3rd week inquiry questions

My first inquiry question is about street harassment, is street harassment about power? In my last blog I talked about my inquiry question being kind of like an opinion question, and in some places in the world, men are being harassed more than women. According to one of my Google Reader subscriptions, this week there were no updates. There were no such blogs that could help answer my inquiry question. People just wrote, how someone know was harassed and personal experience. There was no such update that seemed interesting to me, or compel me to come up with a new question. This time none of the updates made me think, about my inquiry question being an opinion question.    

My second inquiry question is, about age discrimination, why are senior citizens being discriminated. There were some new updates about the age discrimination in my Google Reader subscriptions, but none of them help me learn about my question and help me answer my question. Most of them talked about how disrespectful it is to dismiss or sack someone because there are old. Some updates talked about the bosses, who fire their employee because of their age, should be given jailed based on the charges of age discrimination. The updates were very boring to read this time, they all talking about how bad age discrimination is and how senior citizens employees should be treated

Inquiry Questions answers

My first inquiry question is about street harassment, is street harassment about power? My inquiry question is kind of like an opinion question, and in some places in the world, men are being harassed more than women. According to one of my Google Reader subscriptions, there was a blog posted 2-3 days ago and it talked about boys being harassed more than girls. It said that middle school boys were harassed more than girls, therefore; the harassments made a negative impact on them. The boys were not coming to school, had trouble sleeping and more. Before reading this blog I was certain that my inquiry question is not an opinion question. After reading it, the blog made my think that there could be other place where men are harassed more than women. The blog also made me think about how can harassment trouble your sleep.

My second inquiry question is, about age discrimination, why are senior citizens being discriminated. There were new updates about the age discrimination in my Google Reader subscriptions, but none of them help me learn about my question and help me answer my question. However, reading the other blog, about boys being harassed more than girls, again made my think if my second question is also an opinion question.      

Inquiry Questions

My Inquiry questions:
1) Is street harassment about power?
2) Why are senior citizens being discriminated?
 


I have notice a lot times, that men harass women on the streets. The funny thing is that I have never seen an women honking, or leers, or whistles or, making kissing noises, or giving non-sexually explicit evaluative comments to a men. This makes me believe that street harassment is much motivated by gender, meaning it have to with superiority. My conclusion and my view on why street harassment is motivated by gender is because men feel or "Know" that they are superior than women. So, this problem definitely has to do with POWER or superiority. Street harassment give women certain limitation to comfortably walk in public, but men get no such limit, therefore; street harassment is also a human's rights issue.


I have read, and heard young employers calling senior citizen employers by names like “ Old man”, “pops”, and more. I read a article about  a 65 years old man, who worked for a corporation, he worked their for 28 years, almost his whole life. Then one day his boss called him and fired him. When the employer asks him why, his boss replied by say that he is now to old to work, so he will be replaced by a young and more educated man. This article that I read was definitely about age discrimination. Instead of learning from these “Old Men”, why are being fired.
