570 FINAL PAPER ZENA AN INFERIOR WOMAN FINAL PROJECT. CERTIFIED

The topic of this paper is about a woman named Zena Freeman from case study vignette 10-53 (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2016, p. 341) She asked “Macho Mann, Ph.D.” for assistance with some problems she was having understanding certain concepts in her organizational psychology class. Macho Mann then made a comment on how women do not belong in the course she was taking because they were not ‘suited’ to the field. Mann also refused to respond to her specific questions because of his thoughts and opinion on this (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2016, p. 341) Introduction: Culture The professor is unwilling to see past his student as a female and completely disregarded the fact that his obligation as a professor is to treat every one of his students as equal no matter the race, sex, age, etc. His main job is to equip them with the best education in this field as possible and is apparent that his role makes him believe that he is empowered and superior to his female students because of his position he holds. This not only offends the female in which he is in conflict with, but also his other students including the males who have an opinion of him that he believes that females really do not belong in his class or field in general. Mr. Mann holds a title he thinks is better than others and portrays himself to others that his belief is correct. This scenario makes the male students think that they should be the superior ones to the females in this field and that females should not hold a role beside them.
