cruz de la Sierra is the largest city and economic engine of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, municipal section of the Department of Santa Cruz.

It is a pretty quiet town endowed with restaurants, parks, museums, squares and malls where you can spend time with friends or family.

Moreover, the culture of the city is characterized by a typical dance called Taquirari and the quite admired poetry in which outlines a poet called Camba calucha who honors the tradition of the city with each of his verses.

Despite all the attractions that the city may have, the most important for me is the fact that this is where my family and childhood friends are. 

Street art

The aim of this composition is to raise awareness about that Street art isn't something bad!

Most people think that those kind of wrongful acts are bad for the society, but they are wrong. The Street Art is a way that artist are able to have a canvas on which to create true masterpieces that are as worthy of being in a museum as any other expressions of art.

It is where Street artists can be themselves saying what they think without fear of being judged for who they are or where they come from. They are artists who open their hearts and express their pain or joy through painting on public places.

they use street art as a way of expression, that can be about culture, beliefs, politics, love, war...etc. there's to many things that they can be able to express with Street art and in my opinion it's unfair that there is still people who is against this form of expression, they speak of freedom but they are banning these artists to express themselves through their art form.

So we can help the street art to be more appreciated for what it is ... an art form! By getting rid of laws forbidding street art! Once they are forbidden, street artists can display their art with no hassle, and creating street art police to ensure that there isn't some offensive street art.

A report

The purpose of this report are the reasons to remove the Bull of
the festivities.
In the last days, there has been talk about if the bull is
mistreated or not in the festivities, for instance in “El Toro de la
Vega”, where the bull ends up dying.
I think, should be finished any festivities where this involves a
bull, because the end always is the same.
The bull is an animal like any other and we must respect, we
have to think, and realize that an animal can’t suffer that way.
We should put ourselves in their situation to realize what they
suffer. Many people say that the only Bull serves to die, that is
because they do not have empathy with other living beings.
Other reason is that people also risk their lives, because they
don’t realize the danger, in fact they have been many deaths. But
that depends on each person, because no one obliges them to
do so.
In conclusion, must end with all the festivities where there are
bulls, for the good of bulls, for the good of people, for the good
of society.
