It brought coursework as a major part of most subjects with it. Mitsos and Browne it brings an advantage to girls as they spend more time/care on their work and are better at meeting deadlines. Sociologists argue these characteristics and skills are the result of early gender role socialisation in the family. Due to this, Gorard concludes the gender gap in achievement is a “product of the changed system of assessment rather than any more general failing of boys”. However Jannette elwood argues that although course work has some influence, it is unlikely to be the only cause of the gender gap, as exams has more influence on final grades than coursework.
Women in Hinduism In Hinduism there are many aspects one has to consider that differ from other religions: for example what role women play and how they are portrayed. Furthermore, in Hindu religion there are many traditions that have not changed over time, thus, many restrictions still exist among women. Though, there may have been some changes over time due to modernity and technology, Hindu women have yet to gain a proper place in their society and are still not on par with women from different societies. Hindu women have been portrayed in Hindu literature throughout their history as people of high stature to being of the lowliest status people around (Narayan, 2005). Hindu women from higher castes are expected to have more restrictions and expectations placed upon them.
Week 7 Assignment 2 Through history women and the GLBT, community has been looked down upon as inferior to men. As time has proven to be a good thing for women especially the last decade because it has been a time of great advancement for women in the workforce and the outlook that society has on them. I think that people in the United States are also becoming more comfortable with the GLBT community. More people are able to express themselves for who they really are and people are becoming more open to the idea of love without limits. I think it is important to look back from where we have come and see the progress that is being made from where we started to where we are today.
Ages ago, this religion provided the groundwork for promoting the status of women. Sadly, this is a lesson that still remains unlearned in our modern world. Women have always played an important role in Daoism, as teachers who have influenced the development of Daoist teachings and as goddesses, the principal embodiments of feminine yin energy and the necessary counterparts to masculine yang energy. The significance of goddesses is most apparent in the divine mother figures, special protectors of women, and childbirth. Their worship, however, was not limited to women; in fact, they had an equally strong male following.
Emphasis is placed on freedom, thus such cultures have high levels of mobility. In Non-Western societies however, they are less mobile and there is less opportunity to interact with new people. This is reflected in relationships, which in the West, tend to be down to the free choice of the individual but in Non-Western societies are often linked to family ties and economic resources. There is research evidence found that suggests arranged marriages can work well in such societies. For example, Myers reports that Indian women from arranged marriages reported no less marital satisfaction than non-arranged marriages in the US.
Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.
Madhumati, Gulabi, and Shakuntala were three of the main women within the ashram that the movie focuses on. Madhumati, Gulabi, Shakuntala, and Chuyia are four different generations of women whom all struggle to find a medium within their lives. These four women represent the traits of each generation, whether it is through strict beliefs, close-mindedness, respect, honor, or prematurity. Each woman struggles to stay tied to their beliefs because their generations expect different things from them. Some profusely follow the Hindu beliefs of how widows should be, while others simply wish to live their normal lives once again.
Assignment 1 Legal rights and privileges of women in Blackstone’s day with those of American women in the mid-twentieth century bear no resemblance. Over the years women have fought long and hard to be able to obtain and maintain legal rights and privileges that the male gender is born into. Females were molded and primed to play the part as an obedient wife and mother with instruction that your thoughts and opinions are kept to yourself. The perseverance of brave women helped today’s generation of women such as myself have the same equal rights as that of men. During the Blackstone era women lost the limited amount of rights they did possess when they got married for example; “that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended
Role of women until 1500 “Women Past Lived” Erin Snider World Civilization I Martha Stillman September 21, 2009 Women Past Lived Page 2 Women today have status and rights because of the women of yesterday’s many societies breaking through obstacles of extreme measures. Even though culture around the world differed in religion, dress, language and a few daily rituals there were many similarities that connected the way of life. The role of women in every society through early times including Roman, Medieval, India and China mostly ruled there women as inferior to their men and were unable to have many rights. Women were usually uneducated; unable to vote some of the case they hardly left their homes. The
Monica Gonzalez Religious Studies Professor: Matthew Bingley Women & Tradition Throughout the history of religion, women always carried some kind of role in the tradition of that religion, whether restrictive or liberal. In many of the religions practiced today, women had somewhat of a restricted role, since many religions are seen still today as patriarchal. In monotheistic tradition, whether it be Judaism, Christianity, or Islamic, women were looked at as heroines in some cases, leaders in some scriptures, and intellectuals. However, women were also under restrictive rules, seen as inferior to men in these traditions, even when they are to be seen as equal to men. Before Jewish tradition though, when polytheistic religions were more
