Treatment Of Women Dbq

Essay3: DBQ "Treatment of Women"
Throughout history women have always been treated differently. The Islamic religion and chinese society have helped develop the proper treatment of women .They've set guidelines for how women should be treated correctly and how women should act. In their views both sides must always follow the guidelines. These guidelines basically were like the first set of right s you could say for a woman.

In doc 1, which is an Islamic P.O.V document it states that women should be obedient to god and her husband. It shows how women needed to act and what they were expected to do . In addition, it says how men should treat women if she is acting hostile and they are taught to be very respectful towards them and not to be hostile back.This help build proper treatment of women In doc 2,which comes from a jewish P.O.V states how women shouldn't be allowed to say grace. It implies they aren't worthy or aren't as understanding as the males. The jewish people did the opposite of the Islamic people they thought women were inferior, by a lot.

In doc 4 it says “wives themselves can read and do arithmetic math things will work out all right” by this i can imply that they think women are strong and can survive without a man in their life.This helps with the treatment of women giving them credit of being strong and that they don't have to depend on other people.

IN doc 3 they don't think women have power and from their P.O.V it seems that they think women are not strong and can be independant. Tee men also say in this doc that they can not stand a s as witness in a prosecution. This gives them less power and goes against women, and takes away from the correct treatment of women. An additional doc would be helpful from the P.O.V of a women in that time. Like perhaps a single woman who can describe her life and explain how she is treated and how she feels overall about the status of

women.

In the last doc it shows how women should be around men which is described to act like the opposite of modest. It also states that men should always protect women. This is like good and bad it is giving them protection but also saying women can't defend themselves. Also they find that a naked servat which is a woman extremely bad, it disrespects women. In docs 1,4,and 5 men are very respectful towards women. The others think they aren't worth it and can't and will never be as strong as men.

In conclusion, different cultures saw it differently , however women got more power and a bigger role throughout time . Like women had some involvement with politics and were somewhat equals. In the eyes of a jewish or christian person women are perceived as weak and fragile and had different views about women treatment compare to chinese and islamic people.But women did end up getting better treatment slowly thanks to the type of P.O.V’s shown in doc 1,4 and 5.
