Discrimination in the Work Place

'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus', goes the saying. There are important behavioral divergences between them which may be very prominent in their workplaces and can have adverse affect on their productiveness as well as their style of work. The behavioral conflicts can also affect the operating of the people with whom they are closely linked in their workplaces, their peers, colleagues and superiors. (Samuel, 2005)

When World War II the men had to go to the front, women substituted them in their jobs until then blocked for them, and showed what they were able to society and themselves.
