While he suggests how to kindly treat one race of women, he emphasizes on how to womanize another. The culture associated with “How to date a browngirl, blackgirl, whitegirl, or halfie”, believes that women will act accordingly, and should be treated based on their own culture and race. In “Girl” by J.Kincaid and “How to date a browngirl, blackgirl, whitegirl or halfie” by J.Diaz both authors describe how culture influences the outlooks, and stereotypes on women. The expectations of females seen in “Girl” revolves around a strict set of cultural rules for women. Through oral transitions the girl’s mother spreads the beliefs of their culture.
When Abelard addresses his letter to Heloise, he puts her name before his. According to Heloise, the man should have come before the woman. She viewed women as inferior to men. In the letter she says, “I am surprised, my only love, that contrary to custom in letter writing and, indeed, to the natural order, you have thought fit to put my name before yours in the greeting which heads your letter, so that we have the woman before the man, wife before husband, handmaid before lord, nun before monk, deaconess before priest abbess before abbot” (p.63). It shows that all positions of women throughout society could not have reached equal status with
Soon after, word about Hildegard’s lifestyle spread and reached other noble families who applauded her and decided to send their young female daughters to live the same way. In this cell, a small convent between these women was created where eventually Hildegard became the leader (Flanagan 3). For Hildegard, becoming who she was and accomplishing all that she did was not so simple. According to Flanagan, Hildegard had two main issues, “...first, she was a woman, and second, she was unlearned,” (44). It was not common for a female during this time to be educated due to their gender roles and restrictions.
It is extremely important nurses can do this in different ways such as verbally and non-verbally and uphold the Principles of Nursing Practice set out by the Royal College of Nursing as the fifth of eight principles is related to effective communication. Interpersonal communication is essential in the delivery of health information. Without it, health professionals would fail to assist and inform those without knowledge, in need of advice and support. Listening is significant when it comes to communication and is a key skill required by nursing staff. It is essential that patients know you care and want to help them.
In his work “The Canterbury Tales”, Geoffrey Chaucer took great care to have the narrator describe each of the pilgrims in much detail. One of these pilgrims was a Prioresse, Madame Eglantine. Just as with the others, the narrator observed her and displayed a portrait of her in the General Prologue. However, in addition to describing the Prioress, the General Prologue’s description of her also includes some irony. Madame Eglantine is a Prioress, which is another name for the head nun of a convent.
The only gender different might be that Buddhism had nuns and monks but they apply to making sure nuns are getting a chance to move up and take full vows is being worked and problems are being re-evaluated, with His Holiness the Dali Lama working diligently to assure equality is being met.

(Morris J) Nurse can do this by encouraging others to be sensitive to the individual preferred gender, beliefs (religious or cultural practices) and values. A disregard of modesty can cause considerable distress to Hindus and in particular to Hindu women. Even in a health care context, women are generally reluctant to undress for examination. If undressing is necessary, it is preferable for a patient to be treated by a doctor or nurse of the same sex.
In the Lower Lusatia version she responds to her mother's orders quite clearly, “I will observe everything well that you have told me.” In Marelles version her mother gives her detailed instruction, “You will ask her how she is, and come back at once, without stopping to chatter on the way with people you don't know. Do you quite understand?” The basic moral is quite evident in both the mothers orders and Red's response, however if you imply the metaphor of the path to grandma's house as the path of virtue than 'straying off the path” has a deeper meaning than simply the physical aspect of wandering the woods. As Little Red begins her journey, all of her mother’s advice quickly leaves her head as she is approached by a wolf. “'The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf...' 'the little girl took a roundabout way, entertaining herself by gathering nuts, running after butterflies, and gathering bouquets of little flowers. '” (Perrault) This animal in particular has been portrayed often in literature as a defiant being, ranging from being a thief, a murderer, and a trickster.
“Lying Awake” by Mark Salzman does a fascinating job at representing the lives of cloistered nuns through a work of fiction. His story follows Sister John of the Cross, a nun who is shown to have these awe-inspiring visions of God that are accompanied by unparalleled feelings of spiritual peace and harmony. Throughout the novel, Salzman makes a point to humanize life in a Carmelite monastery by giving the reader a look into the subtleties and nuances that make cloistered life more relatable to the average person. In doing this, he also taps into the doubts that inevitably come with being a person of faith, and that they do not escape even people who devote their entire ways of life to their religion. As the novel progresses, Sister John begins
Not only emperors, but also women from the imperial family could be ordained as Daoist priestesses. Many other women served as the religious instructors of high-level officials and scholars. Several movements within Daoism are attributed to female founders. Both Daoism and Buddhism offered female followers the possibility of becoming nuns, an accepted option for a woman who did not wish to become a wife and mother. Although Daoism inherited some social biases against women, it allowed them to play a vital role in society.
