A woman’s position in China during the sixteen hundreds was drastically different than that of contemporary Western society. Rights and recourses for women were typically one-dimensional, and were not often in their favor. At the same time, women were not ostracized from society, and the anecdotes in The Death of Woman Wang often demonstrate the way women were able to exhibit power and strength within their societal role. The purveying sense of what a woman’s role in Chinese society demanded was that of exemplarily virtue. It was her virtue that defined whether she was to be esteemed or denounced.
Is the narrator breaking free from oppression or merely giving in to a new oppressor? Thoughtfully expressed Katherine. One of the problems with trying to interpret gender relations in Native American literature is that many native cultures do not have the entrenched history of patriarchal domination that American mainstream culture has had. Many native traditions, by contrast, are far more egalitarian or matriarchal. How does this information affect how we interpret and understand “Yellow Woman”?
It was taught that women should not have any type of rule and no one should care about a women’s ideas. However, communism took over China in 1949, forcing gender equality. Women could now work, go to school and get divorces. Although much has changed for women, many of the Confucian’s ideas on women still influence the way women are treated in China today. Marriage in China before the evolution is a lot different than the marriage we think of.
It is inside that she is like not any Chinese girl I ever see.” Her statement gives insight on how the granddaughter may pass through the veil with her exterior as Chinese but her interior passes for American, a dual identities within one person. Through-out the story the grandmother either assigns responsibly for the granddaughter’s behavior to either the Irish wild side or her prideful Chinese side. It is a wonder does Chinese grandmother see her granddaughter exclusively one race or comprised of both making a whole
Michael Brunswick Martin W130 April 17, 20 Final Copy: CC Comparative Critique of “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” by Amy Chua “Mother Inferior” by Hanna Rosin: Tiger Mom vs. Tiger Mailroom” by Patrick Goldstein Amy Chua has introduced a unique way of parenting through her article “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior” in contrast to western practices. In response to her article, the authors Hanna Rosin and Patrick Goldstein have responded with a different point of view concerning the practice of methods used to educate individuals. As they present their arguments, we will better understand each writer’s position on the matter of education and their stance on how it is implemented in their articles but more importantly, how each perspective will ultimately affect a child’s view on the value of parenting practices concerning education. Patrick Goldstein has taken the stance of the ability to bypass the basic need of the pursuit of knowledge to further one’s career. The example of hard work or ingenuity would prevail in the overall scheme of things and using examples of individuals that have become successful with inventions or self-motivation versus ardent instruction, Goldstein’s stance on education is secondary to talent and the ability to form relationships that could possibly advance one’s professional status is more important than self-discipline through education.
Running Head: COMPARISON MATRIX PAPER -LEADERSHIP Comparison Matrix Paper- Leadership Grand Canyon University Estell Hinton April 4, 2014 Introduction This paper will look at two empirical articles that focuses on leadership styles and questions whether gender is a determinant factor in deciding how leadership is perceived in leader effectiveness, leader evaluations, and through turnover intentions.

She felt the first two groups were more honorable in comparison to the last two. The concept of socioeconomic status is very evident in her approach. McDougald points out that the “superficial critics who have had contact only with the lower grades of Negro women, claim that they are more immoral than the other groups of women.” Just because a woman doesn’t go to college and maintain a career does not mean she is corrupted or shameful. This shallow view of women is the same view that some White Americans had of Black Americans. McDougald was participating in the torment of her own race and she did it with selfish reasons.
In the Article, “Women’s Intimate Friendships and Other Affairs: An Ethnographic Overview”, by Evelyn Blackwood looks at cultures and their sexual practices and compares them to the Western world. Blackwood breaks down her findings into three sections. She takes case studies from same sex relationships among women in non-Western societies and compares them to Western society. She then goes on to explore how gender differences are treated and seen in other cultures. Lastly, she goes on to argue how sexuality is not a fixed label or identity and uses two case studies to make her point.
Through her translations of Comte’s work, the study of sociology became widespread as more scholars began to look at human behavior and how it affects both groups and society as a whole. As a woman, Martineau was one of the first female sociologists who studied society from the standpoint of social issues that were specific to socioeconomic and class status. It is likely that her gender, observations and theory of “evolutionary naturalism” (Hutchein, 1998) regarding social problems resulted in her being labeled as “a radical:” her work and observations were largely dismissed by patriarchal English society of the time (Vissing, 2011). Martineau’s evolution naturalism theory was based upon her views that evolution was the key to understanding behaviors and changes at all
