• The textbook authors state, “The term glass ceiling refers to an invisible barrier that blocks the promotion of a qualified individual in a work environment because of the individual’s gender, race, or ethnicity (R Schaefer 21-014).” This term is introduced in chapter 10. I also think this concept relates to chapter 14. Karl Marx talked about the elite model of power relations. Marx believed that the bulk of the power in a society rested in the hands of a few. Also, you should take a look at figure 14.3 on page 339.
• Do you believe the glass ceiling exists today for women? Give me some examples. Go to the internet and find data or anecdotal stories there with regards to the glass ceiling. Please cite your references.
