Women in the Workplace: Progress Made in 50 Years, but More to be Desired

Women’s roles in the workplace have changed over time, from 1970 to 2010. However, some things have not changed. To this day, gender stereotypes play a role in our culture. Some jobs considered to be reserved for men in 1970, such as computer programmers and electricians, appear to be reserved for men today. These fields have the same number of women working in them in 2010 as they did in 1970. There is still progress to be made.

The Bridgestone Arena

The Bridgestone Arena is the home of the Nashville Predators. However, the arena also has space for music and other types of performances. Concerts featuring genres from country to heavy metal are performed at the Bridgestone Arena every year.

The Country Music Hall of Fame

The Country Music Hall of Fame has a museum with exhibits showing what country music was like in the past and how it has evolved into what it is today. Some of these exhibits are temporary, while others are there permanently. The content of these exhibits ranges from traditional museum display cases containing artifacts to vintage video and sound recordings.

The Schermerhorn Symphony Center

The Schermerhorn Symphony Center has been the home of the Nashville Symphony since 2006. The building is known for its unique design and superior acoustics.

The Schermerhorn Symphony Center also hosts other artists and performers. If you’re in the mood for some good music of all genres, in a building designed to produce the best quality sound, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center is the place.

The Bottom Line

Nashville has a lot to offer in music and entertainment. Whether you want to go to a concert or a hockey game, there’s something for everyone.
