During that time, the expected role of men and women are different, men were expected to be a bread winner and women just expected to be a house wife. However, Ibsen believes these roles limit individual freedom and his play “A Doll’s House” explores the belief that duty to self in more important, and must come before duty to others. The beliefs in 19thcentury and values are different from now. In that time, women’s personal growth and freedom are limited. At that time, a woman’s life is just like passing from her father’s hand to her husband’s.
Soldiers have been a big part of medieval life for both cultures but the differences in their armies are quite small. For instance the Europeans and the Japanese both had infantry and cavalry units, armour and could hold positions of power in the social structure. Women in those times as well were quite simular for example they were valued lower than men, they do different work compared to men depending on the social class and were almost exchanged as currency in wedding contracts. Castles were a sign of power in both cultures and they both had the same general idea keep good people in and keep bad people out, they both had defences like slits in the walls for arrows to be shot out of as well. Religion was everywhere in both countries and they were both monotheistic with the belief in only one god, simular also was that they both built places of worship for them in this case Europe build churches while the Japanese built temples.
Controlled by a non-heredity emperor, which was chosen by the Senate, usually by predecessor. Rome developed a set of laws that all had to follow. In contrast, the Gupta Empire lacked political organization due to geography and focused more on caste membership and group allegiances also basing on military conquest. A similarity that these empires share is the organization of social classes. Also the acquisition and inheritance of property.
Additionally, in China, slaves were bound only to do the tasks assigned to them in a written contract; these contracts protected them by specifying exactly what could be asked of them and what they could not be punished for. Moreover, slavery was not a prominent institution in China, and slaves were usually peasants, criminals, or unwanted children that generally only performed
Therefore, democracy in most of the western countries takes place through a system of regular and competitive elections, universal suffrage and political equality. Classical liberals defended democracy on the basis that it was found on consent. John LOCKE developed a limited theory of protective democracy which argues that voting rights should be extended to the well educated, who could then defend their natural rights against government. According to Locke, if government can possess power through taxation, then citizen are fully entitled to protect themselves by controlling the tax-making body. The idea that franchise should be expanded to the illiterate and those who pay taxes was supported by James Mill.
The early human advancements of China and the Indus Valley both worked on a feudalistic political framework with a focal government. Despite the fact that the Zhou Tradition built legislative issues in light of the Command of Paradise and in the long run comprised of administrations. Both developments persistently put stock in polytheism, India accepted all the more in resurrection while China put more confidence in the spirits of their family. India and China both made strict class structures, China centered all the more on a patriarchal framework, India created a rank framework. Both human advancements, India and China, used a feudalistic political framework.
The reforms accelerated Japanese industrialization, a process started by the Europeans. The reforms abolished feudal system and allowed for freedom of the working class. This event was a turning point in the acceptance of western influence on Japanese culture because it changed how their society functioned. The acceptance of western technologies expanded the paid working class with the absence of feudalism. This is an example of how Japan originally culturally defied western influence, and did not defy with violence as India did.
Functionalist Murdock suggested as children we are socialised into societies shared norms and values and he believed that males provide the economic roles and females provided the expressive role. Therefore it is natural for women to play the expressive role in the household looking after the family’s emotional needs. However, radical feminist Ann Oakley argues that the role of the housewife is a social construction and isn’t linked to the female role. The housewife role makes sure that women stay inferior to men making it difficult for them have careers. Women carry out the triple burden in the household; the domestic labour, emotional labour, and paid labour.
It’s important to know about the past lives and how around the 1800’s the United States started expanding. One of the European ideas was John Locke, who was an English philosopher, and one of the Enlightenment thinkers. John Locke influenced Thomas Jefferson and also the Declaration of Independence. He maintained that people had Natural Rights to Life, Liberty, and Property. Locke had a social contract which meant that people chose their own government as long as the government agrees to protect their natural rights.
In the late 1800's and early 1900's, European forces moved into Asia with their imperialistic views in mind. Europeans used imperialism to take advantage of land and colonies in Asia, and control their economies and government. Britain,Holland, Germany and Russia were all big parts in the European movement to Asia. Since Europe enforced imperialism, Asia would have to submit to trading with Europe, allow mining and railroad operations, accept the laws that Europe made and had to accept Christian missionaries. When the Dutch had started taking over Indonesia the only ones who really put up a fight were the warrior tribes on the island of Java.
