Brief history of the Equal Rights Amendment?
Starting in 1848, the Equal Rights Amendment has been an ongoing struggle with each new victory bringing new need for equality. In 1848 Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott gathered around 300 men and women at the Seneca Falls convention to protest for women's rights. The official Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in 1923 and did not pass through each Congress until 1972. In 1982, not enough states had been ratified and it was re-introduced. Since 1994, it was been introduced into every Congress and has been accepted.

What conditions are necessary for successful price discrimination?
- Different markets must be separable for a seller to be able to practice discriminatory pricing. The market for different classes of consumer must be so separated that buyers form one market are not in position to resell the commodity in the other. Markets are separated by :-
- Geographical distance involving high cost of transportation i.e.. domestic versus foreign markets.
- Exclusive use of the commodity e.g.. doctor service
- Lack of distribution channels e.g.. transfer of electricity from domestic use (lower rate) to industrial use (higher rate)
- The electricity of demand must be different in different markets. The purpose of price discrimination is to maximize the profit by exploiting the market with different price elasticities. It is the difference in the elasticity which provides an opportunity for price discrimination. If price elasticities of demand in different markets are the same , price discrimination would reduce the profit by reducing the demand in the high price markets.
- There must be imperfect competition in the market. The firm must have monopoly over the supply of the product to be able to discrimination between different class of consumers, and change different prices.
- Profit maximizing output is much larger than the quantity demand in a single market or section of consumers.
Price discrimination can be justified if it is practiced by government for the purpose of bringing social equality or to promote specific activities in the society e.g.. railways, controlled by government, charge lower fare from children and student on their academic tower etc. But if price discrimination is practised by private sector to exploit consumers and increase their own profit margin, then government should device legislative measure to control such activities .

Why did the equal rights amendment fail to pass?
The equal rights amendment failed to pass because it was not ratified by enough states by the deadline it was given to become a constitutional amendment. Also the arguments were given that it would have been pointless, because it supposedly would not have provided women with any more rights than they already have under the Constitution. And that its passage would have had far-reaching implications, ruining traditional distinctions between the sexes. According to this criticism, women would have been required to register for the draft and would have to serve the country, just as men must. Also according to this criticism, the ERA would have removed legislatures that specially protect women, such as labor laws in heavy industry. Some women in the 1970s feared that passage of the ERA would prevent them from being favored for alimony and custody in cases of divorce.

What is pricing discrimination?
Price discrimination is the practice of charging the highest price to different consumers. This is so that the firm can maximize the revenue it receives for the goods it produces. Price discrimination is mainly for markets that are monopolistic, or oligopolistic. In these kinds of markets the firm has to decrease price in order to sell more of the good because they are the only supplier. Because of this marginal revenue is derived from the demand but the profit maximization condition is still marginal cost equals marginal benefits but marginal benefits does not equal the demand curve. The firm wants to price discriminate in order to avoid the decreased revenues because of the lost revenue because they have to decrease prices to get more consumers. One of the biggest problems in practicing price discrimination is that the firm needs perfect information in order to maximize the returns to price discrimination. Finding this information could be very costly to obtain, or could be realistically impossible to obtain.
What are the various types of price discrimination?
Price discrimination refers to when the same product is sold for different prices, no associated with changes in cost. There are three types of price discrimination.
1st degree: Different prices are charged to different customers, based on their perceived elasticity of demand for the good.
EX: black markets, market places, auctions, etc.
2nd degree: Product is available at a lower per-unit cost than was previously advertised. This includes companies which sell packages of a product that are deemed to be surplus capacity for a lower per-unit cost, or companies which sell larger quantities of a good at a lower per-unit cost.
EX: Buying in bulk (wholesale warehouses like Costco), airlines selling off last-minute seats that have not been bought for a lower price, etc.
3rd degree: Price of product varies by location or time
EX: Price of gas lower in rural communities, more expensive to fly south during the winter, etc.

Why do ghetto people make so many gangs?
It is because of many reasons. People who grow up in ghettos more than likely have a hard time in life with family, finances, schooling, gangs, and more. Because of these problems, some look to gangs as a family unit to make up for the absence of family at home. They look to gangs as a means to make money with criminal activity, and a way to be taken care of. They look to it as a way to learn the streets they have to live with everyday and since they may be falling behind in school, or they believe there is no way out of 'hood life no matter how well they do academically. They look to gangs because gangs may intimidate them into joining or else they'll hurt them and/or their love ones, or another gang is already harassing them, so they feel they have protection with joining up with another. And then there are those who just would rather cause chaos and do nothing more in life than that.
It should be noted that people from the ghetto aren't the only ones who create gangs. There are many suburban gangs as well.
