At its essence, this means creating an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, has equal opportunities and representation. To achieve this, we must break down barriers and challenge deep--seated stereotypes. Gender inequality refers to the unfair differences in opportunities, rights, and how people are treated based on their gender. It is a problem embedded in our societal structures. The solution lies in addressing these imbalances to create a society that is genuine, fair, and just for all. Historically roles that are allocated to men and women have always been strongly related to societal norms. These beliefs—which were often founded in biological differences— became rigid standards that defined how people of different genders should behave, carry out their roles, and relate to one another in the community. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 In many ancient civilizations, gender roles were sharply defined. They were typically associated with archaic ideas of masculinity and femininity, according to which women belonged at home and males held positions of leadership, authority, and decision- making. Despite progress in the 20th century and improvements such as legislative developments and feminist waves, gender conventions from the past still exist. While our world has undergone significant evolution in various aspects such as technology, communication, and education, it is disheartening to note that deeply ingrained gender biases persist unabated. The burden of this past baggage continues to impact expectations in modern society. Facts and figures underline the urgency of change. Throughout the world, women earn approximately 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. Denial of management and decision-making roles complemented with lower salaries have been made customary in business. Moreover, the burden of unpaid care work disproportionately falls on women. This perpetuates antiquated gender norms while also limiting women's chances for professional progress. Combating health disparities is an additional aspect of the battle for gender parity. Women's health is overlooked in many regions of the world, and getting access to reproductive healthcare is still a luxury. In this multifaceted struggle, men, too, navigate a complex terrain shaped by societal expectations and stereotypes. Getting over preconceived ideas about masculinity may be a big obstacle that affects mental health and personal growth. Men may experience pressure at work to fit into traditional positions, which might restrict their options for unorthodox career pathways or work-life balance. There are possibilities and challenges associated with the changing face of fatherhood and caring, which calls for a reassessment of societal norms about men's obligations in the family. An essential component of the struggle is to eliminate toxic masculinity, which means opposing behaviours that reinforce negative stereotypes and limit healthy emotional expression. Leading the way in this transformative movement, men are breaking traditional gender norms by taking on roles as stay-at-home dads, entering nursing professions, excelling in teaching, and making significant contributions to the fashion and culinary industry. These instances challenge stereotypes associated with masculinity and redefine societal expectations in artistic fields. Simultaneously, more women are succeeding in STEM fields, and the increasing number of female pilots, and women in leadership roles within the technology sector, all of these examples defy gender-specific occupational norms. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 Quoting Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in her book "We Should All Be Feminists", wrote that "The idea of 'gender roles' is rife with stereotypes and biases. We should challenge these perceptions at every turn." Her heartfelt remarks serve as an important reminder that 'gender roles' are full of prejudices and assumptions that uphold inequity. We must all undergo an immense mental transformation if we are working toward the cause of gender equality. It demands a psychological reassessment of the beliefs and prejudices that have long influenced our viewpoints. As we move forward, let us not only champion policy changes and systemic reforms but also become ambassadors of a psychological revolution. By encouraging open-mindedness, empathy, and an inclusive perspective, we lay the foundation for a future where gender equality is not just an aspiration but an integral part of our collective consciousness. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 Social Media's Impact on Reality and Social Challenges Social Media's Impact on Reality and Social Challenges By- Ahmed Omair Al-awlaq i ( MSc (CA), 2023-25) WRITTEN BY-Ahmed Omair Al-awlaq i Batch-MSc (CA) Due to rapid technological advancements, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. This impact is created by the combination of positive opportunities and social challenges. Despite geographical differences, social media facilitates social connections and interactions, enabling individuals to communicate seamlessly with their families and friends. Furthermore, these platforms facilitate cultural exchanges and cross-cultural communication. However, the impact of social media also reveals negative aspects, such as the exacerbation of some social challenges. Intensive engagement in these platforms can lead to social isolation, as individuals may find themselves immersed in virtual worlds rather than engaging in real-life interactions. Additionally, the use of social media raises privacy concerns, with a plethora of personal information being shared publicly, posing threats to individual privacy. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 Furthermore, social media plays a significant role in shaping our perspectives and beliefs, as the news and information disseminated through these platforms are susceptible to distortion and influence. These challenges understanding and distinguishing truth from fake news and information manipulation. In conclusion, the impact of social media manifests as a complex interplay of social opportunities and challenges. We must remain aware of its profound influence and adopt responsible usage to harness its full benefits while avoiding potential negative effects. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 13 IS AI REALLY EATING UP ALL THE JOBS? Written By Shruti Bharat Vhanmane (BCA, 2023-27) While the fear of AI "eating up" all jobs is not unfounded, it is crucial to recognize the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon. Rather than viewing AI as a threat, society should focus on fostering a workforce equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in a technologically advanced world. Policymakers, educators, and businesses play a vital role in ensuring that the benefits of AI are harnessed responsibly, mitigating the negative consequences and creating a future where humans and AI coexist synergistically. Ultimately, the impact of AI on employment depends on how society adapts to and manages the ongoing technological revolution. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries and redefine the nature of work, concerns about job displacement are prevalent. However, there exist certain jobs that, due to their intrinsically human nature and complexity, are less susceptible to automation. In this essay, we will explore the characteristics that make certain professions resistant to AI displacement and highlight the enduring value of the unique skills and qualities that humans bring to the workforce. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 14 Throughout history, technological advancements have consistently reshaped the nature of work. From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, each era brought about changes in employment patterns, often leading to the emergence of new job categories while rendering certain tasks obsolete. The introduction of AI represents the latest chapter in this ongoing evolution. Challenges Posed by AI in Employment: Job Displacement: One of the primary concerns surrounding AI is the potential displacement of certain jobs. Automation and machine learning can efficiently perform routine, repetitive tasks, leading to a decrease in demand for low-skilled jobs in manufacturing, data entry, and customer service. Skills Mismatch: The rapid pace of technological innovation can create a skills gap, leaving some workers ill-equipped for the jobs of the future. This mismatch between existing skills and the requirements of AI-driven industries may result in unemployment or underemployment. Unequal Impact: The impact of AI on employment is not uniform across sectors and regions. While some industries may experience job losses, others may see job creation and increased productivity. This non-uniformity can contribute to economic disparities and social challenges. While AI excels at automating routine and repetitive tasks, it encounters challenges when confronted with tasks requiring emotional intelligence, creativity, critical thinking, and complex social interactions. These inherent limitations create a distinct realm of employment opportunities that are less likely to be replaced by AI. CURSOR 5.0 | VOLUME VI ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2024 15
