The media and consumption of entertainment has been biased since its conception. Media refers to collective communication outlets that are tasked with the responsibility of storing and delivering information and women's role in media revolves around the four axes of media. The axes are media freedom, media pluralism, media independence and media safety. Whilst it may be true that women do not face the same safety risks as men in media, they still are open to the experiences of gender inequalities, safety issues and under-representation (UNESCO, 2018).  According to Lanza (2017) a 2014 global survey of nearly 1,000 journalists, initiated by the International News Safety Institute in collaboration with the International Women's Media Foundation supported by UNESCO, found that nearly two-thirds of women who took part in the survey had experienced intimidation, threats or abuse in the workplace. In the period from 2012 through 2016, UNESCO's Director-General denounced the killi...

However the writings of Marx had a tendency to focus more on class inequalities and rarely challenged gender issues and disparities. The work of Engles suggests that he believed men and women were neutral subjects, void of any hierarchy, order or domination (Marx and Engles, 2002).

The fundamental themes that Marx offers in his social criticisms such as alienation and domina...

In regards to the education system, the UK last saw reform in 2015details Roy (2019). This reform was based on the A- Level and GCSE grading systems in operation. They moved from an alphabetised system to a numerical system. Education in England has seen much reform, moreso since the 19th century. Despite regular reform, the UK education system as a whole still remains heavily plagued with disparities and discrimination according to Pager and Sheppard (2008). The history of the education system in England is vast and expands roughly through 1500 years. Education in England according to Lawson and Silver (2013) began during the Saxon Settlement and catholic schools appeared in 597 and 604. Education in England remained closely associated with religion up until the 19th century when charity schools, known at the time as ragged schools, and free grammar schools began gaining popularity. Charity schools and Grammar schools were open to children of any religious belief.  Purvis (1989) s...
