Women's Rights Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

In the book Emile, Rousseau borrowed a lot of thinkers that came before him. He had the arguments of John Locke on teaching and education. Still, he quite remarkably combined the arguments of the preceding philosophers to form a coherent and comprehensive teaching system. Using the medium of the novel, Rousseau was able to dramatize such that they reached a wide audience. Rousseau saw the system of education as married to nature that had characteristics of harmony, and concern for the learner as well as the learning process itself. The premise of this argument was the preservation of the original perfection of ...

The three periods of feminism development

In general, the history of feminism can be described as the narrative of the ideologies and movements which are aimed at establishing, defining and defending equal economic social and political rights for women. Feminists all over the world have always differed in goals, intentions and causes depending on culture, country and time. Irrespective of these differences, most western historians of feminist’s interests have always considered all movements and acts that push for women’s rights as feminists movements. History of the modern western feminist is divided into three periods of times. These periods vary slightly in their aims ...

Writing about the discrimination of women, Gearhart (1979) mentions that the act of violence in the one that rules a person and is the very fact of existence for a human. She singles out our understanding of human entities and non-human ones claiming that “we have been human chauvinists too long, calling consciousness out own, cornering the market upon it, setting ourselves above everything human because of our “higher awareness”. She believes that distinguishing between human and non-human objects changes them, and, as a result, becomes an act of violence: “The act of violence is in the intention to change another”(Gearhart, ...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Osonye Tess Onwueme’s “Tell It to Women” acts as a time capsule, taking the reader back in time to postcolonial Africa and a time or erratic feminist behavior. The book’s primary purpose appears to show the separation between traditionalism and modernism, as different cultures interacted and blended. However, this is not entirely clear until the end, when a concise meaning for culture is given. Tess Onwueme believed culture was derived from the passion that ignited the very culture’s desire to stay together, it appears. The familiarity of their arts, traditions, customs, and manners were all a part of the culture. ...

Evidently, the societal and political realm in the mid-nineteenth century was characterized by extensive dominance by the male middle class. However, this did not last long in that as the century approached, the ideas and actions of Freud, Marx, and the suffragettes challenged this, and advocated for women’s rights. The period after the mid-nineteenth century experienced the emergence of feminist ideas, which were fuelled by various societal transformations. Above all, economic transformations that were eminent in the period after the mid-nineteenth century fuelled feminism. Precisely, economic transformation resulting from industrial revolution resulted in the expansion of consumer markets, ...

Introduction:

It is no main feat to discover that the institutions of the state, the corporation and the family are institutionally masculinist especially in societies where the patriarch is of a dominant nature. This is certainly the case in the film, ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The main character of Lisbeth Salander finds herself consistently on the fringe of society due to her queerness and the fact that she is troubled also makes her something of a misfit. The investigation which is undertaken by Salander also exposes the hypocrisy and blatant untruths used by those companies and businessmen to achieve their ...

The societal inequalities and discriminatory practices have haunted the women folk of the society from the ancient times of history. In the wake of globalization and blurring of geographical gulfs, the patriarchal norms and practices have taken a more complex turn and have come up to threaten the position of women more vehemently with all the discriminatory devices in its arsenal.
In the article titled, ‘Interactive and Intersectional Analytics of Globalization’ by Peterson, one comes across the discriminatory practices which are in vogue in the economic domain of the globalized world. The hegemonic transcendence of the masculine over the ...

Question # 2

According to the journal, Pollit says that the future lives of our children are best described by feminism. I agree with her statement. Feminism is a women’s movement towards attaining better status for ladies in society. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was formed to look into ladies’ issues. The organization aims at developing a viable relationship between women, the work place and marriage. The rights of women and the rights of children are highlighted and met. In order for us to understand the point put across by Pollit, it is important to examine the position of women in the ...

Is Feminism a Right?

The issue of gender equality has always been a major subject of discussion both socially and politically. Feminism in particular encompasses the notion of gender position that has an eminent political tendencies. In the real world feminism is something that favors female in terms of social equality. However, feminism could also be viewed as a favorable recognition to females as more a more dominant unit of society. For example in politics, voters favor the female presidential candidate over males because of the maternal characteristics of female that makes them more nurturing than the opposite sex. In this case, the feminist society has ...

J. Ann Tickner: Hans Morgenthau’s principles of political realism: a feminist reformulation

J. Ann Tickner’s article provides an interesting insight into the feminist aspects of political realism. Particularly relevant are the criticisms of Morgenthau’s principles. However, despite the article containing intelligent and well thought out arguments, the formal writing style may serve to put many people off.
Referring to Morgenthau’s portrayal of the international system, Tickner claims that it is, “a partial description of international politics because it is based on assumptions about human nature that are partial and that privilege masculinity” (Tickner).
Tickner points out that masculinity and femininity are socially constructed and are not based ...

In the 2009 film adaptation of the Stiegg Larsson novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the character of Lisbeth Salander is an enigmatic, aggressive, yet troubled girl who rebels against tremendous oppression subjected to her by the government and corporations. The film is a very interesting and fascinating example of radical feminism, as evidenced through Lisbeth Salander and the things that happen to her and the other female characters in the film (Harriet, namely).

Radical feminism showcases a society in which women are oppressed primarily by men. The patriarchy is a male-dominated society that seeks to take advantage of women whenever ...

Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon by Pablo Picasso can be analyzed critically using both Postcolonial and Feminist approaches. Picasso was so much interested in African art as he felt a personal attachment to this art. In his Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon (Pablo 1907), he lines up (displays) women, especially for the potential customers, who in this case, are the males. This is probably at a brothel. In this image, some women are naked while others are wearing African masks. This reflects Picasso’s interest in African art. It also depicts the Westerns’ attitudes towards the non-Westerns especially the Africans during the colonial ...

Examining Bell Hook’s Contribution to Debates About Gender and Race

Introduction
The dawn of the 20th century paved the way for the second wave of feminist where Bell Hooks or otherwise Gloria Jean Watkins emerged as among the most renowned thinkers that contributed to the debates about gender and race. Among the most notable contributions to gender and race debates are the theories that provided the standpoint for feminists. The myriad of claims encompassing in the debates on gender and race states that knowledge is something that is socially situated in ways that marginal members of the society particularly women can be made ...

Sandoval explains that color should d not be a determinant for all women whether black, poor or Latin to assume a political position. Differential consciousness encompasses radical and cognitive mapping and the major oppositional types of consciousness are determined by five main forms of the social hierarchy namely the equal rights; the revolutionary; the separatist; and the differential modes. Differential consciousness recognizes and incorporates all the other form of consciousness. The organization of resistance through equal rights, functional, supremacist and the revolutionary modes contributes to consciousness (Sandoval, 2000).The emergence of women movements in the 1970s and 1980s as a form of ...

Intersectionality theory awakens discourse on whether feminism is a universal whole, or a multi-layered facet. Indeed, as much as there is a lot of commonality in the feminist movement, the different aspects of ‘difference’ experienced by women, like race, ability, etc cannot be overemphasized. These aspects of difference call for a reexamination on the means of furthering the feminism cause. Should intersectionality of feminism include the many axes of life affecting women like the fight for minimum wage or homosexuality debates?
Carastathis argues that, “a productive alternative is theorizing the subjective conditions necessary for enacting a feminist politics of solidarity” (Carasthasis p.29).

Rabbit Proof Fence, a film that moves the souls of human beings is a real life heartbreaking story of three little girls set in the 1930’s that shows how the aborigine children were taken against their will from Jigalong and made to work for white families as servants or maids. Rabbit-Proof Fence provides a fundamental illustration of Australian aboriginal children and women as victims, and the government viewing them as passive with no individuality or culture. The concept of empowerment in culture is well defined by Banet-Weiser (Reading Popular Culture through Feminism, May 28 2013) where they argue that the emphasis ...

Woman suffrage is a movement that was established to give females the right to vote as well as vie for an electoral position. This became of significance when it was recognized that women also had a right to determine and shape the destiny of their societies. Culture has for a long time sidelined women in issues of governance as they are considered weak and incapable. After a series of events and even movements that were led by women. It was realised that women had similar capacities as their male counterparts only that they were denied the opportunity. Culture has always given women the ...

Main Argument of the Readings

Silvia Federici, Chandra Mohanty and Alicia Muszynski discussed in their respective articles the sociological facet of the inferiority perceived upon women. “Insatiable sexuality”, in the case of Federici, socioeconomic differences for Mohanty and race-gender stratification noted by Muszynski all point to reasons why women, under different classifications, receive unfair treatment. The three articles stand united in explaining that women received discrimination because of their biological sex and that it is a demeaning factor when added with other condescending characteristics such as socioeconomic conditions and race.

Personal Argument on the Readings

On a personal note, I perceive the connection between the three articles as highly characteristic of ...

Introduction

Feminism has in the past, created different perceptions, notions and ideas. The major ideas that have been discussed in several platforms about feminism include the role of relationship between men and women, especially in terms of gender equality, where feminists seek to have equal opportunities with men (Martin, Wood and Little p,10-24). These feminists believe that both men and women have equal responsibility and, therefore, should be given equal chances, which include equal pay for the same jobs, and equal considerations in employment opportunities. Secondly, the feminists have discussed in these platforms the privileges that are being taken for ...

Introduction

Literary critical theory is a complicated process - there are many different ways from which one can look at a story. The question remains, however, whether or not these readings are valid. Is the process of literary criticism a means of mental gymnastics, where theorists can force a reading into a text like a child pushing a square peg in a round hole? Looking at the various theorists who make up the most prominently observed members of the literary critical canon, it becomes clear that the act of reading itself is an interactive one, with the reader bringing just as much into the experience of reading as ...

- Equality issues that trade unions should address
Promotion of equality at the work place is one of the key functions of trade unions. The main priorities that trade unions bargain on are pay packages that are offered to workers and the terms and conditions under which the workers carry out their duties. The framework that governs the employer regulation has been strengthened over in the years in countries such the United Kingdom, United States of America and Denmark; it is often the prerogative of the employers to interpret the statute law. The trade unions are a powerful force ...

The convention at Seneca Falls New York was the initial convention for women’s rights. It took place in 1848 between July 19-20. The convention’s purpose was to speak about the civil, religious and social rights of women. By 1850 there was the initiation of a series of National Women’s Rights Conventions that met in Worcester, Massachusetts. These events would continue until the Civil War began in 1861.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and local Quaker women organized the event. They had planned the event to take place during the time that the female orator Lucretia Mott was going ...

Introduction

Karen Warren coined the term “Ecofeminism” in explaining the logic of domination where the notion of people’s control over nature as a whole is wrong and for the same reason that the subordination of women to the will of men is also wrong. According to argument, feminists should object to the idea domination because subordination of women and domination over nature both represents the logic of domination. On the other hand, the asserted claim of twin domination encompasses several issues. In this discussion, Warren’s logic of domination and the concept of ecofeminism will be examined by explaining ...

In the wake of the height of colonialism and imperialism on the world stage, in which it was socially acceptable for more powerful social and economic powers to control less powerful nations, post-colonialism as an academic discipline has risen. Here, the issues surrounding colonialism and their effects on modern society are investigated in depth, emphasizing the human consequences of these cultural legacies. Through the help of theorists such as Chinua Achebe, Barbara Christian, and Henry Louis Gates, post-colonial criticism seeks to investigate exactly why certain subcultures (usually pertaining to race and gender) have certain connotations attached to them, and ...

1) This is something a structural functionalist would say. In structural functionalism, a convoluted system is created that establishes patterns of behavior and attitudes that contribute to its continued existence. In this example, the relationship between individuals and consumption is discussed, as people consuming at the level they are entirely determines just how the system is upheld. If people want to change that system, they have to change their conceptual role in the structure, and find a way to change the structure to keep it stable. If people want to consume fewer products, they have to find a way to make sure that ...

The writer of the article (Aviva Dove-Viebahn) tries to give a review of a television series known as Mad Men. The series setting is in the last century, the 1960’s. I actually think that the title of the article should be “Feminism in a Man’s World”. This is because there was zero level of gender sensitivity at the time. Women were not held with esteem at all. We can argue that we have come a long way since then, because Americans are now more gender sensitive.
Aviva’s remarks, in “Feminism in a Mad World”, makes clear the stereotyped activities women ...

This classic story which was first published in 1892 is typical of Charlotte Gilman who describes a young woman’s descent into neurosis and psychosis with alarming reality and stark detail. Principally, the story focuses on the girl’s fixation with her surroundings which intermingle with the declining effect on her health. This is all brought about by her husband’s wicked decision to confine her to a room in solitary presence where she is forbidden to undertake any sort of mental activity, this may include literary or other similar pursuits and this type of situation literally drives her mad. This ...

Cassandra is a novel told about the survivors of the Trojan War. It is the story of a young woman named Cassandra, and her struggles during the post-war era. There are many different ways to analyze literature, but one of the leading literary analysts, Gerard Genette, has provided an extremely useful method for analyzing novels like Cassandra by Christa Wolf. Because Cassandra does not have a coherent or cohesive timeline, and rather jumps about in time with little warning, special types of literary analyses must be applied to the text to truly dig into the meaning of the multifaceted text.

Introduction

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition”, said Marilyn Monroe as she was defining the power of women thru their charms and presence, and not thru equal work with men. This concept, according to which femininity is the aspect that most empowers women in relationship with men was developed in various writings of the nineteenth century and comes as a contradiction to the binary relationship man – woman, which suggests that woman is placed on the negative side, as she is disempowered. Three novels, “The Awakening” (Kate Chopin), “Mrs. Spring Fragrance” (Sui Sin Far) and “Maggie: A Girl ...

Advance an original interpretation of two images, considering the images in the context of a historical moment or cultural phenomenon.

The logic of advertising requires a clear goal. One’s physical appearance is determined by one’s body and one’s apparel, and both of these are fodder for perceived judgment by advertisers. Western fashion has seen upheaval in the past century, resulting in a lack of clarity in what apparel represents success. It is primarily this loss of homogeneity which has resulted in a greater focus on the body in beauty advertisements, despite claims that the trend is a backlash against feminism. Having ...

Objectifying Song: Drake- “Hotline Bling”

Drake’s 2015 song “Hotline Bling” contains sexist lyrics that objectify women and effectively imply the technique of slut shaming and male dependence. The overlying theme of these song is the idea that this woman has lost all of her self-respect because her boyfriend has left her, showcasing the objectifying idea that men are responsible for the identity of females. When he sings this song, he is implying that men are dominant in romantic relationships and women make decisions about their morality and their respectability based on whether they are single or not, out of respect to their boyfriends.

Toni Morrison’s novel, Song of Solomon focuses on the lives of one, black family unit and in particular, the novel’s central protagonist, Macon ‘Milkman’ Dead III. The novel presents women in a number of ways: as victims, as being in adoration of men, as nurturers and as ‘Earth Mothers’ who embody the plentiful nature of the Earth. This limited view of women is presented in terms of the limited options that ex-slave, black women had. A feminist reading of this text would also need to incorporate a reading of gender relations within a black community as women, and in particular, ...

Since the beginning of time people used to have various views and standards for the way that everything around them should be. Throughout the history there existed many examples of the expression of ideas contradictory to the norm and all terrible consequences of such actions.

It was mainly focused on the scientific world and the historic nature of the educational research. Any research was considered to be grounded upon one or more scientific achievements that had to be certainly ...

Sex and sexuality is one of the most important issues pertaining to women and gender studies. While sex refers to an individual’s gender, sexuality refers to an individual’s expression as a human being, which begins at birth and continues until death (Weeks 9). Sexuality is also defined as the relationship between an individual’s gender role and identity, body image, sexual orientation and relationships (Weeks 7). In other words, sexuality constitutes an individual’s values, attitudes, behavior and knowledge, and is mostly influenced by the family, culture and society. Some of the major sources of sexuality are ...

The question of gender imbalance and unfair advantage in the society elicits varied forms of behavior in the social environments. Feminism often seeks to unravel the gender inequality that is subject of modern day workforce. Women have been subject to undue treatment in the society due to the elementary factors that pit men as superiors. As evident in the fast food industry, the workforce epitomizes the social setup that does not regard value to human equality and justice. Many employees are engaged in long hours of work with unsubstantial rewards. Women are normally reduced to chores that conform to ...

If one delves deep into the course of human history, it would be understandable that the forms of human communication have been developed and transformed over the ages. While verbal communication has come to become the widely accepted and used form of communication among people of the society, kinesics or body language holds a place of paramount importance when it comes to communicating as well. Often it has been seen that the nonverbal form of communication are used for subversive actions by people so as to register strong protest. Now, it needs to be noted that such body language ...

Human communication in the society can take the strongest form if a person involves kinesics along with the spoken language. The physical domain of existence provides the scope to the individual to use verbal and non-verbal communication in unison to communicate some idea or matter. Now, the physical attributes that are used in such communication can very well be subversive in nature. One needs to delve into the matter in context to explore how the physical gestures work as symbols of subversion in various situations so as to accentuate the vehemence of opinion and expression by the individual engaging ...

New theoretical approaches to the study of history have led to a major shift in the way we perceive political history leading social scientists to question the findings based on the old approaches.
The new approaches have revolutionized our study of history, further proving that history in itself is not merely a study of the past but is also a living art subjected to the changes that occur within those affected by it. These new approaches have evolved perhaps due to the need to ensure that even generations that did not partake in the major historical events of the ...

As a visionary writer, Atwood has authored many books. What is common in Atwood’s books is that she attempts to put across one message over and over again. This is the message on the woman’s voice in the society. Atwood effectively passes this message in a unique manner by reconstructing her version out of ancient myth stories. Old pieces of literature were synonymous with stories of feminist exploitation. The society of the time was characterized with giving a woman no chance whatsoever. They had no say in most society matters even by a little ...

Culture encompasses all spheres of life. It constitutes the building blocks of what a society subscribes to in terms of norms, morals, values, customs, attitudes and beliefs. All these social and cultural factors shape our world views and forms our belief systems as individuals, which, in turn, motivate our behavior. Culture affects our perception of occupations as much as our biological make up does. Due to the cultural diversity that exists between the occupational beliefs of different individuals, it is necessary for employers to understand the concept of occupation equity. This refers to the variability that exist between the standards ...

More specifically, it is the study of these interactions as they apply to each other, to the society as a whole and the effects of these multiple systems of discrimination and oppression.

Various groups that may or may not share members are nonetheless subject to the same forms of discrimination. The theory of Intersectionality seeks to examine how these various biological, cultural and social categories ...

The article on Joeys’ problems tries to relate the life of the modern professional women who is raising a family and balancing work and family.

In Virginia Woolf's literary essay "A Room of One's Own," the author explores themes of feminism through the viewpoints of a narrator who has a unique and principled view of how women are represented in the world. Throughout the text itself, Woolf denotes many things that have held women back from holding positions of power and wealth, as well as granting them agency in society. This point then extends to the limited and restricted body of work that women are allowed to have, seemingly due to the inequalities presented by a patriarchal society. This text sheds some light on feminist attitudes toward ...

Arguably, Mary Wollstonecraft can be said to be the “Mother of feminism” or rather “the first feminist”. As a matter of fact, most of her work focuses on the education as well as the rights of women. For instance, a Vindication of the rights of Women is a good example on how she focuses the status of women in the society and it displays pure thoughts of feminism. Undoubtedly, most people interpret her work as well as life in different ways depending on the perception of the writer as far as the equality of women is concerned. On the other hand, Jeans ...
