Fear of being compelled to provide sexual services for the Japanese distressed the nurses intensely. "We felt sick; we couldn’t eat", Betty Jeffery wrote [29]. As they waited, Veronica Clancy said, to hear the "steps of the loathsome creatures" on the gravel path, "Nights were just hell" [30]. Pressure was increased on the nurses when the Japanese cut off all food rations to the camp until the nurses complied. The nurses felt the same anger as the other women prisoners at their own lack of power and the same repugnance to be sex servants, and as women in the military they had additional worries.
Some people have tried and done something about it and others have stay hidden. It is true that a desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man. It is by standing against oppression when people know that whatever way is available; they are still going to suffer, to live in a world that’s not oppressed and feel secured and how there are wars still happening due to oppression. Knowing that you are going to get oppressed either way, why not stand up and get your freedom? In the movie, “The Power of One”, a character named Geel Piet has always been suffering from the oppression by the warder named Borman.
During World War II, people who were citizens of the United States but were Japanese Americans were held in prison. Just for the fact of being Japanese, being this race was a crime. This was discrimination. Everyone was accusing them of still being loyal to their native country, ’’Japan’’. Americans were afraid of being invaded by the Japanese.
The gangs still operate in full force, despite the restrictions on where the gang leaders are location-wise. The communication with the outside gang members still remain, and “hits” are still made to those that cause a threat to the gang and its members. The video regarding the Pelican Bay State Prison support the idea of social structure theory due to representing an environment that creates a negative reaction in its prisoners. The prisoners of Pelican Bay all begin to engage in criminal behavior and adapt to their surroundings. In this situation, social structure is the most logical explanation for the behavior of the inmates and the remaining criminal behavior.
‘The woman is subject to man on account of the weakness of the nature.’ – St. Agustine. This saying is proven to be correct as the women were given the same brutal punishments as the men were. This made it difficult for women as they did not have any choice but to be brutally hurt like the men. Not only this, but the peasant women of the Middle Ages treated as toys which you could trade with other families. The noble women didn’t have life any easier, though they were considered lucky compared to the peasants.
Ethical Treatment of Prisoners SOC 120: Introduction to Ethics & Social Responsibility The life of detainees somebody may never realize. There are the individuals who mind not to recognize what goes on behind that wired wall. We discover that some individuals that are sentenced unlawful acts that they didn't confer. Some individuals might rather turn their heads to what really happens in a jail institution; in light of the fact that they feel it is no concern of theirs. Blameless ladies and men face a fiasco in life when they discover their selves incarcerated in such facility as these.
How offenders can build positive relationships in custody Relationships It is very important for maintaining a positive relationship between prisoners and those they have to have contact with, whether in custody or on release. If a prisoner has been mixing with other criminals whether outside of prison or in prison, and hasn’t got a very good role model in the community they come from, there is a risk that they may return back to prison because they reoffended, when they got released from prison. But if offenders have a positive role model outside of prison, for example family and friends, and inside prison, like the staff, then their chances of reoffending are greatly reduced. Prisoners might have an isolated family and friends and may find it hard to emerge back into society when they have been released. Unfortunately, it is very common for prisoners to have lost everything when they have been released for example their family, friends, job and their housing.
Another example of how violence increases the amount of conflict then there was originally is when Adrienne hit the Japanese soldier, even though she was seen as a leader and role model to some female prisoners. Another time when violence increased the conflict in Paradise Road is Captain Tanaka and how he treats the woman throughout the entire film. However, Captain Tanaka does not change and it is because he does not change that there has been more conflict created. The soap incident between Topsy Merrit, Mrs Tippler and the Dutch women. There was already an accusation made between Topsy and the Dutch when Topsy asks the women ‘How do we know they are dividing the food equally?’.
Joe Romano conveys this in his essay “Sacrifice, Solidarity, and Senselessness” by stating, “The fear that the village girls show when they see Nancy choose her slip of paper and the “general sigh” that the crowd exhibits fear that the village feels as it risks its youngest members” (Romano 849). However, this is where their caring ends, because the control of this group tradition is so strong that had Nancy been chosen the village would not have hesitated to stone her to death. Romano later writes, “This fear, however, does not clearly lead to a crisis of conscience; instead, the villagers release this fear by participating in a violent sacrificial killing that bonds the group in an act of solidarity” (Romano 849). The power of group persuasion is so dangerous because it causes people not to think for themselves.
All that chaos contributed to the male chauvinism we see in our current society. Women had to handle that change without any moral support. It is also important to remember the important role women took in both world wars. A “Jury of Her Peers”, demonstrates how hard marriage was for all women who did not enjoy their relationships. Women in those types of relationships were treated as objects instead of being valued as women of freedom which represent intelligence, compassion, love and beauty.
