Endangered Biodiversity of Yasuni Yasuni Yasuni. In the language of the native inhabitants of this remote part of the Ecuadorean amazons, Yasuni means “Sacred Lands”; A pristine paradise of thick rainforests, rivers, lowlands and inland islands unrivaled in beauty, and living things where more than 700,000 hectares of the Yasuni National Park were declared untouchable by the government of Ecuador. Tiny Ecuador located on the Western coasts of South America, ranks third in the world in the amount of amphibians, birds and other species of life. It is recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a Human Patrimony, an inheritance for all of humanity and a place that is unique in the entire planet. Several very ancient tribes still inhabit the area located in the eastern Amazonian basin of Ecuador.
This can be shown in the ‘Proof of Marriage’ source as the phratry must accept that a child is legitimate, otherwise property will not be given to the son. However it can also be said that it is in fact wives who fear their husbands and not the other way round. In the Eurastophenes’ murder case, Euphilites laughed at his wife when she suggested he ‘mauled the maid which could indicate women were in fear of how sexually controlling their husbands could be and how they could still get away with it. In the Naerea source is also shows men can be abusive to women with little to no consequence as Phrynion gets away with his abuse towards Naerea. You could also view the violence as a cry of fear and other controlling behaviour could emphasise that.
The man who changed that was Henry VIII; he did this because he wanted to marry other people (Lucent, 10). He also killed the wives that he did not want to live with anymore because he did not like them (Williams,1). Henry was also good in battles and training. He also killed most of his children because he wanted a son to become ruler when he died. He did not like the daughters that he had because he needed people to take his role when he died.
A couple of examples are spousal murder and rape. (Gen 14 2012, p.24-26) Women who murder their husbands no matter what the circumstances find it hard to be treated sympathetically by the justice system. This is due to the historical cultural stereotypes of women and the Judicial Myopia of the judges and courts. (Gen 14 2012, p.23) Historically men are given greater latitude when it comes to spousal murder as women are seen as a man’s possession and any deviance from that is provocation. (Gen 14 2012, p.24) Women find it difficult to plead provocation as they are expected to be submissive whereas male stereotypes suggests it is acceptable to be aggressive and abusive to keep the women obedient and in her place.
A major reason is the belief of someone causing genocide is because they blame a group of people for problems in a country. Genocide exists in the form of abortion and in unjust laws. Genocide exists in abortion because many unborn babies around the world are being killed and not given a chance to live outside the wound. Unjust laws are a part of genocide because it takes away people’s freedom or causes harm to them. Genocide does exist today in countries around the world today like Darfur, Sudan.
Females in these countries are victimized usually by their brothers, uncles, husbands, and/or fathers. Women are slaughtered after they bring 'shame' to their family, this ideology suggests "blood restores honour". Women are targeted if they run away from home to elope, if they refuse marriage that the family declares is 'righteous', if a woman loses her virginity before marriage, if they are hiding their own acts of incestuous rape, or even if that woman is raped. In any family, each individual has the right to feel safe with their loved ones, to feel respect and love from their family members, and to feel comfortable with their family to obtain an expressive relationship. Unfortunately, this ideology blinds the cognitive process of family members as individuals value their own reputation and honour above the live of their family members.
The cycle continues with Grange’s son, Brownfield, as he brutally abuses his wife and children—murdering his wife in the end. Ruth, Brownfield’s daughter, is able to beat the odds and break the sequence of domestic abuse and racism. Several factors prompt the victimization of women illustrated throughout the novel. The main force is the need for male dominance and power, a desire that results from societal oppression (racism), which the African American men face in the South. All of the characters victimized by racism, as well as domestic violence, are negatively impacted.
In this region of the world women are unjustly punished in comparison to men. If a woman becomes pregnant after being raped, she could be stoned or caned to death. All that is needed for this stoning or caning to happen is a testimony of one male witness. While if a man commits adultery, there needs to be four male witnesses to the incident before the man can be punished. Also if a woman is considered to dishonor her family, they may beat or even kill her, and not be in any fear of being punished.
Research for this evolutionary explanation for aggression comes from Daly and Wilson who reported that men who had just been left, or believe that they are about to be left, commit a high proportion of murders of their partners, possibly due to the jealousy of potentially losing them to another male. This supports Buss’ argument that men are more distressed about sexual infidelity and that it evokes aggression related to sexual jealousy. Furthermore, Buss and Dedden criticize the
Suttee is a funeral practice in which the widowed women follow their dead husbands by burning themselves together with their husbands. Most women are constrained by their in-laws and are forced to do it. The British mostly are disgusted by this act since they don’t regard it as religion, but a form of suicide. It is clarified when they say “It’s savagery, like everything else in this country is savagery and barbarism.” (Jhabvala, 60) Another common term used is hijra. Hijra is a term that is basically used for masculine men with womanly features who dance for entertainment.
