INDIVIDUAL PURSUITS Making A Racket
For activity 1 of INDIVIDUAL PURSUITS I had to watch a video of how Venus and Serena Williams are getting payed less then men tennis players. I have to talk about 3 things I got from the video and 1 question, so here we go. First of all the people paying them less the the men should make it equal so they have the same they both put in the hard effort. Second of all the people paying them are a little bit sexist because men and woman both work hard and both do the same amount of work so they need the same money even though they are woman. The woman are not happy with their pay and they want the same amount which they should get. My question is " Why do men get more then woman?" It was hard knowing what was going on because they were using big words but when they used smaller words I knew what they were saying. Do you think they should get payed the same?

Hey Arie,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on completing another activity. Now that you've finished the programme remember to go through and comment on other peoples' Summer Learning Journey posts. For every quality comment you leave you'll receive two extra points! :)
You've raised some really good points about the unequal pay issues in sports. Both men and women put a lot of time, effort and energy into mastering their chosen sport and it must be very deflating to not be recognised in the same way. Did the video you watched explain why this is?
Have a lovely afternoon, Arie. I hope to hear from you soon. :)
Bye for now,
Mikey
