The Glass Ceiling

The definition of a glass ceiling is an invisible barrier that determines the level to which a women or other member of a demographic minority can rise in an orgainization.
Although the expression of the glass ceiling is a metaphorical phrase, many women and other minorities find it very real when confronted with it. It is a sexist attitude that is found often in a male dominent organization that is geared towards females. In regards to the corporate ladder,it sets a limit to how far someone can advance. Sometimes it is real and sometimes it is implied that it is impossible to break through. I feel that in this day and age, where more women are becoming increasingly successful, in some cases, surpaasing the success of their male coworkers, the glass ceiling is diminishing. The fact that we almost had a female president and that we do, for the first time in history, have a non-white president is proof that the glass ceiling may someday be completely shattered!
