In many places women throughout history have wished that they would not be considered inferior to men. It is a significant struggle in the world today, in some countries great strides have been made, and in others nothing has changed. A prime example of a country that has dealt with, is still dealing, with and will deal with women’s equality is Saudi Arabia. Women in this country are subject to harsh rules, put upon them by men. For a long time, women were not even allowed to drive in the country, but the women of the country decided to protest. “Fawziah al-Bakr, a Saudi university professor who was among 47 women

In order for Saudi Arabian culture to have adopted such a mentality they must have had large amounts of people - particularly males - with the same belief in extreme modesty and male superiority. If at the inception of the Saudi Arabian culture individuals believed females were inferior to males, Saudi Arabian culture must have adopted policies that implied male superiority and misogyny. The means by which cultures create consensus upon shared beliefs such as male superiority and misogyny is to make the shared beliefs into a generally accepted ideology or law. Laws are made of rules; they determined “how the [ideology of gender roles] was formulated, applied and implemented” (Yahyaoui 38). In order to make particular gender roles a generally accepted Saudi Arabian ideology, the ideology must have been supported by laws both directly and indirectly. One form of direct control of women is religious police or vigilante. Women aren’t allowed to socialize, act, or dress in a fashion that isn’t considered appropriate. In order to ensure that no woman is behaving outside of what the culture condones, Saudi Arabian males created

Jean P. Sasson wrote a true event story about a Saudi Arabian princess. It was about Sultana’s own life story and the whole book is in her point of view. To protect her identity she had to change names and obviously not explicit hers. It’s a nonfiction story of the outrage that is forced upon women throughout Saudi Arabia even today, a story that leaves readers praying for change before it is too late for the next generation of girls growing up in Saudi Arabia. This story is quite scary and very unbelievable how women around the world are being treated. Even though Arabians have a very different point of view of religion and marriage it’s really all sexist and very sad what women have to go through, no matter rich or poor.

Company Q is a small local grocery store chain that has a poor attitude toward social responsibility. After reviewing the given, I feel the chain is more committed to profit than social responsibility. Most companies are in a business to make a profit, however, the difference in what is considered reasonable and what is considered ridiculous comes into play. Most people start companies because it something they are interested in and to make a living. In today’s society the line between outright social responsibility

In “News Coverage of a Woman’s Rights Campaign,” Saudi women are driving even though it is against the law and they could be thrown in jail. The women consider driving as a right that they should have. Mrs. Qahtani said, “I woke up believing with every part of me that this is my right, I woke up believing this is my duty, and I was no longer afraid,” (Collections 123 lines 19-20). Since men in Saudi Arabia can drive, they don’t understand what the women are going though. “Women in Saudi Arabia see other women in the Middle East making revolutions, women in Yemen and Egypt at the forefront of revolutions, being so bold, toppling over entire governments… The women of Saudi Arabia looked at themselves and they realized, ‘Wow! We can’t even drive,” (Collections 124 lines 43-49). The Saudi women want to make a revolution, they want to be able to do what the men can

Living in Canada like we do today, we don’t see sexism as a big problem in society. Women get roughly the same rights as men, and are treated the same way for the most part, but in many different countries, this is not the case. Take Saudi Arabia for example. Saudi Arabia is rated 127/136 in the world for countries with best women's rights, meaning they are one of the worst in the world. In Saudi Arabia, many laws are in place that may seem crazy to us, but are a way of living for people living there. Let’s take a look at women’s rights in Saudi Arabia!

The idea that gender inequality is still something that is a big issue in the modern era is shocking. Many women and men work at the same jobs and even do many things the same but women and men are not the same not only in individual’s eyes but countries as well. Many believe that changing the way counties think about genders will force or make a movement for the new ideas of gender inequality to be scratched off the list of issues of today. Lisa Abend’s article “Boys Won’t Be Boys”, talks about the idea of Sweden making these needed changes to achieve this goal. This article uses allusions, ethos, and logos to prove that Sweden is on the path of changing the idea of gender inequality to something humanism.

This is demonstrated through both The Kite Runner and the numerous laws in Saudi Arabia that been put against women. Throughout Saudi Arabia, it is clear that women can’t live regular lives, even if they wanted to. There are too many laws against them that make it difficult for them to do even the simplest thing. In The Kite Runner, a woman's role is best shown through

The invitation to appear and be part in a live discussion on the upcoming program is a complex situation, analogous to interviews made for politicians close to elections. Even though, the environment is not the most favorable, every space is essential, and it is an opportunity for IKEA to assume their responsibilities and take ownership of the problem publicly, as they did when the issue of child labor was brought to their attention during the Swedish documentary. Additionally, the company will have the chance to explain to the public opinion all the actions that IKEA has been taking to fight against child labor, including the incorporation of a clause to all supply contracts that stated that “if the supplier employed children under legal working age, the contract will be cancelled” (Chistopher A. Bartlett, 2006). Furthermore, the appointment of an independent third-party to monitor child labor practices at its suppliers in India and Pakistan responsible of conduct random audits.

This article is about the announcement that Saudi Arabia made regarding women being able to legally drive without. After decades women will be able to drive without violating the law. According to Bulos, King, and Ethhad women will be able to legally drive starting next year moving to break a longtime taboo seen as symbolic of the conservative kingdom’s representative treatment of women. This move triggered a happiness on social media from women activist which had a huge impact on social media because it led to “#women2drive.” Women in Saudi Arabia still suffer from social restrictions as Bulos states, “for example, needing permission from male relatives, sometimes their own young sons, to exercise

The Islamic woman in the picture stands for all women in Islamic countries and emphasizes the oppression they face is unacceptable by raising awareness to the problem. As this problem became well known, the International Society of Human Rights has been trying to stop the oppression of women in Islamic countries.

Gender inequality is present in garment factories which negatively impacts women on a daily basis.
