Although the status of women did not decline the brutal and evil ways of their husbands made life unbearable. Women still lost their job rights, were having their feet binded, and the religion was still Confucian. From the beginning of the Tang dynasty all the way down to the Song dynasty there was a major decline in the status of women; especially in religion, customs, and jobs. In the beginning, women had plenty of rights because the Buddhist belief system allowed women to have many rights but once the Song dynasty came in all that changed when the rulers changed the religion to a Confucian based system. Also, women were able to obtain high jobs such as an empress but toward the end of the Song dynasty few women had jobs because of their lack of education.
Reacting puts the customer in control, responding puts the waitress in control. Responding allows the waitress to keep her integrity and maintain a good outlook for other customers. The customer in this poem is obviously a bad apple. The waitress would be wise to not let the bad apple spoil the whole barrel. Chances are the rest of her customers will be pleasant and easy to serve.
They were part of the women life cycle, since many stated that they quit when they find a "beau" or get married. The dance hall culture changed by making "unescorted" women admission fees lower so to attract single women. In addition, the dance halls were a gathering of people looking for amusement and pleasure, so most "new" things in entertainment were tested there or developed there. On the contrary to many assumptions, the charity girls were not prostitutes since they didn't want money, but they wanted presents, attention, and other things that gave them pleasure. Some of them do it just for pleasure and others for financial support in the short term.
Rowlandson was pleasantly surprised by how nice the woman was to her. When it was cold they even offered her to come in and sit by the fire to keep warm, and gave her more food. They even offered to buy Rowlandson away from her master which is surprising being that they didn’t know her. That shows that the Indians she encountered were very compassionate and caring to Rowlandson even though they were strangers to

When Janie meets Tea Cake, a poor and adventurous worker, she knows that he is seen as an undesirable and unsuitable match for her: “Janie, everybody’s talkin’ bout how Tea Cake is draggin you round tuh places you ain’t used tuh” (112). Knowing that people saw Tea Cake as an incompatible match did not stop Janie from loving him. Janie understood societies view of him, but did not allow this to stop her from trying to find true love. Through Tea Cake, Janie learned that real love is feeling appreciated and truly desired, and that her past relationships were not love: “Tea Cake love me in blue, so Ah wears it. Jody ain’t never in his life picked out no color for me”(112).
A geisha is “a professional female companion for men in Japan, trained in music, dancing, and the art of conversation” (Collins English Dictionary). A great misconception about geisha is that they are commonly labelled as prostitutes. However in reality, they are “artistic persons”, as the term signifies (Grolier Online). Indeed “ritualized sexual display” is common throughout the novel, but in fact, many fail to recognize the importance of this Japanese profession (Brownstein 18). As a geisha, Sayuri does more than participate in this type of behaviour, and thus, this stereotypical attitude needs to be demolished.

For example, Marilyn Monroe was a celebrity in the past who was admired by many men and women. She displayed sex appeal but with taste and class.

I believe that the social influences of the visual entertainment media have had both positive and negative affect on our culture. I believe change is always good but not all that change that has been made over the past ten years.
