1) The glass ceiling concept means an invisible upper limit in corporations and other organizations, above which it is difficult or impossible for women to rise in the ranks. This metaphor is to show how there are barriers that keep women from getting promotions, pay raises, and further opportunities. Historically, this term was popularized in the 1980s. It was used in a 1984 book called “The Working Woman Report”, and later used in 1986 in an article called “Wall Street Journal”. The term uses the word “glass” because the barrier is not visible. The women might not be aware of the barrier until they hit it.
2) The glass ceiling is still relevant in today’s workplace. Although the term is not an explicit practice discriminating against women, there are still other things that produce the barrier without the intention to discriminate. Some of these things include specific policies, practices, and attitudes. This term applies to many major economic organizations. But now, further in today’s society, it is being applied to invisible limits where women had not risen in other fields. Yet there are still arguments that there is no glass ceiling in today’s workplace. These arguments include that women do not have the right education, women’s job choices keep them off of the executive track, and women’s right already provides equality. However, there is clear evidence that this glass ceiling still exists. There are many women of higher power that do not make the same salary as men in that same position. There are also many places that do not offer women the same opportunity as they do to men to rise up in their field.

The “Glass Ceiling” is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that keeps a given demographic (women) from rising beyond a certain level in a bureaucracy. This metaphor was first stamped by feminist, including Marylin Loden in 1978, about barriers in the careers of high-achieving women. The term was invented to apply to major economic organization, like corporations. The U.S. Department of Labor’s 1991 interpretation of the glass ceiling as “those artificial barriers based on attitudinal or organization into management-level position.”
“Invisible Barriers” function as metaphors to describe the extraordinary circumstances that women undergo, usually when women are trying to advance within their careers as well as advance their lives outside the workplace. These additional circumstances include the prevention of promotions, especially to the executive rankings. The gender pay gap is an excellent example of the glass ceiling and is the difference between male and female earnings even in the same level of the position. There are multiple types of glass ceilings including intentional entrepreneurs and corporate climbers.
I think the glass ceiling is very relevant to today’s workplace. While I believe that times have significantly changed and there are a more significant number of women are in leadership positions, there is still the notion of the glass ceiling. Even though women may not be aware of the existence of the glass ceiling concept until they hit the barrier. There are still issues with gender stereotyping, gender pay gap, glass escalator, sticky floor, and the frozen middle. Hopefully, one day, this will soon change.
HIS 100 Project 3: Multimedia Presentation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
“If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.â€
Your final longer-term project in this course is to complete a multimedia presentation. The work you did on the Topic Exploration Worksheet in Theme 1 and the historical context and introduction in Theme 3 will directly support your work on this project.
One of the prime benefits of studying history is that it allows us to learn about who we are and where we came from. The people and events of the past can often shed light on the conditions and social norms of the present. Having historical awareness can inform various aspects of your life as well as future aspirations. Learning from past failures and successes can shape ideals and values for years to come.
This final longer-term project is designed to help you understand the fundamental processes and value of studying history. In the first project, you completed the Topic Exploration Worksheet on one of the topics or themes from the library guide. You investigated the types of research you might need to do to learn more about the topic and developed research questions. In Project 2, you used this worksheet to complete a research plan and introduction. You selected one of your research questions and did some secondary-source research, speculated on primary source needs, and used the information to write the introduction and thesis statement for a possible research paper.
In this third project, you will create a multimedia presentation that explores both major developments in historical inquiry and the value of examining history. This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
- ï‚· Investigate major developments in the progression of historical inquiry for informing critical questions related to historical narrative
- ï‚· Articulate the value of examining historical events for their impact on contemporary issuesPromptNow that you have done some research with primary and secondary sources (using sources from the library guide for your chosen topic) and written an introduction for a possible history paper, you will turn your attention to thinking about the creation and value of historical inquiry. You will use the research you have done throughout this course, as well as course materials, to inform your thoughts. To present your opinions and observations, you will create a multimedia presentation (using a presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi) that addresses the following critical elements. While these questions may seem “big,â€remember that you are addressing them in a presentation, not a paper, and can use bullet points, visuals, or other methods. These critical elements will be evaluated from the information you provide in your multimedia presentation. Note: If using Prezi, be sure to include a Word document with notes. If using PowerPoint, be sure to use the speaker notes feature.
—Pearl Buck
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Articulate how different historical lenses impact how people perceive an historical event. The lenses include political, economic, and social.
- Explain how historical lenses could be applied to your topic. For instance, are there aspects of this event that might interest a political historianand what are they?
- Choose one of the lenses referenced above, and detail how the historical narrative you started in your research and introduction might changethrough this lens. For instance, how might the “story†of your event change when studied through its political aspects?
- Discuss what conclusions you can draw about the “telling†of history in relation to the “teller.†How does this impact for you what “history†is?
Be sure to back up your opinions with information learned throughout the course and in reference to your chosen topic. on your conclusions, articulate the value of studying history.
II. Based
A. Describe how you could apply to our lives today what you have learned from the event you have studied. Be sure to reference specific
contemporary issues. For instance, what specific issues that we encounter today could benefit from lessons learned from your event?
- Discuss your opinion of the adage that “history repeats itself.†Do you agree or disagree? Be sure to explain why you have this opinion withinformation you have learned throughout the course and in your research of your topic.
- Discuss your obligation as a citizen of your society to understanding the history behind issues that impact you every day. For instance, what civicduties you can be better at if you know more about their history? How can being a more informed member of society benefit you and society?Supporting Work and Resources
