This is a quick quiz given on an equality and diversity course I'm doing. See what you think.
1. What percentage of families in Britain in the last decade have the mother stays at home and father goes out to work model?
2. When were women first allowed into medical schools?
3. True or false? Women have less brain cells than men?
4. In the 1992 election what percentage of polling stations were fully accessible to disabled people?
5. What percentage of men’s gross weekly pay are women in Britain currently being paid? Or to put it another way, how much less than men are women earning?
6. What percentage of the 3.9m registered disabled people of working age in Britain are actually in employment, (compared to 77% of their non-disabled peers?)
7. What is the earliest date, give or take a century, that black people were living in Britain?
8. Society X in which strictly drawn up characteristics are laid down for men and women, and their roles in society. Men go out into the world and carry out community and state business and women stay in the home where they bear and raise children and Sons are more favoured. In this society there are strict rules governing who you associate with for social and sexual matters, and a man who ignores these rules is subject to violence by other males, and considered ‘sissy’, ‘not a real man’, ‘perverted’ and ‘unclean’. The state upholds these rules and encourages such violence, which is considered to be ‘deserved’ where you are not of the dominant sexuality (sexual orientation). Where and when is society X?
9. The following statistics come from which part of which century? 2 out of 5 children in Britain live below the poverty line
