Modernization And Western Cultural Values On The Social Status

Daughters of the women in small businesses get a chance to go to school and get an education due to the extra money the mother is making.  When women bring home money they are now a vital contributor to the family. Women increase the education for their daughters and sons due to the money being brought home from their business. Education is crucial to financial services which means a faster economic growth in their community and country. When the mother bring home the money she is affecting the family by providing more provisions, her children's education, and the economy of the all country all

Third world women are face with discrimination and sexism just like the women and men are in America. To further explain this, the first example are Asian-American women. Asian-American women have two “roles” that they need to be labeled as by their culture: docile or submissive oriental dolls (Kerber 735). If Asian Americans men, see Asian-American women taking on too much responsibility they are labeled as “unfeminine.” Kerber gives the examples of two sisters who have achieved positions of authority, but since they are minorities they still face the stereotypes society has placed on them. The sisters have rejected the stereotype that is imposed on them and are labeled other harsh names. Still giving labels instead of just seen as human Not

The third analytic presupposition that Mohanty focuses on is the results of the first two analytic presuppositions. She focuses on the political presupposition of the analysis itself. Mohanty expalins how Western feminist discourse creates a binary opposition between the third world women and the Western women. This is done by protraying the Western women as the “norm” and the third world women as “lacking”. Mohanty argues that Western women construct themsleves by constructing the average the third world women.

In America, everyone seems to be equal. We have moved very fast away from our past which was slavery, no gender equality and education. We are the most looked at country for everything, from military equipment to our strong economy. We are also looked as a very liberal country that some seek to be while others seek to destroy it. We are a first world country since we are very advanced in technology and important things like government and education, while other countries are third world countries because they do not have all the resources that we have in this country. In Chandra T. Mohantys’ article, “Under Western Eyes: Feminist Scholarship and Colonial Discourses,” we see how Third World Women are viewed by Western Women. She argues that women from third world countries are no different from western women; the only difference is that western women have an advantage with stronger economies. In “Can the Subaltern Speak?” by Gayatri C. Spivak, she argues that a subaltern will always remain a subaltern since they will never speak for themselves in their own tounge. Third World countries are not let to be alone because the Western world believes that they are not able to succeed and reach Western progress.

The macrosociology method that we are going to be talking about are the five social statuses that are viewed are, status set, ascribed status, achieved status, status symbols, and master status. Along with these social statuses Weber’s term of the three P’s apply, property which refers to wealth, power which is getting others to do what you want, and lastly prestige, which is your social status. Status sets refers to all the statuses or positions you occupy, such as being a mother, student, boyfriend, husband, and so on, it can change from time to time. Ascribed status is involuntary and they are earned at birth. For example your race, ethnicity, and gender, you cannot ask or choose, you are simply given these statuses. Achieved statuses are

Living in America, women’s rights are known as a sort of liberated revolution, whereas in other countries across the globe, the simplistic idea of self-importance in women is non-existent. For generations, harmful cultural practices have challenged feminist activists to conjure up a plan of action in the aid to help those women suffering in these countries. “In feminist legal studies, culture is often viewed as a deviation from the path of human rights” (Tamale, 52). The inequalities, such as patriarchy, persist all over the world, including the United States. Patriarchy, an overrated ruling of gender bias, is characterized as a practice in which structures social unions such as families and communities so that men control the resources. This has allowed men throughout history to exercise political, religious, and economic power over women. Unlike Western feminism, African and Eastern feminism has not come a long way in the aspects of improving the system of beliefs. Oppression of women through political, social, economic, legal, cultural, religious and military institutions needs a positive upgrade. The violence and rate at which women suffer, within these countries, continue to hinder the potential and benefits of social advances that women and girls could be achieving. If not provided with a probable solution and help of a forced revolution of women’s rights, the continuing war of gender equality will forever embed

The injustice of the everyday woman, in any part of the world, is a topic that demands to be seen and examined. There is no question that the implications in which most civilizations were founded were to the benefit of men and to the objectification of women; causing from the beginning of time the ideal and though of women as the inferior species. This concept has proven to be true in nations all across the world but in this article I will only be examining the provocation and conquest of the African woman. Although women were deemed inferior they have come a long way in proving that they are not only regarded as inferior to men but in some cases and instances we are superior. They have risen to this unseen challenge given to them at birth and raised with power and authority. Not only have they raised but they have cultivated new social implications for women. In South Africa, the cultural and social standards for women are at constant struggle due to the male dominated culture. In the post-apartheid state women, having no right to land, children, or money, are basically the properties of her husband and have no right to the basic freedoms that should be provided. Yet, things are rapidly changing in South Africa, it has become more female friendly due to the African political system changing; creating a wave of black feminism to gain momentum in the South African states. Yet, this is due to countless trials and tribulations on the backs of African women. I will

Because of the way gender operates in society and culture, the majority of those most affected by the connected systems of globalization and neoliberalism in nations like Indonesia and Vietnam are women. This is something various scholars, including Hawkesworth, might refer to as the “feminization of globalization” which is tied to some other systemic gendered processes. According to Hawkesworth, not do women make up 70 percent of the poor globally, but the poor are actually constructed as a feminized category, in how they are regarded as “dependent, subrational, and in need of direction” (23). This “feminization of poverty” (Hawkesworth, 23) means that the large group of people in the world who are both poor and women key targets for the neoliberal strategies of economic influence highlighted above. Moreover, many women are tied to dependents through culturally and socially constructed attitudes about gender that essentialize women’s ties to motherhood.

In such societies, the conservative laws and the prevalence of feudalism are the major causes of women’s exploitation and oppression. Durrani’s novel My Feudal Lord provides the description of such a society, as in the words of Srivastava:

Gender discrimination become one of serious disease in our society, and it is still increasing around the world. We easily see inequality in gender in our everyday lives such as at home, workplace, and school. However, we can’t solve this problem because in our natural law the men go out side to work, and the women stay home take care of their children. Therefore, in some developing countries, most of families invest on the male rather than the female. For instance, the male has more opportunities to go to school, the female must stay home to take care of families. Families invest more on their sons because “households without sons are more likely to participate in the pension program” (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 12). Some Asian families are more likely to have more son because they think that “raising a daughter is like watering your neighbors’ garden,” and raising a daughter as “ploughing someone else’s field” (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 11). Therefore, the female is still treated badly in some countries. In 1991, Crow Dog and Erdoes reported, “Her sister in law, Delphine, a good woman who had lived a hard life, was also found dead in the snow, the tear frozen on her face. A drunken man had beaten her, breaking one of her arms and legs, leaving her helpless in a blizzard to die” (p. 4). Indian women are not respect from people in their community such as Crow Dog’s sister was forced to sterilize even she did not want it. In addition, Crow Dog was hit many times because she held a

Gender role is the primary cause of gender gap and opportunity gap in a world-wide scale. The story of Azita in the same book by Jenny Nordberg is a clear emphasis of gender role being the largest obstacle against women development. After the Taliban came in, bringing along strict rules and limitations to women, Azita went from a highly educated young individual supported by both of her parents to being forced into an arrange marriage with her first cousin as his second wife. However, she did not give up her political passion and gained a position in the parliament but faced heavy pressure both from her husband’s family and the community. Her husband, being an illiterate son of a farmer, was not able to acknowledge and cherish her values

Women in Pakistan are more likely to face system subordination, where patriarchal values are embedded in local traditions and culture. Due to the interconnection of gender with other forms of exclusion in the society, the role and status of women cannot be considered homogenous. There is a great deal of diversity in the status of women across regions, classes, the rural/urban divide caused by the lack of socio-economic development and the impact of feudal, tribal, and capitalist social formations in women’s lives.

Being that discrimination in contradiction of females involving gender-based violence, reproductive health injustices and damaging traditional performs; left the universal form of dissimilarity. Females carry massive hardship throughout and after charitable emergencies. At least 30 centuries fund

Rodney finds in colonialism double oppression of women in the African society. Women were oppressed by the African traditional customs and laws. Colonialism has intensified the oppression of women, as men entered the money sector easily and greater numbers than women. Women’s work became greatly inferior to that of men within the new value system
