  1. The video was about differences in this case of this woman’s jobs because they didn’t pay them the same because of their kind and they were talking about a type of cycle or a list in which they could be replaced or changed with anyone and that they didn’t see the real value of them. Also they talked about how studio people really gets rich and how the talent just gets a piece of the profit. Also they talked about an example in which the actors were getting very little money although the company was getting rich and it was because there it was a discrimination.
    Then they talked about racism and one of them said that she decided to create her own company so she could have more control or she could decide how the things will be so it could be equal.

  2. They talked about the unfair pay for women for different reasons and they talked about how famous people are so famous and recognized and that when you work the money that you get should match the effort you put in your job. The most important part of the video for me was when talked about the valueof your work in your job

    This video is about 4 women that are debating why are women having problems with getting equally paid in their jobs, and why are not getting paid like men are.
    My opinion is that…
    People belive that woman are weaker, or even useless for some jobs, the gender is not obstacle to work hard or to do what a man can do. We’re all equal and the only difference is that some people want to be their best and to be a superstar, and they fight to do what they want, but some people want to do something but they just never do it, that’s the only difference, the effort to do the things, and to want to be better than anyone but with humility.
    We have to get the most of every opportunity we have.

    The video was about the oportunity that women has in this case work, nowdays for women is difficult to obtain work because of skin color, of where they are and all, they said that sometimes the amount of money that you deserce was not he correct amount that they where giving you and the boss or superior where like "well if you don't do the work because of the pay, well there's a lot of people that want it" but that's not the case, the case is that you need to respect my rights, my effort my time and value that I have, You can said I do more that the other do or equal and the amount it's not, the point it's not get more than the other has, if not have an equal payment.
    They also talk about the actrees that for example the company has a lot of money because the move was very good but the actrees don't get the right amount of money but... why if she's the "star" she is the reason that the movie has so many spectators? well that's the problem is only bussines.
    Nowdays is less the discrimination that women have than previously was more discrimination, clasism and racism, women are speaking more and raising her voice around the world in order to be listened, we have the example of Malala a brave woman that fight for her rights.
    The point it's not be feminist is only to be equal not more or lower only an equal quatity ( in this case work).

  6. The video is about a debate where the actresses Ellen, Emma, Gina and Gabrielle talk about how they were payed in their job, they start mentioning experiences of what they lived. Gina talks about her point of view and say that she is happy about what she is doing but when she wants to gain more she can't in spite of the fact that she is doing the same job of her partner (because her partner is older than she and the other people in charge of the show said that "you're not worth that much as she was").
    Also Ellen says that the big corporations are who earn the most of money and express her disagreement about the mindset of the corporations.
    In my own opinion the justice, also the gender equality isn't applied as much as they want in the corporations where they think that the actresses have all the credit but that just want a well payed job where you earn what you deserve.

    The video is about how it is difficult for a woman to find work and how they are paid to each of them, for the simple fact of being kind, the money they give varies a lot. also tell the experiences that they have working in certain movies, one of them tells that although she was the star of the movie they doesn´t paid the same, or the right thing, just for being a woman

  8. This video is about 4 women’s that discuss different topics ,like the negotiation because people think that the money describe what type of person you are and that’s no true , negociación affects in some jobs because if you don’t want to give or you can’t give a deal , you need to go away even though you are really a passionate with this problem .
    The other topic they discuss Is about freedom because you have the liberty to chose and give your opinions don’t care what other people say about you .We need to be good with others and feel important.
    And the last topic they discuss is the discrimination because nowadays people discriminate people and don’t let them work in some places just of their skin color ,religion , likes or dislikes or if they are tamale or male.
    The point of this video it’s that we can’t discriminate other persons , and treat others as we would like they treat us

    The video is a debate where four women, actresses in this case. They are debating/talking about the opportunities women have for work. They talked about how the color of the skin can make the difference of how much you will get paid because badly and sadly, it is very marked in our society that the people of color deserve less than the others and that is all wrong because all of us are equal. They also talked about how even the nationality can affect the payment and opportunities. Thay also mentioned that they do not want more, actually they are just asking for it to be equal.
    My opinion is that women, men, everyone need to have the same opportunities, either in work, in life or in any other aspect.

    This video it´s to understand that nowadays people don´t be careful in the problems that exist around the world. One of the biggest problem that was mentioned is the inequality between men and women, for the simple fact of being women, the companies paid less than men although woman worked in the same place, the same days and the same hours.
    Another problem that they said were about the discrimination toward people with black skin, I think that we have the same rights and opportunities to be highlight in this life.

  11. The video was about a debate of four women who were discussing about how the women and some other men have low wages just because of stereotypes

    They mentioned something in the video that made me to feel too identified, they talked about opportunities in life and how some people waste them. “If life gives you lemons do lemonade” I think that they are completely right in this aspect.

    They also talked about how the women were victims of the lack of equality of gender, and one of the “discriminations” they receive nowadays is that they don’t receive the same payment than men. The effort of any person in their job should match with the salary they are going to receive.

    In summary, take advantage of the opportunities that life gives you, stereotypes can be too bad and problematic, and finally we live in a machist society in which a man receives more money than a woman doing the same thing/job.

    This video is about many topics that are related to the equality of work for men and women. These famous actress are discussing about the pay inequality for women and also people who discriminate the persons just for where they come, for example white women are paid more than black women and Asian women are paid more than Latinas women , the same problem goes with the men. Also, the video talk about negotiation how people negotiate with their bosses to increase their salary. I admired these 4 women because they are talking and giving their own point of view about inequal salary so they can defend human rights and promote the equality and inclusion.

  13. The video was about 4 actresses that were discussing about the different payments that they received in some Tv shows or movies and how the payment were based in stereotypes and discrimination against the women (also they explain how they carried on in that situations) they started explaining some anecdotes of what they felt and lived. Also they talked about the equality, they are frustrated because they have to take care of their children and their family, they are angry because they aren't paid just like the male actors, they are paid less!! and in the ambit of discrimination Gina said that her family was discriminated because for being latina and Ellen added that she was discriminated by her skin color (racism).

    In my opinion, we have to do justice and start being equal to everybody without discriminating and excluding others. The women have the same rights as the men so we have to receive the same payment as the men and we cant discriminate anyone

    it's about 4 actresses talking and complaining about why they pay less, if they do the same job as other actors, they talk about racism black women and latin women, and the other 2 talk more about sexism (sexism is when you discriminate against someone only by its gender)
    in my opinion they are right, only if it is the case if they do the same job and have the same acting skills, if not then no

    The video was about four women complaining or debating about why they get less paid than men and white women.
    I think they are absolutely right because all women are the same and they are worth the same things. Not only all women are the same but women and men too. All women, no matter if they are latinas, colored, white, etc., deserve to get paid the same amount of money if they work in the same thing, the same hours and in the same place.

  16. I think that the things that owners of series or movies need to consider to pay an actor are the time that the actor or actress invert to make that movie or series, and the ranking that they give to the movie. But, if an actor and an actress made the same work and gave the same ranking to the movie, the owner will need to pay equal to both people because they make literal the same work and is unfair that the actor win more only because he is a man.

    Wow, this video almost ,make me be lost of words. The energy on set was very powerful because they weren´t only taking about unfair experiences that they have been through, they also talked about that they have been through, they have also talked about that everyone ( women, men, blacks, whites, latinos, etc.)should be treated equally. My respects for them, because they have the courage to share their honest opinion about how is treated people still today even though they could risk their positions. Also they know what they are worth and do not let people treat them or pay them less than what they deserve. Seriously, they are amazing women and I hope there are more people with this kind of mindset

  18. This video was actually about how women (and also some men) don´t receive their right payment. There were four actresses very different but with the same opinion. They talk specifically about how an actress didn´t get payed what they deserve; however, they also talk about how movie industry discriminates women, depending their skin, or their country.

    In the other hand, they mentioned a fact that is true not only in Hollywood, but also in any kind of job; I'm talking about how some women have to keep quiet just because their are getting payed and they are famous, and if they don´t take the job then another woman will take it, so they feel that they have to accept just because it suppose to be a great opportunity.

    In my opinion, this not only happen in Hollywood, this happens frecuently in every sisngle job, and women don´t receive the same money as a man just for their gender. This video help me to understand more about gender disctimination and also how can we (women) have to support each other in order to become stronger.

  19. I think this video is avery good example of how women in the world are being treated, discriminated for their religion, culture or even skincolor and it is a very good example to let us know what women and some men are being treated, i really like the video because they have very good arguments, thoughts and they tal with their opinion too, they talk about many facts on hollywood and how they job can be in risk just because of the opportunities pepole make, they let us know that everyone no matter what deserves the same things as everyone as we know

  20. The video shows the reality of nowadays, because it talks about inequality and how some people are millionaire only because how they are physically. another thing is that in U.S.A they pay more to the people with less experience than people that have talent, also that if you dont want to do something they simply call other person to make the job.

  21. This video is great because it talks about the fact that women are not paid equally for several reasons. The first reason that they started talking about is because they are women. In most places men receive a greater payment than women for the same work with the same amount of hours, and this is because they are men. And in this situations women are told to take that job because another woman would take it, that is why they end by accepting that payment. Another point that they made out was that black women are paid less than white women, asian women are paid less than black women and latino women are paid less than asian women. I mean, there is also a big discrimination because of races. And finally they pointed out that sometimes women are not paid equally with the excuse that they are going to win awards. But they said that they don't care a lot of the awards because they mainly care about the money; and this is reasonable because they need that money to raise their families and themselves. The only thing that did not make sense for me in this video is that I think this was not a debate because in them there are different postures and in this talk or discussion the four of them were in the same posture.

    Well, the video its about Ellen Pompeo, Emma Roberts, Gina Rodriguez and Gabrielle Union, who are debating about how the maleness is affecting the female population in the economic aspect, well, my opinion is that...
    Yes, there is gender un-equality in the economic aspect, and not only in the acting career, it also happens in other jobs, like waiter, firefighter (being fire woman, obviously), model, engineer, etc. and it is sad to see how men in the same job and status than a woman, i think it should be stopped in a world with this manly culture, but, with sufficient effort, and work, I think that it can be achieved.

  24. The video was about four women debating about how the differences between genres are still factors that affect how people are paid in their jobs. In my opinion, it is disappointing how those factors are still considered in this times. If a woman makes an effort to get a job and she wants to do her best, it should be rewarded just like a man that had the same path. Not only women but also latinos, chinese and black people are still paid less than other people in some places only because their racial characteristics and origin. I think that, people should not be qualified based on their origin or racial characteristics, people should be selected to work on a job and be paid based on their performance.

  26. Well, the video is about 4 womens called: Ellen Pompeo, Emma Roberts, Gina Rodriguez and Gabrielle Union. The video talks about how the stereotypes have benn changing through the years. In my opinion I never think that also in could pass for example when one of them saids that sometimes they feel that they get less paid only because they´re latina or from other conutrie.
    Also I never thougth that also famous people were having problems like that and also I get really mad when they said that there are times that they are threatened, for example they call you that if you start yelling about the amount of money that you are resiving you will get farewell because they have other options.
    I´m really surprised about that video, hopefully they can be reason tp stop that

  27. In this debate, there were four women, actresses, whose topic discussed is about how a person's effort does not recieve a fair and good reward due to his or her skin color or nationality. I mean, some people do not get money and work after, in this case, right performances. Even though they have had a much better work previously, they do not have the same levels of wealth than others who have.

  29. First of all, the video shows two of my favorite artists of all time, Ellen Pompeo and Emma Roberts, women who through their art on the small screen have taught me to see the world with a different perspective, full of possibilities , goals and triumphs.
    As they mentioned in the interview, sometimes these opportunities can not be had by some people due to the distinction of social classes, race, gender, religion, etc. Despite the fact that actresses like Pompeo are people with a very privileged position, they also suffer from trates like these. I really think that social issues like discrimination and wage disequilibrium should be treated more seriously, creating laws that protect all those oppressed by people who have power in their hands and do not want to share it with those who really deserve it.

  30. The video talks about the discrmination as a serious problem that affects to everyone, the effort that somebody does could not be appreciated by the society for being from China, India, Mexico, or any other country because of the place he/she comes from, and the color of the skin can be a factor of discrimination as well. We need to change the idea the society has about that, because everybody deserves a good treat and the opportunity to overcome any obstacle to be a better person.

  32. They discussed about the different salaries and what the women earns, they told that if girl earns less than a man and she don´t want that offer, they producers would say to her goodbye (I mean they only are going to choose another girl). Then they said that if you are a black woman you would be less paid; but that idea is wrong because all type of people have the same possibilities but not the same opportunities and we need to change that. Also they discussed that the TV shows need to have a cast that is like the real world (diverse) with all types of people. I like their answers and discussions because they were right with their opinions and all the white producers need to think like this way (with acceptation).

  34. This video talks about 4 women which is in discussion of the discrimination they do only because they are women and in jobs they pay less than men and it's a problem that many do not see. And in my opinion I think that if women make all the effort to get jobs they should be well paid just as men all have the same opportunities and we must take advantage of them.
    Also they mention another problem of discrimination because of its skin color and that does not make you different from others and that's why you do not get work, we're all the same.

  35. They are talking about the inequalities in the salary of women and men. Also they counted their experiences in their jobs. They said that there is a great difference of salary between women and men taking in count that they make exactly the same job, and that when they demand theyir rights, their bosses do not want to make justice. They are only demanding equality, but they do not see it like that. In my opinion, I would like a equality in salary if we are talking about exactly the same job, because if it is not like that, it is a kind of discrimination. The difference in salary is not only between men and women. This is a problem that have to be solved sooner as possible.

  36. "The Big Television Debate" video, was about a debate of four famous actresses Ellen Pompeo, Emma Roberts, Gina Rodriguez, and Gabrielle Union. They were talking and discussing how much money they earn in the entertainment industry and the injustice of the amount they pay to them. They said depending on your race is the amount of money that the companies pay you.
    In my opinion, is an injustice that the company stay with most of the money and paid a very little amount of money to their actors and actresses because as they said, the actresses are the ones who made the effort to the public can enjoy the content and with this, the companies get more money. So the actors and actresses they should earn more money from the company.

  37. The video talks about how the woman were not equally paid in their jobs. Currently, this is a reality that so much woman around the world have, because of the fact that some people things that their jobs has not a value. They mention that exist a difference betweet how many women and men are paid doing the same job. I think that this not only happen in the world of acting, as they mention, principally in the normal jobs. Injustice that had been going on in our contry since the disrespectful and dregrading treat towards the woman. Is important to fight for the things that we deserve and know that is important our contribution to the society.
