Argumentative Essay
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The thesis of Lester C. Thurow’s essay Why Women Are Paid Less Than Men is that women are paid less than men because during the critical period of promotion and skill acquisition (25-35), most women are preoccupied with childbearing and child-raising and men are not. Thurow’s position on this claim stems from his argument that biological differences, discrimination, and educational factors do not account for the fact that between 1939 and 1979 “white women who work full time have with monotonous regularity made slightly less than 60 percent as much as white men” (187).If we analyze this essay from a Toulmin model, we find the following: Claim: Earning differentials exist between men and women, with women earning on average 60% of what men earn for similar work. Support: This deferential is not due to biological differences, discrimination, nor educational factors. Warrant: The only way to narrow the wage-gap between men and women is to alter family planning, or restructure the existing promotion and skill acquisition system to cover a longer time-span.
