In Confucianism, society had unequal relationships because females had to respect the males because it was believed that males were more superior to men. Buddhism however, believed that women women should be given more freedom, and it was allowed for them to enter monasteries unlike in Confucianism were the women had to stay home, and take care of their family. Another notable contrast between both of these beliefs is the way they view government. Their perspective was important because they affected society in different ways. Confucianism favored the foundation of government, and eventually became the central belief of the chinese government.
She charmed him by rolling her self up in the rug and had herself delivered to Caesar.

She proved that women deserved the same amount of pay that men were making. Equality was a major thing back in the day because equality meant that everyone was equal regardless of race, sex, and age. Women didn’t have any say; they felt used and felt like another body to the world, until Susan B. Anthony stepped up for what she believed in. After years and years of protesting and speaking in front of audiences, Susan thought the republicans would have given their support for
AJP Taylor, for example, argues that the war ‘smoothed the way for democracy’ and so there are other factors of significance, such as, suffrage campaign groups (WSPU & NUWSS) and growing equality with men. Whilst this essay will recognise the importance of the view that WWI was significant to women receiving the vote, it intends to argue that AJP Taylor’s analysis is best supported by existing evidence and as such is the most accurate view. Paragraph 1: Isolated factor (WWI) In this paragraph, you should be showing balance but ultimately arguing that even though WWI played a role in women gaining the vote, it was NOT THE ONLY REASON. In 1914, when the First World War broke out, men were required to fight for King and country.

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
Robin Chalme Women in Chinese History Paper #1 9/28/2014 In Chinese culture, family is held to the utmost highest importance. This is due to the fact that approximately 2,500 years ago, Confucianism developed the tradition of filial piety, or virtue of respect for one’s parents and ancestors. Filial piety aimed to honor one’s parents and participate in good conduct, even outside of the home, in order to bring a good name to one’s family. Filial piety became deep-rooted in Chinese culture, so much so, that in turn, Chinese culture became a patriarchal society. Society was also based upon the joint family structure, a family consisting of not just the married couple, but their parents and grandparents.
Stanton describes very logically, how an individual self is the head of establishment, an important part of a general society. These ideas still apply today, in America, and around the world as women still fail to receive equal rights in many aspects. “The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives: in the religion she is asked to believed; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions; where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because as an individual, she must rely on herself”. Stanton emphasizes on being self-dependent, being able to rely on oneself. The idea of individual development, of every man and woman as equally important.
Laws are enforced in the community which is to further let it be known that the husband is in total control over his wife. Even though the most powerful goddesses and gods are women in the Hindu religion the women are expected to fill subservient roles.
