The Catholic Church allow NFP because whether the woman becomes pregnant or not is up to God.

  • Women who applied for jobs have sometimes been overlooked on the grounds of gender, rather than suitability for the job.
  • Poorer women worked in factories during the Industrial Revolution, but received lower wages than men doing the same job

Q

How were there changes in the workplace after the 2 World Wars

A

After the two world wars, attitudes towards women in work gradually began to change. Women had to work when the men were fighting and proved that it was within their capabilities. However, many advertisements from the 1950’s still depicted women as housewives and it is not until the 1960s that women make up 40% of the workforce.

53
Q

Today’s situation on Sex Discrimination in the workplace today

A

In 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act was passed, making it illegal to discriminate against applicants on the basis of their gender. Despite this, women today are sometimes still discriminated against, for example, on average, women are paid less than men (currently 15.5%) and, although women make up half the workforce, men hold a higher proportion of senior positions.

Men can also be the victims of discrimination. For example, women may be preferred for jobs such as a nanny, a nursery nurse etc.

54
Q

Pope Francis’s Quote on Gender Discrimination in the Workplace

A

“Why is it expected that women must earn less than men? No! they have the same rights. It is a pure scandal!” (Pope Francis)

55
Q

The Catholic Church’s view on Gender Discrimination, along with what others think

A

The Catholic Church believes that discrimination can do great damage as it makes people feel like they have less worth and value and that widespread discrimination can affect society as a whole in a negative way.

However, many people in Britain today would argue that the Catholic Church’s ban on allowing women to become priests is a form of gender discrimination, although this would be disputed by the Catholic Church, as they will maintain that women have other important roles in the Church to form a good harmony between men and women.

  7. Through sex the couple show each other mutual love and respect

  9. Sex outside marriage leads people to be selfish and a tendency to break promises
  10. The way human bodies are made brings both intimacy and the possibility of new life
  11. Sex within marriage helps enrich the couple and stops it being only about personal pleasure
  12. Unfaithfulness starts in the mind, we should avoid reducing people to sexual objects and not individuals
