According to the article, “Worldwide, adolescent girls are particularly unable to protect themselves against unwanted, unsafe sexual encounters, unwanted pregnancy, disease, and violence for many reasons. Educational is a limited opportunity, and, in turn, limits economic and professional opportunities” p. 102. In national plan, statistic proves girls from ages 16-24 years are parts of vulnerable population. Because they are sexually assault, their health issues as teenage mothers is at very higher risk for premature, low birth weight, and death. Their educational opportunity decreases, and the drop out of school is enormous because they are not encourage them as much as boys.
Based on Entry Denied, “Communities often focus on preserving cultural tradition through controlling the gender and sexual behavior of the women. At the same time, outsiders judge immigrants through stereotypes about the sexuality of the community’s women. Thus, immigrant women find themselves caught between the racism of the dominant society and the sexist expectation of their own community”. This is true for many immigrant communities such as the Arab-Americans. For instance, even though many of the Arab American women are required to cover themselves, almost all of them cover their bodies because they choose and not because they are forced to.
The women were frustrated and furious because of the salary drop. While these women were working, they earned about $16.50 a month which was a lot back then considering bread was only 5 for a dollar. When the women returned home and back to their regular jobs they were paid from $0 - $10 dollars a month, which was obviously a step back. Before the war, many people thought the women weren’t prepared or ready to take on these jobs; they were wrong. These women were what they
Also, her lack of intelligence has left her with no job and an inability to get a job. In the story, there are many reasons contributing to Jean’s feeling of emptiness and difficulty in her life. To begin, her husband, Ross feels as though he has married beneath himself, and he does not love her anymore. Their marriage was most likely caused by Jean getting pregnant with their son, which made Ross feel like he had to marry her out of force. In the story, Ross specifically tells their son, Kevin that he should try not to marry beneath himself because he will end up stuck in the same situation as him.
Appearance has always been one of the main factors of social rejection; therefore, those who appear to be different are those who are not easily accepted by others. Psychologists state that one of the most common reasons for social rejection is the appearance of aggression. “People may socially exclude others who are seen to be aggressive because they intimidate and instill fear for general safety.” (Li-Or 22) Students who are labeled as “emo” or “gothic” are generally those who are bullied and/or ridiculed in school. Stereotypically, these groups compose pain upon themselves, and possibly others, and believe in the dark attitudes of life. Since it is natural for humans to avoid and to protect themselves from any possible danger, it is no surprise that those students who come across as either hazardous or intimidating are alienated from the rest of the student
“I burst into tears.” Pickler says, “They thought I was not going to be able to do my job. They thought I would throw up or have a cramp. But pregnant women work every day. It just was not fair.”(Armour, 2005) Even though it is hard to admit, the society is a gendered society. Gender discrimination in the workplace did exist and still continues in one form or the other, this in fact obviously ignored by Summers.
Due to her domineering presence this meant that any chance that child A’s mother had of being able to fulfil her role as the primary carer was undermined and must have caused great stress and tension within the family unit. This is picked up on by the child who will often display negative behaviour just before a home visit in the hope that care staff will cancel it. This would remove the burden of saying she doesn’t want to go herself which she feels would be like rejecting her family. This finally leads me to the grandfather who would have been the only male to have been involved in child A’s development but he appears to have taken a very minor role and chose to stay in the background letting his domineering wife pull the family strings. This meant again that child A had no dominant male role model in her life and reinforced the grandmother’s matriarchal role.
The Bundrens have not form of civilized communication. They always end up disagreeing with each other. This has created intense barriers in their family life and has pushed away the possibility of being a normal family. In the novel, one realizes that Addie’s children resent each other and they are always competing for their mothers love. "If everybody wasn’t burning hell to get her there, with Cash all day long right under the window, hammering and sawing at that…" (6) Clearly from this statement, Jewel felt that his family was exaggerating the issue of Addie’s death.
One of the secrets held from society in Fahrenheit 451 is that there is a war about to happen in the outside world. They also never get to experience the love of a real family. The only family that Mildred considers her own is one on a television show. Mildred’s friends are thankful for the “families” they already have. Mrs. Bowles says how kids aren’t worth anything and that they are just a pain.
Mallard and the narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” were clearly trapped by society because of their gender and the roles that they would have to fulfill. Although it was not stated in “The Story of an Hour” if Mr. and Mrs. Mallard had children, we do learn as readers that John and his wife from “The Yellow Wallpaper” do have a child “….Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous” (480). The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” is clearly affected by the fact that another women is taking care of her child even if it just for a short amount of time while she is recovering from her nervous depression. Because at that time period women were supposed to take care of their children that was their job and to have another woman do it she more than likely didn’t feel like she was doing her job.
