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. …show more content…

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

    The first religion and its views on women that will be discussed in this essay is Islam. Islam is a religions founded in Saudi Arabia almost two thousand years ago, by the prophet Muhammad. In fact, Muhammad dedicated much attention towards women in the Koran, the holy book of Islam. However, even though much was dedicated to women in the Koran, it was not dedicated to them in the sense of equality. Women in Islamic culture were apparently much lower on the totem pole than men, "The men are made responsible for the women, since God endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners...If you experience opposition from the women, you shall first talk to them, then [you may use such negative incentives as] deserting them in bed, then you may beat them (129)."

  • Women's Rights In The Middle East Dbq Analysis

    1107 Words  | 3 Pages

    For example document 4 is saying that Khomeini wants to take Iran 1400 years back, which in my opinion is odious for women because back then women have no rights at all so this shows that he doesn't want women to have any rights. Another example is that in document 5 it's saying that women are treated as people who have to obey men. A quote from this document is “Curriculum should focus largely on Islamic religious studies, Quranic Arabic and learning basic cooking, knitting and other skills, in order to prepare women for their role at the centre of the household.” What this quote is saying is that women should learn the basic curriculum in Islam but should also learn how to do household work so that they would do an adequate job at being the housewife. I don't agree with what he says because I want women and other people to do as they please and study whatever they want and if they don’t want a husband then they shouldn't have to take those classes. Finally document, 8 is saying that women should not do what men do. This document is saying that Nawwaf, a Saudi Arabian man, doesn't want to let women drive and wear clothing that reveals their bodies a lot. He said that if women would learn to drive, then next thing you know they'll start doing and going wherever they want. In these documents its showing the people about what's happening in the Middle East about women's

    To understand the significant changes within the role of women, it’s important to look at the position women held in society prior to World War II. In a famously quoted ruling by the United States Supreme Court in a case denying a woman’s right to practice law, the following excerpt penned by the Honorable Joseph P. Bradley in 1873 sums up how women were perceived during that period of time by their male counterparts. Bradley declared, "The paramount destiny and mission of women are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother -- this is the law of the Creator" . While many women may agree that the role of wife and mother is a noble one, most would certainly not agree this position would define their destiny.

    Women have had it rough throughout history. Their declining position in the world started during the Neolithic revolution, into Rome, and past the Renaissance. However, at the turn of the twentieth century, women began advocating for equality no matter their governmental situation. This promotion of women's rights is evident in communist nations during the twentieth century and their fight against hundreds of years of discrimination. It can be seen that women were brainwashed into believing that their rights were equal with the male population through the use of propaganda, yet this need for liberation continued despite government inadequacy at providing these simple rights. Women in communist countries struggled for rights in the twentieth

    It is a bible. The Koran gives examples of the ways a woman needs to act in society. A woman is supposed to be there for their husband’s. A husband can marry multiple woman and the woman may not be upset. A woman may have a dowry, but it is highly favored to give a portion of it to their husband’s. A woman is not allowed to provide testimony, because she cannot be trusted. The women in this document I feel are treated unequal to the male.

  • Confucianism In Lessons For Women

    When one thinks about female traits or characteristics within the Asian culture you are likely to think of obedience and even docility. This can especially be true of Chinese women. Why is this? Where did this behavior and belief system originate? Many scholars and cultural behaviorists would argue that Ban Zhao and Confucius played a pivotal role in this behavioral construct. Confucian teachings are the foundation upon which much of Asian society and culture have been erected. Confucius’ teachings focused on the importance of family dynamics and the need for children to obey and serve their parental figures. Confucius also stressed the need to exercise restraint and to treat others as you would have them treat you. Ban Zhao was the

  • Gender and Its Relationship with the Joy Luck Club

    There are obvious differences within our two cultures and the way we depict gender roles. These differences show themselves in the work force, the distinct tasks performed in the home, and the privileges one receives in society. In the work force, the women of America hold many positions of importance, relatively speaking (I know that's a whole other essay). They are usually treated as equals with men and there are few jobs from which they are excluded, again for the sake of argument. In China, women are expected to stay at home and are not permitted to be in a work force that is held exclusively for men. They are assigned the role of housewives and must stay at home to clean the house and raise the children. Women in America receive education that will prepare them for the high paying jobs of a professional, all while the women in China are obeying the orders from their husbands and culture. The films portrayal of these particular gender roles are very evident. We can't forget however, that this was a western made film and in my opinion I feel that it tends to exaggerate the gender roles. I'm not saying that they are not present, because there is a definite inequality. I just keep in mind that it is a film and has to have an audience appealing theme.

  • Passport To China Essay

    Gender equality has been an issue in the world for the past century. The contrast between men and women in China begins at home and translates into workplace expectations. In China, the expectation in the home is that men are superior to women and that she should be obliged to serve her husband. According to the Passport to China, “Confucianism is still a major factor in Chinese culture. A direct quote from the Passport to China represents this well. “The Confucian husband rules over his wife as a lord rules his people.” This essentially means that the husband is superior to the woman entirely in households that still maintain the Confucian attitudes of the past.

    During 1825 to 1855, this issue was amplified. The primary role of women was described as the Cult of Domesticity, the act of women remaining at home with their primary focus on caring for the children and keeping household running. This served as a way to keep women out public matters and strip them of their democratic rights. Aware of these injustices, many women began to demand that they get basic rights such as the right to divorce, own property, or vote in local elections or national elections. This was emphasized in document 6, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton appealed to the court during the Declarations of Rights and Sentiments. However, not every women was in support of this movement; a handful had appeared content with the Cult of Domesticity. During this period, the idea that all women were dainty and not considered strong enough was broken. As seen in document 7, Francis Gage describes her great strength due to constant back breaking work as a salve and her ability to eat near the same amount of food as a man. The authors purpose of document 7 was to go against the common belief that all women were too dainty and unable to partake in physical activities, proving that women were just as capable as

    Since the beginning of early Confucianism, women in early China suffered oppression. Unfortunately, the religion holds much responsibility for the sexism. Confucius’s answers for the Chinese people’s way of living consisted of sexual discrimination and segregation towards females. Women in China were urged to meet the expectations outlined in Confucian ideals. Such concepts were mainly limited to the men. Thus, Confucianism defined gender expectations. Confucianism stimulated the inequality of women in Chinese culture.

    Women were only second-class citizens. They were supposed to stay home cook, clean, achieve motherhood and please their husbands. The constitution did not allow women to vote until the 19th amendment in 1971 due to gender discrimination. Deeper in the chapter it discusses the glass ceiling. Women by law have equal opportunities, but most business owners, which are men, will not even take them serious. Women also encounter sexual harassment and some men expect them to do certain things in order for them to succeed in that particular workplace. The society did not allow women to pursue a real education or get a real job. Women have always been the submissive person by default, and men have always been the stronger one, and the protector. Since the dawn of time, the world has seen a woman as a trophy for a man’s arm and a sexual desire for a man’s

    Initially, Old Testament describes women as the corrupter of man. However, through interpreting the action of Jesus Christ, we see that he holds women in equal roles as men, to include mention of female apostles. The New Testament does not promote equality but does mention the acts of Jesus. Finally, the Qur'an places women in a subservient role allowing men to keep their under control, by any means. Interpretations of the Gods word under the disguise of organized religion are the product of the gender discrimination of the time and continue to paint women as lesser creatures in the eyes of God.
